I stumbled onto map seed A1, that has all 5 bosses and the Trader on the starting continent. Just for a change of pace I thought it might be fun to build a road that connects them all. But it'd be a huge project. Surveying the route, mining the stone/ resources, building comfortable rest stops 1 days travel apart, designing the bridges, leveling the slopes, designing switchbacks up Moder Mountain, etc etc.

Does anyone else think it might sound like a cool enough plan to fire up a multiplayer game? I'm fine bringing in established/ geared toons to get a jump start right to the building. But instead of focusing on a fancy base and acres of farm, it'd be all about making the road something the Romans would envy. Paved, with signposts every 'mile', torches every x yards, covered bridges, whatever. Sure, you can slay bosses or whatever else on your breaks, but I imagine the 'main base' as being somewhat portable and it moves along with the road crew to fix tools, cook stam food, process whatever ores are needed, and get rested buffs. Maybe a farm at the starting point and a port to access it easily. Open to vanilla for simplicity, or a few QoL mods, like mass farming.

Full disclosure- I have never hosted a server, dunno if I would be the best person to do so. I picture it being password protected, but accessible to folks who want to log on and build, even if nobody else is on. If that's a thing.

Any one else have an interest?
