This server is a vanilla client survival experiment where the mechanics push people to work together. Trying to play solo is super hard. Crops and ores are locked to different regions so you cannot just get everything where you live.
If you settle in a tundra you will need to trade with desert groups to get stuff like cactus and sand. That makes players talk and build trade and deals instead of hiding underground.
The world is meant to be permanent and always changing with no resets. The admins set up scarcity and biome locked resources and factory based industry then they step back. There are no admin forced events so wars treaties and trade all happen naturally.
A huge part of the server is the Printing Press. Players mass produce books to record laws religions and conflicts and that history is starting to get archived on the community wiki.
