 About two months passed during which Tefal dug the first half of the 100x100 square, consuming a mind-boggling number of diamonds in the process. Some precious help was obtained from fellow players, last but not least by Anon1234 helping out with the final phase of the digging, finally clearing out a 100x50x13 empty space deep underground. About two months passed during which Tefal dug the first half of the 100x100 square, consuming a mind-boggling number of diamonds in the process.

 It was now time to make the place nicer. Dirt was put in place, an artificial forest grown on top of it, an artificial lake and a proper (side) entrance made. The previous access tunnel was transformed into a waterfall. Ceiling redstone lamps were built that turn on and off with the day-night cycle. It was now time to make the place nicer.

 +=== War and the long hiatus (02.2014 - 09.2019) ===
 +
 +As a neighbor of [[nations:​dwarf|Dwarven Realm]], the KRAFT got involved in the [[battles:​enderwar|Ender-Dwarven war]]. Wither warfare during the [[battles:​dwarfliberation|Battle of Karak Khaldun]] devastated the aboveground settlement of [[settlements:​klamdau|Klamdorf]];​ the Geofront was built to withstand it and emerged unscathed. Though the damage was rolled back, it made the inhabitants of Klamdau leave.

 +Tefal was now alone in an unfinished, abandoned nation. He too eventually lost interest and left.
 +
 +=== Nostalgia and handover (09.2019) ===
 +
 +Looking back at his past, Tefal logged in after five years and came back to find the KRAFT untouched. Time had marched on; most of the server'​s players he knew were gone. Not wanting his work to be forgotten, he started looking for somebody else to take care of it.

-The single defining factor about the settlement is the space it is built in, also known as the Klamdau ​Geofront ​or Unterbodenbach. There currently is not much in it but for the lake and brook that give it one of its namesAbove it lies the island currently known as Sebagalia, which was being settled by Koinu but is now abandoned, leaving a half-built ​pedał ​town behind.+The single defining factor about the settlement is the space it is built in, also known as the Klamdauer ​Geofront.

-As the name of the KRAFT implies, the Geofront below the island ​is to be used for research and development. Expect to see strange redstone machinery; in the event of a major catastrophe,​ the cave shall be used as a containment facility and be permanently ​sealed away.+As the name of the KRAFT implies, the Geofront below the island ​was meant to be used for research and development. Expect to see strange redstone machinery; in the event of a major catastrophe,​ the cave can be used as a containment facility and sealed away.
  
-On the other hand, the goal of the Geofront, if not as a containment facility, ​is to allow its occupants to survive unrestricted wither warfare and/or the covering of the entire map with magma. To this end, it can be completely cut off from the outside and is expected to function autonomously,​ with its own food sources and tree farms. Mineral resources are provided by expanding the cave. The Geofront also acts as a makeshift Noah's Ark, with at least one specimen of every tree and plant being cultivated and preserved.+Another ​goal of the Geofront is to allow its occupants to survive unrestricted wither warfare and/or the covering of the entire map with magma.

-The KRAFT is surrounded by the rest of the mostly-inactive [[settlements:​klamdau|Klamdau Settlements]],​ [[settlements:​ascunse_padure|Ascunse Pădure]] and the [[settlements:​klamdau|County of Klamdau]]. Beyond them, an influent neighbor ​is [[settlements:​karak_khaldun|Karak Khaldun]] in the East, similarly underground and autistic. Informal diplomatic relationships between the two settlements ​are generally friendly despite Karak Khaldun exerting pressure on the KRAFT to join the [[nations:​dwarf|Dwarven Realm]]. A connection linking the Geofront to the Underway linking the Dwarven settlements ​is in discussion.+The KRAFT is surrounded by the rest of the inactive [[settlements:​klamdau|Klamdau Settlements]],​ [[settlements:​ascunse_padure|Ascunse Pădure]] and the [[settlements:​klamdau|County of Klamdau]].

 Dig. Make the place prettier. Wash, rinse, repeat. Building the Geofront is a mixed meditation-gardening exercise. Since MystiaLorelei and PPA have all but abandoned building, the place is ronery. Dig. Make the place prettier. Wash, rinse, repeat. Building the Geofront is a mixed meditation-gardening exercise.

-The dead quiet of the abandoned Klamdau settlements ​is occasionally troubled by [[battles:​dwarfliberation|unrestricted wither warfare]] against [[settlements:​karak_khaldun|neighboring settlements]],​ which is a sure-fire way to get Tefal pissed off and trying to hack away at people with a stone sword (because too poor to afford losing diamonds to warmongers).+The dead quiet of the abandoned Klamdau settlements ​was occasionally troubled by [[battles:​dwarfliberation|unrestricted wither warfare]] against [[settlements:​karak_khaldun|neighboring settlements]],​ which was a sure-fire way to get Tefal pissed off and trying to hack away at people with a stone sword (because too poor to afford losing diamonds to warmongers).
