Donfuer 28 was the greatest base built by Donfuer until that point. It was also the longest lasting main base in Donfuer history.

History

Humble Beginnings

In early 2023, Lukent & D_loaded began to discuss plans for the next main base. Lukent suggested to D_loaded the idea of an untraceable base, intending to do something similar to what The Spawnmasons had done with SkyMasons. Working with Thnks_CJ, they replicated the proxy system the Spawnmasons used for Sky, allowing members to log on without seeing the true coordinates. At this time, another base was started by D_loaded called CollabFuer. This base kept many members of the group active while preparations were made. After Lukent travelled multiple accounts out into the End to the location of the base, Darkomier began work on the center island of the base that became the Main Island. Meanwhile, Lukent worked with N8TT to transport materials to the base. After the center island was completed, Bonk2b2t and JoetheBlu3 were given access to proxies and they, along with D_loaded, built much of the Castle Town on the Main Island.

Over the next couple months, only a few select members of Donfuer were given access to the base, in order to keep the base secure. In August 2023, 2b2t updated to 1.19.4. This rendered the proxy system useless, so discussions began amongst leadership about how they would proceed. Around this time, several trusted members of the group were given access to the base.

Early Construction

Phospho designed an island, built on the server by Darkomier, where she would build in her signature Futuristic Style. After she built up her area enough, she placed signs in the area as her "Final Goodbye" to the server when she quit 2b2t.

The first major project that was undertaken after the main island was built was to construct the 2 massive dragons next to it. These dragons were designed by members of the group to fit the initial theme of a Fantasy Island for the main area of the base. Toska designed the Red Dragon and the Yellow Dragon was designed by Phosph0lipid.

N8TT and Max1mumChr1s worked together to construct the base of the Asian Island after Phospho's area was built. This was in an effort to continue activity at the base. Tukamateer built a large wall and gatehouse on the island, as well as constructing the large blue roofed build on the island. Traveeseemo and Bonk filled this island, adding many unique builds to the area.

After the construction of the Asian Island, D_loaded decided to start work on a large dock area just north of the Asian Area. He constructed several large towers and mushroom builds in a style he enjoyed. He built large docks around the area and expanded around the existing island. Max1mumChr1s expanded upon this idea by building a large man-made ocean around the island. Senko_Foxx came in after the ocean was filled and placed kelp, coral, and sea-grass all around the inside of the water. Boats and other ocean themed builds were made by D_loaded, Max1mumChr1s, and N8TT.

Hotpandalovin504 arrived at the base and began construction on a large Mayan Temple Pyramid. He built this pyramid in the northeast corner of the base, and it was considered to be one of the best builds at the base. He built a large jungle area around the temple, and he and Max1mumChr1s built several small statues throughout the jungle.

At the same time that Panda began working on his temple, N8TT began putting interiors in every house on the main island. He started with his diagonal house area, then going to every house and building on the main island. Max1mumChr1s and Traveeseemo also added interiors to the builds they made. N8TT put interiors into every build on the main island. This inspired the future plans where every member of the base built a room for themselves in the castle that was unique to them. The downside to this effort to interior every build on the Main Island was when N8TT had the idea to place brown mushrooms next to one of the houses. This began what the members of the base referred to as the "Great Mushroom War".

Mid-Construction

The next major island that was built was the Evil Island. This island was constructed by Lukent and N8TT and the Castle was built by Darkomier. After the completion of the castle, D_loaded built houses on this island. Other members of the base also built houses here such as Deathstar784, Max1mumChr1s, Bonk2b2t, and N8TT. N8TT built the third dragon at the base here, constructing a 2-Headed Black Dragon breathing fire into the broken portion of the castle. After Javikia was added to the base, he completed construction of the housing area on the Evil Island.

Next, Deathstar784 suggested to D_loaded to build an area similar to the game "Cyberpunk 2077". D_loaded designed the base island of the cyberpunk area and it was built on the server by Lukent. It included green glass rivers flowing through it to give the feel of a toxic waste future area. This area was expanded once by Deathstar to allow for more builds to be made, and there was a plan to create even a third section of this area, but this was never completed.

TorturedCosine came to the base after the destruction of his personal "Skyrim Base". He decided he wanted to make a large build that was reminiscent of this base, so he began work on a large globe with 2 large castles held inside. It was held underneath by 2 large obsidian hands, and construction of a large mask was begun as well. Cosine was never able to finish this build.

As the base grew, several other members of Donfuer were added to the base such as rainbowren11 and FIRECATinBLACK. Not long after being added to the base however, rainbowren11 accidentally streamed the base in VC to Javikia, Mako1301, Swavy (pvpimp), and Sanuty while getting some banners for a Gatekeepers project, so they were also added to the base discord and given access to the proxy accounts at the base.

Late Construction

The base continued to grow, and Lukent began removing more of the existing End Islands from around the base. Lukent began to AFK mine out the islands; Max1mumChr1s, TorturedCosine, Deathstar784, Darkomier, and others at the base helped with this effort, cleaning up the base, and creating greater voids between the islands. This also helped with the look of the base, truly making it feel like it was built in the middle of nowhere.

In all, about 50 million blocks of end stone were removed in the construction of the base.

One of the largest islands built was the "Heaven Island", constructed by knullsidor. The island base was built completely out of wool that was farmed using several string dupers built at the base when they were active during 1.19.4. The walls and gates were designed to look like the "Pearly Gates" typically depicted of Heaven. A large coliseum was built by knullsidor, and completed in June 2024.

One of the last islands to be built was the Fantasy Island between the Dock Island and the Asian Island. This island was designed by JoetheBlu3 and was constructed by Max1mumChr1s and Boojr. Above the island was the 5th dragon at the base, which was a Blue Wyvern designed by Vethre.

Many other smaller builds were spread around the base in between the islands to fill space and make the base feel more complete. These included the many smaller islands constructed by Senko_Foxx, the Enderman farm built by Max1mumChr1s, Glubtubbis' Space Dock, the Battle Pyramid, and the Planet Express Space Ship.

Destruction & Aftermath

In late June, 2024; N8TT and Lukent began to have a bad feeling. On July 3rd, 2024, Lukent decided to follow his gut and travel down the existing 1.12 chunk trail that led to the base. It was about 20k blocks away from the base that he discovered a pearl stasis staging area. Here he found signs naming two known members of Outlast, with active pearls placed. This was the confirmation he needed to pull a "Red Alert". He immediately notified N8TT, D_loaded, Deathstar, all of which had their accounts at the base. They began preparation to move the over 250 dubs of materials from the base, gathering up everything they could from every island. All the materials and valuables from the base were moved away, and other members were then told the news.

On July 4th, all the members of the base that had accounts there gathered together in VC to blow up the base. Lukent destroyed the staging area that Outlast had, and the group self-griefed the base. Nigerianprince & jackafa_ showed up to the base while the builders were self-griefing and attempted to stop them, including killing one of the members of the base, but were unable to stop the grief.

This base can be viewed on The Archive (server).
