Template:Infobox bookAndamooka is a South-West Alaskan township located west of the province capital of Newburn. It resides on the Southern Alaskan coast, with a rich supply of ice.

Andamooka is based on the real-life township of Andamooka located in Australia, roughly 600km north of the South Australian capital of Adelaide.

History

Andamooka was founded by user Cazdog11 on the 12th of October, 2019. Caz was previously a resident of Yukon town Innucisai.

On the 15th October, the town established its own ice highway service for the Holy Alaskan Empire, connecting the smaller towns across Yukon, Kodiak and the Bering-Strait with each other.

Early History

Before Andamooka was settled, there was a town named Kipnuk which resided in the same location. Unfortunately, Kipnuk never became a large town, as there was one double-storied building, one home, a run-down spawnpoint and a half-built flagpole structure. These have since been renovated and repaired by Cazdog11.

It is estimated that Kipnuk's maximum size was 20482m (8 chunks).

Architecture

Andamooka is home to Cazdog's Ice Highway Headquarters, which is south-east of the town spawn. It is 16*16*12 structure made of blue ice and regular ice. There, you may send in a request with a named piece of paper (can edit through the anvil) and get replies back quickly.

Newburn resident GironoGirvana has constructed the Andamooka - Newburn Pillar of Peace, symbolising the peace between the neighbouring towns. Around the structure has redstone, lapis lazuli and iron blocks, which all have individual meanings.

Future Projects

Andamooka resident armanfire has planned to build a military tower building to the eastern chunk of the Andamooka - Newburn Pillar of Peace.

Town Subdivisions

Andamooka is split into several subdivisions. There is a shopping district (currently inactive but soon to become active), a residential district, which is just south, just north and east to the town spawn. The industrial district of the town is split, with the space between the Ice Highway Headquarters and Andamooka Station being taken up by residential plots. To the south of the town spawn, beyond the station, the Andamooka Harbour is soon to be renovated to have stores and its own residential district, which would house the rather higher socio-economic residents of Andamooka.
