Location
A guildhall for the organization of the Body Monument build is located at 1032, -5574, just east of the Maia CS. Publicly-stashable warehouses are also located there if you wish to make donations to help with the monument effort.
The monument construction site is located at 958 -6407, about a 5 minutes' run south of the Maia CS, on the top level of a scenic plateau (and known Golden Sun spawn location!). Please be sure to register your support at the construction site so that we can get a good idea of how many folks we have and need in order to finalize the monument.
Test Proposals
Add 'em if you've got 'em.
- Test of the Mountaineer - A competitive mountaineering body test. Adds the ability to climb "too steep" slopes, adds new mountain-growing herbs & shrooms. Think Cicadas but more underhanded.
- Test of Isis Bounty - A seafaring body test. Adds the ability to build ships to sail around on large bodies of water, looking for treasure caches. Think Pirates of the Red Sea.
Most Urgent Needs
The biggest challenge (aside from gathering the people) for the Body Monument is coming up with the rare beer and wine flavors. The most difficult beer is Cherry Cinnamon -- leading beer experts have informed me that in order to produce this, we will need a Yeast-17/Yeast-9 spot. If you have (or can make) a beer kettle kit or three, please consider doing some yeast tests near your compound to try to help us locate this sequence if microbes. This is easy to do: just plop down the Beer Kettle kit, hit "Yeast Test", then hit "Begin" (requires 25 Water in Jugs and 60 Wood -- Jugs are returned). 40 minutes later, you will be able to view the results. Just copy them to clipboard and paste them into an empty text file along with the coordinates the beer kettle is sitting at. Ideally, the list of microbes will start with "Yeast-17 Yeast-9", but if both of those microbes are near the top of the list (and in that order), that's also helpful (it may mean that there is a spot nearby that will work, even if that exact spot won't). Note that you will need 1 Small Barrel to see the results of the yeast test. The small barrel is not consumed, and can be re-used again and again to do multiple yeast tests.
More immediately urgent even than finding that yeast spot is wines. I have been informed that if a wine flavor genuinely does not exist in Egypt (i.e., is impossible), the monument requirement for that wine can be changed. But, on the other hand, if even a single bottle of a rare flavor exists in some inactive player's wine stash warehouse somewhere, we're out of luck. What does this mean in practical terms? It means that we need to be able to produce every flavor that is produceable: there are several inactive winemakers who very well may have found flavors that are not in general circulation, and we need to also be able to produce those flavors or the Body Monument won't happen. Flavors can take several vintages to develop in a wine (each vintage is one Egypt month, or about 10 RL days), so even if the telling lasts for three more months, we're still on a very tight schedule to find those flavors.
How can you help? Flavor testing. Obtain/grow a large number of vine cuttings for a vine type that has at least one or two very good tends (most important qualities: +Grapes, +Quality, +Acid). Place a vineyard at the location you wish to test and plant a vine cutting. If the first state/tend (see Wine) is one of the good tends, you're set. If not, tear that vineyard down and rebuild. Once you have a vineyard that produces a good initial state, tend once (this should give you positive grapes, positive quality, and positive acid), then harvest those grapes. Repeat until you have enough for 10 bottles (210 grapes). You can then tear down the vineyard (but make a note of the coords that those grapes came from. Place those 210 grapes into a Wine Barrel, sealing with a Barrel Tap, then immediately bottle the wine (you will need 10 Empty Wine Bottles for this). Wait for the Egypt month to change. Your wine is now 1 vintage old. Uncork 1 bottle at a Ceremonial Tasting Table with a good selection of glasses (including one high quality wine glass). Make a note of the flavors. If a needed flavor has shown up, you're in business, and you already have the 7 bottles needed, ready to donate to the monument. If not, wait another month (vintage) and try again. It sounds complicated, but it's really not once you've done it a couple of times -- it's actually kinda fun looking for flavor spots.
