Craft Attack 14: Veni builds a data centre in the wild as a protest

Streamer Veni is building a data centre in the middle of untouched terrain on the Craft Attack 14 server, German site Mein-MMO reported on Thursday, 15 October. In a short YouTube video, Veni says he wants to bring “the reality of AI” onto the server. As in real life, the nature around the build is supposed to suffer and the area is supposed to get loud.

The trigger was the first few days of the season, when several participants showed designs made with AI. According to Mein-MMO, Letshugo had a pirate settlement generated and Zarbex showed a petrol station with a giant spider. Veni is still building, and a reply from the Mein-MMO editors in the comments says substations are part of the plan.

A delivery company called NOTY GmbH

On Wednesday Mein-MMO also covered Nooreax, who is playing the season as NOTY GmbH. Together with his flatmates Dimeax and Norman he delivers materials to other players, who order through a custom tool styled like Windows XP. Payment is in items, Twitch favours or whatever both sides agree on. When BastiGHG ordered slime on day four, Nooreax had none in stock and bought it from another streamer in exchange for Twitch subs. He admits the business barely pays off, since delivery is free.

He covers plenty of ground anyway. On the official stats page Nooreax leads mobs killed with 3,933 and distance with about 1,393 kilometres.

Day 6 in numbers

We have no snapshot from Wednesday. So we compared the official stats from Tuesday at 21:35 CEST with Thursday at 12:25 CEST. 98 players have logged in so far, one more than on Tuesday. Deaths rose from 414 to 485, and total playtime went from about 2,580 to just over 3,450 hours.

TriDanYT now leads the diamond board with 2,602, ahead of SpaceMitX on 2,062. Zarbex is new on the list with 1,095. Schradin still has the most deaths, now 52. WillyGamingHD has broken 112,631 blocks, Gamerstime 105,331. Huytastic is a new name near the top, second for mobs with 3,263. Urutox has the most time online at almost 82 hours. The site now also counts totems used, and Letshugo leads that board with 17.

At Thursday noon 17 streams were live with about 66,300 viewers in total, led by MontanaBlack with just under 17,900 and Gamerstime with just over 15,100. Our Craft Attack 14 participants page shows who is streaming right now.
