Barren Valley is a town in the Wilderness located east of Central Flats Airstrip. It previously housed about 5 people, but a combination of griefing and players quitting the server has dropped it. It currently does not have any residents, but it is undergoing a renovation project to raise population.

'''Barren Valley''' is a [[wild town]] located east of Central Flats Airstrip.


It has been griefed numerous times, by the 1008er Mafia, the [[CFMR]], the APU, and by tusk2510 and Bardiya_King. As of September 15th, 2024, it is in the first stages of a project to renovate the town by claiming it, replacing some of its buildings, and creating an industrial area.

SpaceHombre, in April 2024, a relatively new player at the time, came across [[Central Road]] in the Wilderness and came to what used to be a dark oak forest (it had been completely deforested). He also noticed that replanting efforts were unsuccessful because saplings were being planted in a singular fashion as opposed to the required 2x2 square to grow a dark oak tree. He built a small house with an exhibit inside explaining how to plant a dark oak tree.


He later had the idea to build and open a convenience store in the Wilderness called WildStop. He placed it near the exhibit. This building still exists. Later, he built a headquarters for WildStop that now serves as a government office.

He then constructed an apartment building (the beige building visible near the right of the first image) and wanted to turn the area into a town. He talked to DK3458 who wanted to be its leader. People began to move in to the town. He then constructed more buildings.

The town had been griefed throughout that time, and eventually the town had no residents. SpaceHombre decided he needed to claim the land, so through loans and donations he claimed a large amount of land. He plans to renew the town to gain a large number of residents.

Barren Valley is a wild town located east of Central Flats Airstrip.

History

A small house in a barren land full of dark green grass.
The house that is now a community centre that explained how to plant dark oak trees.

Barren Valley was founded by SpaceHombre. The first building in Barren Valley was built to display a guide on planting dark oak saplings, and was later converted into a community centre. Another early building was WildStop, a general store. It was later renamed the Barren Valley Public Lounge, a "loophole" unsuccessfully attempting to null an agreement that gave the Central Flats Merchant Republic logging rights.[1]

A consulate was also built nearby by KattoDE, who had planned to build a wild town of his own called Kattoria, which never materialised. Other buildings in the town included apartments and a government office building.[1]

In December 2025, archaeologist NovaKerbal investigated the settlement. The town's residents seemingly "attempted some form of urban planning," although it was found in a state of dilapidation.[2]

In February 2026, Barren Valley was officially annexed by the neighbouring town of Mountain, incorporated as the "Historic District of Barren Valley". The road network running through Barren Valley was cleaned up and widened, and many of the old buildings were repaired.
