Original apart of a crew of 3 [[Deckhands]], IronGolem5, Silver_Wild, and DeDerpyDerp_. DeDerpyDerp_ set out south of their original fort near [[East]] for a place to build a port. After receiving the rank of Firstmate, which he wanted to be able to sail a Frigate, he beached his small dhow at the current location of Port Potato. After constructing a small base, he set north and found a Frigate, to his surprise it was unclaimed. He captured it and sailed it to the Port and thus the Port Potato Navy was created, with the first ship being [[DNS Surprise]]. The first crew DeDerpyDerp_ was in was "[[DNE]]", which didn't last long. Soon, [[Sonu06]] of the crew AQUA asked DeDerpyDerp__ to join him, which he accepted. His 2 friends were kept in the dark of the port, in order to surprise them.

As DeDerpyDerp__ invested into the port, becoming more active, his friends became less active. Not much is recorded of this time, sadly. A more indepth account is taken here: [[DNE]]

It was decided to not be ocean level, as it would block the insignificant river and a few non-Port Potato ships into a small "lake". (As so far we have no intel suggesting they are submersible.)

Port Potato, after seeing a small railroad North West of Port Potato (The "[[Mithlond]] Railways"); has started building our own railroad. It will stretch from the Drydocks, go around Potato Bay, Stop at the current western-most tip of Port Potato (Proper), go via land south to Southern Port Potato, then under water to the Eastern part of Southern Port Potato.

(Quick math leads to pointing to these final plans adding 11,000 claimblocks to Port Potato.)

To finish not just Port Potato, but her docks, Port Potato plans to add docks to the Northern coast of Southern Port Potato.  
 
*10/4/2021 - Due to how narrow Potato Bay is, many docks have been canceled. The Bay will now be more of a mooring spot then docks. 2 full sized docks will still be installed at South-East Port Potato. The Northern Coast of Southern Port Potato is planned to take 1 50x27 ship, and many dhows/schooners. (These smaller ships will have a dedicated spot to be moored.

'''2/2/22 Progress Report'''
As of the end of the day, Port Potato has established a road link to [[Mithlond]], and has mostly finished her 2 main ways, the East Wall, and West Wall. Both these walls are mostly cosmetic, and don't have a gatehouse yet. Port Potato also now has a fountain, with a second beacon for Southern Port Potato (Second beacon and fountain as Fig. 6). Port Potato will also have actual Drydocks, instead of "wet drydocks", where the water never actually got drained. The official size will be 2 50x20 drydocks. Recommended max size of a ship will likely be 46x17, to allow room on both sides and to prevent the ship claiming the dock as her own. At the same time, [[VISN]] has announced [[Project Black Horse]], more details there. Tl;dr VISN will now move to being an ocean going crew.

9/6/2022: Villager Hall is nearly complete; a decent bit of automation has started with an automatic bamboo and sugar cane farm has been created. Plans to get a villager powered automatic potato farm is underway. We have expanded our Westernmost area to include an extra row for more public farms, also under construction. We also have begun work on a massive transport system underground, to strengthen the logistical network at Port Potato.

=== The PTATO Era ===
2/25/2023 Wiki finally back online. Current update dump:
Villie hall refit; Wall Project; Port Potato has her own crew ([[PTATO]]); Port Potato now owns a shop, shop1 (s17); we changed Potato prices; restarted a [[Port Potato Shipyards]]' project, making a new [[DNS Northerly Gale]] design (not to be confused with the [[VEN Northernly Gale]]); and also incase this was never mentioned, we "recaptured" all VISN ships, as we left VISN. All that among many other updates that will be forgotten to time.
==== The Renaming and Overhaul Update ====
Southern Port Potato and Port Potato switched names, giving the older Port Potato the new name "Old Port Potato". And now, the wall around Port Potato is mostly complete. We have also moved and upgraded our semi-auto wood farm to include Oak, Spruce, Jungle, and Birch wood, among with some minor touch ups to make the port look better. This is the start of yet another overhaul of Port Potato. More info coming soon.
'''Second Overhaul Update/Western Expansion Update'''
Port Potato, in hopes to build up her empire, strikes trade deals with old allies, and starts another expansion project. Many things are planned to be completed, from overhauling the villager hall, adding 21 new plots to the West of the Main Wall, to finishing the Northern Anchorage Wall. The final step would be to wall the Western Expansion, then finish the Main Wall and spawn proof Port Potato. (The East still being undeveloped).
6/30/23: Finished the First of many Villie Hall updates, Port Potato as of 7/2/23 can now produce Gtools/Gsets with just xp, anvils, and emeralds. We no longer need to source diamonds (however we have yet to determine which method is cheaper)
7/2/2023: Started the Western Expansion; including permanent berths for the [[DNS Southernly Gale]] and [[DNS Sunken Dreams]] (formerly the BFI Fallen Dreams).
7/7/2023: Western Expansion and almost everything else due to a vacation to Hawaii. Everything will restart on 7/16.
7/24/2023: ''This section is narrated by [[DeDerpyDerp_]]''
"Besides many minor updates, including the villie hall update, Port Potato has finally gotten rid of her extra copper, now only losing an estimated sum of $3,250. (Ow)"
7/24/2023: ''This section is narrated by [[DeDerpyDerp_]]''
"Port Potato has been undergoing many changes recently, the key things being a new and improved Villager Breeder design, from Melon LLC. (We think of it as a return on our investment into helping create [[Melon LLC]] with [[Blobfish123|the_classy_blob]]. We are also still upgrading our villie hall, having/making room for more then 50 villagers, beating many villie halls on the server with our prices. Finally, we're working on expanding and reworking our catacombs to look better, and make ease of logistics within Port Potato easier. This will soon include adding some rail lines below Port Potato, hopefully making a worthy successor to Port Potato Railways. (Due to working to rework Old Port Potato, and the wall around (new) Port Potato, the aboveground line has been abandoned and sloppily maintained. More progress reports will be coming soon.)"
=== College Troubles ===
8/14/23: ''This section is narrated by DeDerpyDerp__.''
"I move in the 16th. I cannot see a way I can keep the shop stocked, or to be active enough to have a shop. I lack interest in almost everything I do, and just can't seem to get myself to log in in my rare freetime. Sadly, it would appear I must yet again take a break from PMC. I shall return, at some point. It's been an honor, and '''may the winds ever help you in your battles, and may we never cross cannons or swords.'''"

'''Max Width:''' 27 wide at the water line.
Any questions, dm [[DeDerpyDerp_]] or /mail him on the server.


NOTE: The bridge shown on the live map is open to anyone to control the lever on it's side, you can see it by inspecting the Northwest side of said bridge.

WIP
Any questions, please dm [[DeDerpyDerp_]] or /mail him on the server.
Founded August 8th; originally because of the land near the canal almost looking flat, and Port Potato wanting more land.
 
NOTE: The bridge shown on the live map is open to anyone to control the lever on it's side, you can see it by inspecting the Northwest or Northeast side of said bridge.
 
'''Advice On Navigating The Canal:''' Place helm signs anywhere from 0-14 blocks away from the furthest point your ship extends to (say, last block of the stern and tip of the bowsprit) to make the turns of the canal/passageway.
 
Max tested size: 80 Long x 6 Deep x 27 Wide
