What are Vooperians?

    Been seeing a lot of saves on the Powder Toy pertaining to these "Vooperians". From what I understand, they're some kind of faction?

    Don't suppose anyone could elaborate upon this a bit for me?

    I'll explain. So theres this youtuber 'Spike Viper' who makes videos about TPT. Now see thing is he made a sort of 'vooperian empire', where his fans make ships, bombs, materials and all sorts of stuff. This is not a new concept, there are many of those empires and its quite a cool thing to see. The problem is people are hating on it because apparently its bad when a youtuber starts it... But yeah, so precisely vooperians are just a part of that youtuber's empire and they make stuff.

    Ah, I see.

    In relation to the the hand weapons like rifles and such, you mentioned that there's some cray based ones. I'm assuming they're either not the easiest to find, or that they are focused on less than the ships, bombs and materials. For the most part, I see a lot of ships and such, save-wise, relating to the Vooperians, but barely any sorts of firearms or cray based weaponry. Vooperian hand weaponry would be rather interesting to see, in my opinion.

    I'll expand a bit on this because Vooperia as a whole is a bit more nuanced.

     

    The United Federations began several years ago as the uniting of the Federations which made up my Minecraft server. Yeah, years ago. When my Youtube took off, The home planet SpookVooper was declared in a now-ancient Universe Sandbox 2 video, leading to the creation of the Vooperian identity - one nation that unified Earth through a brutal Hearts of Iron IV campaign and which continued to grow in lore.

     

    Having some fun with this, I created a government system and economy (literal stock exchange and company system) using my programming experience to create an in-depth metagame for my channel subscribers. Vooperia is on its fourth Senate (turns out fake politics can also become quite slimy!) and there's always stuff going on.

     

    Vooperia appearing on The Powder Toy is just a way to identify creations to showcase in my videos from fans - for the most part, this has worked as intended, but there are some stolen saves and quite spammy creations. I've been trying to contact people who engage in bad behavior and prevent such things from occuring - but, you know, there's only so much control you can have over people on the internet.

     

    So basically, Vooperia is a virtual nation which is now beginning to design cities, ships, and creative solutions in The Powder Toy to build up what is an old and lore-rich fictional country.

    @Denderth Essentially, the reason people focus more about spaceships is because well they are cool. But its common for TPT empires in general to have mainly ships, but if you look at the by date you can also find some vooperian bombs every now and then, rarely also cray guns, but the cray guns are usually installed on the ships.

    I see. That's rather interesting, honestly.

    This is the map of the planet SpookVooper and the fifteen districts within. Each district is represented by one democratically elected Senator.
