Pyxis is a small town on Civcraft 2.0. It was founded on September 14th, 2015, and is led by Cannonwalker. Before officially "establishing" it as a town, Cannonwalker had simply built a home and lived there alone; this changed with the arrival of Captain_Naughty.
Unlike the town's predecessor, Corvus, one of the intended purposes of Pyxis is to avoid political conflict. Due to this, it has been described by some as a "commune," and operates similarly to one (although private property exists to some degree).
History
Pyxis began on May 6th, 2015 as a small private residence belonging to Cannonwalker. He had recently moved away from Corvus and decided to live on his own in the wilderness. He slowly began building things around his residence, starting with a farm and an inn, then animal farms, and, in August, a tree farm and stone quarry. However, life alone in the wilderness made things somewhat boring.
Cannonwalker decided, on September 14th, to invite Captain_Naughty to come live with him. Naughty arrived the same day, building a chicken egg farm and his own home. Ned_Edgewalker arrived the day after and built his own home, and Beastdudez arrived the day after Ned and did the same.

Goals
In hopes of keeping activity strong and give the town a sense of direction, a list of goals for the town was drawn up. The list is sometimes changed, depending on varying circumstances:
- Create a dual furnace wall/factory building
- Create a charcoal factory
- Create a stone factory
- Build a large wall out of stone brick around the town
