The new spawn area is officially open. New players now begin deep underground and must pass a few simple tests before either reaching the surface, or teleporting to one of the six hub areas which are located both across the surface of the world, and in space.
If choosing the path to the surface, travelling a short way from the spawn building will let players find a place they can build.
Credit for the planning, design and building of the new spawn goes mostly to RustyWheel and mythus.
