Underground Railroad
« on: April 11, 2015, 02:11:47 am »
So a few days ago, I bought two bunnies from swim. She lived really far away from me though. So before I even got halfway home, both bunnies died.  :-\

So I decided the build an Underground Railroad. It'll be at around diamond level, so it won't interfere with many surface builds, but it'll be a 3x3 railroad system connecting around the whole map, making it easier to transport items. It will either go around spawn, or maybe it'll lead up and you'll have to walk through spawn. I haven't decided yet. It will be open to everyone who needs it.

But my concern is griefing. It will expand under the whole map, so it might be difficult to detect grief for a while. And also as I will be laying rails, minecarts, and torches for the expansion of the railroad, griefing will be an inconvenience to many people.

Any volunteers to help/critiques/advice/critism/comments?

It bugs me that I used the word 'so' to start off two paragraphs. Oops. Sorry to others who cringed while reading that as well.

I can easily see how an above ground railroad would annoy a lot of people since it would cover a lot of land and may not look as nice, but underground sounds really neat. Something similar was built on the old map, and it looked pretty awesome. good luck! I may help from time to time :)

Sounds like a plan then. We could do this together :) Build above ground but if people don't want that then we'll build underground.

I like it. I didn't even realize there was an aboveground railroad. I'm starting up in the snowy region right now, halfway between the NotaRex and Shade castles. I'll try to get a branch or two connected up to the surface onto one of your rails. Only I don't know where your railroad starts/ends.

Do we have a solution to the grief question I proposed? (Blood, I believe parts of your railroad have already been griefed. :/)

Yea a couple of things but if people use the railroad and run into a grief, then they should report it so others don't have to run into it as well.
