OK, based on that map, my tentative proposal is to have two loops, where one side of one cuts across Spawn Island and the rest is south of it, and the other one is inside of the castle and the pyramid and the Stargate.  Obviously they would be connected. 

I guess the first steps are to do a brief survey of Spawn Island's surface, then tour certain underground facilities to see how big an obstacle they pose, then make an exploratory cut along the planned route under Spawn Island to make sure that space is "available". 

The tunnel is planned to be 3 high and 5 wide, material to be determined but stone would be the easiest since it's going to be preexisting in many places.  It would be nice to have much of the tunnel at seafloor level to give people something to look at but I don't know whether that will work out.  Although it occurs to me that there's no rule that says the whole loop as to be at the same elevation...

[edit:  hooking up the route exits to the destinations is going to be a bitch, but that's true for any subway IMO so right now I'm thinking we'll just cross that bridge when I come to it.  Better suggestions are welcome.]


it will be a pain to join systems, i will say i have revised my plan just a bit, no tunnel will be cut to the west. a northern tunnel will be cut after i finnish the southern tunnel and the eastern tunnel, branches off the main tunnels will service each house if they want them,

i will also stay at bed rock level,  sea level is quite a bit above that. if your worried about blobs, build above layer 16. ive only had issues in patch 1.2, and in 1.3 near joes where lighting is still and issue

Yeah, I'm not worried about your tunnels at all really, just stuff like Ben's underground complex.

I currently have 2 under water rail lines from my silo.

One going to spawn and one going to an island near Final's place.

So far, I only have underground tunnels connecting all of my stuff. I haven't yet added railways to them, but I plan to before too long because, let's face it, it's necessary. I'm almost complete working on a new castle of mine at 950 North. That's a long way up.

Remind me not to build so dang far away. My ice castle, I built further away than just about anything major ever has been built. This resulted in long treks every time I'd fall to my death, and it's taking me foreverrrrrr to connect tunnels to it.

 

We need proper teleportation and we need it now.

thetonestarr, That's quite cool

I am finally beginning construction on the first highway loop.  I'm doing a lot of it underwater to give riders a scenic view, but underwater construction is kind of a bitch. 

(To make it less bitchy, try using reeds! (sugar cane)  I know I am.)

I'm doing the highway proper first, then adding the exits after.  To see the work in progress, you can go to the Farm Island basement, or the other end is currently out past Ben's tower.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

I've begun construction on my own massive piece of work. This baby's going to easily be the most incredible thing on this server (and possibly by a long shot), if I have the patience to complete it.

I'm not going to disclose exact details... yet... but just know it's going to be HUGE. Present plans are that it'll be 273 blocks wide by 273 blocks long, but if it doesn't take too much time to make it that way or I really like it after I complete that, I'll add onto it, and it'll be 399x399.

That's MASSIVE, though, so I probably won't. 273x273 already means I'll have to use 74,500 blocks just to build the first layer of this thing. That's a LOT. If I move up to 399x399, it literally more than doubles the required block count, bringing it to just under 160,000.

 

So, really, what I'm saying is... anybody interested in helping out? I need all the help I can get.

Just out of curiosity, what's the visible range of the player?

Now to reveal the first stage of my project!

 

Introducing Kojiiriin City, soon to be the most modern and cutting edge creation yet to be found in the land of.... hmm, what IS our land? We don't have a name for it.

But the city... plans currently are for it to be a total of 16 city blocks (4x4, possibly to be expanded to 25 (5x5) or 36 (6x6). What you see here is the beginnings of the FIRST city block. Each block will contain anywhere from 1 to 6 buildings (1 means it takes all 42 blocks, 6 means they're split up by alleyways like the left side of the block you see here, and there will be all variations in between). And I intend to design at least three skyscrapers, including one that'd be impressive by even modern architecture standards. With all of this said, I'm going to repeat my request for assistance. I'm going to need help leveling out the surrounding land (about 150 blocks both north and east), and in extending the city. The basic dimensions, I'm going to post in my next post, for those interested in helping. Contact JamminR, Final-Fan, or me here or in-game if you want the location.

 

But back to our server. We need a name for it. I just discussed it with Goddog and he's pretty interested in the idea. So, here's the deal. Let's come up with a new name! And whoever's suggested name ends up being picked, they get to have and design an entire city block in Kojiiriin City. Each city block is 42x42 blocks, sitting at an elevation of about 75. With how gigantically epic Kojiiriin City will be, it's surely going to be one of the biggest - if not THE biggest - attraction in the world. And owning an entire block all to oneself will definitely be a pretty big thing.

But wait! There's more! Goddog has other plans for OTHER prizes (though additional prizes are yet to be determined).

 

So, start suggesting! So far we have:

-Rodinia (variants: Rhodinia, Rodhiinia, etc)

-Dion (variants: Diion, Dionne, etc)

-Willamette
