Rail System v4
« on: 20 Jul 2011, 23:29:46 »
dont know how many got a chance to use the rail system i had started....greifers kept me busy : ) i tried to keep it from running to close to anyone.. if i got a lil close i apologise. 80 % was back tward the wilderness and helps at night and would be awasome for shops..anyhoo guess my point is would more people prefer there not be a rail or the rails a good idea?or am i missing something..does v4 allready have a system?welcome any feedback good or bad.....

Well, i saw that rail system from my tower, and decided to take it one day. No offense, but it was really slow. I crept along at half a block per second. Then, i finally hit the powered rails, and i sped along. Perhaps some of the powered rails were griefed or werent powered? Anyway, i think the idea is sound, and even suggested it myself one time when i was new here, but it was shot down, everyone said "thats what spawns are for hurr durr" I think its a good idea, but i think in v4 you should make roads. I think roads look better, and dont require carts. I would make them out of sandstone, like in morningwood. And there could be road signs, pointing people to towns and settlements (which arent towns yet, but hae a lot of people, trust me, there were a lot in v2.) and shops. Also, you could charge people to build their shops right next to the road. (maybe). anyway, just some suggestions. Yes, rail systems are a good idea.

If im not mistaken, we are wanting the towns to be closer to gether like they were in earlier versions, so it would b useful then so we wouldnt have to use /t spawn. More realsitic, and rpgish

Actually, yeah. Then you would have just a huge sector of wilderness to explore and settle in, rather than little splotches of it here and there.

ooo it was definatly griefed...daily lol it was put in the air instead of a road cause i knew i couldnt protect it all and was bout impossible to keep lights on....everyone kept takin them lol and bout the time i finally conected it all in a big circle and got all the tracks laid  it was anounced v4  so i figured id not waste no more time on it....i liked it in the sky because it allowed me to keep the tracks straight as possible without having to get to close or interfear with peoples homes and such.....the track was slow it had about 1/3 the powerd rails it should have had..not to mention i funded this big project by myself built probly 95 % angel lord donated some track ( thank you so much)...the plans were grander big loop first then mabe have those that wanted continue to the homes or shops the track was supposed to have glowstone along it and be covered for protection but like i said after version 4 was anounced i gave up after greifers robbed my chests and kept messin with the rail....to much for me to protect myself....for the most part being an unwhitelisted server hard to watch everyone...least they didnt burn it all up lol...anywho thanks for the input guys guess ill have to wait till i see the world to decied or find some people willing to sponcer another

All I know is that I enjoyed a ride on it, great views and good and safe way to have a look at what other people are building.

it sounds like a good idea to make a rail system it could connect all the towns and even be good for trading  [chest] [furnace]

I'm sorry but I don't like the Idea of a Rail System running through my town unless it actually looks like a rail.  So I don't think Entrolla shall be having one.

EDIT: I think however there will be a bridge to Noobstown from Entrolla like in V1

Bukknuttie, what if you built a central train station, somewhere just outside Noobstown, with tracks leading to each town (with the exception of Entrolla). This would allow for easy travel between towns. If towns close together built train tracks to eachother, we could make a train network.

That might look like half a spiderweb, or a fan shape. Its a good idea. And now that we can all be sure it wont get griefed, ill chip in with some funds. Not like 100000 or anything, but a might throw in a few thousand and help make it.

i will have to start makin maps and figure out where most people/towns are located its tuff trying to figure out whats some ones 1 night shack and whats some ones wilderness perm home people get ****y if you get to close some are happy its close to them i see both sides...if i get to close(i try not to unless someone requests it) or i allways ask if i can build near(if i can find the owner of the home/land...i try to keep it straight and clean as possible...if for some odd reason the rail happen to go across something that someone was going to build on just plant a sign telling me how far and what way to go to get to you or how far to go around...this is an expensive adventure especially when i start laying tracks and glowstone...iv abandoned the idea of reviving the town of fairborn for now to work on the rail..i truely believe that it would be neat for shops that are out of the way and as another said great way to see other homes and things people built..heck build your home around the rail if you like..front door service to the rail would be neat : ) would greatly appriciate more comments and help as this will be for everybody to use for free..i want everyone to enjoy the rail and our new world  : )

you dont have to have it going through your town you could have a underground system of rail networks
