As a side note, If this idea is in fact given a yes: I will gladly take on the task myself. Honestly, I work quicker alone. Also, I can get all the redstone circuitry setup perfectly. The Minecart Station design I've got is set to have as many arrival bays as you wish, along with as many departure lines as you wish.
No over head rail lines. It is the same as underground ones. People like to get on at some random point along the line and this stops them from doing that. Also I personally would think something overhead like that would be quite ugly intact. Especially with the redstone circuitry etc.
Look at the rail lines we have now. Are they pretty? They're just randomly placed everywhere. Organization is needed and the first step to conquering that task is by organizing your means of transportation.
I think a skyrail would make sense for some areas, underground or surface for others. I can imagine a skyrail being useful at coastal areas, maybe we can have one going to the floating continent building site nearby to keep that starting again. TLDR version: Yeah, why not add skyrails to our options? Let's talk where and how!
I like the dual system. We have direct lines that go underground / in the air / under water / etc from one central place to another. And then we have the local lines which have more stops and go on the surface so you go on and off at any place.
Going to the floating continent from the central station would be good. Just like the jungle line. But in a style like the red lines original overgroud location it would look terrible. I like the suburban tile layout of the current lines.
Alright was just making sure and i just now got used too running and pressing the space bar perfectly
Welcome Rob. Always good to have new people help with the rail. The rail lines are in the process of being reorganised. The system around the town is largely complete apart from integrating the old line. I'll be doing that next week. Have a look back through this thread and you'll find some information on the changes and progress. Also some discussion and relevant links on our rail system discussion at the pirate pad http://piratenpad.de/p/emc-last-light-outpost. Just remember that all current work is owned by someone so before you make any changes to any stations or rail lines check with the owner first or post a sign with a week's warning of the work you intend to do. Owners may have signposted their work or have been identified on this forum.
By the way it looks from the live map like the white line has disappeared. Anyone know what happened to it?
Zulu, omleterice and I have been talking and we thought that we could join the yellow line to the theatre. Any ideas, suggestions?
Its still there? or do you mean the snow line? The snow line was taken down while I was busy negotiating my isp with guns.
I looks fine as far as I can tell. I put some torches on the white and green line surface parts. I am afraid once mods come back creeper would ruin the thing. Feel free to replace those with other light sources as you go ahead with the building.
Shavingfoam and some others asked me and imgona to help take it down earlier. Were we not supposed to? Curry line could join the theater, maybe then people would actually use it. Will have to wait until Curundu says so since it's his theater.
I also thought this one was going to replaced by a new line. Seems the cyan one took most part of it. It goes to the harbor. And the local ones from central go the farms I guess. Wasn't there a direct line to farms / treehfarm planned too?
@Rail Team I just got along the new colored lines and love the stations. I noticed there is a noteblock making a sound when you leave a station. I thought it would be nice to also have a sound if someone arrives.
