Railroad system.
So I think this could be moved to my towns private section once it is created but just to put it out there: I am thinking of building a big railroad from te main city to Droidopolis. My motives? It would make travel from my town to the city much easier on the citizens and as a bonus, would attract people to settle in my town rather than other towns. I would be the one to build the stations in both destinations. Setbacks? Fuel and materials to build he tracks (steel bars) I'm gonna need a lot. What do the mods and admins think of this, do I need approval? I will make an edit with more details when I'm back on my laptop.

Re: Railroad system.
Sounds cool. We already have a subway system, going underground from Kiwitown to Lepritown to Sandtown and the final stop is at TheCreators inn behind Sandtown. Of course we have a railway going the opposite way too. It took insanely long to dig out everything. The part from Lepritown to the inn is 9x3. The tunnel from Lepritown to Kiwitown is a bit smaller, only 5x3+2.
Anyway, the group that took care of that is the KTA, the Kiwike Transit Authority. People donated iron and gold to make it possible. The current subway system isn't all finished yet though (the rails are but I'm still building the station systems), but I look forward to finishing it!

Re: Railroad system.
I think he means Redstone circuitry. I'm not terribly great at it myself. I've rarely had a chance to mess with it. Too much building and exploring going on. Doesn't seem all that hard, though.

Re: Railroad system.
Well if you read some about Minecart Mania, it would be awesome if you could help doing the stations
An another topic, how are you gonna do the way to Droidopolis? Over ground, under ground?

Re: Railroad system.
Ok, I would love to help with the stations. And Droidopolis, I was thinking above ground because it would require less digging, it would be much easier to cross over water rather than flood the tunnel, and because it would be cool looking to have tunnels going through mountains.

Re: Railroad system.
Yeah, the only problem with having it overground is the mobs. That's why I prefer underground. But indeed, it's much more interesting looking at the environment than tunnel walls.
