I thought I should start a post about some of us building a railway system across the server. We could include plans for other major stations, where people want smaller platforms, and plans to route to far away areas. If you’d like help connecting your spot to the railway or have ideas for new stops, feel free to post them here too! There are quite a few of us helping on this project. Some with donating resources, others with map-making knowledge, a few with building the tracks!

Currently, I know some of us are working on a major railway station at spawn that we are calling Spawn Railway Station. We could rename this if people wanted as well as build others. There is track being laid towards the mesa biome (I believe to the south) and some platforms to the north-east of spawn. I know there are plans to lay more track down farther away where others live and it’s been mentioned that we should put a nether portal in the Spawn Railway Station.

Anyways, I just thought to start the conversation here for those who want to help!

My pick, shovel and axe are ready to help gather whatever resources we need o7

Thank you for the beds, @twothumbs220 !! I was thinking of maybe trying to set up the second floor of the Railway Station to have maybe a crafting table and furnace or something to help travelers? I was also talking to @noct and @astrogrimz about where to put a nether portal up there when the Railway Station is done. Not sure the best area to put it.

I’m also down to help build railway! I know @aspaghettiman mentioned the railroad tracks to the mesa biome are finished one way. I could maybe start helping on the way back or maybe help build the lighting or something. Willing to help wherever is need too!!

If you want my suggestion, I would say area beautification, design and place lighting and other props that may be found along the side of the track.
Ideally, we would try to keep mobs from spawning near the tracks, mobs spawn in lighting 7 or lower.

The train-stop at the mesa is yet to be built.

I haven’t started the railway to purr’s that is next on the main railway list.

we have plenty of iron and wood, we have a decent amount of gravel. stone we are a little low on but that’s ok it’s the most common resource in the game. Don’t need to focus too much on gathering.

[1 AstroAnie @astroanie Keymaster Beginner]

Okay! I can totally focus on area beautification and lighting placement for the tracks you have started. I made a lot of progress on the actually Spawn Railway Station, so that is almost done and afterwards I’ll totally focus on that.

I wanted to ask about the train-stop at the mesa biome. The signs say the next stop is the “Island Mob Spawner”. Is that incorrect? LOL I can update the signs if so.

This is such a big project, but super cool. I hope to have more time to help next month!

I had originally planned on making a stop at the Island Mob Spawner, and I can still do that, however, it is quite close to spawn so I decided to pass. It wouldn’t take long to add a station there.

[1 AstroAnie @astroanie Keymaster Beginner]

Oh, that’s fine then! I’m not sure where the Island Mob Spawner is. I can just change the signs on the Railway Station! That would be easier!

[1 AstroGrimz @astrogrimz Participant Beginner]

I did a bit of work around mine, Purr’s, and Will’s stop but I still need to go around and add some lighting! I also built a water elevator going up to my house so that anyone that stops by via train, don’t need to climb the big hill next to the train stop.
