Underground Railway ?

[edwin Profile]

Would any one be interested in building a underground railway that connects all the towns that want to be connected?

MODS: do you think this is a good idea? are rails allowed?

Thanks to rjlan, he has connected roads to all towns. Also, on 1.7, horses are much faster than a minecart. It's ok to build railways, but I think roads are better.

diego's right basically rails are more for personal use not going from one town to another like the last map used them for.

In 1.8, they will be more useful as you can boost the speed of the mine carts using powered rails. Right now (1.7), however, they aren't very useful. :/

Also, I hate rails sooooo...

I like rails, because while im on one, i can afk and watch a video, and then when i come back, im there!

Sure is easier to build a road then dig out tunnels and craft all that rail...

Easier is a relative term. Speaking from experience, it can sometimes feel like you're digging a rail tunnel, depending on where your road is running.

You missed the key point: He's wanting to AFK while traveling without getting kicked...

:starts having ideas to NERF this... Maybe build an underground station that all carts have to stop at along the way and allow mob-spawning...:

There is a rail station at spawn, I've set up a line going to Chadville and a line heading east. It'd be nice if we had additional destinations north and south before opening it up.

Also, each city has an area set aside for a rail station, the intent was to eventually link up all the cities.

Anybody is welcome to work on that project.
