    The Rapture Railway Initiative [RRI]

    The Rapture Railway Initiative [RRI]


    Current Status: Prototype stations are being trialled.

    What is it?: Do you hate not being able to find your way around the vast Rapture landscape? Do you wander aimlessly, hoping in vain to find a town or city to join? Do you simply wish that you could easily find the wonders of Rapture without having to walk for miles on end?

    ... Your day has come! Gather ye all who have blisters on their feet from walking across vast deserts and climbing massive mountains! The railway will free you from your burdens! This massive overground and underground railway will stretch across the map, linking up people's homes and cities so you'll never have to wander aimlessly again!


    How can I help?: I'm going to need heaps of help here, people. Donations of rails, builders, designs, money... It would be awesome if we could get a massive group working on this together :)

    Anything else?: Post your opinions and discuss the RRI below- the more information we have on this kind of venture, the better.

    Sounds awesome to me. I think what would also be nice is a massive terminal subway station type thing near spawn to link all the railways to.

    There's only one problem... apparently this kind of thing causes massive lag. Is this true?

    THIS IS A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT, BOOSTERS MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE SERVER LAG
    PLEASE DESTROY ANY BOOSTERS YOU HAVE MADE, I WILL INSTALL A PLUGIN THAT DOES THAT WITH LESS LAG AND MORE
    I REPEAT KILL ALL GLITCH BOOSTERS ITS WHY THE SERVER IS LAGGING

    I'd love to donate and help in any way I can.

    I have an amazing mountain next to my manor that would be great to put on the rail tour.

    The only problem I have is the rails bringing greifers to the nicer homes. Could we possibly get any protection?

    I'm aware that this may be a problem :/

    I'm waiting to see if Quee can add MinecartMania before continuing. While we wait: anyone have any ideas about what the railway stations should looks like?

    even better, simply make canals, it is a more efficient way of travelling the world. You don't need tonnes of resources and rivers look nicer than tracks, also you can control the boat and disembark where you like. All that needs to be done is to dig a trench then fill it with water. I am working on a canal that goes from the non donor land to my empire very soon.
