I fully support another subway system. Oh how I miss the old one.

If their was an old one than there will probably be a new one. This is intelli's idea too, so he'll probably go through with it.

I would love to help out, are donations needed/accepted?

[smithsps]

I like the idea, all I ask for it is that it is all coherent, not different designs all thrown together.

[PandemoniumPear]

I support this idea, and am willing to contribute in whatever way I can.

I strongly support this idea, and have been loosely planning (and saving up for) something like this for a while now.

For destinations, I would recommend that it connect to larger towns. If we build a tunnel to every 1 person realm, that would be much harder. However, if any town with, for example, at least 5 users is able to connect, that will work better.

Additionally, if there is some area with lots of little places but no large towns for a very large distance, i could see installing a hub station somewhere in that area.

For funding it, I would recommend that the town/towns that are being connected to the line being run are the ones who pay a large percentage of the required iron/gold, and possibly some of the labor. Making a many thousand block long subway is expensive, so if you want it to connect to your town, you should chip in to it.

If we do this, I will probably make a thread somewhere for towns to apply for a connection to the subway, and so we can plan out its destinations, and routes for optimum efficiency.

If this would be able to be built under realms including private ones Wouldn't this break through some of peoples Storage. (Mainly the Foxtops storage unit for the store), and if that will happen I propose that the owners of the realms that are having part of the railway system under them have a sort of a rules for where to put exactly under them in order to NOT interfere with such things that shouldn't be accessed by others.

Thank you

On my previous post I had a few concerns but forgot to mention that I truly love the idea and will contribute what i can to these hard but great idea.

Why would you store your stuff that deep, especially if it's a private realm?

I like this idea, but I don't believe it should employ players with special building rights. Thieves and opportunists are already a meaningful problem on this server. Most of the experienced ones know how to not leave a trace. If one of these players gains special build rights then all hell will break loose.

Before anyone uses the "put a block on your chest" arguement, please consider that the thieves just put the block back and let you destroy the evidence.

Another issue I forsee is builders gaining access to existing mining tunnels and underground structures. This could lead to unintentional (or intentional) griefing, blockage of travel routes, looting of slime farms, etc, etc, etc.

A possible solution is to give realm owners the ability to "/enable" railway builder privleges, and/or further limiting the area that a rail system may travel through. The "/enable" option reduces griefing risks in a brute-force but easily coded manner. Limiting the area privledged builders can use to a footprint within the height range would increase conformity while allowing realm owners secure access below those heights.

A workable foorprint might be Y:29-35, X/Z:**00-**04 and **50-**54. That needs some refinement, but I hope you get the idea.

An additional rule requiring powered rails at realm borders might be helpful.

Either way, special attention should be paid to anyone exploiting the rail system for griefing, theft or involuntary pvp. Such a person is clearly demonstrating a disregard for well-being of the community.
