[EAST SUBWAY] Planning and reconstruction - updated to x1525

PURPOSE:

If you live along the East subway line, you'll probably know by now that it's completely unusable due to the wipe removing large sections of the tunnel. This thread is for land owners along the East subway line to coordinate reconstruction of the line.

Please post any help / information about the subway that you can give below, and I will add it to this first post.

If you need rails, please talk to alexribicki in game ... he has access to the subway storage (donated rails etc). Make sure you work out how many stacks of each you need before asking him for supplies, so he's not constantly running back and forth for them =)

Action: Lay rail ... I believe gallinka is doing this section ... thanks and ask alexrybicki for rail supplies =)


SECTION 11 - UNKNOWN [PCGAMER'S PLOT AND BEYOND]
PC ... you own 1575/25 which is next in line ... would be great if we could continue the subway straight through here =)



CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES:

In all cases, the lines (outgoing and return) shall be located as follows:

OUTGOING FROM SPAWN: South side
RETURN TO SPAWN: North side

If you don't understand what I mean by that, just travel along the subway until you reach Alexrybicki's realms and can see the inwards and outwards lines side by side.

Powered rails should be placed no more than 37 blocks apart (ie 1 powered rail, then 37 normal rails, then 1 powered rail) on level terrain, or 1 block apart on upwards slopes. This keeps the minecart speed at it's optimal 8 blocks/second. Powered rails are not required on downslopes. Booster rails after stops should be three powered rails adjacent to each other to get the minecart up to full speed as quickly as possible.

Lighting should be placed such that the entire track and tunnel is at light level 8 or above to prevent mob spawns.

Please avoid complicated redstone switching mechanisms and line changes. They are often difficult to understand and cause confusion. A normal raised or sunken platform stop with a separate line leading off to the side is easier to build and easier to understand (see pics in spoiler). Please use wooden buttons at stops, not stone, as they give a longer redstone signal than stone buttons and start the cart off much more quickly.

I am pretty sure I own a realm or two in that direction. Not quite z=25, but maybe. I will dig out from x=1500 to x=850 (barring the need for perms) tonight.

Offering my services for this.
Currently developing a quad spider around the 1400/-100 mark and would like to have this added as a station. While also offering perms to any railworkers wishing to repair their tools.
I am also willing to donate a 50/50 split, between the West and East rail, any gold in my farm for use in powered rails etc.
Just point me in the direction and I'll quite happily start digging.

Also do any ores found in public sections need to be forwarded to anything in particular?

Awesome Bu1ld0g ... that'd be great. I'll probably run the tunnels through my realms tonight, and redkiller will give me perms through his also to extend them to the border of BeachTown. The tunnels will then be complete out to the edge of 825/75.

A station for your quad spidey at 1400/-100 would be brilliant ... we'll need to establish whether there is any tunnel remaining out there, or whether it has all been wiped. Perhaps try running the surface directly east from 800/75 (the midline of the current tunnel end) and see what's out there, especially if there are any subway stations left that we need to link to.

With respect to ores, if you dig it up in a public realm, it's yours. Same as if you choose to mine in public realms instead of your own.

Cool beans man.
Afaik its all public around there but will have to do a walkthrough uptop to verify.
Also if there are any players out there that are good with spiders that would help. Spiders are not my favorite spawner

Outgoing subway through my jungle realms (425/25 and 475/25) is complete ... now to do the inbound tunnel, and then another three realms or so to connect to Bezzay's BeachTown subway section :)

I applaud you, good sir. Best looking subway I've ever seen. it's not just a 3x3 tunnel that has no wall coverings, you actually made it beautiful. :P
I may ride the subway a couple times just to see that part. :3
