Minerealm Community Forums

I am going to start up this thread to consolidate information on the Minerealm Subway that is currently being planned/built. The subway is being built along y=30, and is going entirely through wilderness/volunteer realms.

The subway currently has its initial beginning at the town square near spawn, and has begun going north from there.

I have been working on a map, that I will update as I get more information/more time.
Current as of 12/15/2011



The full size picture can be found here:

We are looking for several different things. First, is more destinations. If you are a leader in a city with several active players, you should either post your coordinates or send them to me to be added to the map.

Second, we are looking for volunteer labor. You may not always be able to build the entire distance due to needing build rights, but we can almost always use people to dig up stone.

Third, if you own a realm along a path we are building, it would be helpful for you to allow some of the workers to build in it.

Finally, we are looking for donations of iron/gold to actually construct it.
I will now go more in detail into a few points.

Connecting your realm to the subway

If you want to connect your realm to the subway, you first have to let us know about it so we can add it to the plan. We will probably also probably require you to provide some of the labor and a decently large chunk of the supplies, because donations only go so far. You should be able to finance the subway parts that are built to go to you. You can post here and we can help coordinate what is going on.

If you have questions, either post here, or message lm108 or kingspartacus, who has been managaging the subway construction.

Note: this post is a work in progress, and will be continuously updated.

Any one want to start a rail rail north? I can probably supply. 100 blocks of tracks.

I am willing to do as much digging as possable. Simply show me where to dig and i'll be there.

Also, when is the digging starting or has it started and what coordinates are needed most. i can dig for hours at a time.

Also, do we get to keep ores and such that we find.

I'm not one to know coordinates off the top of my head, so how deep/long is this planned (as in blocks long/deep) and what are the exact coordinates?

How long is bulding/digging going to take? (if your not sure, esimate.)

Any payment of sorts?

Oh and one last thing, are tools given by chance, or is it bring your own, either way i'm in, but i would be able to do more if given tools.

I am willing to dig anywhere at (almost) anytime. Just say the word and point to where i should go! live in Minnesota, so thats

Standard time zone:
UTC/GMT -6 hours
Daylight saving time:
+1 hour
Current time zone offset:
UTC/GMT -5 hours

so if you want me to dig at a spicific time, please list your location so i can plan accordingly and say if i will be avalible.

Celestis is under its own current crisis.

I currently have space prepared for a subway terminal at X=-1975, Z=-2975

With MrArmyAnt's help I've prepared tunnel running along X=-1975 as far Z=-2270. LM108 and I discussed me tunneling as far as Z=+62 to meet with the tunnel coming north from spawn. I will need about 40 more gold to make it to Z=+62, but that shouldn't take long to aquire.

Anyone in the north east that wants to join the subway is welcome to connect through my realm. Please let me know ahead of time so that I can prepare a tunnel to meet you at the edge of my realms.

EDIT - Construction workers only need to bring 1-2 picks and a stack of logs. Tunneling at this height provides slightly more iron that you need to make tools. Additional iron can be obtained for rails as you intersect caves.

I would be glad to help with a road to Frogtown, as my own territory is close to the frog-road. Since a large number of realms in the area are public, and will be wiped soon, I'll start working on it once the new map starts up. Are we still planning on building it at Y = 29-35 as Intelli suggested?

Prodigy, the floor of the subway is at y=30, so yes.

ease can you add Nordics to the sub way when it gets to Nordics pm kingofturves in game for building rights we can donate credits and some track

Could we get a rail to somewhere near the amean dome? Can't remember the coordinates, I'll check later.

I will be happy to help with the subway. I can also donate some iron.
