B.L.U.R.S. -- BLUebaron's Rail System
BLURS is now bidirectional! Hooray!
BLURS is an attempt to create a reliable mode of transportation throughout the entire Creative server.
Goals of BLURS:
BLURS is relatively close to spawn, which although makes it a bit more likely to get griefed, is necessary. Going really far to get to a rail station to take you really far is a bit counterproductive.
First, look for this Reckless Tortuga display, slightly south from spawn.
Go behind it. You will spot a small hole where one may enter a cave.
Once you enter the cave, it will split. Do not light up any part of the cave. Take a right. Go all the way down that curvy tunnel until you see a dark, perfectly square corridor. When you enter the corridor, the redstone torches will alight in order all the way down the hall, until they open the door. It's a rather neat effect, if I do say so myself. You are now in BLURS central.
WHAT TO DO ONCE ONE IS INSIDE BLURS
BLURS is not at all similar to a token-ring network, if we were to compare it to something. There are four roads that diverge from the hub, and each of these go in a cardinal direction.
So, go into the door that will go in the direction of your desired stop. Put the cart on the track and press the button.
If you couldn't figure out how to do that without this guide, you are unbelievably dense.
WHAT A TYPICAL STOP LOOKS LIKE
This isn't honestly that hard to figure out, just read the signs.
HOW ONE EXTENDS THIS TO THEIR ATTRACTION
One does not. At least, not without supervision from me. I don't want these tunnels going all over the place or looking all ugly with inconsistencies riddled about. If you want to help, or you want your whatever-it-is to have a stop, PM me and I'll decide whether it's stopworthy, and if so, I will install it myself for you. Some of the reasons I can't let people make their own stops is a.) I want to use buttons, and for some reason when you have a button directly power a powered rail, the cart doesn't move and b.) You would stop so much it would be slower than walking there.

BLURS is an attempt to create a reliable mode of transportation throughout the entire Creative server.
Goals of BLURS:
- Instantiate simple transportation through a wide area
- Have a consistent look for the railway so it doesn't look like patchwork
- Have a railway with nice features that everyone can utilise
- Provide a way of easily getting from spawn to places like, oh, say... BaronLand? :roll:
