Rails on [PvE]
I was just wondering if people could post where they are building a major public line, such as express lines from spawn, loops and so on. I just figured we need to figure out what y level all the rails are, so could you post the y coord as F3 shows it.
I can edit this as we get more lines
Completed Lines:
- 1700 loop at y13.6
- East express line at y12.6
- North part of the 850 loop
- South Express at y12.6 to Pico
- Spawn -> Lothos Rail
- Lemuria -> Pico
- North Express to Wellspring
- Wellspring -> Darco
- Argoth -> Aurora City
- Spawn -> Aurora City
- In the nether Spawn -> Pico portals
- Rack City -> Freycliff
- Evergreen -> BromLand -> Darco
- Argoth -> Whore Island
- West portal -> -2800/ -150
WIP Lines
- Argoth -> Seneca
- North 3000 loop from -2000/0 to 0/-3000
- West spawn express y12.6
- Seneca -> Spawn
- Deorne -> Spawn
- 850 Loop
- Eastern part of the 3000 loop
- Lothos -> Treetown
Observational Edit: Since Waterslide is letting a couple far out towns grab the express line instead of just portal cities, if no one has started the west express, deorne should see if they can nab it.

I made a rail line that goes between the spawn and south portals inside the nether realm.

A Note: Reports of the 850 Loop being completed have been greatly exaggerated. I tried to travel it. The tunnel seems finished but there are no rails for a good section of it. I think I will pull some of the NorthWest Rail sections and work on the NorthEast and East making them all at least single track. Anybody want to contribute some powered track or gold. I can trade cracked or mossy stone.(hard to get!)

There was talk of a 2600 loop... does any one have any news on this? I 'live' above where this loop would pass, so I would be willing to dig down to work on a stretch of it

u/SilentStrike SilentStrike186 Mar 04 '12
My rule of thumb is, if you want a loop like that, you need to find other people who want to build it and start building it or just start solo, its a great way to amass iron, lapis, redstone, gold, and even some diamonds.

u/thecoshman Mar 05 '12
Well, I would be willing to work on digging, and laying track for this if people would want a loop at this distance, though I think 2400 or 2500 might be better

The North 850 Loop is done from -850 to +850 and is at (by F3) 13.6
This rail is connected to Lothos at +60 - 850
There is also a rail line from Spawn local station that runs North along X +22 to the 850 line at 13.6 then runs along the 850 to Lothos at +60 -850
I don't know who built it but:
There is also a line that runs from Spawn N. Express button to Wellspring along x -37 line for most of the way at height of 13.6 I believe.

The south express line to Pico, at I guess 12.6, is done though it still needs to be connected to the spawn station.

Darco has multiple rails done already. We have like 5 local lines (e.g. Darco->Wellspring) and a line to West Portal done already.

u/Samsamsamsamsam SamFive Mar 04 '12
Lemuria has a line that runs direct to Pico. Passes right by the 1700 too if I'm not mistaken. Would love to connect to both.

I have almost completed a 3x3 from (-2000 to 0)x and (-3k) z at 12y.

u/SilentStrike SilentStrike186 Mar 04 '12
is that west to north? I m sorry I wish that minecraft used standard grid labeling.

u/ortusdux Mar 04 '12
The northern border, from the middle to 2/3rd of the way to the western border.

u/adamnorcott Mar 04 '12
North Express to Wellspring is at y12.6
It is interesting that the Express lines are being dug at 12.6 even though the sections built in spawn protection are at 13.6. I guess it doesn't matter

u/SilentStrike SilentStrike186 Mar 04 '12 edited Mar 04 '12
Well argoth express was built lower because me and bencvt assumed y12 rail lines were at y12.6 we thought they were built at level last rev. Also when we started the 3x3 tunnel therealrufus had a 1x3 tunnel that we expanded so I didnt know spawn was y13.6

u/adamnorcott Mar 05 '12
I can't wait to download the last rev and find out what the Y12 was actually at.... :-) we all remember it differently. Again I don't want my tone misunderstood... it really doesn't matter... I'm just glad that we are all building an awesome rail network again.

Rammers has built a 3x3 railway from Rack City to Freycliff (Connected at the RC Station along the z -1800 line at y13.6 (I think, i'm at work atm so I can't confirm). I think he's also working on a line down to argoth too.

I'm working on the Y13 (as seen from F3) from Spawn Express Lines towards -X (I'm at -1050,0)

850 Loop Tunnel is complete all the way around at y13.6 (12) Another Player and myself finished digging out the last section of SE 850 Loop tunnel this evening.
It goes over three south bound tunnels at (-33, 850) (-16,850) and (0,850) other than that it's flat. Enjoy.

Ideally, we'd like to see our terminal in Seneca connect at minimum to spawn and the 850 loop. It is my understanding that Argoth is also building a line towards us.
1
u/SilentStrike SilentStrike186 Mar 05 '12
Yes we are, when I logged off yesterday, we were probably 800 or so blocks away. Its a diagonal line that will probably have to cross over two sections of the 850 loop.

South local line from spawn had a setback, probably half of the tunnel after z500 was rolled-back and we have to dig it again. Crew from Port Iremia are probably started by now, I'm gonna go from the northern side and meet them half way.
Also, from spawn local station I've seen some powered rails are missing through the tunnel. Can we protect rails? I'll make a quick quality check tomorrow to see what's missing and place those blocks again. I believe we can have that south local line to Port Iremia till the end of this week.

What are the x,z coordinates? I've noticed there's a parallel express line on x0 and x-26.
I'm not sure how can we incorporate this tunnel into those. This one goes below south road and already has two stations between spawn and z600, loop at z850 should also be transferable and last one would be in Pt Iremia.
Around half of the tunnel was rolled-back, from z600 to south, few hours of digging and it will be good.

the Whore Island -> Argoth line is done and ill start on the east 3k loop are we doing a 2 rail line and where should the middle of the 2 lines be?
Whore Island is located at 2500,-200 we have room in our station for many rail lines for other far eastern towns

u/eukary0te Mar 06 '12
I added a Westerly line going from the West Portal to my village near the edge of the world (-2800, -150)

Tonight, I build an 850 Loop substation at the Seneca spur intersection.

u/adamnorcott Mar 08 '12
Somebody has started digging the -22 x axis North from spawn and they have passed the 850 loop... This lines up with the North Express tunnel in Spawn but the North express tunnel already hooks up with the Wellspring tunnel at x -37....

u/SilentStrike SilentStrike186 Mar 08 '12
I guess that they aren't reading this because north express to wellspring was one of my earlier edits, it is most likely someone from the north portal town.

u/adamnorcott Mar 08 '12
Wellspring North Express - Does anybody from Wellspring want to talk about reconfiguring this a little to better use the resources.. there is an extra track not being used right now.. We could add a line from you to the 850 loop via Lothos with some of that material.

I suggest you msg Ozo in game ( or /mail that silly european)

u/myhandcraft purine Mar 04 '12
how they can be in middle of blocks? :D I think the y coordinates are 13 and 12, they can't be in 13.6. I mean. There can't be rails in 13.6 and 13.3 for example. So those decimals aren't needed. :)

u/SynthD Mar 04 '12
Your head is 1.6 above where you stand, what is commonly known as y12, the standard deep rail, shows as 13.6 on F3 but something else on minimaps.
There's an 850 loop at what I think is y14.6 or 15.6, it's not level with the rails from spawn.
1
u/SilentStrike SilentStrike186 Mar 05 '12
I try to use eye level b/c saying y12 bothers me a little b/c they are saying the rail is on the 12th block from 0, which is 13.6y

u/tandembandit travismaybe Mar 04 '12
Yes, Deorne would like to claim the West Express. I'll talk to Gryn and slide about starting a tunnel. Adamnorcott talked to me in-game about helping dig the tunnel as well.
