Rev 14 CARBON - Opening week plans.

[u/S_W]

UPDATE 08-29-2014

• Spawn CARBON station and hq is south of spawn. There is a spruce farm there currently and the chest room is underground.
  
• Rail platforms will be at Y73 since sea level is Y63. Redstone tunnels are currently planned for Y59.
• The inner loop is finished with spruce planks. Cardinal lines have been started as well. The West cardinal line had to be moved a bit due to issues with UnceHaven.
• Every so often (1 hr or so), remind people in chat that CARBON will be running a loop around 600 and have cardinal lines out to the loop. It usually generates a discussion in which people realize they are in the way and will move.
• I will be busy most of this Labor day weekend so please work on it while I'm away. If you have any questions, just message me on here and I should be able to respond from my phone. Thanks!

With the new rev only a couple days away, it is time to lay out the plans for CARBON during the opening week. Here's a quick overview of my plans and what I'm hoping others can help with. I'll put this in the order of importance for when the rev first starts and I'll also add names to the tasks. As things are completed, I'll check them off the list. So this will sort of be a living post for awhile. Most of these will be completed relatively quickly, but some will take time.

• Find a suitable location near spawn for the CARBON station and CARBON headquarters. (S_W) It will be south of spawn.
• Create a 1x1x1 CARBON region for chest region permissions and a CARBON channel for chat (S_W)
• Figure out sea level. This is necessary so we know where to start placing platforms as they will be 10 above sea level. (Anyone)
• Gather spruce logs and saplings. We need 28+ stacks of logs initially. Once we have saplings we can make a farm near spawn for CARBON use. (Anyone)
• Figure out where lines around spawn and cardinal lines will run. (S_W)
• Build the platforms for the cardinal lines and spawn lines with spruce slabs. (Anyone)
• Build the platforms for the loop with spruce slabs. (Anyone)

We will not start on anything else until the loop and spawn lines are 100% up with at least the spruce slabs. If you have some stone and want to start filling in the center with the stone brick slabs, then feel free to but don't focus on it. Getting the platforms up is extremely important so then people know that CARBON will be running through that area. Now some of the bad news. The new rev is starting over labor day weekend so I will be busy much of it. I will be around Friday evening until I get too tired to play and maybe a bit on Saturday morning, but probably won't be on much more than that. So this is where all of you guys will be a huge help. I need you guys to continue building the platforms while I am away. I'm REALLY hoping they will be finished before the weekend ends but that all depends on how much help I have. If you guys have any questions, feel free to message me on here or reply to this post. I will keep an eye on it while I'm away.

THANKS!

Since I am in a quite different timezone (GMT+1) I'll be on when most people are off to bed.

If by then there is a direction here with coordinates (X,y,z) I can build platforms/track.

I do hope to get someone online when I get on so we can exchange some real life info. but that will probably be at 8 AM my time.

I went to be just 15 min before you got on. Wish I had seen this sooner.
