Rail Line 6 Plan
By: Bla Date: October 12, 2013, 6:54 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
So a new rail line plan is:
Spawntown Central Station
Horse Island
Kaktice Outpost
Kaktoquake Cliff
Aahrus
Capital
and from here it branches off to
Mauritius station 1 (360 , 50 , -660) along z axis
Mauritius station 2 (280 , 50 , -740) along z axis
Timbalta (200 , 50 , -1100) along z axis
Total distance roughly estimated to 1620 meters, which would be
162 boosters and 3078 rails, which would cost 1158 iron and 162
gold.
I'll probably make an UBSR poll for this, but feel free to
discuss the line now.

And next time I can get on the server, I'll post this poll, so
you can sneak up on the voting center and post your vote if you
want on the first voting floor already.

Wikia seems extremely slow atm, but the page says:
This poll was posted by Blanoxium. It closed on October 17, 2013

"Should the UBSR collective storages equally (in %) provide 1158
iron and 162 gold for the 1620 meters plan of rail line 6 from
Spawntown to Timbalta?"

Just putting this out there that this is essentially a waste of
resources. Tuto said he would be ok with just modifying the rail
that runs Aahrus-Desertopia
HTML http://blacraft.wikia.com/wiki/Blacraft/Kaktoland/Spawntown/Blacraft_Voting_Center/201211092245<br
/>so that he has a station on it. This rail ends 5 blocks from
Rail Route 5 and transferring is absolutely no problem. The
route he would take is nearly the exact same as previous
infrastructure, with only the addition of a station in Timbalta
and another one in Mauritius.

As far as the claim that we will need it to expand to any future
members in that area is also false. Because of Welptopia and
Vatallus, there is no one but kipz for a good thousand blocks
north or east of him. Rail Route 5 is much much closer to
unclaimed territory.
Not saying we shouldn't do this, but there is a much cheaper
alternative that is basically the same. This is though, the most
expensive rail related poll in the Blacraft Voting Centre so we
need some criticism.

I see - I have no idea where your GLRs run, only where the
tunnels run, so that would've been useful to know when we walked
around in the area and planned the rails a few days ago. Anyway
looking at that I can easily agree that it is a waste of
resources.
Anyway, an alternative could be this. We could let it go through
the ocean instead of through Capital and still have a station in
western Mauritius, or it could follow Azecliff's coast and go
below the island there. That [cyan] would shorten the route 420
meters.

We could also consider replacing the GLR with an actual tunnel,
from Desertopia through Timbalta to Capital, because the route
itself fits very well into the web plan.

I think letting the line go through for example Welptopia and
Vatallus in the future could be a good idea, there are also
interesting places worth connecting.

In the end I think the best would be if we expanded the tunnels
to connect all of Blacraft according to the web plan. Local
elevated rails or GLR are ok, but I think the rail system would
be best if it were kept as simple and consistent as possible and
not make too many different systems. The Nether is by far the
cheapest alternative, so if we just wanted fast and cheap
transport we could just set up a portal in Timbalta and make a
road or rail from there to Capital and Spawntown.
I guess I'll cancel the poll on the current plan later today
then. I'd wish this had been posted before I had made the poll.

The poll closes in about 27 hours, and currently I and smjjames
have votes for, while none have voted against. I'll close it
now.
Please provide feedback on the alternative proposal I made above
so the situation doesn't repeat.
