OPTIC Rail Lines
Chief149:
To zone it, each segment of track (which I would keep perfectly straight for admin convenience) would need to have two coordinates selected, and then a command to set it as a protected zone followed by a command to make me the owner/allowed editor of said zone. This would need to be done no more than 8 times as the layout I'd use wouldn't require this to be done too many times.
And of course this can be placed underground if need be, and then the tracks could just be power-railed up to the station at the surface, but that part would be protected by stones. Only the 8 long stretches themselves would be project protected. Honestly it would save a lot of database space, RAM, and CPU cycles to do the project protection as opposed to using protection stones all around, but regardless, I wouldn't expect the stations to be protected. I'd just love to have the large tracks segments protected, and not one block more as I'd handle the rest.

That's still a pain for admins. Pretty sure they hate zoning as it is. And what if someone builds a house above it without knowing? If say, they wanted to mine or make part of their house underground they wouldn't be able to with the zone there.

you don't have to zone a cube.... it can be a polygon..... pretty much they'd just have to fly along the track adding the sections and they could literally zone just the blocks level with the tracks and it wouldn't prevent anyone from building in the nearby areas....
of course you'll never get protection for something like this... aside from it stretching across half the map..... you'd just be constantly adding areas as the rail system expands, and they're not gonna wanna have to rezone it every couple days
much simpler to just use coal ps, least that's how i've been building mine on member world
also a little advice.... it's kinda a huge/expensive undertaking. if you wanna do it all the power to ya, but it isn't easy.
2000 block long track, each coal ps is 11 blocks, 2000/11 = ~181, 181*1500 (per ps) = 271,500 for just the protection and that's only a single track from the border to the spawn. adding 4 tracks for each direction north/south/east/west + intersecting tracks and branches to cities ur looking at 1.5mil+ just in protection. not to mention the time of digging it all out (subway) or just placing tracks and clearing land above ground.
when all is said and done between protection/labor if you hire diggers/and supplies to build the tunnel/tracks you're looking at a good 2-2.5mil+ and to add in some kinda redstone train station you're looking at even more + the effort of figuring out how to build it...
:o it's a lotta work......

is there really noone understanding that this is just a huge waste of materials and money
