Just myself. 360OLLIE's town is nearby though. It is a shop, with chestshops and all that stuff, so a railroad would be nice.

Sorry, application denied - the rails take me ages top make and even longer to collect the supplies, I will not be making a rail for just probably one person to use. If you really want the rail to be put in to your base I will put it in for a cost of $10,000.

360OLLIE will have to make an application if he wants his town to be added.

Cool.

And I believe avc's base has 1 resident...

Yes - which is the precise reason why I'm not making a rail there.

Sorry for double post but this is something completely different from the last post.

I have now designed a name and a logo for this rail! The rail will be called the OGWR which stands for old-guest-world-rail.
the logo for in-game signs is below:

-O-------
--G------
---W----
----R----

Afro_Rick the rail tunnel is currently being build going to your town and WoodenSlime yours is next when I've finished the train station for your town. Everyone please please donate any rail (normal or powered), picks, wood, fence (wood), redstone, iron, hoppers, redstone and normal torches, buttons (any type), minecarts or anything that you think will be of use to me. please donate any of these things at /home icooliam. I also need money so if you see me online please give me some money, thanks

nice idea can i help?

near by so I may want to connect it later but I will probably do this myself unless I run out of resources.

Got it. I shall also make up a name. Passengers travel by minecart, correct? If so, do they pay for one, or do they bring their own? And something: Someone could easily use a /home to get there, so there should be something... um... fixing that. Bye now!

And also, may I make a post about all the information/stations, or shall you do that

Just have each station have a boarding and unboarding zone. When boarding, you press a button, a dispenser places a minecart. The user gets in, and presses a button to start the minecart. Then you have the unboarding area. This is simple. Take a hopper, place a rail on top of it. The hopper will need to face to the side. The hopper can't face forward because there will be a sand block there with a cactus on it. As the minecart runs into the cactus in the unloading zone, it will be turned back into an item that can be picked up. This item immediately gets sucked up by the hopper blow the end of the minecart rails. That hopper can then be used with some redstone work to place the minecart in the boarding/departure zone for future use. All minecarts get recycled. The only issue is if people unboard the minecart, and destroy it to take for themselves, or to leave on the tracks as an annoyance.

I will make the post but thanks for the offer, people will not pay for minecarts or bring thier own, it shall work on the basic system Chief149 said about however I will change the design a little.

Also people! Because I'm worried people will teleport away or leave thier minecarts on the track I am making a system where I can see where the minecarts are in a 100 block radius, this will also mean you can see if someones coming up the track towards you! 

I would suggest you use a double minetrack system. A to and from track system. It will take more tracks, but it will fix the potential problem of colliding minecarts. Also, I would space your powered rails out 8 blocks each, or just close enough to keep unloaded minecarts from stopping. That way when another rider gets in range to make the empty minecart active again, it will move with its original velocity, and hopefully stay ahead of the player until it reaches the cactus/unloader.


Suggestion 2, use pistons in the unloading dock. Use a powered rail to detect the player arrival, make a 1.2 second delay with repeaters, and then have a piston push the player out of the loading dock. Use another piston to keep players from getting back into the loading dock, but that also retracts to allow players to be pushed out.

Nice system, chief. Shall we hire someone to check the track every once in a while? I could do that

Hello all. I have been planning for a while to build a railway running through the old guest world, now I have enough resources to do so. The train-line's main station will be built when I am sure of where it is going, at the moment the only station for the train-line is my town. Please could anyone who has a public place in the old guest world (public place meaning any town/village/city, shop, restaurant/cafe farms ect) fill out the form below, thankyou.

Please only submit the form above if you are the owner of the public place. If a form is submitted and accepted the poster of the form will receive $1250 in-game money. The poster will then be asked to show icooliam where the train station can be build and the rail will then be put in, however sometimes the rail may take quite a while to be put in.
