Who is planning to make a town and where?

[sweet maple]

For @burnt sparrow to have an easier time planning the connections it would help if there's more info about this. I will refresh the list when new info is available.

Hanging Gardens will be in Siggy Drain around X: 179500 Y: -100 Z: 100
Ciguoe right bellow us in another transition layer in 195823 221 157
New Soul: 212408 -82 1391
Marble Helios: Quartz Caves
Quartz Group: Secret

Other Interest Spots I know so far:
Soul Ruins: 130986 -138 699

just nearby and outside of it"```
**Nanachi Home/Cave:** 130688 -106 -425

[lone lantern]

I rather have no rails in the ruins

just nearby and outside of the ruins

[mystic scroll]

right now marble's archive is planned to be in the quartz caves, around 215151 -100 2095

[lone lantern]

currently the spots for "New Soul" is hanafuda fields or that area i mentioned before

[acoustic spoke]

It might be important to make extra stations on L5 on specific heights of large plains to make pretty junction connections without in future

for example the middle segment of L5:

Not sure about Idofront area but it's water level is Y=92 for now

Higher water plateau above idofront is Y=204, but no any islands and it's right under ceiling so it's not important i think

[acoustic spoke]

Another large water plateau in mid segment of L5 is Y=-208
Best place to build on-water creations tbh

On upper segment of L5, this plateau is Y=-104 as well as many other flat terrains

On upper segment of L5, this large ocean is Y=190...
but it's mostly empty

On upper segment of L5, /warp l5_Edelweiss aka curent Lambstag is about Y=77 on it's cliff coutur

On upper segment of L5, the water level round /warp l5_Edina_ruins is Y=4

[lone lantern]

I think some places does not need rails

You just need to exploring on foot

[acoustic spoke]

I am not saying rails are necessary here, I saying when doing vertical rail descends, it makes sense to prebuild platforms on those y-levels to be able to join another paths in future, because it's very likely ppl are going to build something on that levels a lot

Basically that's all for L5. On L4 there is lots of balconies but it all on various heights, no strict flat levels

[acoustic spoke]

I mean if rail going to pass down in pure 45degs trough those levels, connecting horizontal roads either by foot or by rails, just making stop station will be painful. 😅

[burnt sparrow]

Thank you for the suggestions. It was actually something I was thinking of doing in some way. But it's great to see it talked about in more detail.

[urban kiln]

Should probably say we will most likely disable rails for first month or so of reset, not decided set time but we've been planning it for a long while.
It's not to prevent you guys from making major rails in the lower layers next reset. I'm just keen to try and let people settle so that the rails flow better.

Pre-reset rails vs the current rails is quite a difference, and in my opinion it doesn't help build a sense or exploration or community like the pre-reset rails did as they went directly from place to place.

Hence we are giving people on the whole to settle before rails appear, and it also makes the fun a bit harder and more interesting i think.

Im aware i haven't formally announced it but id rather not let you guys get too far ahead planning without saying anything

@sweet maple @burnt sparrow

[lone lantern]

I guess we run on foot first

[sweet maple]

makes sense tho

thanks for the info

[urban kiln]

Yeah sorry i dont wanna put you guys off, and im glad you are planning it rather than winging it just defo think this will help everyone

I don't know how many of you involved played pre-reset, but im sure Sosu and Kay know that the rails last reset just helped a lot more with getting around efficiently but also just having more sense of community

You did quite literally travel town to town

[burnt sparrow]

we can still dig tunnels right?

[urban kiln]

I'd prefer if you guys didnt and wait till we allow it

we are temporarily banning rails so you guys dont plan it too much

[burnt sparrow]

ok?

i mean dig tunnels without rails

[urban kiln]

Im aware what you meant

That kinda defies the point of banning rails though

[burnt sparrow]

?

oh got it

so we can still plan the lines but just without the rails installed right?

[urban kiln]

Just enjoy reset, rails dont need to be there day one. Focus on your own projects and enjoy exploring the abyss without travelling through tunnels lmao.
All us old pre-reset players know that walking around and taking the old paths was much more fun and exciting than just sitting on the rails.. as efficient as they might be

you dont need them day one

[burnt sparrow]

...

[urban kiln]

"..." doesnt meant a whole lot to me Sosu

[burnt sparrow]

i'll be digging the tunnels by day 2. 🙂

[urban kiln]

Sad imo

[sweet maple]

XD

[urban kiln]

And... you will create inefficient rails, again.

[burnt sparrow]

I will change the rail system to be more like the pre reset

[urban kiln]

I hope so, it was certainly better for the community

[burnt sparrow]

thats why I need to know where everyone wants to be as well as the new locations

[urban kiln]

And... thats why i am giving everyone a month to settle, then you will know regardless... And not need to dig on Day 2 🙂

Just enjoy it, idk why you are all in such a rush. You all complain about having nothing to do... the rails make that worse

[sweet maple]

no, its totally fine. Interacting with the community and telling this is cool in my book.
Well.. yeah we were planning stuff already, but resource gathering for rails and planning all the stops wont stop luckly

[urban kiln]

You have at least a month, so i would hope you don't rush whatever plans you have

If you do follow a similar circular pattern to pre-reset it will also mean most players should be easily able to join themselves onto it

But town to town is always best, but then again you never know what towns will appear unless you wait till after Day 2

I mean no ill-intent towards your plan, as i said i am glad you guys are planning it. Just hope you don't get too far ahead with it too quickly

[sweet maple]

Yeye.. kinda drained my braincells building for next reset, but I understand the intent.
For Hanging Gardens I think one or two connections would have been more important.. cuz in Siggy there is no goblets already to farm darkwood.. O_O
I guess we will look for other methods until then.

will rails be the only thing limited?

[urban kiln]

Afaik they are the only thing, but things are subject to change still. But it's the only thing i can see being limited.

[burnt sparrow]

sooooo, ice paths?

oh dam

i havn't seen ice paths in a while

[sweet maple]

XD

[burnt sparrow]

might bring that back into the mix

apply it to straights and bridges

[sweet maple]

I feel like you will lose some braincells too if you try to connect everything with icepaths first

[urban kiln]

Just remember that reset is a very special time, this hasn't happened in over 2 years. So many people complain that they have nothing to do.. yet the second reset comes around they want do everything as quick as possible. So my opinion is to enjoy it because it doesn't happen often and it's a fresh start to enjoy before it feels "repetitive"

[urban kiln]

With the rate you're going ill be keeping an eye on you and probably banning those too... and it will be your own doing

[sweet maple]

Sosu

psstttt

[urban kiln]

im not bothered about minor ones i just know what Sosu is like

[sweet maple]

you are making it worser XXD

[burnt sparrow]

just gonna say that based on the time it took me to complete the rail for this set i think it'll take maybeeeee... 3-6 months to complete the line

[urban kiln]

Ahhhh and another month for the time you'll be enjoy mmm soaking up the fresh new map

[burnt sparrow]

already did that, no need

mapped it out and everything

[urban kiln]

Enjoy it cause im sure you'll all be bitching at me again soon enough

[sweet maple]

yeeah, looks really cool

[urban kiln]

Good

[burnt sparrow]

it is verrrry pretty

i like

petels is my fav

[sweet maple]

(even prettier with decaying leaves) o.o

but will sleep now.. thanks for the info Madi XD

[acoustic spoke]

I pretty sure most of us didn't implied to build rails on the first day right after reset 😅

I am ok with this solution

[burnt sparrow]

I was joking about the ice paths for the most part

the most ill do in a month is probably dig the tunnels and set the paths

[lone lantern]

sosu rail time

[lone lantern]

KoiKoi is pretty too

too bad i came too late

[keen cairn]

may I petition we try and keep some areas of the map wild?

itll only work for so long, but if we just dont build roads and rails to sections the amount of people there will be much less

[lone lantern]

yes

like some ruins of certain cities

Edina and Soul

[lone lantern]

lmao @austere elk

[austere elk]

I've placed it there like a year ago lol

[lone lantern]

yea I seen

[flint frost]

C: it will be fun to see how these major cities look later on, hopefully I will be more active to witness them.

[burnt sparrow]

where is this:)

[acoustic spoke]

at koi koi

[eternal zinc]

Imagine we don't have a rail system on this reset. We all just traveled by foot.

Or we just have one hidden and it's shared by word of mouth.

[burnt sparrow]

That would be painful

[modest plaza]

It is

[eternal zinc]

@burnt sparrow painfully enjoyable

[slate shale]

@outer drift

[outer drift]

I see

[lone lantern]

well after 1 month, it will be back as normal

[solid needle]

Rare moment of Wizzer not getting angry for being pinged

[flint frost]

True

[shy juniper]

maybe around the ido front

[low siren]

abyss gang is planning on making a base at eternal flower fields

[normal axle]

Im planning to make Hobbiton in nana cave so if anyone wants to come join us feel free!

[low siren]

it will be in the cave that connects to the fields to preserve the fields and let the people there build a blaze reap

[low siren]

guild leader changed mind will update later

[prisma wave]

i am planning on making a city "Sangju" on layer 4 at around 163767, -223, -350. that is, if people dont beat me and my guild to building there.

[burnt sparrow]

I'll look into it

[tepid linden]

Sosu and sosu

[acoustic spoke]

In case of somebody already digging tunnels for railways (I already seen some platform placeholders), I planning to make railways there at Y=197, right above sea of corpses borderline in the ceiling, but it might not be exactly straight. It potentially can connect south and east lines, so please 🙏 leave space for platforms on Y=127 if you want to connect.

[burnt sparrow]

Pls leave the rails to me and let me know what you want to connect

I'm already doing the south

I might be able to connect a future stop to it

[acoustic spoke]

I am want to connect my and friend's base with whatever railway it will be.
Update: @fast wind already dug tunnel to the north, where some ppl @graceful pine(?) founded a place "Ozen Town" (?) near L4 sea ||not sure||

[burnt sparrow]

There is a good chance that the east rail will pass nearby you and your friend's base

If you need a connection between the south and east rails then there will probably be one at the top of the section

[graceful pine]

Ozen Town is our base

We also need to build railways, and if you allow, we can help you

The owner of our guild is @shy juniper, you can contact him

[burnt sparrow]

Ozen is already in contact with me and helps me design the rails

[shy juniper]

hihi

[torpid hound]

hiiii is this being used?

we are making Lost Delver's Landing on the top of l5

top of l5 , bottom of l4 transition:
196630, 78, -1250 ish

[acoustic spoke]

For information:
me and @fast wind dug a direct route from top of L4 East down to L5 borderline South-East.
Tunnel is 3x3.
One-way railway with no stations (direct) planned.
Only perfect flat halls and 45deg slopes.
You feel free to use it right now (by foot) and in future.
Currently it's connected to one of L3 caves and doesn't yet have direct connection with abyss/L3hole.
You can connect your tunnels but don't alter main path (and don't alter railway in future).
Scheme of tunnels below 👇🏻 basically it's zig-zagging near south bedrock wall.

Also there is direct route to Idofront from our base (and future SE station), 2x2 for now but maybe will be expanded in future

so it's now possible to go directly from top of L4 down to L5 idofront by foot in the tunnels

[burnt sparrow]

I'll be checking that out

[burnt sparrow]

I probably won't connect the main rail tunnels/paths to your's because it isn't supposed to be a direct path down

If I pass through there and can make a station near your personal line then I will

[acoustic spoke]

yea, understandable. This path we made especially to skip entire L4

[burnt sparrow]

Looked into it, it looks like you're building on what used to be lambstag

I'll be having the line pass through there anyway

[torpid hound]

Awesome!

I’ll make a train station sometime

[sweet maple]

Rails when? o.o
Sosu, Marbe and everyone else already dug out the main railway lines in L4 :]

[urban kiln]

Maybe I'll delay it more because I told them not to do that

In all seriousness, I do not know, I imagine me and Boy will decide when our holiday is over

So not imminently

[sweet maple]

+++
alr, thanks for the quick response :D
I'll try to wait with event hosting in the town till it's back, so more people can actually come.

[nova imp]

Will speak for Quartz Group. When we'll make the borderline proper, we'll tell what position. Right now broke to work.
