Here is an idea for a project to be done later (as in, a month or more later)
As of now almost all of minetown's buildings and towns are on the mainland. But now we have a VAST ocean surrounding it, with it's own little islands, and people brave enough to explore that terrain, and even build their houses on those islands!
I live on the edge of the mainland and use the ocean regularily to get resources, but there is that much I can travel and gather every time.
So I want a railway going through it.
Here is the idea:
The first station will be at an area near my place (see map screenshot) and from there will start a main, two way rail, going along the red line (see map).
There will be a main station at the black circle. From there we will have a line(green line) going to the residencies I have located on the map-unless those guys have problems with it. I think that line does not need to be double.
and from there the line would extend more, having middle every now and then, to let passengers get off the carts, or get on a line for a nearby island/town/residence.
Regarding the resources:
I have not measured the distances. But I have some stacks of rails from looting abandoned mines and alo have sone stacks of iron to make more.
We would also need glass for the underwater parts. No, let me rephrase. We would need TONS of glass <object class="emojione" data="

Glowstone for underwater lighting?
Bricks/stone for the stations?
Redstone for any circuits on the stations?
Please note that I do not have the HUGE amounts of money it would be needed to pay for workers and/or materials.
If this is in the end accepted as a guild project, you need to know that I cannot provide any more payment than my own offer of materials to this and future projects.
Maybe a large scale thing like this would attract some wealthy minetowner?
Do you think it has any hope?
