By the way, I got stuck in that stone brick square you have built in the water... I put my cart on the rails and hit go, and a minute later I was WTF!

Hmm, so did you release all of my prisoners?

I should probably disable that when I am not around, the track is just for prisoner transfer.

Okay, that's getting a BIT creepy there...

Hmm now I am wondering if there are holes I need to patch.

No, I didn't release any prisoners. I had some dirt with me so I built a n00b tower out the hole I fell down. Then I cleaned up after myself, removing said n00b tower.

Hehe, should probably take one section of track out so others don't fall in...

Or put up a sign saying the track is for prisoner transport? And why are you taking prisoners, anyway?

Because he's a monster...

The section of track between the beach and the giant stone box has been put under water, there is now an entrance with warning signs in the village..

The track no longer falls into a deep pit, it instead now drops into a receiving pen, that has a steel door exit triggered by a button, you need to be quick and there is running water leading you to the prison cell, but that also has a close hatch on it now so you should not directly fall in even in the worst case.

This guy spent way too much time designing his railroad stations:

But man, it's _fully_ automated.

I could have sworn this was posted before...

I've got a new flat design - the station itself is off on a side spur. So the cart comes along the main track then turns to the right into the station. When leaving, there's a detector rail that temporarily switches the junction up ahead (the one that made the cart turn right into the station), allowing the cart to get back on the main track going in its original direction. This works pretty darn good for uni-directional travel.

I also figured out a compact way to do empty minecart detection, also with a detector and a delay circuit and a track junction. I just don't know if it'll work in SMP.

Pics in a couple days, when I have some time to lay it out. I'm also planning to use this layout for the Southern Junction station.

Man, I gotta log in tonight and check out what's been goin' on in the server

Thorin · May 09, 2012, 03:24:02 PM

Not much lately on my behalf. I've done some planning and trials in single player creative mode, for the Southern Junction and Pineview above-ground stations. I'm also starting to think I can go back to the single-track solution.

I haven't been on for several days.
