The Return of Voyagerfan99's Minecraft Server

I just finished an MTS line heading from a newly-built station to a, wait for it...Mesa biome. I found it while scouting and it's several thousand blocks from Spawn. The line is not 100% complete (still need finishing touches on lighting and decor), but it's safe and fully-functional. For those of you wanting to explore and branch out, I suggest you travel at night as the visual appeal loses something in the daylight. The terminus on this line is still a work-in-progress and currently the only safe haven in that area. Use caution beyond the door!
The station to access it is behind C4C's house (at least I think it's his - whoever is behind Origin Saint). Standing in the pumpkin patch and facing West, head towards the dirt/stone hill you see between the trees. There is a tunnel dug for a railway connecting the Nexus on the bridge near Spawn to this new station (which will probably become the Nexus in the future), but there is no track yet ran. For now, I placed a beacon at the new station. As soon as you clear the birch treeline behind the pumpkin patch you'll see it.
Enjoy the ride (it's a long one, almost 3 minutes I would guess), and happy exploring!

I don't know much about multilayer on MC. Can you join if you're on xbox?
I don't believe so.
There's no way to specify servers on Xbox, I believe it's just a party system and local hosting through the console

That's a letdown. I like consoles for a lot of games, but they fall flat on their face with minecraft.
It's too bad, I dig holes. My latest is something like 50 x 125 and down to bedrock. Much creativity!
There is a new MTS line from the Beach/Ocean Terminal to a biome across the ocean. I haven't done much exploring outside of the immediate area, but it looks to be Hills/Grassland. As always, the line terminus is safe, but once you leave the station, you're on your own! There is a bed, chest, workbench, and furnace below it.
On another note, as mentioned earlier, MTS started as a spur of the moment thing connecting houses around Spawn points, and areas surrounding it. It was meant to be very simple. However, as with most things, as it grows it becomes more complex. As such, "very simple" has evolved to "as simple as possible" in the grand scheme of things. With each new line, there's at least one new station, and labeling has become a bit tricky. Before, individual rails were designated by who/what was at the end. Now it's to the point where that's not too feasible. So, I went and put up new signs in the front of each station and to the side of each track designating what is what and where it goes. Some stations were renamed in the process.
Moving forward, any station that is located at a specific geographical formation will be named for that formation, and any station that is not will be given a number (think of this type as a hub where future lines will branch from). For example, the station located at Spawn is 'Spawn Station', while the one sitting on the track between my basement and the Ocean Station is simply 'Station #1'. I have a crude map linking everything together and as soon as I figure out the best way to put it in picture format I'll post it.

Any chance of making the transit system endpoints a little longer? I've tried a couple times to go various places like the (long ride!) destination and then go AFK, just to come back to be in the same place I left from since I bounced off of a minecart at the destination
Thanks!

Good idea, I was not aware this was an issue since I generally just do a controlled test-run in each direction. When you bounced off the minecart at the destination, I'm guessing it ricocheted you back onto the powered rails for a return trip? I'll remove some powered rails at the endpoint and replace with standard - it should fix it. Sorry!
EDIT: OK, I increased the number of standard rails at each line's end. It *should* be better now. As an aside, people could just mine the carts at the end of their trip too!
Also, there is a new line at the Ocean Station heading across the ocean to what looks to be a Hill/Grassland biome. And another line from Nexus to a Grassland biome. Built these a few days ago just never had a chance to Post until now.

I was doing stuff with that VM and never restarted it after I shut it down
It's up now.
Server is currently down for maintenance.
Server is back up
Haven't seen anyone the last several times I've logged in. Is it still a lot of activity Travis?
Also, for those who wish to use it as a branch point, I built a home at 146, 65, 4459. There's no MTS line connecting yet, but it looks like a pretty diverse area with several biomes not that far away. The home is safe for those needing to spend the night.
