What started as me wanting to kill 15 minutes turned into an idea, which turned into building a basement, which turned into starting to map out a system to fully flesh out said idea... The result: the very beginnings of a subway of sorts. I'm calling it the Minecart Transit System (MTS) and it's goal will be to provide quick(er), safe travel in dedicated enemy-free tunnels (either completely underground or with glass block walls above ground) to whoever would like to participate.
Scenario: it's dusk and you got turned around while exploring and don't know where your house is. You see my place in the distance and quickly run for safety. There is a MTS sign and you also have a terminus in your house so you know you can get home via the access point on my property.
So far, I've made a station in my basement and made a nexus of-sorts inside the island between what was beer's island and Travis's mountain. I have a working prototype linking my basement to someone's backyard and ran rail from my basement to the Nexus. What was formerly Fluffy's Tomb is being converted to a Spawn terminus, and as it so happens, part of that rail runs through the community garden - you'll be looking down upon it as you travel.
If anyone would like to participate let me know here or IG if you see me and we can figure out a crude map and work from there.
