[QUOTE=Zephyrs;48479192]I don't see what's disagreeable about this. It's correct. You can even have systems to automatically eject people and shove them into a nether portal to plop them into the overworld.[/QUOTE]
wheres the fun in that?
He simply stated that it would be faster.
That is factually accurate. It is faster to travel in the nether.
It's also more dangerous to travel in the Nether.
On a lit up path near the top layer of bedrock?
Nothing spawns. Not to mention that if you just have a ring of coblestone (or better) around it, ghast attacks don't even damage it.
An enclosed nether rail is much less dangerous than an open overworld rail. The only thing that spawns are pigmen which don't attack you, so there's no risk at all once the infrastructure is there. Which it mostly is because there's paths everywhere already in the nether. I tried to dismount on the overworld rail, however, and immediately fell to my death because the rail is right next to the edge. Since the overworld rail isn't in a cave, there's always a much greater risk of falling to your death than there is on the Nether paths. The fact that the nether has no hostile mob spawns outside of big open areas or nether forts means that you don't have any risk of skeletons shooting you or creepers blowing up sections of the rail, causing you to fall off. Overworld travel is of course more scenic, but nether travel is cheaper, faster, and safer. If transportation is the function of the rails, then building them in the overworld is a bad idea. If they're there as a build project to make the world look better and feel more connected, then building overworld rails makes sense.
Well to be fair, the solution for both the overworld and the nether is to just have everything lit up.
I'm back to working on the Mallen Tol furnaces. Minimal helped me sort out the big-ass furnace hall (now named Hall of the Mountain King) so now everything lines up straight and sexy.

Stay away from the farms. I'm taking care of them now.
On the topic of rail networks, I think if we wanted to build a nether rail network, we could build the hub inside the overworld's main rail station. That way, we'd have one connected transportation center that would provide both overworld and nether-based travel.
The nether network really needs a do-over.
I was hoping to find time to pigmen-proof it and build out stone paths to new settlements, but I just can't find the time at the moment.

Speaking off nether transport. Here is my tunnel to mallen tol

I was hoping to build a large nether portal in the train station and build a smaller replica of the station and call it platform 1 3/4 a'la harry potter.
However IIRC the station is built too close to another portal so it would mean I would have to disturb someone else's things in the nether.
My main problem with the Nether is there's too many spawn portals, we need 1 not 4.

Better signage would be nice too.
A footnote on the nether portals. There is a portal at bedrock directly in alignment with the iron farm. It is surrounded by fire, and cannot be easily moved. I'd heavily advise against building more portals in the general vicinity down at bedrock to prevent conflicts with that portal. (when nothing else is available, portals check the x and z directions, but y is also a factor)
Finished The Great Forge. Also, did the throne because yes.

It displays the Fartenstone, a great, glowing beauty of a gem that has caused many past Dwarven kings to go mad with constant flatulence.

Zakkin, why did you totally destroy that guys room to make it your own?
You literally could have taken any other.
it was literally my room, it had the same furnace wall (with fire underneath) and chest area and the bed wasn't even moved. The guy just literally took my room and replaced the floor with dirt/cobble. Guy took my shit, I took it back.

I moved your shit out and gave him permission to use that room because you hadn't played for 4 months straight.

To be honest I figured we both gave up. And then soon enough I think it must have changed IP or something since it never connected in my server list.
Edit: also I thought he was some squatting griefer, with how the room looked. He could actually just grief a cavern into a wall and that'd be of a similar quality, except it wouldn't have my things in it.
He is "role playing" as a "troll living among dwarves", so he made his room to that likening.
And I've been playing on the server since...late May now?
As for your stuff, when I started again in May, I emptied [I]everyone's[/I] spare junk into the vault and organized it.
Well this is great
I haven't been on in a while due to life problems then this happens
Now i'm afraid to log on and see the damage
nah s'cool..not like I put any effort into it or anything
Welp, I feel like a knob now. You can have the place back, there's plenty of stuff in there you can use to redecorate. I guess I took the misunderstandings a bit too far.
I'll just go live in the Forge now.
May I be whitelisted? Username is McDunkinY
I've been here for 7 years

I decided to come back on and was greeted with a rebuilt nether-work
Good on you guys for finally making it look better.
So with my return, I'll get off of my lazy ass and try and make the railway from Spawn-Wildeholt look better.
can u add up my buttbuddy SXMIX. He was whitelisted like a year ago, but was removed at some point, and now he has nostalgia for MC and this server is my best vanilla choice
Can I be whitelisted? maybe it'll make me play Minecraft for the first time in 3 years
MC Name: Pikmonster
May I get a whitelist invite? My username is : Usernamed
Oh hey, it's you! I remember you!
Usernamed used to be one of the more significant people on Profan's servers near the end. I can vouch for him, if he needs it.
