This is the pre-announcement thread, please reply to this one!: http://dogcraft.net/forum.php?page=%2Ftopic%2C433.msg4182.html%23newHey everyone, there has been a lot of questions on the SRN and NTN since launch of the Survival 2 world. This post is to clarify and get everyone on the same page.
The SRN will continue to be built by the existing SRN team, namely me, _edo, Brianetta, Aeghu, Skelleton123 and OPwrecker, amongst others. We are hoping to be fully up and running and starting to build lines in each direction in a week and a half or so.
The only major change that is taking place is that the four main lines line will now depart from a new city to the south of spawn. This is purely a circumstantial decision as we were unable to start them from spawn itself. As a result, Spawn Station will operate as the first northern station. The main station in the new city will be called Grand Central Station to distinguish. A basic map in included below for visual reference.
In the absence of a dynamic map for Survival 2, we will also be undertaking a new project to create a new world map. This will involve making large in game maps, screenshotting them, and piecing them together in a image editing program. It will function as the new SRN map and also will be made available as a public resource without any SRN track markings over top. Skelleton123 will be in charge of this. More details will be announced soon.
A new SRN HQ will be built in the new city under the title of Ministry of Transport, and will incorporate an NTN HQ as well as other transport related resources. A facility for the server map project will also be built alongside. For now, a temporary donation chest is set up at the city, which can be found by taking the rail line south from Spawn Station. The chest has a subdivided claim so that anyone can access it.
Another, more general post very similar to the existing SRN thread will be created when work on the actual lines begins in earnest.
Feel free to ask any unanswered questions below, and me or another team member will our best to answer
