Cordelia Station was the sixth station on the Beagle South Line in Survival 4. It was built by 20.png Montenator and 20.png N1cM4tth3w63. The station opened to the public on the 21st of November 2021.


About The Station

Initial concept designs for Cordelia began whilst the fifth station on the Beagle South Line, Machair, was being built in survival. Initially, the idea of a submarine was proposed by N1cM4tth3w63, stating that it would fit in well with the other ocean themed stations, such as Tidal and Hibernia. Montenator then decided it might be fitting to make it a yellow submarine, relating to the commonly used colour to represent the South Line and as a reference to the famous Beatles song 'Yellow Submarine'.

The build process was a joint effort from Montenator and N1cM4tth3w63, with the latter designing the submarine and cranes, whilst Montenator designed the towers, pontoons and the interiors to the station. Cordelia Station was very long and narrow, and can be split up into two distinct sections: the submarine section and the tower section.

The submarine section housed the station terminals, with terminals leading northwards to Machair Station, and southwards towards Rivermill Station, with two branch line terminals as well. This area also housed the network maps as well as a station log book, an idea inspired by RHN Shelters on Husky. A large map of the vast ocean surrounding of Cordelia can be found at the central room of the submarine. Climbing the stairs to the top of the submarine, a dedicated trident launch point as well as a utility room can be found, housing all station essentials such as ender chests, anvils and crafting tables.

The tower section was where the bulk of the beds were located, with the central walkway being lined with them at either side. The fair tower has the station's NTN portal as well as two boat dispensers that allow players to launch out of the tower to explore the vast ocean surrounding Cordelia Station. The station was also decorated with pontoons at either side of the station. They were mainly aesthetic but served as the easiest way for players to travel between both parts of the station.

Although a branch line to the base of 20.png CaveCreeper1024 was started, it was never fully completed.
