Moon Heights Station was the third station on the Akita West Line on the Survival 5 SRN. The station was designed and built by 20.png Ze_Tais with the help of various players as well. The station broke the tradition of most stations designed mainly focused on terraforming, moons and lore. The station would open on the 2nd of September along side 15 stations on Akita. Being in the largest opening of the SRN to exist so far.

About The Station

Continuing with the natural theme that Ze_Tais has been working with ever since he started build stations, Moon Heights station primarily focuses on terraforming, and bringing life into builds. This station is the 3rd of the west line, and it鈥檚 located at -5100, -1000. The station contains 3 main structures being the main SRN station, and a barn that also acts as an RHN Shelter, and a portal connecting to the nether built by 20.png HatterSkye. The station saw help from players like 20.png TrainerMoon, and 20.png Kar204 who both helped in copying the design over from creative to survival. 20.png PerskyPuff would find interest in decorating the pond built there. Players like 20.png Mika_Panda, 20.png AwesomeTom21, and 20.png Montenator have contributed to the interior of the station by building a cafe representing the food of their choice. The station has a giant viaduct coming in and out connecting it to Mount Ravenhold and Milk Mafia station that was stolen from Akita East Line Manager 20.png eybwam and tweaked to fit the curves of the viaduct. There is also two branch lines for any future connections. A build session was hosted on the 24th of August to finalize all of the rail lines. More like for the helpers to finish them and not Ze_Tais! The station was started on the 18th of January and was finished on the 24th of August, accumulating over 8 months of progress.

Inspiration

This Main structured was inspired by two famous Minecraft youtubers, Pearlescentmoon and Mythical Sausage Viking village series. Ze_Tais would take this design and expand on it and adds his own building techniques on it allowing the structure to have more greenery to fit the theme. A new structure was also designed and acts as an RHN shelter. There is also a connection to the outstanding NTN. Ze_Tais would go and add rocks, cliffs, ponds, fields, flowers and a trees...a lot of them. The station accumulated over 100 trees built.

Promotion and Opening

The station was teased on several occasions by the CDNN either on Dogcraft Twitter, Dogcraft Instagram, or on youtube. Ze_Tais also shared monthly progress pictures on the DTD discord server. This continued until the month of August 2023 where all Line Managers decided to have the biggest opening on Akita SRN. The station made it to the thumbnail of the August CDNN video.
