Moor Station was the third station on the Akita South Line on Survival 5. The station served the eastern side of the group settlement of Flowercliffe, and was designed and built by Akita South Line Manager, 20.png Montenator. The station opened in a double opening alongside Electric Grove Station on the 10th of August 2022.

Construction

Moor Station was initially designed alongside South Station in the twilight months of Survival 4, in preparation for Survival 5. When Montenator found a suitable location that fit the theme of the station, it was transferred into survival from the Sandbox world. 20.png N1cM4tth3w63 designed the interior of the station, and went for a rustic, homely feel to match the style of the exterior.

Design

Moor Station was primarily made up of calcite, with a brick foundation. The roof contrasted the walls by using deepslate brick stairs, that allowed it to really stand out from afar. Several chimneys scattered the roof of the station, with cobwebs used to give the classic smoke effect. The main station building was built atop a large wooden platform, that wrapped around the front of the station. On the northern end of the building, a canopy covered the station's branch line terminals, of which it had 5. The main platforms were decorated with planters filed with colorful flowers, emphasizing that the settlement of Flowercliffe was located nearby. The two main line terminals were located on the southern end of the station, one led northwards towards Electric Grove Station, while the other led southwards towards a future South 4 Station.

The interior had two levels, the upper one contained plenty of beds for weary travelers to rest, as well as a nether portal connected to the NTN. The lower level contained several quaint waiting areas, backed by walls of foliage. A small kitchen area was found at the northern end of the station, while a map of the surrounding area was located in one of the entranceways to the station. Corridors also took players back towards the main line terminals, or out the front or back of the station. Station amenities such as ender chests, crafting table and a station log book were found in the main atrium.

A decorative track ran alongside the front of the station, the actual minecart track ran along the center of this making for a cool approach to the station. A small signal box was found on the other side of these tracks. It was off-limits to the public, and served as a storage area and base of operations for future expansions of the South Line. Out the back of the station, there was a 4-way crossroad that eventually was the site of a PNG shelter. This crossroad took the player towards Flowerlciffe, Upton and Spawn as well as it led further south towards the 4th South Station.
