West Station, the traditional name for the first SRN station West of Spawn, is the first connection on the Survival 6 - Sheltie West-Line.
Design & Location
West Station on the Sheltie server is the furthest mainline station from any spawn this season. It is actually within the traditional 1500 blocks from the previous station, Grand Central Station, but due to the masive spawn sea and linemanager Skelleton123 wanting to go around that, it's a ride of over 5 minutes long. Exceding the AFK-timers. You definitly can't ride this part AFK.
The station is based on a victorian-style build, adapted for minecraft and it's purpose as an SRN station. Using mostly sandstone and mangrove for the facade and warped planks and stems for the roof.
Due to it's location, directly west of Spawn across the water, a CSC port was integrated as well, using the same block palet. To also provide a point of departure for the horse-riding cyberdogs, a RHN stables was also included. West of the complex, a wall indicates where you enter into the 'wild west' of the Sheltie world.
Station Facilities
The station has been designed to serve as a hub for travelers on the Sheltie world.
In the main building, you'll find beds on the platform, to take a rest, and some barrels and enderchests accompanied by some crafting tables for storing and crafting. Also the biggest map of the server, so far, is located in the main building. Aim for the future is to have the whole West-line displayed on that map! An NTN portal sits on the oposit side of the station building
The CSC port houses some chests proving you with compasses to find your way across the sea to some other ports. Including a lighthouse to guide you towards the port.
The RHN Stables is still needing an interior, but the stables are able to store your horses safely.
History
The Station build was started within a month of the server launching. Skelleton123 however underestimated the amount of work it would take to finish the station and had to re-evaluate the amount of time it would take to finish. In the end it took about 7 months to gather all the blocks and build up the station and it's surroundings.
In the final weeks leading up to the opening, the task of building the line was done by Skelleton123 himself. As he couldn't find a suitable date to host a line-building session. Along the way to spawn, the North station was discovered to be so close to the line. The last part of the track (or the first part if you are departing from spawn) is shared by both cardinal lines. Also a first!
On August the 8th of 2024 both North and West Station were opened up together in a joined line-opening event. The event first took everyone on a short 2.5min ride to North station, to then return to Grand Central Station and ride the line again, but this time to West Station!
