MOTTO Station was the first station on the Akita West Line on the Survival 5 SRN. The station was designed and built by Ze_Tais and construction was overseen by the Akita Line Managers darparniox, Montenator and eybwam. The station broke the tradition of the initial cardinal stations being named after the compass direction they were in, instead taking its name from the player run shopping mall MOTTO, of which the station served. The station opened in a joint opening with Akita South Station on the 24th of April 2022, making it the first station to open on Survival 5.

About The Station

The area for the station was picked out by darparniox and eybwam in the first few days of Survival 5. There was largely ocean in the immediate western area of the world, which meant a longer than average length of track would be needed to connect it up to Spawn. The station area was quickly offered up for building on the SRN Discord, with Ze_Tais offering to design and build the station. The station area picked out was right next to an area where StenLluk was planning on building a player run shopping district. The decision was made that the station would serve the area, as it proved a convenient way of reaching the shopping area in the absence of player warps and homes during the early days of Survival 5.

The stations construction progressed quickly, with Ze_Tais getting help from MOTTO co-founder Philip98999 in transferring the station design into survival. With the station progressing, a line building session was organised by the Akita Line Managers to build a viaduct over the spawn sea to connect up the station. darparniox and eybwam found an old viaduct design in the Sandbox world that was never used, tweaked it a bit and that end up being used. The viaduct was a dual road and rail crossing, allowing it to be used a part of the PNG for Akita.

The station itself consisted of a singular large atrium, with two elevated areas in separate corners where beds were located. A large organically shaped nether portal dominates one wall of the station, which provided NTN access. On another side of the station, the two main west line terminals were located and on the opposite end, four branch line terminals were found, none of which were used. Another corner of the station had a wall of thanks to all the contributors of the station build. A station logbook was also found nearby, as well as exits out towards the main MOTTO shopping area.

A small boat dock was located at the front of the station as well, which linked up to the CSC. The immediate surrounding of the station was terraformed by Ze_Tais to match the beachy terrain it was built on.
