The Road & Horse Network (RHN) is a group project focussed on building and maintaining a network of roads across the Survival 4 Multiplayer worlds of the Dogcraft server. The current network is mostly around the larger Husky spawn area, but ever expanding. The roads are a good way to travel around by horse, donkey, mule, foot or pig to visit all the connected cities, towns and player bases.
The RHN can be seen as the younger and smaller nephew of the other travel networks: SRN (Survival Railway Network) and NTN (Nether Transport Network). Also less organised...
Origins and growth
The project was first imagined as a semi-serious suggestion by _edo (who also founded the SRN and the NTN) to add another discussion channel on the Discord SRN/NTN server, to talk about the planning and building of a road network that'd go alongside the Survival Railway Network. Two roads (Takeshi Road and Gaia Road) had already been built and there was potential for more. The suggestion was kindly dismissed so instead on July 14th, 2020, _edo started a new Discord server solely for the creation of a roads network, 3,5 months after the start of the Husky world.
Since then, the RHN has steadily grown. As of November 2020, the RHN Discord server has 46 members, 10 of whom have actually built parts of the network, and the network of roads reaches up to 5k blocks away from spawn. Notably, _Shako built a large section of the newer roads (Stone Exchange Road, Eagle Road, Lotus Isthmus Road) and upgraded many of the older roads.
What is built
The built projects consist not only of public roads but along those roads there are many bridges, signposts, close to a dozen public horse stables and -shelters. In Spawn Town is the RHM Centre which alongside public stables and shelter also has general info about the RHN; a shop selling everything needed for horse riding; a horse testing range; and more.
The RHN facilitates everything needed to make it easy and enjoyable for everyone to travel by horse (and also by donkey, mule, foot or pig).
