Since I feel the MRT Server can no longer be used for design ideas for the W2TS (not saying the server is shit), I’m going to start putting them here. The reason why I say this, is building has slowed due to either Member Applications were closed, or people updating to 1.3. This is leading to a lot less people on at my times.
I was hoping we could really start doing some community projects and make highways with towns along them. This to me would give more inspiration for the W2TS.
I didn’t do a “MRT Server, week #” post, Because I was busy at the time. Unfortunately I forgot most things that had or have been done. But here’s a layout of what’s been going on lately;
— Say goodbye to forever Daylight. Frumple has switched on Day/Night as a test run, and it works and looks fine at night. So he’s keeping it. It’s kinda cool but I also don’t like it, because it kind of interferes with what I need to do. It’s not that bad, but I still liked it when we had unlimited day. It was bound to happen eventually.
Though Frumple did say he would do it when the server became established. There’s still a lot of real estate people aren’t claiming.
Most of the other members would tell me “fuck you! I wanted day/night since the server came up! I want a challenge!”
— The AdMod building is now new and improved, literally. Torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. We mods now have slightly bigger offices. It’s actually pretty cool, and I like my improved office. We can have carpet now! And thanks to my haggling of Chief, we now have a lounge area that’s “outside” of the office.
— Construction of the MRT International Airport is commencing at G2. Currently at the time of this post, it’s stalled because the main builder is busy with real life stuff. It will be based off of a real life airport; the Detroit Metro’s McNamara Terminal. I’m in charge of roads there.
Also, construction of planes is underway. I’ve placed orders for two 737’s, a 707, and a 747 Cargo.
— I did some work that needed to be done on the MRT Regional Airport. Extended the runway and completed the road with a somewhat realistic loop to connect to the front of the entrance of the Airport. I really like how I did the airport signs.
— We unfortunately had our first demotion of a fellow Mod, followed by a ban a week after. The exact reason is still unknown. He was a good friend to me. He liked helping others. But, he was just too far gone from what happened before, and snapped. I’ve been strongly thinking of taking a few weeks off to clear my head. But with the lack of mods that are my age and are on at my time (as in, I’m the only one), I cannot.
— Construction of a well-needed road loop around Spawn City has been completed. I hope people will use this to build more skyscrapers and other things at the dry areas. The Swampland biome the area is in will have to be drained and filled up to allow more space.
— Frumple has found out the MRT as it is now, will work in 1.3 and 1.3.1. But no one knows if it will work in 1.3.2. It might, then again might not.
— Last thing, I’m working on re-routing the Southwest Highway to the MRT Regional Airport by giving it more of a direct connection. Removing the old highway will be a challenge, due to needing to make the terrain natural again.
