As the title says, I finally took a foot infront of the other, and used two Tunnel Borers from Railcraft to carve the paths the line would go.
\nI finally reached where the Residential station would be made. Surveyed the area and just tried to lay down a road. That turned into another road. And another road. And soon I had a small rural neighborhood. Most of the houses seem to fit into the forest scenery with a bit of tweaking. It actually looks alot better than I thought it would. And “driving” through the forest is lovely.<\/p>\n
I then extended the line to my house, and made the connection. Added a fountain infront of the house. Been playing around with High Speed rails. So tedious. One powered High Speed Transition Rail can give a person whiplash with the sudden break of the sound barrier (that’s what it feels like. It’s a sudden WOOSH).<\/p>\n
Yet, instead of extending the RED and BLUE lines to get to the INNER LOOP LINE which still hasn’t been made yet, I’ve been trying to play with other mods. I want more places to go to instead of the same random biome crap. More dimensions. I want a reason I made the Portal Room under my house, that isn’t just for portals to the Nether and The End.
\nThere was one mod I had my eye on for a bit; the Twilight Forest. A slightly-darkened, enchanted forest.
\nHad trouble getting the thing in, due to BlockID conflicts. Two blocks from the Twilight Forest were being used by the RedPower2 Core, so I changed them to 200 and 201, and that finally got it working and I made another room for the portal.<\/p>\n
The new dimension is pretty nice, but.. it just gets old when you’ve seen the same stronghold and same huge tree 25+ times. Plus, I don’t like the constant dark. I wanted MORE! MORE dimensions! Another, not as<\/strong> supported but still cool mod is called Tropicraft. It’s unfinished, but it’s alot more stable than The Aether. The reason for the stability is, it doesn’t use .class files, and, there’s no actual dimension… yet<\/em>. However, you can use the blocks to make your own tropical paradise. I played around with the Palm Tree sprout in the large Desert biome the Main Hub and Sundune Village are in, and they look really nice. It gives the area life. Hopefully what Jeetol is planning will change that, and get me back in the mood. In about a week, he’s going to have a five-part mini-spotlight of Railcraft (to show how awesome it is). Maybe him attempting to do his own transit system. Can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As the title says, I finally took a foot infront of the other, and used two Tunnel Borers from Railcraft to carve the paths the line would go.

\nThere’s a highly-supported mod called The Aether. Another dimension, but in the sky. The thing is, it’s very, very<\/em> buggy. As in, it feels as if it’s still in beta. So many mod incompatibilities. Yet, the gorgeous pictures hide all of that. They hide the issues behind the mod.<\/p>\n
\nCurrently, the only tree is the Palm Tree, which grows in Desert biomes or wherever there’s alot of sand.<\/p>\n
\nAnyway, I hope to get back to work soon. But I got the itch to install a new .jar and get The Aether. Why am I so… bored with my transit system? I guess maybe because all the “cool” shit has already been done.
\nJust like for the W2TS V2.0, getting to that large Swamp biome was key.<\/p>\n
