Hello!

Some of you may know the unofficial town of "Astoria", that was founded by Zepharn. We are currently trying to build up the town, that has 5 inhabitants at the moment, to make it attractive for more poeple to come. During we are trying to make the town official, we would like to create a minecart track from portal to Astoria, similair to the one that links portal and the new capital. I write that for several reasons.
First we feel unpleasant starting without a permission, because though there is a small footpath to Astoria now, the minecart track will change the landscape forever. We need a train station in portal town too, we have to get a permission for.
On the other hand we are searching for people who may want to help us with this project. If you have any resources you don't need it would be awesome to donate/sell/swap them to us. Especially we need powered rails!

I hope some of the High Council will read through this and hopefully give a permission.

EDIT: When closely looking at the really awesome minecart track that connects portal town and the new capital, whe began to think about how our own should work. I made screenshots of the mechanism used and i came to the result that a special script semms to have been used. My question is: Do we have access to that script to make minecarts drop aut0matically and where can I read how it works in detail?

Ok, I have actually started and kind of copied the Minecart Station of portal town, ensuring that it will work. I have figured out how Minecart Mania works, and I don't think it's open to use for citizens, because it gives unfair advantages to those who know how to use it. It would be great if an OP could come, look at the minecart station and type in all the commands needed.

I'd rather see if we can integrate the station into the one at the present, so that we have one station per town. It'd be rather messy with 5 stations per town scattered.

I totally agree on that. Actually I was writing about the station in Astoria that is partly a copy of the one I saw in portal town. I will tell you when it is finished so that somone could install the automatism.
The station in portal town should also be changed by someone else, I don't want to destroy the aesthetic ensemble of this place.

I hope that this will be a blocked off Minecart station and can only be opened if you are inside Astoria, As I've spent a while creating security locks, Etc for Astoria and I don't want them to be a waste if someone can just come to Aeres and get in a minecart to Astoria without having to worry about finding any ways in.

Can be made right outside of Astoria.

EDIT: Also, will look for ways to edit the current station so it can fit more than one railroad.
