Spawn Subway

Spawn Subway History

Spawn Subway began as a idea from  Karl on 2022-10-28 but unfortunately wasn't worked on past a small indent in the wall, and a door with signs.

On 2023-12-14 in the "Spawn Town - Public Forum"  Noggisoggi brought up the fact that the Spawn Subway was still unfinished and  Aq2a made plans to build said subway but later forgot about it.

On 2024-01-07  Aruamu asked if plans for the subway were underway yet and was told no and given the go-ahead to work on it, work commenced on the next day.

Subway Phases

The Subway was planned in Phases to help simplify building and planning and give a clear roadmap.

Phase 1

---

Phase 1 was setting the ground work for the subway, that being the main structure the subway and accompanying redstone is housed in. This Phase started on 2024-01-07 and ended on 2024-01-12.

Phase 2

---

Phase 2 was dedicated to making the redstone framework used for the rail switcher, selection indication and minecart delivery system. This Phase started and ended on 2024-01-12 and was the shortest by far.

Phase 3

---

Phase 3 is dedicated to line planning and is the current Phase as of 2024-01-21, This phase is one of the most difficult as there are a lot of underground structures in spawn that can completely ruin a line if not planned for. This Phase started on 2024-01-13 and ended on 2024-01-22

Phase 4

---

Phase 4 will be setting up the subway to be functional to include setting up rail, linking the redstone switchboard from Phase 2 up to the rail as well as cart return. This Phase started on 2024-01-20

Phase 5

---

Phase 5 will be the last and final phase of the Spawn Subway project this is where the subway starts to come alive, this Phase is dedicated to digging out and placing the walls, lighting and decoration. This phase is also dedicated to making the small stations that the rails lead to actually look good. This Phase hasn't been started yet.

Fun Facts

• The Spawn Exit North line selector doesn't actually do anything as it is the default track selected at all times.
• The Old Town Line was dug out completely by hand until tnt was acquired for the other tunnels.
