Harmonic Highway
Community Project, Work in Progress.
Proposed route upon requesting permission from moderator on July 27th, 2020:
Actual progress can be viewed here.
Aside from the above proposed original connection, suggestions were made to extend the highway south around the entire map and add a connection to Spawn as well. As these parts may be constructed by various people, the general highway specifications are as follows.
Materials | A highway must be half-slabbed, with stairs on inclines. No full blocks on the road, this includes double slabs. Which slabs and stairs are used for this is up to the constructor of each stretch. |
Width | A highway must be 5 blocks wide (side to side of the slab road) on straight stretches and on all angles down to a 1:2 block ratio. On 1:1 ratio diagonals, it must be 6 blocks wide. |
Height | A highway should follow the terrain in gentle inclines so far as possible and thus have open skies. However, where covered by canopy or in tunnels, there must be 7 blocks free from the ceiling to the ground the slabs or stairs will be placed on. |
Lighting | A light source of at least 14 must be placed at least at every 10th X or Z coordinate (2240, 2250 …) depending on direction, on both sides of the road, directly adjacent to the road block. In case of hanging lights, it is the lamps, not their posts, that must be adjacent. |
Angles | A highway may not have turn angles above 45 degrees (that is going from straight to a 1:1 ratio diagonal) except on crossroads. Where a tighter bend is necessary in open terrain, a curve must be added to gentle the turn. |
Supports | A highway must be properly supported at cliffs and on bridges. This means there must be a 1-block pillar at least every 10th block, or a 2 block pillar every 20th, up to a 5 block pillar every 50th block. Supports may not be spaced farther apart than 50 blocks in either X or Z direction. |
Railing | At cliffsides and on bridges, a (wall or fence) railing must be placed on a full block directly adjacent to the outer road slabs from the point where the drop would be two blocks or more. |
Project Data for Harmonic Highway:
Contributor | Date | Contribution |
TheGrimRimmer | July 27, ongoing | Incentive, Trailblazing, Materials, Workforce. Visited The Ranch in Jusnothertry despite almost nonexistent overworld access with his horse Kang and invited to visit said horse for breeding purposes in his dome, thus providing a reason to build a ridable highway between both settlements. Cleared dark oak trees for the road stretch just before Slavia, built stretch from his dome through the snow plains. |
Salah | July 28, 2020 | Permission, Materials. Gave tentative permission to start the first part of the project with the stipulation that settlements and nations along the route still need to give their consent. Provided cobblestone and stone. |
Rickroll | July 28, 2020 | Permission, Participation. Allowed to build the road across Slavia territory, provided lighting and decoration on his national territory. |
Jinxauthor_Mel | July 28, ongoing | Route Planning, Trailblazing, Materials, Workforce. Project initiatior, built stretch from Jusnothertry to Slavia. |
kzmaderl | July 30, 2020 | Assistance, Trailblazing. Singlehandedly dug out the Slavia Tunnel. |
Overworld Paths
- Blakk Gold Path — Unlit ridable grass path between Slavnograd and the gold and iron farm. Planned, trailblazed and firmed by BlakkCooper.
- Mū Scenic Route — Partly lit non-ridable path from New Crossing to Jusnothertry, as well as south and west to Mykali River, taking long winding scenic detours following the terrain. Planned and firmed by Austrocat in May 2020.
