The Railway Found the Ground

“Starting to look like an actuall town”

The schematic cannon coughed to life above the moss in the evening, and WildMitchell announced, "oh it's off!" Below it, yesterday's grey ground was becoming slopes, paths and retaining walls. TheArkanite shaped the retaining work; Mac_Attack9 finished paths he was "actually so proud" of; Omayor kept the brick moving; skhl20 watched the rails. When buried moss stopped the cannon, Wild found more spruce and called, "bridge resumes."

Build Night did exactly what the town hoped: the railway stopped looking dropped from the sky and started belonging to the town beneath it. Mac's camera supplied the review: "Starting to look like an actuall town."

The yard became a classroom too. Dogeisagod arrived determined to recreate N&W 1218, met Create's appetite for brass, deployers, casings and bogies, and finally said, "I just want to make train tracks." shaxter_323 handed over a wrench and train casing; Mac and skhl helped work through the wheel problem. The exact arrangement would not fit, but Doge got a public storage track and several neighbours looking for another plan.

On his first evening, ggkrisi_ helped place bricks, then asked whether a train could also be his base. The answer was yes.

The Belts Grew Hands

Before dawn, Mello___ turned the "snakes of belts" into a mechanical arm, and it carried its first item. This came after Mello helped zarexx13 choose a nearby home, find a village and survive enough Nether to keep going. "I've done a lot," zarex said before bed. Fair assessment.

What Runs Next

  • How far does Wild's bridge reach when the cannon starts again? Can Doge's 1218 find a Homestead-friendly wheel plan? What shape does ggkrisi_'s base-on-a-train take?
  • Reply with the helper whose shovel, wrench or spare block changed your night.
