Well considering that ****'s skyrail idea to guodesia is failing, stuffhappens and I have decided to extend rail route 1 to guodesia. Still needs kipz's permission though, I guess.
Anyways, the projected route is roughly 1200 blocks...
Which means the total costs are insane...
Resources needed for the rails:
120 gold
900 iron
Resources needed for other:
240 redstone (including power rails)
350 sticks (including rails)
60 coal (for torches)
Resources gained:
Around 10,000 cobblestone
Likely around 200-300 coal and 50-100 iron
Using iron pickaxes:
119 iron for pickaxes (maybe should use stone then?)
13 hours of total manpower (not including station work or rail work)
Using gold pickaxes:
900 gold for pickaxes (should use this to bug ****)
7 hours of total manpower (not including station work or rail work)
Any help, especially with the clearing of the 3x3 tunnel is nice here.
Edit: Mudkipz wants a stop in Forssa as well. This shouldn't be much more expensive.
