View source for Aporkalypse Tram Systems

A growing network of minecart tracks provides transportation between various areas of the [[Aporkalypse]]. The server uses [http://craftbook.sk89q.com/wiki/Usage Craftbook] to provide some useful minecart enhancements.

Tram line builders can post about changes to stations on the [[tram line changes]] page.

==Tram system building tips==
Designers should carefully consult [http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Minecart_Tracks Minecraft track basics] and Craftbook links ([http://craftbook.sk89q.com/wiki/Minecart_control_blocks control blocks], [http://craftbook.sk89q.com/wiki/Minecart_interaction_blocks interaction blocks], [http://craftbook.sk89q.com/wiki/Minecart_dispensers dispensers]).  However, Aporkalypse uses brick for sorters, not netherstone.  Optimal booster spacing is still being worked out, but for gold ore boosters, a spacing of about 100 meters is generally sufficient on flat, straight runs.  It is recommended you build track on top of stone, not on gravel or other surfaces, as some materials cause the carts to slow down.

Station launchers can be built without redstone by placing a button 1 meter perpendicular to the obsidian block, each facing broadside to each other.  If redstone is used, you must lay the redstone down so that one end of the redstone trail visibly "points" to the edge of the obsidian block, and the other end connects to one of the sides of the button.  Quite often a compact station design will fail due to the redstone short circuiting or failing to take a proper path.  Station launch failures are also sometimes due to the designer forgetting to put a sign underneath the obsidian with [Station] on the second line.

An efficient, compact station layout can take considerable time and lots of trial and error to develop.  Btford reports, "Here is a station I plan on using as my standard on my eastern Westerly Line stops."
