Posted March 25, 2017 (edited) Everybody heard the echoing screams from poor travelers attacked by nightmarish creatures in that area of our beloved server. Well, the goal is to provide a quick way to travel underground and away from them, but also to improve our canal network and connect Echo to Nighmare lake. The tunnel will feature a walkway on the north side and a 2 tiles wide cave canal one tile south of it (using the freshly added wide entrances). We will have open air canals at both ends and through the 'Eldorado Crater' (nota. Walkway will start from the crater to the east exit). Western branch of the tunnel will not require a walkway, plenty of accessible roads in the area leading in and out of the crater. Trivia: This project have been thought accross a good amount of years now. The smaller amounts of deeds in the way, light improvement in tunnels, wider entrance and success of the Yellow Subway and Rainbow canal make this tunnel the logical next step in our efforts to improve Deliverance. What Can I Do?! : We can use miners, miners and even more miners. As well as concrete makers, support beams creators and blacksmith for those shiny new lamps. The Eldorado Crater contain more than enough gold veins to be mined out, leaving enough lumps for the lamps and your own storages. As usual a commemorative sign of some kind (statues, lamps, sign) with the name of the helpers will be place in the tunnel or the Eldorado crater. Spoiler Our helpers so far : Darmalus Nicrolis MrCoolMan Redreamer VelvetSun DelightfulDee Courtcourt Epryss xXxPoisonxXx TheShawv Subie Wilca Explora Stevelee Jaz/Zaj Ayuna Doctorangus Jberg GM Team Edit : Shout out to dye makers. We will most likely need a bunch of some various gold / purple / amber tones. Reach me there or ingame if you are interested.

Posted March 25, 2017 my mole and i will be there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2017 We have GOLD! already a few veins uncovered... low QL one for any creation need and an UTMOST one for our high skill miners. Come get them and leave your mark on the server. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2017 Well, for easier reading and keeping the helpers bait post above. Detailing the global plan for the tunnel (at least the western branch first) Punch through the mountain. The tunnel is above the water level to allow carts and wagons to travel inside it. Expand the tunnels to the two lanes as planned. Kill any veins by any means necessary and reinforce the sides Make and plant the gold lamps every 5 tiles or so Due to how they look, they will be pushed again the walls Ceiling flattening and then raising the central line to the max of its heigh. Clearing the tunnel with wagons / whatever is needed and sinking it down to the max depth. Collapse the entrance, expose the rock again, surface mine both tiles to the max depth and open it from the inside. Take a break, see how terrible the sunlight is and head back to the other tunnel and restart at step one with an extra walkway. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 25, 2017 Going to be tough with mutiple hands digging the tunnel, raising the roof, lowering the floors etc to get it right. Love the idea Goal of a cart tunnel and a boat tunnel together is good, kind of like the Wolfsden tunnel. saves on support beams needed and people on foot and a boat can use the same path. Who is the foreman for the job? Surveying done? Maybe assign teams for support beam making, vein clearing, roof raising, rough tunnel cutting, floor leveling etc? Not saying people would be stuck on one job just alot easier to contact one team or person for info on progress and needed materials. I am in, lets talk.

Posted March 25, 2017 I am the slave driver... and uhhhhh... good questions Surveying is kinda done. We know where the echo tunnel starts and will end. the crater / nightmare lake part is as prepared as it could be knowing there is no longuer any deeds in the way. The many mentionned tasks are up to whoever want to take them. Not trying to be too bossy on that one. As usual veins are marked with their QL and amount so any high skilled miner can get high QL gold... or skill away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2017 i have made 200kg of lye ql 22 is it to low to be used for cement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2017 can be used for it i believe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Status update : First tunnel punched through the mountain. 107 tiles long. 3 veins in the way. Including 2 Utmost gold with a really fast decreasing amount. Veins are gone in the west branch Lights are up - Reinforcing is in progress. Second part of the tunnel is being prepared. Come join the fun!

Posted March 28, 2017 He also offered to mine before I had to! Be like him a part of something great! (without the need to be coerced into it.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2017 I'll make this tunnel project. Something to get away from thies lamps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Status update : First tunnel now have the proper entrances. Lowering the floor and renforcing it is now needed. (As well as digging and dredging the western open air canal). Second tunnel is progressing quite well, with surprisingly few veins so far. The gnomes are punching through it quite fast (yup - we all look like gnomes at that current time) and the entrances are in progress. The walkway is started but will need a lot of love. Edit - Miners rejoice - The unholy mess that was ahead got cleared. Punching away can proceed again. Edited April 2, 2017 by Odynn 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Status update : And we are through - rare sighting of a dark Explora for scale. Toward Nightmare lake - Explora for scale again - maybe dredging too?! Entrance completed! Now just have to finish mining a tunnel, planting lamps, reinforcing it, preparing the walkway exits, dredging, making things nice... making more forum posts. Edit - Lets avoid a way too obvious post count raise... veins in the way of the canal progress:71ql - 495 actions - iron (Wilca 1 - Veins 0)39ql - 3276 actions - iron (Wilca and team)63ql - 4945 actions - lead (Zaj)22ql - 2762 actions - lead (Zaj) Edited April 6, 2017 by Odynn 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 4, 2017 Is there a way to get to either Echo Lake or Nightmare Lake by boat? I'd be coming from Celebration, without a horse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 4, 2017 Access is possible by both lakes. Depending on the boat you use you can get up to the canal starting entrances easilly. Canals are properly shown on that map : On the same note, we are now able to lower the whole western canal to the maximum depth. So Knarrs (and normally all boats) will be able to get in the crater from echo lake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
