Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I was working on my own highway and then starting getting in contact with other highway builders and before long it grew organically into a larger project. Now I can say that the mainland side of the highway connection (not just local, but complete connection to the rest of Xan's infrastructure) is already fully planned among 3 people Just wanted to let you all know about the progress EDIT Some quick screenshot about the Newsping-Mainland Connection being built Spoiler Edited January 16, 2017 by Thorakkanath 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2017 Does anything happen with this or is it another case of Slickshot disapears? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bridgework was started before Slickshot was involved and still continues. Highway on mainland is already planned and I believe that work is underway. Highway on the island is also underway. Each has a fairly small amount of people working on them, 1.5 on the bridge, ~3 on the mainland highway (based on other posts in this thread), and 1.5 on the island highway. The progress is slow, but it is still happening. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2017 I hope to make it over to help soon. Unfortunately play time has been restricted some and other projects have kept me at alliance lands. Have the bridge details been worked out as far as shape, materials, etc. ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2017 I understand they finalized on arched marble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2017 Things do happen with this, indeed. The mainland highway team has almost connected Linton to the coast. As far as I know, some names are not mentioned in this topic here, I guess they just do their things behind the scenes. Nefer (aka veste) is literally destroying the Newspring mountains to create a pass through. The actual bridge still needs lots and lots of dirt, so far there have been 2 (if that) people who have donated any at all. As for myself, I'm not spending all my game hours doing dig-dig-dig, because that wouldn't be all fun. In this month I've dropped ~60 crates into the sea, which is less than I would like. But as everyone knows, Nahjo priests are no longer dirtpooping wondermachines... it actually takes some time now We have also had some difficulties finding a good time with Cevanne (Faldor) to plan the first section, because different game hours and life and such. However, while nothing seems to happen visually, I'm still making bricks and digging dirt if I have time. If we get to planning the first part of the bridge, I will shout here for sure. So yeah, in conclusion, things are still happening. Slowly. For those who want to contribute materials - bring dirt, marble bricks and/or mortar. Rome wasn't built in a day. That bridge is at least 3/4 of Rome... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2017 I'm still around. This project came before me and continues without me as well. lol As Shmeric said, Rome wasn't built in a day. This is a massive project that will take quite a long while to complete. Slowly but surely! I've also had some real-life priorities with time and money that take precedent over Wurm, so I haven't been on as much as I'd like. I do think and ponder on the project weekly, however, so I haven't forgotten about it! If you'd like an update on what I'm doing I'm currently at the collection phase. I'm at the point of creating more large crates to drop my stored dirts into, and then load into the caravel to make my rounds and pick up other donations as they come along.

Posted January 25, 2017 As a Newspring guy I am very much looking forward to the bridge and have some dirt waiting to contribute. Sending message when ready to bring it over. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 25, 2017 Once the bridge section gets planned, maybe organise a weekend for people to come help. I'm a bit far away be doing little jobs here and there, but I'd definitely come down and help out for a weekend. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 26, 2017 I'm slowly working on a pile of mortar for the eventual bridge build. I can switch to marble bricks (I have one vein so far!) when I run out of sand, but I'm not sure what our needs are, numbers-wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2017 It seems dirt is the most pressing step at the moment. I do have a harbor to dredge Not sure how quickly that would go though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2017 Is it known yet where the Newspring side of the bridge will connect to existing highways? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 26, 2017 1 hour ago, Ostentatio said: Is it known yet where the Newspring side of the bridge will connect to existing highways? For the most part, yes. There is a highway that runs North - South on the island, it will attach to that. The new highway will run basically straight west from the bridge landing. either over or through the mountains. (I prefer over) Later today or early tomorrow I will make a new youtube video showing the progress that has been made, and with the proposed route. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
