Posted August 8, 2020 Always wanted to try to do this so here we go! Tree Farm Tunnel This is a Boat/Highway tunnel project going from r16 to the south coast at s16 between the two deeds of Groots Tree Farm and Tree Farm Tunnel. The goal is to allow ships of all sizes quick access from the South Coast to the Centre of the map. We realise this early on it is an ambitious project but we have alerted all our neighbours, have made sure nobody is currently in the path of the route. This post is more to make aware any new players that wish to settle in the area. Until a little bit more work is started off on the tunnel we are currently not looking for helpers but later on any community support would be great. However with that being said any support beam donations will never be turned away! If anyone has any questions of concerns about the project they can post here or contact Pythius ingame as he is leading the tunnel project. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2020 Progress update: Tunnel work is ongoing and if you are travelling down the highway between Groots Tree Farm and Lunarsky there currently is no way through until we get the bridge up over the canal. Divet up toward Mountain Ville and head south from there if you are on a cart or wagon - sorry! If you are interested in helping please contact the project manager of the tunnel ingame: Pythius It may still be too early for this but we are also looking for help with 10 strongwalls. Currently there is Iron and Copper inside the tunnel if you are nearby and just want to mine those veins for the resources let us know for access. Support Beam donations would still be greatly appreciated 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 23, 2020 just found this post. Is this project still going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 24, 2020 Yeah, been making a lot of progress on it recently. Entrance/exit both terraformed. You can drive a cart all the way through from one end to the other. However there is still some of the rocktiles still to mine out, ceilings still need levelling in about half of it. Also about half the sidewall reinforcements are done at the moment. Not to mention there is a lot of veins - though only 1 vein needs to be mined out to turn it into a sailboat/knarr canal. About 10 more will need mining out for larger boats. I'd say the project is about halfway complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2020 If there is still copper available, I'd be willing to come take a bit out for you. Probably won't put a huge dent in it, but I'll take what I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) There is no more copper available at the moment, that vein was mined out just a couple of days ago. Right now we have; Iron, Zinc, Lead and Sandstone that is in the way. We also have Tin in the side wall which is not a priority but it's there.
