    The log on the side just doesn't fit in with the rest of the road.

    I think it does as railroad tracks IRL have wooden beams under them. Plank would be best as they require 1/4 the resources.

    The government has a few double chests of sandstone (and enough diamonds to purchase more) that we could use as the divider between the road and the rail (on the same level as the road). If we do a railing between the road and railway (which does look cool IMO), then we'll need to have open spaces every 20-50 blocks so that ppl can go off from the road and not have to place blocks on the road or destroying the railing.

    I think we'll end up going with this idea for the roads/railways. (Nice addition with the railings @keirhan )

    Can there please be some kind of arch/support? I don't want to see floating roads like there are currently.

    Yeah, we'll have bridges (we'll need a few simple designs). I just made that on a test server.

    That's how the roads will be on land.

    Just throwing an idea out there. Whipped these up real quick in creative.

    It's not exactly a resource friendly or an easy design but it's not terribly complicated either.

    The higher the space it needs to clear the bulkier the stone supports would have to be because the wood probably shouldn't be any taller than it is already.

    Looks cool, but the rest of us are not Morians (we can't dedicate months to roads/railways).

    You underestimate the power of the masses!
    Don't you think it would be worth it, and it would give purpose to some of the people on GC who would want to participate in a community project?

    Simple roads don't reflect the awesomeness that is godcraft. I would personally work on making roads like that, though I don't know how much I could do without going crazy.

    Quite a bit of the road/railway will be over water. Once we complete that, we should make bridges with proper arches. Then possibly attempt making them grander if other projects haven't pulled us away.

    I'm dissappointed. This build world should be different from the first, in that it has a better all around feel when traveling around. It needs the spark that building projects like Moria or New Venatum have, a great, epic look/feel.

    Come back and build them @xDiiBs . I'm focusing on getting the roads/railway done, building netherrail when we reset nether and building Arrakeen.

    This is a section of the railway I've got on the Build World 1, Just to give people ideas. Would need to be wider than this though.

    if im honest could we do one of each in each direction? or would that just look too bad?

    hehe you love all of them ? lol...My opinion is we stick to number 3 that's the coolest looking road/bridge I've ever seen. It also has space for minecart tracks.
