ParnikkaporeWhy does the temporary station for a temporary station feel fancier than the real stations 😅

Keppkirk station (Kpk) site survey results:
✅ Left slew just south of the station
✅ Considerable altitude changes
✅ 45-degree staircase
Road underpass (road will need to pass through the station diagonally)
❌ Space
❌ Side-by-side layout
✅ Stacked platforms layout Two staircases per platform (must lead to separate concourses)
Ok, I know this is going to be rough, but WOW! 
It's going to be A While until this fully comes to fruition, but this seems like a good placement and width allocation.
The awkward bit is going to be placing the elevators - my gut tells me to put it on the other side of the "foyer", but we might not have enough platform length for that. Alternate option is to place 1-2 on the low side of the stairs. (Luanti having 1x1m elevators makes some new accessibility options possible 
)
Nope, one more redesign, because that one turned out to leave too little space for platform amenities. A single, very wide stairwell is the solution.
It's just barely possible to meet the visibility requirements in order to allow yield signs to be used on the CS2 and D Road intersection, and the sweet deal is taken! We now have a clear idea of how D Road will pass through Keppkirk station.

The upper platform is finally built, and the platform amenities are preliminarily placed. Things are taking shape at Keppkirk station!
I plan to make a wavy blue design for the ceiling of the lower level, referencing Keppkirk's proximity to and relationship with the Tief (as well as adding some interestingness). Suggestions welcome

Noé Lopez@Parnikkapore omg the luanti posts are back
@baleine And now with more accessible commentary!
They're gonna be sporadic for quite a while though - life calls 
@Parnikkapore Is this on a server ?
@baleine Singleplayer, unfortunately
StormkeeperGU (ShM) 🇺🇦@Parnikkapore This is giving me ideas for a rail/transport network I was trying to build in a specific area of a specific map seed!
I did make some substantial progress with it a couple of years ago but unfortunately the map got deleted because it was on a host that deletes inactive servers after a few months of inactivity, so I think that this time, I'm going to set it up on a temporary self-hosted server to move to the self-hosted box I want to use for hosting game servers in the future!
@Parnikkapore Just to clarify, that was for Minecraft, but I have also been looking at "Minetest" too, to see what I was able to do there to open things up to more people!
@stormkeepergu Thanks for the kind words! Always better to own the data (...and have backups), heh? 
@Parnikkapore Very true! The server was meant as a temporary thing whilst I set up a dedicated server off my connection for it and other games, but I'm going to temporarily put it on my future Web server for now, as I can just move the world over when I'm ready!
