Welcome
to our first blog in 2023, which brings a lot of news.
As you may have already noticed, we have switched to a new server, which brings a significant increase in performance. Riding the train and building is now much more fun. We are currently working on various concepts on how we can make train operations interesting for you in the future. Accordingly, great preparations are currently underway to open our server this year. We'll reveal more about this soon, so stay tuned. 😉
Builder Team
The planned "construction sites" in Rödau are almost all completed and at the same time intensive work is being carried out in many other places. At present, the railway lines are being incorporated into the landscape and many details are being added to make travelling by train through our vast landscapes more attractive and varied.
Plans for new villages, cities and other operations are coming soon to further expand our world and create an extensive route network. If you also enjoy building and designing in Minecraft, just get in touch with us. We are happy about everyone who would like to join us, and with pleasure.
Modeler Team
In our vehicles, the basic concept has been revised and quality standards introduced, with the idea of establishing compatibility among the different models and modelers, with success! For this purpose, we use an elaborated concept by examining our vehicles after modeling using a checklist. The Modeler team leaders have worked out the concept with time and dedication and is constantly being supplemented, corrected and improved with new IR features.The concept includes, among other things, various standardizations and a body marking on the bogies of the vehicles, which makes it easier for the player to build the vehicles correctly by a red marking (direction of travel right) and green marking (direction of travel left), so that no errors occur and doors on passenger cars all open on the same side.
In addition, the modelers have added a lot of features that will significantly increase the fun. In addition, many new vehicles were added to the last server update, including an ICE 4. However, some vehicles have also disappeared. The Modeler team has set itself the task of relisting these vehicles and even offering them in a better version.
The modelers wish you a lot of fun with the new vehicle concept and the new features.
Network Team
The network team massively expanded the route network last year. Soon the mountain railway near Bad Spencer will be built in a construction event with many helping hands, we will write a small announcement internally when the time comes. In addition, in cooperation with the SPW server, a narrow-gauge railway is being built near Sankt Priel.
Thanks to the Modeler team, there are now also a variety of new rails on the server, which are gradually replaced to beautify the overall picture. The network team is currently working on site plans and other documents that will be relevant for railway operations at a later date. These also help to prepare for the upcoming update of the Signalmod. So that once the mod is updated, the signals can be quickly exchanged and connected to the interlocking to enable realistic railway operation.
Public Relations (PR) Team
The PR team recently consulted in a conference and collected many ideas to show you more of our project. Among them, our Youtube channel is to be reactivated and filled with a lot of content. So we hope to delight you in the future with short videos of train rides, introducing our world and other attractions. For this purpose, an intro and outro for the video format is being created.
Our other social media channels will continue to be filled with new content to show you even more of us. Be it posts, like the recently published Osterpost or this blog here. In addition, PR has reactivated its Twitter channel , which publishes more posts after a long period of inactivity.
On 21.03.2023 our server was 3 years old and our world celebrated its second anniversary at the beginning of the year. We would be happy if we have aroused your interest and you want to support us in this promising year and the coming years and become part of our team. We are open to new people in every area. Take a look at our Discord and apply as team members with us.
Thanks for reading and see you next post. Have you well,
The GIRC Team
