I originally wanted to build it smaller, but to get the vaulted ceilings looking nice I had to keep expanding the width, and then it became too wide so I had to expand the length. I still need to figure out some of the ornate details to add into the walls to break up the grey featureless walls.

I had the advantage of using a netherite pick and I felt that my plan was a bit ambitious. The large sections that you had done now seem a lot more impressive. I have a new found respect for larger tunnel projects (and a lot less judgement for long undecorated tunnels).

There are still various details I need to complete, but the basic functionality is working. I also added a public entrance to this stop at 139, 127, -119 that still needs to be decorated and a road expanded to if anyone wants to do that (@bront if this project still interests you, it is now a smaller project). The track between the farming area station and the spawned inn station is all new tunnels. Therefore, I decommissioned the old line by turning off the lights (the tunnels are mob-proof already) and placing anvils at the end of the lines. Sadly, the decommissioned track is not that accessible from the community farm station, and is really only accessible from the spawned inn station.
@hamstergeddon I understand your decisions on tunnel decor a lot more after doing just this section. I am also a lot more impressed at your dedication in doing all the work you did in making the red line so early into the server.
Edit: The comically remote station entrance. The inside is better, I swear.

I will probably poke around sometime in the future and see if there are other ways I can try and improve the performance in that area. I have noticed that there are a few areas in town that does have some performance impact. It is a balancing act of building what we want wherever we want to as well as keeping the performance impact reasonable so that it is accessible to those with lower end systems.

At my house I am sitting at around 60fps, the big pig bakery as well I am sitting at 60fps, but town square I am sitting around 20-30fps. There is a lot of stuff in that area that could be the culprit. I checked with GravySleeve and they also noticed town square being choppy. The biggest offenders are probably community storage, villager trading hall, and the new maps (since item frames can be a bit resource intensive). There may also be something else occurring in town that could be resource intensive.
@creesch, until we figure out the culprit, it might be a good idea to hold off on a larger map room in town that you have mentioned considering doing.

I have learned that cathedral vaulted ceilings are a pain to do in minecraft at a smaller scale both in figuring out how to do it, and then in repeating the design.
@Bront I am planning on making an entrance to the transit stop that will not be in my base. This entrance will be at roughly 132, -122, so there is the option to have a road to a northern transit stop roughly where you were planning on building the road.

Having a NAS is really convenient, especially if there are multiple users or devices on your network. This post is a good reminder that I should start planning out a rebuild of my server since it is underpowered and the storage situation could use some improvements.

I know Bront was considering adding a northern stop and a road to help encourage development in the north. I talked with Bront on the server today and Bront is fine with me changing the line placement instead of their plan. Honestly, I would love to see more development in the north side of the river, but honestly I am realizing now it is pretty limiting to specific projects.

In particular I am planning on modifying the northern section which runs between the community farms stop and the spawn inn. My plan is to move the line roughly 60 blocks south so that it is in close proximity to my house and then add a transit stop inside my house. The entire reason for this addition is I want an easy way to move between town center and my house when I forget my horse and there is no transit stops near my place.

Your final column in the east has nothing of value, so pushing it over one in the west would allow the map to display the full volcano. Also dropping the final row in the south and expanding one row in the north would probably allow for chew and zzotto to be included in the map and would only lose Godzilla

Since my programming experience has only been in school, I have not had to take on a larger codebase that I need to modify and debug. The project I am working on is a fork of someone's personal project, so code comments are minimal. So I have been slowly piecing together all the project libraries it is using and for which. I have a rough understanding of the overarching concepts, so now I am creating a flow chart of the different app pages and trying to figure out which methods are called and when.

Edge cases like someone peeing themselves should not prevent any progress from being made, but detecting everything may be harder than expected.
There is also developer prioritization. Should developer time be spent on creating an automated system to check cleanliness of the interior or should it be spent making the self-driving algorithm safer? Personally I would rather the time and money go towards safer driving algorithms, but I am biased since I am strongly against Tesla making everyone on the road beta testers for their self-driving features (especially after them removing Lidar to save money). I would say that Waymo appears to be developing self-driving in a more conservative manner that I trust their self-driving development process more than Tesla's.

The first bug to tackle is to get it to properly auto launch, which will make further debugging a smoother process. Once I get some of these major bugs worked out, I will create and share a demo video.
Here is a picture showing the current state of the hardware with the application running. Currently the HDMI cable and USB cable are needed to help launch the program as auto launch is currently not working. Once that is working, neither of those cables will be needed. I also still need to configure my usb dac/amp, but that is a simple process I have done already earlier in the process. I also still need to get my battery connected, which I have a charging controller for a 14500 battery cell, I just need to buy the battery itself still (which I am hoping I can locally source).
Edit: I have it auto-launching now, which will help me in debugging as it will be quicker to deploy the code once I have a fix I want to test
Edit 2: I figured out the worst offending bug is due to a project dependency changing. All calls to the Spotify API are handled using the Spotipy package, but it appears that it hs been reworked since the version my project was using. The functions being called in the program are not in the documentation, so I will need to rework some of these deprecate methods with the newer versions. Overall, the project I am forking seems to be lacking documentation so it is giving me experience in taking a large codebase and having to figure out how it all works together.

IsildursBane Link ParentThere is not really an easy way to do that with the existing system. If we want more bamboo products autocrafted it is probably best to make a dedicated farm that crafts multiple things.There is not really an easy way to do that with the existing system.

The original plan was for it to produce a bit to feed shulker crafting for bulk storage and then an additional amount would overflow into storage for use. However, it crafted way more chests than necessary, so I have removed most of the bamboo plants. If someone is needing a lot of hoppers or chests for a project, feel free to add the bamboo plants again. I have added access to this farm by adding a door on the right side of the input chests down at the bottom.

The lava dispensing would be part of the normal operation of the chicken farm.My guess is that someone disabled the chicken farm by removing the chickens as a chicken farm is no longer needed.

Thank you. Minor nitpick, can we please change the marker of the station from "Red Line: IsildursBane" to "Red Line: Cathedral Hall Station"? I know that this line is primarily done to service me (hence directly incorporating it into my house), but I did add a public entrance to help serve others if there ends up being more builds in the north.
