The proposed extension is IMO quite natural for a local connection between Nordstetten and SmushyVille given that the line is already being expanded to serve a (planned) tree farm. That said, given my existing projects (and the lack of materials to complete these projects) this extension will likely not be materialized in the short term. 2025-10-28T21:10:07.443772+00:00 y5nw@DC Colors for new stations: 2025-10-28T21:10:07.443772+00:00 y5nw@DC * Cyan: station in construction (extension to the planned tree farm) 2025-10-28T21:10:07.443772+00:00 y5nw@DC * White: proposed new stations 2025-10-28T21:10:07.443772+00:00 y5nw@DC * Dark blue: potential new stations 2025-10-28T21:10:07.443772+00:00 y5nw@DC https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1305670339132391434/1432838868419477636/2025-10-28-21-35-11.png?ex=690282af&is=6901312f&hm=fa0efe90d8731cef828397c605df6f84b3bccb0b814fbae22b9d23d8667c9b16& 2025-10-28T21:29:23.824278+00:00 y5nw@DC Rationale for the proposed stations: 2025-10-28T21:29:23.824278+00:00 y5nw@DC * The planned tree farm can be expected to expand to the west as it it the only sensible option given the area limits. A new station west of the current tree farm station would allow easier access to such an expansion. 2025-10-28T21:29:23.824278+00:00 y5nw@DC * A station near the lake could potentially make way for a future settlement, but the terrain in the area is not particularly easy to work with (hence its status as a potential station) 2025-10-28T21:29:23.824278+00:00 y5nw@DC * A station along E2/OEX would allow an easier connection between Spawn and and western parts of Nordstetten as it reduces the number of transfers needed. 2025-10-28T21:29:23.824278+00:00 y5nw@DC * A potential station to the north-west of the SV market could allow extending the street grid up to the mountain. This would involve city planning in SV, hence the status as a potential station.
