Minecraft - (EATS) Proof Of Concept
EATS = Etho's Advanced Transportation System
This is just a simple proof of concept of a new highly structured boat transportation system I am designing. All complex transportation systems in minecraft so far have used mine carts. While still a little rough, I feel this boat transportation system may actually possess more potential than mine cart systems.
Some key elements of this system include 2-way traffic that can handle many users at a time, controlled 4-way intersections, the ability to merge roads together in a grid pattern, maximum speed transport, and abandoned boat handling allowing a rider to get off at any point.
Balance is kept in this system by opposites. Example: If 1 lane is flowing North, the other is flowing South. If 1 lane has a water elevator, the other lane should have a drop. If 1 lane has boat dispenser, the other lane should have a boat return, etc.
Let me know what you think and let me know how you feel it compares to mine cart systems. (both pros and cons)
