Introduction
The highway was founded by pigintheforest on 30/11/2021. It started as an idea to build a castle to house pigintheforest, but the idea then changed from the thought of the extensive hard work that pigintheforest would have to complete.
Updates to the highway (Oldest -> Latest)
01/11/2021 - New entrance and afk area (and some expansion of the highway)
The new Castle Highway main entrance was made with ideas in mind of easy access to the highway. Features include lift signs (not ladders) and doors to keep the mobs out of the way.
"It took 5 mins to get a decent entrance design to fit and work. Overall it looks quite lovely" - pigintheforest
"Now I don't have to build useless dirt towers to get up to it and build the highway more. YAY!" - pigintheforest
The new Castle Highway main entrance was made for the ideal use of waiting out the night (even though it is well lit up) or if you need to be afk. Plans are to have lots of these little afk areas over the highway so that users of the highway can go afk for a while (e.g. while they eat lunch or on their way somewhere in game and want a place to keep themselves if they have to go afk).
Both ideas implemented by pigintheforest.
The new wall design, simply added two upside-down stairs to the little window-ish walls where the spruce fences are located at. This design was chosen as it gave more depth and a overall nicer look and feel to the highway.
"The carpets are a good feature too as the prevent mob spawning on the actual highway." - pigintheforest
Looks very crisp in the image, don't know why, don't ask questions heh.. The new walls also have that pog medieval feel to it. (That's why it's called Castle Highway).
All these features coming together make it a nicer highway every single time a new decision is made. So far only good ideas have been put into the build. The general purpose for the highway is to connect areas together (even though the exits may be 10-100 blocks away from the actual build to respect them if they ever wish to build stuff around it. So far, only positive feedback has been given, but piggie cannot wait to make this an even better highway as we expand the highway. Its going to be hard and time-consuming, but worth it.
Certain plans have been said like having an ice road underneath the main road for even faster travel.
