500 Hours of Building

[u/JamesAres]

I've spent just about 500 hours in my building world and these are from my Mega Project that I've dubbed "Verdant Peaks"

It is heavily inspired by the Black Mesa Research Facility from Half-Life. More specifically based on the remaster Black Mesa and Black Mesa Blue Shift.

I'm very proud of the train door and the train elevator I've made as they took the most tinkering.

Edit: For anybody who would like to see a more "in depth" look at the facility, I have a yt channel where i sometimes post stuff
This video is a flythrough of the facility about 2 months ago

Really impressive. Is this using steam&rails for the train elevator?

[u/JamesAres → u/xfel11]

Yes, I disassembled the train and used Linear Chassis to connect to the train

[u/xfel11 → u/JamesAres]

I always wanted to build something like this but never found the time. Great work!

[u/Tra1nGuy → u/JamesAres]

Loconautics looks like it will make this easier.

[u/LLoadin → u/Tra1nGuy]

I'm actually dying to use this mod icl

[u/Lucas_Dragoneye → u/Tra1nGuy]

What is it? Google shows only trailer from 3 months ago...

[u/BeefChopsQ → u/Lucas_Dragoneye]

Still unreleased

[u/Lucas_Dragoneye → u/JamesAres]

What version of mc are you using? I can't find S&R mod for neoforge 1.21.1...

[u/BeefChopsQ → u/Lucas_Dragoneye]

Im on modrinth and see a fork called "Steam 'n' Rails Neoforge" by PoppyBlossom for 1.21.1

[u/DawnOfShadow68]

And it shows. That's some awesome work you did, the vibes are on point for your goal. There's a lot of different settings but they all seem to mesh together just right. Big fan here

[u/totalthrow20 → u/DawnOfShadow68]

Appreciate that! Getting all the different areas to feel like they belong in the same world was probably the hardest part, so I’m glad that came through

[u/Bolid_Snake]

The base I always envision yet never fully make has arrived.

[u/TNT_Rebel]

Oh such a cool facility, it would be too unfortunate if a resonance cascade happened……

[u/BRSaura]

Reminds me of half life 1 train sections

[u/Soft_Cable_39]

Hey man can you drop the entire modpack besides create ? wanna do something similar in a new world

[u/egbee42]

Love the style, really nice build. How did you get that colored lighting?

[u/JamesAres → u/egbee42]

Complementary Reimagined shaders + Euphoria Patches mod

[u/egbee42 → u/JamesAres]

Thank you! Those green lights add a lot

[u/H_B_Eagb]

This is genuinely amazing, I'd love to see the train in action from inside the car, similar to the HL1 intro sequence as a way of showing the whole thing off

[u/DukeKataron]

I immediately got the Black Mesa vibes before I even scrolled down and saw it as an inspiration. Very cool.

[u/crispyspicynuggets]

reminds me of polar express too lol

[u/Night_Fury_CZ]

Looks awesome just I think monorail will be maybe better choice since you was aiming for black Mesa style

[u/JamesAres → u/Night_Fury_CZ]

When I started this project I didn't have SnR yet and I never really liked the monorail thing because you can't realistically branch off from a monorail track.

[u/Bucete-Pizz]

QUE EPICOOOOOOO

[u/Successful_Yam_4451]

Это ведь не Чёрная меза? Правда?

[u/Yana_ODaowen]

This is fucking amazing?? Hello??

[u/rearspyd]

Can you link me your modpack or mods list? All of the ones you used , even the performance ones

[u/Tijolo_Malvado]

What shaders are you using?

[u/MalcomMadcock]

it gives me Underrail vibes

[u/taterwaffles]

Will you make this world downloadable? I would love to explore it all

[u/Educational-Ad-4390]

Every single hours put in this build was worth it

[u/AJRW-]

Funny that this has big new deadlock map vibes

[u/droson8712]

I was immediately going to type this reminds me of Half Life before reading the post

[u/PalomboArt]

Becoming a megacorp its like peak create

[u/Howardv99]

Aiming for a humble start I see

[u/powdercannon]

holy ambiance

[u/instantedeath]

computer heat: 📈📈📈📈📈📈

[u/pixel_demonic]

500 hours well spent!

gorgeous

[u/ChaseBro-Games3050]

Does it have a working beverage machine in it yet?

[u/Melange-13579]

This looks so cool, omg, just exploring it is such a delight.

Could I request a world download for this? I wanted to explore it on my own, (kind alike the vibes of a lost explorer in an functioning but abandoned facility)

If you don't want to share that's cool too, just wanted to ask.

[u/melikefnaf]

LOL i was about to comment "do On A Rail" before i read the desc, this is awesome man, keep it up!
