Article 1. Stations
The WVTA mandates that every station within the West Vincent Transit Network follow these specifications. Stations in italics may opt out due to location and stations marked with an asterisk are administered by the WVTA.

1.1: Affected stations

• Aegis station
• Angstrom station
• * Chargaff station
• Edison station
• Faraday station
• * Fermi station
• Fiore Ranch station
• * Fleming station
• Hooke station
• Kepler station
• Lavosier station
• Mendel station
• * Midway station
• Voltaire station

1.2: Where to place signs [this section is currently being drafted, please voice any concerns]
Signs are to be placed exactly six blocks away from the entrance/exit of each station, and 1 block above the ground. If 6 blocks from the station entrance/exit is not an ideal location for a sign, it may be placed 6 blocks from the green wool, or if there is no green wool, between 6 and 20 blocks from the dispenser and/or buffer. If there are more than one sign, signs are to be placed at 2 block increments leading away from the station.

Article 2. Signs [this section is currently being drafted, please voice any concerns]
Each sign must use appropriate formatting for each situation.

2.1: Sign formatting

Are you located in either West Vincent or the Central Supercluster? You don't need to follow West Vincent specifications if you're in any other Administrative Region, and you can opt out if you're on the border, or in the Central Supercluster.

That being said, I will go ahead and create a tutorial, and your station can be added as an Associated Station if you would like.

 

I doubt it, he uses inferior South Vincent naming scheme. West Vincent superior!

And the central supercluster uses the best naming system, even better than West Vincent.

 

How far east of voltaire? Voltaire is in west vincent, yes. Don't worry about any of this at the moment, because 1) it's a draft, so it hasn't been put into effect yet and 2) I will come by and fix it when needed.

 

Triforest falls under South Vincent authority, yuck.

 

There are no passport mandates at any WVTA stations that are enforced by the WVTA. The Republic of Sedora has a mandatory passport check at the westbound exit, which is enforced by the Republic of Sedora, not the WVTA. (put simply: the passport check is a thing of my country, it has nothing to do with the rail network).

The WVTA only mandates the following:

1. There is, at minimum, a 3 by 3 wide hole for the rails to pass through. (tunnels must be 3x3 blocks). Text example (cross section): [_]
2. If the terrain is too low for a tunnel, the line should be adjusted appropriately to match the average (preferably median) height of that terrain. Text example (side view): _,-
3. If the median is the same height as the rail is already, the terrain should be cut through instead, with slopes at a 67° incline. Text example (cross section): \_/
4. The bed of the rails must be made of stone bricks, unless it is a station or a booster. Stations may use any block, boosters obviously use yellow wool.
5. The two blocks to either side must be made of gravel, unless it is a bridge, where they may be made out of any material.
