Raspberry Crystal Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Looking at this I'm not sure how likely it seems, but I've been wondering if we do get the four new themes if they might have their own continent elsewhere, such as tucked under Satori. There does seem to be a neat empty space there. It just doesn't seem to connect to existing Belli that well, though there is one straight sea route. I'm not sure after what's been said before if a long , and otherwise empty sea route would be a viable option. Anyone else been playing around like this? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's already almost, if not more track than Heterocera SLRR. And there are some nice variety of direction switches also, so it's not just one big loop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That half completed bridge in SSPE1040 has a surprise in it. The actual completed railroad bridge will be on the side of the road bridge.

Alyona Su Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The BelliSLRR is almost complete! Only a couple spot left to tweak, many of the road-crossing gates aren't working yet (though many are), and the junction switches aren't working yet. But ALL the track is alive. I went from Campsite rez zone to Campwich Forest near the lodge, did a full loop (all the way around and until I returned to Campwich) - then continued again until, at the junction to go south, I had to cheat (Edit to place myself on the southbound tracks, because the switch isn't working) - then went along on my merry way all the way over the mountain pass, then down through Willow Tree country to the station at the very bottom of Bellisseria. And it's a beautiful, nay: gorgeous drive the entire trip! Edited January 27, 2020 by Alyona Su 19 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nika Talaj Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Time for a geography exercise! The new development area at SSP1001 has grown, and is now 7 regions high. Previously, when LL moved new stuff from the SSP area down to actual Belli, they showed up in the same place, relative to existing Belli land mass, as they occupied up in SSP. We have this old picture from Dec. 30, showing the SSP1001 area relative to SSP Belli, which of course was then intact. Extrapolating from that pic, if we took today's SSP1001 area and dropped it into the corresponding space on ACTUAL Belli, this is how it would look. The new vertical band of regions (SSPE1048-1052) has been terraformed and textured, in fact SSP1050 already has Vics all over it, but in this pic it's useful that SSP1048 is still showing as pale land on the map. We have been speculating that SSP1001 was a development area for a new theme. If so, there's not much space for a barrier between it and VictoriBelle! Of course, it's hard to believe that there's any technical constraint saying that they have to drop SSP1001 etc. into an area corresponding to the space it occupied relative to SSP Belli; perhaps it'll be dropped elsewhere. Or perhaps there will be a smooth transition from VictoriBelle into the new theme. Interesting. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Since there is quite a bit of room to expand east it's quite possible I think. Not sure if this has been mentioned already but there are two (new?

Interesting factoid: if one were to position the SSP1001 etc. regions as I pictured, the east edge of that block would align exactly with Belli's current farthest east regions, in the Squishy Pickle (see Bilgewater). 19 hours ago, Evangeline Arcadia said: Not sure if this has been mentioned already but there are two (new?

Or maybe just a really rocky region (I kill me) Actually, the Test Region 1-4 block up there is fairly new, or perhaps fairly recently returned, to the grid. I assumed they were QA, altho it's a little intriguing that they have a green screen above them. And I was also interested to see that someone was up in SSP83X today. Last time it was discussed in this thread was Oct-Nov, we were speculating about what turned out to be the Vics in it's upper left corner. @Daniel Voyager posted a series of photos of its evolution. It ended up looking basically as it looks today. I'm wondering about the rest of it now. Yes, those look like campers, but ... 2 next to each other? @Alyona Su speculated at the time that they were Super Premium parcels. Wild speculation alert: Are we looking at a mockup of a swift transition between a Vic region and theme 5? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
