Hi, I would like to work on industrial areas in Brownstone, Stanton --example user

That sounds great, someone is working on detailing housing in the area so try not to alter that. --coordinator (fake)

Greater Stanton discussion

Airports

We've talked about this before, but the wiki is a good place to finalize things. The airports in the Stanton could definitely be moved around to create something more realistic and cohesive. Based on previous conversations in the FSA and Eastern Server discords, it seems like we have two options:

a) Airports serve Northern/Southern Stanton regions- Move Fiornio International Airport to Stanton International's current location (with a rotation to prevent conflict with Hestrom International in Warwick) and move STI southwards to Stanton Belleville Airport's location. FIA and HIA serve similar regions but this can potentially be justified historically.

b) Airports serve western Carnaby Valley and South- Move Fiornio International to Stanton Belleville's location, and move STI to around Mackleboro in Effinger County. First part is one of TheMayor's old suggestions, the second part being Alessa's.

Either of these can be modified, the main thing is which parts of Stanton these airports serve. I figure we can also vote here if necessary. --Fluffr Nuttr (talk) 19:33, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Stanton Soft Reboot 2025

Stanton soft reboot plan

After receiving feedback from multiple people on the current state of Stanton, I've made a sketch of changes I would like to have implemented.

  • Hydrology: Arbor River (very similar name to Alder River, potentially could be renamed) is rerouted down what's labeled as the Sawmille River, getting rid of some topographic issues. The Arbor River through Sloppers would flow to Pawling-on-Carnaby or Melstone. The Autumn River in SoCar would be rerouted to flow north into the Carnaby. That way it doesn't flow "backwards", and the SoCar neighborhood can stretch further southeast.
  • Rail: Lines are rerouted to interrupt neighborhoods less and minimize crossings over the Carnaby River. The one rail bridge across the Carnaby is new, preceded by a railroad barge system. Historically, commuter rail rail (New Carnaby Regional Rail) was split into North, South and East branches, with through routing for intercity trains added later. Stations are moved around to adjust for these factors. Prescott Station will be deleted, donated and/or recycled into the new South Station. As is, it's a chokepoint. Will be detagging subway lines as well, so they can be adapted as mappers see fit once neighborhoods are more developed.
  • SoCar and Squirrel Hill street grid: adjusted to account for Stanton's historical expansion southeast and northwest from the core. The grid in the grey area would be more organic than it is now, and largely oriented southeast/northwest. Features such as the University of Stanton and MetroCity Park will be preserved.
  • Memorial Park: Replaced by a larger park around the rerouted Autumn River and Autumnhead Reservoir. This is connected to the Carnaby River shoreline by a walkway and thin strip of parkland around the Autumn River.

This sketch serves as the start to what I'm evisioning as a "soft reboot" of Stanton. Future projects to be included in this will likely include the Stanton subway system, commuter and freight rail, motorways, adjustments to Fiorino International Airport, and general plans for Belleville and New Colsex Counties.

I've polished up the collaborative framework section of the collab page, with Stanton in mind. If you want to participate in Stanton, you can list yourself as a participant in the list of counties. Anyone can do detail work this way. The larger infrastructure projects mentioned here will be added to the Generalized Projects table and can be claimed there.

Feedback is appreciated. --Fluffr Nuttr (talk) 00:13, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
