Don't right understand what you mean with your
last comments, the new tracks are planned out
and have a sense

The thing with building tracks which cost money
sounds good when you hear it for the first time,
but there would be tons of problem, so I decided
to not make it so. Problems:
- people build tracks which don't fit; they would need
to be removed, but the owner has worked a lot for
it and would be very angry if it gets removed even if he
gets back some iron that he need to pay for building
the track
- while building tracks is fun, they always look
misplaced if you don't do it with level editor
- such big tracks like from mount antora to santerrain
mean a lot of npcs, but when placed with the
railroad tool they are dynamic objects, meaning
abuse of database space and npcserver work,
so its better to directly add them with level editor
if it gets big
- if someone has payed for building the railroad tracks
he wants to get some money by charging for railroad
use, but then it's not really fun to use the tracks anymore
if its just shorten the way (imagine railroad tracks never
used)
- good railroad tracks need stuff like train stations
and may be fences, both not easy to make with the
railroad tool
