Construction of the railway#
The construction of the railway is carried out in stages and is divided into sections, the number and order of which depend on the server.
Construction mechanics#
Clones with a “Bourgeois” status or higher participate in construction. Construction requires only resources; stamina is not consumed. The resource contribution mechanics are identical to the general rules of cooperative development.
The same set of resources is used to build each section.
Table. Resources required to build one section of railroad.
| Resource | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Gold | 4000 |
| Iron | 10,000 |
| Chromium | 30,000 |
| Nickel | 30,000 |
| Wood | 40,000 |
| Stone | 40,000 |
| Oil products | 100,000 |
| Megalith | 125 |
Upon completion of construction, participants whose resources have been accepted receive railroad securities. Dividend accrual begins at the next settlement hour. Statistics for the 100 largest investors in the section are available.
Securities and income#
Upon completion of the section, railroad securities are issued, each worth one gold coin. They are automatically distributed among participants in proportion to their contribution and are not auctioned.
The securities have a five-year lifespan and generate daily income according to the standard dividend mechanism. The yield is listed in the “Dividends” section. The securities can be exchanged for railway coupons.
Additional features#
Owners of railroad securities can receive whitelists for pre-sales of future NFT collections. Whitelists entitle participants to participate in the pre-sale at a discount. Participation rights can be transferred or sold.
The Passenger Transportation Department offers recreational rides and prize drawings. A ticket is required to participate. Twenty percent of ticket sales go to the railway’s securities fund.
There are also plans to create a great tunnel connecting the servers as a long-term development element.
Repair#
The railway requires major repairs every five years. After the repairs are completed, a new batch of securities is issued.

| Resource | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Gold | 4000 |
| Iron | 10000 |
| Chromium | 30000 |
| Nickel | 30000 |
| Wood | 40000 |
| Stone | 40000 |
| Oil products | 100000 |
| Megalith | 125 |
Railroad Coupons#
Securities can be exchanged for coupons. One coupon is accrued for each day of the security’s remaining life.
Coupons are used to bid on railway cryptoboxes and can be traded on the commodity exchange. The nominal value of a coupon is 0.0001 gold coin.
Coupons can only be exchanged for new railway securities with a five-year term. 2,200 coupons are required for the exchange.
