Scene everyone thought a fax line would be interesting I thought YES so I'm going to get on that if anyone chould help that whould be greatly appreciated

I tested the idea over ~1000 blocks, works fine, though good luck getting the glass to make anything longer. Also, whats to prevent people from griefing the fax line (saying it goes long distance?) Even if you hide it, someone could still theoretically find it underground and just break it. If you make something over 1000 blocks long that means checking every single block.. Its a good idea in theory, but the practical use over any semi-long or long distance just seems really inefficient, might as well just fly form point A to B.

I have a solution for line greafing
1.Ask a mod/admin to make it locked
2. Use have a security system

1. Have it locked? If mods are going to go around locking everything i'd like to have all my houses world guarded
2. What type of security system? Place water around it?

All things considered, if the effort was wanted, he could make a fault tolerant system for it.
So basically all points connect to all points, i mean yeah a central hub to make things faster, but any system would ideally have fault tolerance no matter the circumstance. While the redundancies would be a nuisance, it would help keep that tolerance and should it break at times, then yeah, check all the lines and report the griefs. Its a cool idea, and i would love to see this come to fruition, especially with town destination selection, but still, the requirements, time, and resources would be very intensive.

Maybe if it was built in the sky? Its harder for new players that dont seem to know the rules >.> to get up there because they dont have fly cause they dont have it unless bought. I could help with glass too V0nn

to fix grief and to check lines shoot a test item through the piped and see if it is received
