Well first and foremost it's just dumb. There's a reason why cities aren't shaped like that. The shape is also unsustainable unless you ban any settlement in close proximity of the Line

[@DakotaActually]

OOOOOOOOH. The big platforms allow you to build above non-solid objects. So you can build until just below the platform height, place the non-solid buildings, the plop the platform down instead of building right on top of it like previous floors. To quote a wise man, "It'll give us so much extra space in our room to do activities."

All they would need to add is a pump that is ALSO a water storage and requires no beaver. But DOES require power.

When I first heard about The Line I assumed they meant it was going to just be a series of mass transit stops where a small town would grow up, and then along the way people would naturally settle because services are available because they can branch off the main trunk.

So, Space Engineers 2 will have water physics, sand grains, wind, volcanos, and everything Space Engineers 1 has.

Something I do is blow a channel out with dynamite, run the power in the ground, and then put platforms over it. Saves a lot of space when you need to run power. I do the same for buildings you can build on. Blow out a rectangle, put the building down in the ground, build on top.
