Land & Public Works

Reasons its not popular due to sl roads are not standarized all roads should point in same direction and not rotated 180 degrees out from each other curves should ben name same as rest of the roads no different same as intersections.

I realize it is probably a bit late in the event for this, but I hope the SL23B team and LDPW will take it to heart for future events. In SLB Astonish, The Wisteria Grove and the Orpheum Stage share a region and are within, for at least parts, 100 m of each other. When I was attending an event at Orpheum, we were constantly hearing shouts from the folks on stage at a concert happening at the Wisteria Stage. This felt very disruptive, but it is easily fixed. Two possibilities: One, in future ensure that two stages that will both be hosting events at the same time are not so close to one another. And/Or Two, at least during the events , uncheck "Avatars on other parcels can see and chat with avatars on this parcel", on one or both. Thank you for all your hard work on SL23B.

For this idea, I'm suggesting that 3-4 regions of abandoned mainland are built out as forest on each mainland continent. A 'real life' example might be something like a national forest found in the US. Each continent could have it's own theme for the forest (jungle, swamp, redwood, beachy?, etc.), and have trails/plants/flora/fauna. Each forest would have a small rez zone (so you can rez a bike or a horse or something). PROS You don't need to make any new regions. Claim 3 to 4 regions in areas that are mostly abandoned. Every mainland continent has spots like this. You add instant real estate value to all of those parcels near the new forest that didn't have any value before - a 'protected Linden Forest view' on the mainland would be awesome. Volunteers could build it. The precedent has already been laid for volunteers to build large scale events/projects in association with the Mole and Linden teams. I am confident that a call for volunteers would yield an amazing a list of mainland loving builders. Cost to build it would just be whatever time is needed for the Linden / Mole to keep an eye on how the builder team is doing. CONS I have no idea how you'd 'sell those parcels' near the forest in a fair way, but I'm sure there are lessons learned from 'the old days' about how to release new land for people to purchase etc.

I think that there should automatically appear a 1 sim navigable waterway around any land of the mainland. When mainland expands, the buffer 1 sim waterway should expand with it. This way, naviable waters are always available. If two lands join, elimating a waterway, it should appear in the closest edge to that lost one, making sure to provide a route around the lost waterway. Thanks!

I've not seen it in SL, but it could possibly be fun idea for the LL Moles to build. A British style canal network. Sure, on some suitable continent where there is some space available, or maybe Bellerissia. I as a boat builder would be happy to build a selection of canal boats, and I know a couple of other builders who have already built canal boats. Narrowboats as they are known, 6 foot 10 inches wide and 57 feet long (that could be scaled up by say 15% for SL avis), travel around a network of canals that are often only as wide as two or 3 boat widths. Allowing boats to be moored on the side, and others to pass. Locks that are often only one boat width take the narrow boats up and down gradients. Locks make the whole journey interesting, and could be fun in SL if done well. I'd be happy to get involved with designing and building some locks too. This could be a fun activity.

One of the biggest difficulties in SL, is exploring using a vehicle with a fuel system. Lot of individuals - Myself included - use vehicles with the fuel system enabled, and at some point...we're going to need fuel, and gas stations are sadly far and few between, especially in Bellisseria, where it's strictly residential. Having the ability to refuel our vehicle - be it aircraft, helicopter, car/truck or even boat - would I feel greatly increase the chances of people wanting to RP, travel and explore mainland SL.

I was so excited about my new land purchase...until I realized that I'd accidentally purchased USELESS land that I'd have to babysit constantly because no one is allowed to say a bad word or wear something "revealing", which is, every article of clothing sold in SL. UGH, now I have to wait for some other sap to accidentally purchase it, or abandon my hard earned money. Why oh why is G rated land STILL allowed at all? Why not put it on sims that people wouldn't visit anyway? At LEAST give a head's up to say- HEY! You're about to purchase a USELESS parcel! Are you sure you mean to do that?

This is only cosmetic. Almost all mainland regions have a 20m water height. Some inland regions have other water heights. which is fine. That's how mountain lakes and rivers work. There are four exceptions, regions at the edge of the world with non-standard water heights. This produces a discontinuity in SL's infinite ocean. These edge regions all have a 7m water height, instead of the usual 20m. Sandbox Wanderton Sandbox Cordova Sandbox Newcomb Sandbox Goguen They don't have deep lakes or anything. They're mostly flat land. This is probably some artifact from the early days of SL. It may not be worth fixing but is worth logging. Attached is a screenshot of what that does, from Firestorm. I happened to encounter this in Sharpview experimental viewer testing. It raised an internal warning and so I had to chase it down.

i was touring what remains of the right of way for the WARR. and believe that it could be put back in covering a least twenty sims and stopping at the coast. it could be done as there's one band and property and a small corner of one mass them that borders near the open water way that would need to be claimed in order for a deterrent to make it through cleanly the rest of it can run on parts of the roadway i definitely believe that this project could be done . i've listed the above sections that the be a problem or need negotiations . 2025-12-15 : Abandoned Land, Tiretta (241, 253, 75) - Moderate a small section of this parcel would need to be procured for as a train to go through. the parcel nearest this location would need a small section cut from it Linden Right of Way, Andraca (35, 28, 33) - Moderate for it to be used and this would be the end of the track http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Elpenor/106/51/42 which ends right at the roadway year the western coast at the south. i think it's very well could be done and only having to procure part of an abandoned land and talking to one you person who owns a part have a small section that could easily be split off not needing to take their entire land. linden lab could buy the small section off the land near Andraca (35, 28, 33) it definitely would be very cool and i'm very sure of that so parcells would be very interested and hooking up to the railroad .

I need to give direct feedback on the Ridgewood commercial release system because right now, it’s not working in a fair or realistic way. People are being forced to sit there for long periods, sometimes hours, just to spam refresh and try to click a parcel the second it becomes available. It’s not a proper release system anymore; it’s just luck and timing with who clicks faster or who’s got less lag. And on top of that, when land actually becomes abandoned, you still have to wait ages for the sign to even show. So by the time anything appears, people are already sitting there for hours watching and waiting for nothing. That is not a functional system for commercial land. It also creates unnecessary conflict between residents because everyone is under pressure doing the same thing at the same time, and people end up speaking to each other badly. That is a direct result of how this system is set up. The “7-day rule” enforcement also doesn’t feel consistent. We are told to send abuse reports, but parcels still stay claimed with no clear change, even after repeated checks over time. From the outside, it looks like inactive or unused spaces are just sitting locked while others can’t access them. At this point, the system feels unclear, slow to update, and not fairly managed. If the intention is first-come, first-served, then it still needs to be done in a way that is actually transparent and updated in real time, not based on waiting for signs and hoping you catch a window. This needs a proper review because right now it’s frustrating, inconsistent, and does not reflect a fair commercial allocation process.
