• Quote from u/JacinthJoy on the rail line between Ravenport and Lio

“Beyond Lio, GordonFreemanQ built the rail further south towards Ravenport. I actually had nothing to do with that rail line other that coordinating with Gordon to meet up in the Lio station.” Posted February 27th 2014

• Quote from u/brinton – Chancellor of The Isle of Arran about the area around Hobbiton and Ravenport

"As for the greater minus plus, I think it may eventually revive. There's just so much good real estate here. The biomes are so perfectly interleaved to be interesting. I'm glad we had our early brush with civilization, and I don't know if the early part of the game would have been as fun or as filled with achievement without Hobbiton, Lio, Vector, and Ravenport.” Posted 27th August 2013
