Conricsto is an unranked town owned by Conric005, located at I7 on the MRT Island Line. The town was founded on January 16, 2019; however, certain parts have existed since circa 2016. It is a small, fledgling town with a small road network and a few buildings.

Conricsto is near Segville and thus serves as part of the namesake for IntraRail's Segville-Conricsto yard.

History

Conricsto Police Station

Esplanade (2014–2017)

The history of Conricsto before 2019 is mainly unknown. The station was created during the opening of the New World in 2014. At some point in 2016 or 2017, SlimeGuy64 claimed the station and began working on a town in the area, creating a small pond around the station along with a bridge and a large sign stating the name of the town, Esplanade. There was also a small tunnel constructed through a large hill near the station, which now serves as the Conricsto Visitor's Center. SlimeGuy64 later went inactive, leaving the claim barren for a few years.

Foundation and early construction (2019)

In 2019, IntraRail began working on Siletz Salvador Station and was working on creating a connecting track to Segville and Zaquar Tanzanite Station. While making the track between Siletz and the roundabout connecting to Segville and Zaquar, it was discovered that the town at I7 was within 300 blocks of the rail line, which hindered progress. After talking with MRT Staff, it was decided that the town was insignificant development and someone could claim the area and give IntraRail the required permissions. KittyCat11231 asked Conric005 to claim the station, resulting in the foundation of Conricsto.

The sign outside the MRT station had its letters changed to Conricsto and a small parking lot was created outside the new Visitor's Center. The road network of Conricsto started with Main Street, which stretched from the MRT station to a short distance away from the newly created IntraRail track. Buildings such as the AstroCorp Regional HQ and the Conricsto Grass Block were created around this time. IntraRail also opened the Astro, a shuttle service between the newly opened Conricsto station and Siletz Salvador Station.

Rail expansion (2019–2020)

Progress on Conricsto stagnated for a period of time in 2019, but picked up again during the summer of 2020, when AutoDesignZ provided a new rail vehicle made for the Conricsto Metro along with the building for Main Street station. MCR had begun operations in the area, and MCR's underground Conricsto Station was opened for service. MCR also created an above-ground line that was planned to run through the town, and Conricsto Aboveground station was created. However, the station was located in a spot that would hinder the progress of the road network of Conricsto, resulting in the tracks being rerouted underground and the demolition of the station. As a result of Modgate, the town in an unfinished state for the remainder of 2020 and all of 2021.

Expansion and revitalization (2022)

At the beginning of 2022, Conric005 returned to the server with the motivation to complete the town of Conricsto, beginning with the opening of the Necluda Shopping Center. The current town hall was built on the old supports for the MCR overground line. The Conricsto Metro project was canceled the town being deemed too small to warrant a rail network. The city's transit was switched to a network of bus systems, with two lines planned at the beginning. The road network of Conricsto was also expanded with a section of road crossing underneath the MRT line, giving the town more room to expand. The B501 was completed, connecting Conricsto to the New World highway system through Matheson.

In the latter half of 2022, no development in Conricsto was completed.
