Farwater is a Senator city founded by diemundz, located at XE26 on the MRT Expo Line. Originally inspired by Los Angeles, California, Farwater shares many of the real-world city's characteristics, including its desert and beach location and road and freeway-based infrastructure.

Farwater was founded by diemundz in 2014 and is currently owned by McYoshi26.

History

Farwater was founded on October 4, 2014 – the opening date of the Gamma server. The town was intended to be built on a beach, and diemundz believed that the eastern terminus of the MRT Expo Line was an ideal location due to the quick accessibility through warp booths. The first building constructed was the LiterAlly Gas Station, and more buildings followed soon afterward, forming Downtown Farwater.

Farwater was designed with uniform standardization in mind, especially in its road system, so that it would be easier to expand and connect it to other cities as it grew. As the town grew, the B20 was expanded to both Ellesume and Los Angeles, and its auxiliary route, the B220, was completed, linking the new Westside neighborhood directly to Downtown via a freeway.

Farwater was promoted to Senator on June 25, 2016.

Geography

Farwater is located in Ward 2 in Gamma. Farwater is located in a desert biome and is on the southern coast of Vernal Lake.

Farwater's only direct neighbor is Los Angeles to the south. In relation to other nearby settlements, Aurora is to the east and Sesby is to the southwest.

MRT system

Farwater is located at the XE26 station, the former eastern terminus of the MRT Expo Line.

Farwater Skyway

The Farwater Skyway, known as the Desert Shore Highway outside of city limits, is an inter-city road that is part of B20. It serves the downtown and coastal areas of Farwater and is a faster alternative to the city's street system inside city limits. The road's eastern terminus is in the nearby town of Los Angeles, and its western terminus is in Ellesume. The road is four lanes wide throughout its entire length, constructed as a controlled-access freeway within city limits and an at-grade highway outside of the city.

Altos Skyway

The Altos Skyway is an intra-city road that is part of the auxiliary route B220. It serves the residential areas of Farwater's Westside neighborhood. It is a faster alternative to the city's street system, connecting the suburbs directly to the downtown area. In a short stretch in the Downtown and throughout most of Westside's residential area, the road is known as Altos Street, a two-lane grade-level road containing intersections with traffic lights. The remainder of the road is four lanes wide and is constructed as a controlled-access freeway similar to the Farwater Skyway.

Lanecra Landing Strip

Lanecra Landing Strip is an airfield serving the city of Farwater.
