    Players are restricted from placing vehicles on restricted land. Two problematic scenarios are:

    1. players can't place boats down in the 500 block restricted area of the mining world. This makes for a very annoying swim instead of a pleasant boat ride to cross the water.

    2. Players cannot place a minecart on someone else's plot. This is problematic for towns that have built railway systems. Especially since it costs a very large amount of dei to lay the tracks. It would be preferable to be able to claim the plots that the tracks reside on so that people can't grief them. But then this means that players cannot use the tracks due to not being able to place the cart.

    Can this vehicle restriction be removed or lessened in some way?

    I'm rather interested in this topic as well.
    Seeing as a "subway" is being built in my town.

    Altinum is also in the process of building a subway system and we've run into the issue where we decided we simply can't claim street plots (subway runs under it) because of the minecart restriction. Though, some street plots have to be claimed in order to connect all town plots during purchasing (ie: buy one road plot to connect two grids of plots). This leaves us with areas of track where players can't place vehicles.

    Even more unavoidable is that our main subway station is under our spawn. This means that players have to start walking down the tunnels to place their cart instead of simply placing it at the convenient launch pads in the station :/

    I think the ItemUse Permissions should be lifted then.
    Then it'll be fixed.
    However, people can place bonemeal on the floor, I think. But that's not such a big problem :p
    Also, in ScarletDawn, the subway is already created :p
    Saves a lot of walking :O

    I wonder if it would stop you if you were in a cart that traveled thru a claimed plot?

    Do you think it possible to leave carts on the tracks? Or do you think that would encourage theft?

    No, it's just the fact of people placing the carts.

    Lol, they can fertilize our tracks all they want if it means they can place carts :)

    I know one problem the admins might have...consider the last mining world (not current swampytimes one) - it extended in 4 directions with railed bridges. I think someone could have stacked boats to block all paths...

    ok so people riding in a cart will pass on claimed area? Granted they don't jump out at the wrong time. :D
    Then would have to walk to an area to place the cart again.

    Yea, you will ride through a protected plot and not even know it. Though, if they jump out and try to get back on then they'll receive an error for permisisons.

    I'm confused on this part. I am sure that just yesterday I was able to place a boat down just right outside the shack. Perhaps it was a glitch? Otherewise, yeah, if the current permissions prevent people from putting down vehicles, I could see it being handy to have that changed.

    I was thinking about this as well since in future when my town - Minecraftia gets large we thought it best having a subway underground however you get this problem, you can't place minecarts so I wish something could be implented for this and allow people to place minecarts and boats.

    Railway systems are extremely useful for large towns it would be really effective if they werent disrupted

    I'm going to be helping a town with an incredibly advanced rail system (not to pat myself on the back, lol). The best solution I can think of is to have stations down the track--small sections that aren't protected--and don't put the main station right under the spawn...

    I would love to get the entire issue fixed with permissions though.

    Yeah, the last mining world was fairly ironic.. "Beware long walk... Use a boat!" "I told you this walk was long, you should have brought a boat!" "Using a boat makes travel much easier." *I try to place a boat and fall into the water* "You can not place vehicles." Lulwut?
