Serious Routes

Tired of loading home street after home street for only a handful of disorganized resources? Are you spending more time searching for those few trees you're after than you are actually harvesting them? If you're serious about gathering resources, Serious Routes are for you.

Serious Routes mandate a minimum of 12 units of the route type, and most of our members have the maximum possible (e.g. 15 for trees). This means less loading, less searching, and more harvesting. Simply put, you get more, faster.

We are currently accepting members to all routes listed on the site. Our tree routes use the top sign and our other routes use the bottom, so as to allow members to also participate in the corresponding HRR routes (which use the opposite). If you're interested in joining a route, please contact the route's curator.

And if you're interested in curating, joining, or just using a Serious Route that doesn't exist yet, let us know!

edit: You can find the new Serious Routes thread here: http://www.glitch.com/forum/offtopic/23804/

  • I got 25 stacks of bubbles from the Srs Bubbles route in an hour, it was awesome. I need to redo the egg route and see what kind of numbers we have now.

  • On Animal Lag: I seem to lag more on streets where animals aren't tethered, on streets where animals are controlled via  a stick, it doesn't seem to be as bad.

    When I first arrive on a home street with lots of animals that aren't tethered, the lag is really noticeable, maybe those with many animals who aren't tethered might want to do so. 

    In other news, I may be one of the few people who actually likes animals on the different routes. I do interact with them, might be one of the few who does.

  • I'm interested in being on a Serious Metal route if somebody else wants to curate it.
    Posted 6 months ago by Dulcinea Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I am +1'ing the serious pork route. 30 may be a smidge high though...maybe 20 - 25 and spread out a little or free roaming for efficient porking (heh).

  • What's going on with the bean route? I mailed wuilyl but got no reply and I see others have been added.

  • shelleycat: Go ahead and point your top sign to Realist and I'll let wuilyl know to add you :)

  • @Dr. No-No I have one suggestion for your Piggy Porkway, you should make it a requirement to set Piggy Sticks to Very Tight. For an in depth explanation as to why this should be a requirement please see my topic here:

  • @Dr No-No : I can qualify for Serious Pork where I can't qualify for Piggy Porkway.
    Posted 6 months ago by Yog-Sothoth Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @TRB4 : You are a genius. I was just talking about preferring more open sticks or free roaming, because it is easier to click through, but I never picked up on the fact that the pigs maintain their order! I definitely owe you a beer :)

  • My 40 piggies are now also controlled by a very tight Piggy Stick - happy nibbling
    Posted 6 months ago by IrenicRhonda Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey everyone I'm so glad to see that many of the home streets that I looked at earlier, and subsequently skipped due to scattered piggies, are now using Very Tight Piggy Sticks! This makes me so happy! I really feel as if I am directly responsible for a major change in people's use and management of a specific resource ^_^

  • Anyone interested in starting up a serious firefly route?
    Posted 6 months ago by Milly21 Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Lx Hey! I just filled my street with gas trees. And I got Cecily on my top sign. Where should we go from here?Edit: As well as a the full list of Icons, so that will make ruminating simple. 
    Posted 6 months ago by RidingPenguins Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I too, have now tied up my 40 piggies to one spot. Mostly because a new, easier way of nibbling them was discovered for very tight posts. Should help with the lag, except of course when you get to the spot where the pigs are tied to, but they're conveniently at the far end of the street for that reason. :)

  • @Dulcinea: I would - we just need a third one for a Serious Metal Route then =)

  • Dulcinea & scheijan: Jurkowski has also expressed interest in joining a Serious Metal route. Just need to find yourselves a curator :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Lx’s Ghost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd like to join the bean route too if that's alright.
    Posted 6 months ago by tailgate Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I've updated my sign thanks Lx. I'm possibly in a slightly weird time zone which probably isn't helpful!
    Posted 6 months ago by shelleycat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • And now it looks like I'm linking to the wrong person? When I asked to join several days ago I didn't realise it would be so confusing and difficult. What am I doing wrong?
    Posted 6 months ago by shelleycat Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ah, I'm terribly sorry, shelley, I forgot that you were still in line to join and ended up telling yoshihiko to point to the same person... you haven't done anything wrong, it's completely my fault. I'll have yoshihiko fix her sign to point to you, since you asked first. Also, I believe wuilyl was out of town for several days, which may explain why you didn't receive any response from her. Again, sorry for the inconvenience; just hang tight and I'll have this sorted out!

  • I haven't read all these post but I have a 137 herb plot garden full of rubeweed that I would like to share.

  • shelleycat: You've now been added to the route! Sorry for all the trouble, and welcome to Serious Beans :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Lx’s Ghost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • All tree routes have now exceeded an average of one bigger bag (4k) of resources, and spice and gas are at approximately 3 bigger bags!
    Posted 6 months ago by Lx’s Ghost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hi, please add me to your Serious Bubbles route, I have 13 bubble trees and will probably add another when my metal rock dies! Thanks x

  • Kitkatty, please get in touch with Havok Summers (the Serious Bubbles curator) if you haven't already; she might not catch your post here!

  • I'm interested in joining the Serious Spice route. I have 12 spice plants and will add more as I expand my yard.
    Posted 6 months ago by Strike Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hyacinth and I have started a Serious Wood route. We're the only ones currently on it. Anyone want to join us?
    Posted 6 months ago by Pixley Subscriber! | Permalink
  • i've got a yard full of spice, would love to join that route :)

  • I'd be interested in curating Serious Herb Route.  Does anyone have that role yet?  (I'd have to re-do my street first, of course :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Litenup Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Pixley: Would either you or Hyacinth be interested in curating it?

    Litenup: You're more than welcome to! I'm not sure what a reasonable minimum for garden routes should be yet, but all our other routes require 12 items, which is generally 70-80% of the maximum possible, so maybe we can use that as a guideline? I'm open to suggestions!

  • EDIT: Never mind!
    Posted 6 months ago by Lx’s Ghost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • For the Serious Herbs, I think somewhere around 100 herb garden plots sounds appropriate.  The most I think can fit on one street is 140, but I have run out of img to truly find out for myself.  These plots costa lotta imagination!  Right now I have only 76 plots so I have a bit to go.
    Posted 6 months ago by Litenup Subscriber! | Permalink
  • 140 garden plots does appear to be the maximum, and 100 sounds like a reasonable "serious" minimum to me (and a nice round number to boot), so let's go with that! If anyone would like to start or join either a Serious Herbs or Serious Crops route, get yourself at least 100 plots :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Lx’s Ghost Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hi! I would love to join the egg route! I already messaged Atlantis and my street is full of eggy goodness :)
    Posted 6 months ago by Sharmy Knope Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Since piggies (especially stacked as more people are doing) don't really take up an entire yard, what about a special icon beside member names on the Serious Routes homepage denoting a yard with a large stack of pigs?

    People who have issues with lag could route around these yards and those of us searching for a little more porky goodness in our lives could route to those yards quickly from the links on the page.

    (and really, Lx, beautiful work.  thanks for all of it!)
