'''Operation Signpost''' refers to an expansive map of the railway system in [[SpongeCraft Classic]], created by [[dmandaman]] over the course of mid-March 2025. It was first suggested by [[Zaid]] after dman's mapping of the [[Spongecraftian Highway System]], and the name itself was coined by [[HawkbitAlpha]] after the signposts that mark each intersection in the railway. It is presented as a list of intersections starting from 001, and increasing the further you are away from the [[Grand Spongecraftia Directory|Grand Spongecraftia Directory 3.0]]. Operation Signpost does not include more complex sections of the railway that are typical in major cities such as [[Historic Spongecraftia City]] and [[International Village]]; it is more commonly present in the empty stretches between locations throughout [[Spongecraftia]].
'''Operation Signpost''' is the name given to [[dmandaman]]'s efforts to comprehensively document the railway system of [[SpongeCraftia]]. It first began in March 2025 as a suggestion by [[Zaid]], after dman's mapping of the [[Spongecraftian Highway System]]. It is presented as a list of intersections starting from 001, and increasing the further you are away from the [[Grand Spongecraftia Directory|Grand Spongecraftia Directory 3.0]]. Operation Signpost does not include more complex sections of the railway that are typical in major cities such as [[Historic Spongecraftia City]] and [[International Village]]; it is more commonly present in the empty stretches between locations throughout Spongecraftia.

After discovering that [[Askrstorr&action=edit&redlink=1|Askrstórr]] was the only major location in the Directory 3.0 that was unreachable by the connected railway system, yet still had a railway leading to [[Fichtenwald]] and the [[Salty Seas|Salty Seas Nation]], dman established this post. Although there is an intersection here, it is disconnected from the rest of the railway system and thus you cannot return to the Directory from Askrstórr by railway alone, hence the name Post ∞.

After dman completed his list, some railway was expansion done by [[Crushingmayhem]] in [[Outland Spongecraftia]]. Labelling these new intersections would lead to his list being unsorted, so dman instead decided to give them alphabetical signpost names to distinguish them from the numerical ones.
