Railroads

Vikings had ships. Now they have trains.

You lay stone track with the hammer, put a station on it, give the station a name and send a locomotive there. Or sit on the bench and drive it yourself, like in Factorio.

You can play it alone, host a game for friends or run it on a dedicated server. Trains keep going when nobody is near, and the server plans the routes, so 2 trains never get the same track.

What you get:

• 24 track pieces: straights from 1 to 32 m, curves, slopes, switches, a crossing, a turning loop, a T and an X junction
• stations with a name board
• a locomotive that burns coal, with a speed lever and a switch lever
• wagons with 18 slots of storage, a bench for 2 and a sign you write yourself
• a wagon restaurant with a table that shows the food you put on it
• a portal wagon, a portal that travels with the train
• a flatbed wagon, an empty deck of 4 by 6 m to build on
• track, stations and trains on the map

Everything is in the Transport tab of the hammer. A train at full speed hits whatever stands on the track, so don't stand on the track.

Your first train

1. Take the hammer and lay track from the Transport tab. Track snaps to track.
2. Put a station on the track and press E on it to give it a name. A station with no name is not in the menu.
3. Put a locomotive on the track. It needs a workbench near.
4. Press E on a fire door of the locomotive to put coal in. Hold E to put in more.
5. Press E on the locomotive and pick a station.

Controls

• E on the locomotive: the station menu
• E on the bench of the locomotive: sit down and drive
• W and S: the speed lever, forward, stop and backward. One tap, you hold nothing
• A and D: the switch lever, which way the train goes at the next switch
• E while you sit on the bench: the station menu, you stay seated and ride along
• Space: get up, the train brakes
• Shift + E on a wagon: couple it to the train or uncouple it

Install it with a mod manager, or copy the folder Railroads into BepInEx/plugins. The server and every player need the same version. With another version you get a message and no rail pieces.

Settings are in BepInEx/config/vladasz.railroads.cfg. The Server section counts only on the server:

• TopSpeed, 2 to 40 m/s, default 10
• CoalPer1000Meters, 0 to 50, default 10. With 0 trains need no coal
• MaxCoal, 20 to 500, default 100
• MaxWagons, 0 to 8, default 4
• Hits: Everything, MobsOnly or Nothing
• SureKill: a train at 9.5 m/s kills any mob it hits, a boss too
• PortalWagon: on or off
• MaxDeckPieces, 0 to 200, default 100. How many pieces fit on 1 flatbed wagon
• DeckHeight, 2 to 12 m, default 4. How high you can build over the deck of a flatbed
• DeckReachLeftRight, DeckReachFrontBack, 0 to 2 m, default 0.5. How far a piece can reach past the edges of the deck
• DeckPiecesIndestructible: what is built on a flatbed takes no damage, off by default
• DeckSmelters: smelters, kilns and the obliterator can be built on a flatbed, off by default
• DeckFires: campfires, hearths and braziers can be built on a flatbed, off by default
• MapTrack, MapStations, MapTrains: what players may see on the map
