hi, just wondering if you or anyone has automated the track switch using scripts? not sure if it is possible i have no knowledge of how to write the code or where to start.

hey hull, are you planning to release a prefab so people can create their own types of carriages ?

hmm

You wouldn't be able to print them because the couplers consist of several subgrids. (one for each axis). A projector would only project the vehicle without the couplers. And it's not that easy to build them by hand.

the only thing missing is the a printer to build the locomotive and carts.

Hi, i will do this stuff in survival, anyway if you like i can show you the wolrd later, i will do a production facility for the railparts, connect all the the parts togehter and fly them to the desired location. just tell me if you are interested. Thank you alot for your hard work !! i will try to reach Earth now to build trains XD

Yes, this got a bit harder to set up after the latest updates. Some of my ships are making problems, too.

and the curve tracks are whipping me into next week, hours wasted lol...

awesome everything, just takes a little luck to get the merge blocks to align lol!

It's done! The Track & Tunnel Construction Engine can be found in the list above!

that fine take you time no rush

I'm currently building something similar for my monorail. But it's in progress at the moment.

this i look but click the 4 loop turn on click 1 it will start drill and piston with timer self by loop dig it self

very nice my friend sent me link you blueprint i try it next day https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1671909553&searchtext=15m it can dig that big it allow car truck or transport

Sweet. I'm thinking or building a rail link to all my mines. Now i can transport the digger

@mat1k just added a vehicle carriage :-)

That's a good idea!

Needs a flatbed carriage for transporting tanks and vehicles

I just added a new slope part to my track collection. This should solve at least some of your problems. Have fun and feel free to give me feedback.

@KinbgRStone you need to sometimes place a gap between the rail parts to align it to the planets Surface. should work wine and you could connect it via a connector If you want to have acces to the other bases systems

Any way to get the rails lower? On the long distance they are going in to the sky.

Ah, Ok
Enjoy Your Break Time!

no plans at the moment. I will continue making stuff after holidays :-)

May I Ask
Is There Anything Else That Your Gonna Make?

monorail

I love your monorail!

thank you exelsiar

thanks for replying, Exelsiar :-)

Their already on Hull's workshop, in these collections:
Ground Vehicles:

Cargo ships and containers:

can you make a model of the trucks and ships

Ooh!
New Things!

Impressive work thus far sir.

Current progress on making the train drive autonomously.

Ooo that'd be amazing, I look forward to seeing if you succeed :D

I'm currently setting up a survival starter world with the three industrial plants, a mine and a short monorail track with a cargo train.

I will try to make the train drive from station to station and exchange the materials automatically. So the players will only have to mine ores (at least if they don't use the Path Auto Miner) and put them into the cargo platform.

I don't know if I will bring the autonomous train to work but I'm trying.

I'm curious about how you use these yourself, do you have things automated some how? Such as the miner and trucks running on their own?

Myeah

A weapon carriage would be a nice addition. I will put this on my to-do-list :-)

Ah, Ok
..I Didnt Notice
But I Have An Idea For A "Weapons Carriage".
Its Self Explanitory. Its Just A Carriage With Weapons. Turrets, More Specifically. And Ammo Storage.

I just reconfigured the existing trains yesterday. New tracks/cars are on my todo-list but I'm currently taking a break from the monorail project for a few days, so it doesn't get boring. I'm uploading lots of WW2 planes at the moment as you may noticed :-)

So
Any Updates?

Ah, Ok.
Time To Wait, Then.

I'm planing to make some kind of container crane that can pick up my Universal Cargo Units and put them on a train car. But today (or tonight) I made the platform and two trucks. That should be enough for the moment :-D

Yes But What If Its Cargo That ISNT An Item?
Like: Missiles, Specific Crates, Connectable Parts To A Larger Vehicle, Vehicles, Ect?
Wouldnt A Crane Be Needed Then?
Plus For, Engine And/Or Carriage Movement/Switching.

I just uploaded a cargo exchange platform. Maybe it is something for you. :-)

what about a refinery car with a top connector to allow mining ships to drop off ore? could you make something like that @hullbreach?

well done

Thanks, Aureus!

Awesome!
