Standard Gauge Rail Guides

Update 2019-09-29:
- Total overhaul of the mod due to implementation of Onca77's script in to the Rails Core. New naming, models, grouping and icons and also two new kinds of Rail Guides, one of which allows for constructing fully functional 2-bogie rail cars. Legacy support is ensured, all blueprints using this mod will still work as intended.

Update 2019-09-15:
Added all the missing sizes of the Rail Mod bogies and integrated them into one group. Changed the model of the 1x1 invisible bogies to a timber (due to collision problems with the weight model) and set up proper crafting recipe and group.

Update 2019-08-28:
Increased the detach distance (the height above track at which the bogie stops interacting) to 6 blocks to match the original Rail Mod bogies.

It is fully interchangeable due to using the same subtypes, just swap them in your world settings.

What does this mod do?

It adds four groups of blocks in 1x1, 2x1, 1x2 and 2x2 sizes that act as bogies from Equinox's Rails mod. They are intended for building custom vehicles that stay on track without the use of Equinox's bogies.

What is the difference between them?

These come in four different varieties:
1. Rigid - works just like the normal rail bogie, but doesn't come with its own wheels - doesn't float.
2. Free - this one has its rotation force disbled, so it can spin around freely, while staying on track
3. Floating Rigid - Just as 1., but floats exactly two blocks above the normal bogie
4. Floating Free - Just as 2., but floats exactly two blocks above the normal bogie

How to use them?

- Orientation is marked by a groove on top of each bogie. It should point along the rails
- Never place more than one bogie on a single grid as bad and explody things may happen. The only exception is if they are placed in the same orientation exactly above each other.
- If your bogies are too weak for their purpose, adding weight to the grid on which they are placed does increase their force.
- If you want to use more than one bogie for good stabilization, the best way is to mount each one on a different sub grid e.g. by using catch blocks.
