DerpRail - Simple funiculars that make sense in survival - HoverRail umop ap!sdn

UPDATE: Now integrates with the zeppelin controller mod - a control seat will stabilize the train and, with vanes on, provide a minimal amount of thrust and brake even if no thrusters are present.

UPDATE: The chains are now a little prettier, and cheaper to draw (less performance hit).

This mod takes the HoverRail blocks and flips them on their head, in order to allow building funiculars and monorails without having to worry about rail alignment.

The rail anchors will jump 1-block gaps, so you can use this to build transport trains between two grids (useful if your rail track spans the curve of a planet....)

The switches have been removed because I found that in most of our play, we were building point to point. You can still switch tracks by building divergent curve blocks on different grids.

A little bit of optimization has been done to allow using this on a dedicated server.

Since this setup would in principle work without superconductors (it's intended to emulate a funicular), the rail anchor/engines are now cheaper to build, requiring motors rather than superconductors.
