this look like it had some potential. i had an idea like these rails for a mod.

pretty sure all this is abandoned now, looks like they've just ditched these mods

uhh, they do not show up theya re just invisible.

Interesting

??????

also when will turns be added??

hi, so the rails etc are working but there is no handbrake option when you come to a full stop.

is there any way you can add this?

would be great for a fighter catapult system

So very cool!

Hopefully trains become more practical (in implementation) in the future, in this game.
Cars and trucks can have a tendency to explode when the wheels kiss the rear underbody of the car with the ground right next to it. Just make sure the reactors and tanks are away from frequent collision zones (high risk areas).

Looks good, but the gravity force is so crapping deadly so when I accidentally stepped on it, I couldn't change my gravity thing from normal to scary. + When i converted my thing from "Station" to "Ship" i just got an massive FPS drop.

its really a great mod love it can't wait for the curve and inclien track come out...

This is the best rail/train mod i ever seen

it doesnt work for me, i place it but it doesnt work, its not even glowing

how fast its going ? i plan to do hypertrain. just A to B no bends.

i would sat if they were locking but able to move freely then i would say ya perfect for alot of things but if they just able to slide off to the side then no but i think if u made each track a v shape where they lock in that way where it would stay in then it would work for a train or even a hanger door but ill do some/alot of testing with this and see what can be done with all the blocks we have now....

I don't really know what to say right now. I want to build a train to a launch site. that is the real reason for downloading. right now I am struggling to figure out how to let the tracks hook up and how it works. once I figured it out I will comment and let you know what I think. I feel this mod got great potential.

This was testing version of this mod, I want update this but I dont know how exactly :) maybe I disable gravity on track or idk :)

Checking it out. I hope Sektan is still working on it

How attentive, didn't you guys like you answers?
In the silence can you hear the crickets chirping?

Did you abandon this?

Is this kinda like the MagLev mod?

I really think this mod would be useful for planetary mining. Please almighty Sektan!

This wont be updated anymore?

i wonder how this would work if the tracks were placed onto a rotating base platform?
that way the mining train could mine in a straight line and back again, and then someone adjusts the direction of the tracks a little bit by rotating a bit to the right, and the train mines forward and back again.... and then if the whole setup is motorised on a timer, it could rotate a bit more, and mine again and again, until reached, then then the platform is elevated a bit and the process starts again? :)

Hi I was wondering if you will be updating this Mod...
I really like the concept.
I am trying to make a subway system on my planet any thoughts you might have about this would be appreciated.

PLANETS! Possibly use no power on the tracks and no/low mass on train?

havn't used, but if this could turn and go up/down inclined tracks, this would be your space minecart.

this needs a rework, would be so useful on planets

Please tell me you are still working on this mate??

Oh oh. Buggy. My Station is moving down by unsing this Train. The Idea is good. But this Mod is in this Version unusable. The "Trains" are moving the big Ship. Ship has no Energy. Why the Trains move the Ship with no Energy? Hmm. And when the Ship is on the Track, completely Station is moving down, lol.

Making it work for small blocks would be nice...

so you can move around a corner?

how do you make the train turn?

HI. I really new to Space Engineers. I was wondering if someone might help me get this working for me.. i watched to video over and over again and cant seem to understand this.
I really would like to get this train/track working in my station.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ^^

Will this ever get switch tracks?

Olauph if you want a Turntable use 1 piston 1 rotor 9 armor blocks 3 tracks no need for a special block that would essentialy be a giant rotor

why i am thinking of launch tracks for my torpedo....

What about a train turn table. Its what they use to turn trains around to face the oposite direction of a track.

A turn table could allow you to use straight sections and connect routs leading in different directions.

As it stands, it can only go forward and backwards. So its not much for a long distance transport. But, it can work great for getting from one side of a station to another. I can see this as a really neat transit for getting around a really large space station. It'd be even neeter when it can turn and make a full circuit.

@Ghostrapt3r: No way, because if the ship will move, the Train blocks will fly away from the Tracks - Better use them on a station and/or lock them when the ship is moving.

@ MattPlaysSimulations; bobby72006: Curved tracks aren't a good idea in any case, 'cause if you put the Train blocks too much away from each other you won't be able to go forward in the curve.

@Jesemus Chrism: Yes, it is. Can't you look at the video and photos?

@Sektan: Gravity 20m x 20m x 20m is too much, it makes walking around it pretty bad.
Try 3m x 3m x 3m - That is exactly one large block so when you fit the Train block in the Track one, it should be fine.

this looks perfect for launching fighters. like a launch catapult

I like this Idea.

is it just a block

to turn the rail

i got a cool idea if we want corners thats a bad idea but we can use roters

@MattPlaysSimulations A [complex-ish] way to create corners could be to use pistons and a rotor, but it would be a BIT hard :|

you train rails are great

love this. any idea when corner sections coming out? need them for my WIP project. great work keep it up
