Here is a link to the original design: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1136029185

Carriage Notes:

Due to changes in the game, you can not simply spawn the carriage over the rail like you used to. You will either need to modify the track to make it wider for a section of track as long as the carriage, or spawn the carriage elsewhere and then drive it up onto the rail. Both methods work fine. This is caused by the game requirement that a SV/HV is spawned over a base with a section of blocks that are as wide, and as long as the SV/HV being spawned.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Track Notes:

Although a single base is limited to 250 blocks wide, you can use multiple bases inline with one another to create a longer track. This is best accomplished by creating a track of the maximum length and then create a blueprint of it, spawn a copy, and then use console commands to align the bases (general commands used: "di" to display player coordinates and get entity id number, "ents" to list all entities and get the coordinates (position and rotation) of the bases, "setrotation" to set the bases rotation, and "setposition" to set the bases position). This works in creative, I have not tested in survival yet. Main thing to remember is that the rail must be level and straight. No inclines or curves.

Оригинальная лучше. Та хотя бы не застревает каждые 5 блоков, постоянно врезаясь без возможности выровняться.

Looks very elegant

Cool! I am always interested in trains made within EGS

@250RoundMags - It does not come into contact with the track if it is aligned to the track.

Just hover at roughly 0.35M and align the monorail carriage (HV) with the track by moving left to right and then right to left a couple of times, then center the monorail on the track. When you pilot the carriage, hit the ALT key to free up the view lock and only use the 'W' & 'S' keys for movement along the track.

how does this work exactly? Doesnt the HV bounce off course if it contacts the track?

Also, love the screenshot of the monorail going over the water. Makes me miss making bases in survival.

Solid work! Its a shame it cant go uphill, or that we can not make curves with a wide arc to make it turn. It would be insane to see a few of your trams lanes stack 3 high going in opposite directions around this city. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1230754659 Man it would make builds feel alive.

I really like this idea! I could make some quick use for monorails in and out of some of my cities. Thumbs up!
