Curved Tracks

[Anix Vita]

How i can build curved tracks? I only see straight tracks. HELP!

[mortran]

firstly... DONT PANIC...

have a some [edit] stright tracks in your inventory. place one [edit] stright track..

done that.. good..
have tracks selected.

with them selected hover over the track you placed and click the green arrow in the direction you want to go... move mouse until you get the shape you want...

also did i mention. DONT PANIC.

There's just rails. Whether they are straight or curved depends on whether you drag/place them along a straight line or a curved one.

Yeah, only way to make curved rails is to use the so-called "rail planner" system, in which you click the arrow at the end of any rail piece and move the mouse. It's a little finicky, but loads easier than having a separate rail piece like before. I think shift left-click makes it a ghost or robot outline, and will pathfind around any object to find a valid path.

And Don't Panic. Look at the lettering on the outside of your laptop.

...

What, you don't have that etched into YOUR guide?

I think it's in my Hitchhikers guide somewhere...


Yes.

There's the chapter on building tracks.

And don't forget your towel.

Not the only way. I have a 90' curve in my blueprint book which I find invaluable for quickly making turns. The rail planner is useful in many ways, but sometimes I find that a blueprint is far faster.

Now, that's just cheating. You had to use the rail planner to make the rail to make that blueprint in the first place... :S

Not cheating, it's the smart way to do it! Indeed, you need to use rail planner to make the initial curve, but after that... soooo much easier with a blueprint! XD
