[HullTec] Monorail Train (v1.1 work in progress)

Description
NEWS & UPDATES ARE IN MY MONORAIL COLLECTION NOW.

v1.1 (changes are listed at the end)

DESCRIPTION
I tried to build a monorail. This one consists of two locomotives and one car between them. This first version is designed for transporting people from A to B. Some nice Transport Tycoon feeling.

HOW TO USE

01: Spawn Blueprint
02: Disconnect Train from connector
03: You have to press "Convert to Ship" for every of the three parts.
04: add rail (blast door)
05: add second blueprint on the other end of your rail and remove the second train.

That's it. Train should move now.


CURRENT PROGRESS

Train:
v1.1
- train is now much faster and is less likely to take damage in curves at the same time.
v1.0
- car now has the latest coupler (double axis), so now the train can have more than one car an still drive on curved tracks
v0.9
- second axis for train coupler (second pair of rotors). Train can now drive curves, too.
- you can now unmerge the train's parts
- first successful test of circle track. (see video above)
v0.8
- train coupler on rotor axis so the train and it's cars can pitch up and down
v0.7
- blueprint now consists of train and train station. This is better for you, because it's hard to bring the sole train onto the rail without damaging it.
v0.6
- basic train that can go forward and backward on track

MONORAIL TESTWORLD 2.0
This carriage is included in my Monorail Testworld 2.0. You can test it there on a predesigned railroad track.

DISCLAIMER:
I CREATED THIS MONORAIL SYSTEM TO BUILD SCENARIOS ON MY PRIVATE SERVER WITH ALREADY FINISHED MONORAILS. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE BUILT FROM SCRATCH IN SURVIVAL MODE. SOME PARTS MAY BE SURVIVAL READY, SOME MAY NOT. YOU WILL HAVE TO TRY OUT. I RECOMMEND TO PLACE THE MONORAIL SYSTEM IN CREATIVE MODE BEFORE YOU START PLAYING IN SURVIVAL MODE.

I love you concept, great job - i been playing with your mining train, and while driving back and forth I was doing a bit of bumping(Clanging) so resolve the damage, i replaced the rail stop with a 2x2 suspension with wheel which does a great job a catching the mono rail if the speed is under 11. The suspension is mount down and out towards the train were the tire catches at a sideways positions.

Thank you, this train helped me figure out a modified version of this layout for my orbital space station. Very good track design.

Hi Hull Breach, im fan of your designs of ships, and when i saw your monorail collection, i subscribed it all because it is really cool and beutifull, thanks so much. But, i want to ask you something - Can you build a monorail lile Half-Life 2 Combine razor train (https://half-life.fandom.com/wiki/Razor_Train) please ? It would be nice, anyway thanks and keep up the good work ! :-)

You can find track parts here with a video tutorial on how to use them: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1573780041

what do you use for making curves in the track, and how do you build it.

Thank you, Crafack.

hello very good job :steamhappy:
Garrag Jan 31, 2019 @ 12:24am 
yes it would be nice to look at that

@ToxiCrossRoach Thank you. Yes, speed is a problem at the moment. Hard to fix this.
@Treng you mean how to connect multiple grids via rotors and pistons? I could do a small tutorial video, I guess.
@ArthurSalim to make this work in space you need to place artificial mass on the train and place some gravity generators along the track. Otherwise the train will fly away.
The problem here is, that, if you activate the artificial mass, the train will start pushing down your whole ship (no matter how big it is). So I guess, this won't work on ships. Only on Asteroids and space stations, since they're static.

Do you think it can work on a large ship? trying to work on one that needs a big transport sistem inside
