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

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

Man, this train is beautiful! Have been trying with casual metro design myself, but it always ended up as a slug. And this, is perfect, but speed is still problematic :/ I seriously hope once we will be able to set and control wheels indirectly on subgrids.

What exactly do you mean?

In survival, I was tortured to make such constructions as a connection between cars. Can you make a guide

I don't think that this monorail system is survival ready because of this exact reason. Working with multi-grid blueprints in survival is difficult (or impossible).

I created this monorail system to build scenarios on my server. The players then join the server to play survival games with the already finished monorail. (Like in my monorail test world)

I'm sorry about this but as long as it's impossible to project multi-grids, this system won't be survival ready, I fear.

Hey. How to use blueprints in survival? If the blueprint consists of different grids, then the largest part is placed in the projector, and this is not always the most necessary part.

Hm that's weird. I think that they worked both ways for me. I can have a look at this in a few days.

These things are great! my only problem is when i try to add a different car to the train, i cant actually make the individual cars go backwards. not really sure if thats just the game or the design

I tried almost every train existing on the workshop, nice to see one that is simple to use AND working :D *thumbsup*

Neat

The train would apply downforce to the ship, so the ship would start moving as soon as you turn on the artificial mass.

I guess for large ships you could just use your artificial mass and gravity generators idea.

On moons/asteroids this might work. You can also work with artificial mass (train) and gravity generators (track), I guess.

But this will not work on large ships in space because the train then will push down the whole ship. But it should work on asteroids.

You could always jimmy rig it to work. You just need to put ion thrust on the top and put it in overide enough to keep it on the tracks before you unhook it and then put ion thrust for braking and foward thrust.

No it doesn't work in zero g.

Does it work in zero g?

I love how this concept keeps improving as more creaters try building it

Yeah, I did make try to make one for digging out track and it worked pretty well. All you have to do is use the station one engine and put drills in the front, under and on top then add some thrusters and turn them on override and it will dig it out pretty fast.

You Would Probably Need Floating Ones.
But Nobody Knows That

I already tried building tunnel miners (ony wheels, not monorail). Very difficult. Don't know if it's possible to make it work AND make it useful at the same time.

Wouldnt The Drills Have To Be With Pistons, Too?
So They Could More Easily Mine?
Or Something?

What about a mining car?

And Thusly
Elevator Rail

rail slopes are on my to-do list but I don't know if it will be possible with my monorail because the wheels have no second axis. Will try it some day.

How Would That Rail Car Work?
But Yeah, The Rail Going Up WOULD Be Quite Useful.

Or maybe a rail car that mines a perfect size hole?

Anychance of a rail the goes up? So if you have a hill in the way you could use that

Not One Block.
But Instead Many Blocks.
Unless You Mean One Station
Then, Yeah

so the track is just one large block correct?

Oh cool thanks.

Yes just open the Monorail collection

Is there a world version of this?

Tis Quite A Fitting Coincidence

@GnomeK Or did I do this on purpose? *puts on sunglasses*


(it is a coincidence -.-")

I noticed that due a glitching tires the train makes a sound really similar to that which the real train makes. Funny coincidence.

Cool! now we can hop on the monorail and interconnect them with multiple cities.

Thank you. I just uploaded a track switch. There are also alternative Engines/Cars. Check the monorail collection for all the addons!

This is so cool, keep it up!

Have You Tried The Curved Tracks Provided By The Dev?

what about you?
