he should also add some powerable carts so i can take a engine and power the cart directley

you know all of these are on the road map? the was an itervew a week or two ago asking people what they wanted and how much and some of those were steam engines and buffer block related.

@cosmic lemon-Nades Check the timestamps

An idea:
Plotting the rail segments on the map. Would this be possible?

No, plotting rail segments directly on the map will never be added by me and afaik is not possible regardless.

Maybe an alternative "railroad map" that can be crafted?

Not really. You can't do that type of rendering in a mod.

Pity (

It would be great to have fixed curves like the straight item. so you can easily place them e.g. for a farming wheel in a perfect circle.

It might be a good idea to try making just separate flaged wheels? People are trying to make locomotives with your brilliiant mod but I think if you can try and simply add that feature in, then railway activity on this will boom.

Or pairs of wheels...

These are things that are on my list of things to do. They aren't trivial to create.

This mod is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome! So that makes you AWESOME! Thanks!

How about rail bogies/carts that can bend in the middle? It probobly need a raised platform.
You ever try to go around a 20degree corner with 2 bogies attached together? They want nothing to do with it. :-p
By adding the catch blocks the elavation makes them top heavy and off centered.
XD
I absolutly love the mod

There is actually a brilliant idea by onca77, to use one permanently connected bogie in the middle and two articulated guiding bogies on the rear and front. That allows for making long cars able to go into almost any curve without the problem of leaning to the sides as the mass is calculated correctly.

To better show what i'm talking about, please allow me to link to one of my cars using that system (of course usable only up to 0.6 yet):

There is a problem with using central bogies. The ends of the cars will travel quite wide from the track on bends making linking to the next car difficult, only slightly less difficult if they are of similar length. This is why IRL the wheels and bogies are near the ends. Less lateral movement on bends.
