Description
The Rail Layer locomotive is a slow-moving, automated rail construction vehicle that lay down ghost rail and signals using materials from its cargo wagons.
Perfect for building large-scale railways without construction robots.
Features
- Ghost Blueprint Integration: Reads placed ghost rail and signal entities
- Automated Rail Construction: Places rails and signals automatically as the locomotive moves
- Resource Consumption: Uses materials from train cargo wagons
- Backward Laying: when the Rail Layer goes backward, rails are laid from the back of the train.
How To Use
- Blueprint Planning: Plan your desired route with blueprints or ghost rails.
- Deploy Rail Layer: Place the Rail Layer and a cargo wagons filled with rails and signals.
- Drive Forward: Either by jumping in or driving remotely, simply drive like toward thoses ghost.
- Automatic Construction: The locomotive will handle the work of automatically building rails and signals.
Technical Details
- Technology just after railway transportation, 200x (1 red science pack, 1 green science pack)
- Recipe same as a locomotive
- Maximum Speed it goes at 1/4 speed of a locomotive, as it need to precisely build your rails
- Script Efficient script are used only when moving
Compatibility
- ✔️ Modded rails that are either simple rails or correctly listen to script_raised_revive are compatible.
- ✔️ Quality is compatible.
- ‼️ Elevated Rails is compatble, but rail layer can't lay down elevated rails.
Things To Do
- Obstacle Clearing: Cleanning Trees and Rocks marked for deconstruction and put items in Cargo Wagon
- Elevated Rails: building rail support and supporting rails
- Power poles: building power poles near rails
