Transparent Elevated Rails

Are you fed up with elevated rails blocking entities behind it? Then this tool will save your life!

Option 1: Selection tool

Use the selection tool to make elevated rails in the selected area transparent. Reverse select to make transparent segments normal again.

Option 2: Mouse hover

Toggle the auto-transparency on hover mode. Set and forget.

Auto revert transparency

Control how long the rail should remain transparent in the mod settings.


Known issues

  • Making elevated rails transparent causes trains en-route through that track to temporarily stop (engine limitations, won't fix, see Q&A)
  • When a train is occupying a block, the elevated rails can't be made transparent (safety precautions, won't fix, see Q&A)

Roadmap

  • No new functionalities are currently planned
