Ziptorio: power line zipline
Ride along the copper wires of your electric poles like a zipline.
How to use
- Research Power line zipline (after Modular armor) and craft a Zipline trolley.
- Put the trolley into your armor's equipment grid.
- Stand near any electric pole (up to 8 tiles away), point at the pole you want to reach and press the zipline key (middle mouse button by default, alternative Ctrl+J).
- The trolley finds a route through the wire network, including branches, and carries you there.
Jump off any time with Enter (the leave vehicle key) or the zipline key again. Movement keys don't interrupt the ride. Point at another pole and press the key mid-ride to change the destination.
Trains don't hurt you while you ride, even when the line goes over the tracks.
Equipment
| Trolley | Trolley MK2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | ~40 km/h | ~80 km/h |
| Power while riding | 150 kW | 300 kW |
| Internal buffer | 5 MJ | 10 MJ |
| Grid size | 1x2 | 2x2 |
| Research | Modular armor (red + green) | Exoskeleton equipment (+ blue) |
The trolley charges from your armor's generators like a battery. If it runs out it takes energy from other batteries in the grid. Without energy you can't ride.
Notes
- The ride ends if a pole on the route is removed, if you run out of energy or if you enter a vehicle.
- Works with and without Space Age.
- Remote interface
