The Small Gauge Railway Track is a player built structure used as tracks for small Trains.


A segment of railway for small gauge train cars. Tracks can attach to or fork from existing railways to form complex networks.
In-game description

Construction

It must be built on land but not on beaches, rocks, Foundations, or Bridges.

A track segment can be built across a Road but it cannot end in the middle of one.

It can cross any kind of track, it can even be built directly on top of Railway Tracks.

Track blueprints will automatically snap to built tracks, hold Shift to disable it.

A track can split from an existing track, this will create a fork in the track and automatically spawn a semaphore next to the split which can be toggled with E to select the desired path. The semaphore is incorporeal, it doesn't block anything.

A track can be slightly elevated using Mouse Scroll Wheel. The elevation angle of each end can be adjusted with the same button while holding RMB.

Unlike most structures, a track can be built right next to a Region border and it won't suffer from Rapid Decay. Any track built crossing the border will also appear on the border of the region across, allowing Small Train Locomotive to cross regions.

It can be built directly on top of Railway Tracks.

It can be curved at both ends, in a "S" shape.

It can cross any kind of track, it can even be built directly on top of Railway Tracks.

Interactions

  • The original builder can instantly demolish it TrenchDemolishIcon.png if it was built less than 6 hours ago (materials refunded).
  • It is immune to Friendly Fire but it can be flagged for "Disruptive Structure Placement" RemoveStructureIcon.png to remove the immunity (5 "votes" needed).
  • It can't be damaged if a train car is on top of them.

Tips

  • You cannot adjust elevation and angle of a track's end if it's attached to another track, so always place the rails that require the most delicate adjustments first.
  • When placing tracks on hills it's generally easier to start at the top and work downwards.
  • Since rails can be demolished within 6 hours, you can test them quickly for obstructions and replace easily replace them if needed.
