\begin_layout Standard
|

This mod aims to provide realistic, good-looking and functional trains by
|
||
introducing a revolutionary rail placement system.
|
||
It features several wagons that can be coupled together.

This mod is not finished.

If you miss features, suggest them, but do not denounce this mod just because

they are not yet implemented.
|

They will be.

Placing Rails

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Minetest's in-house rail system features rails that turn at an angle of
|
||
90 degrees – totally impractical for the use with realistic trains.
|
||
So we have our own rails.
|
||
Remember: Carts can't drive on the rails provided by this mod, as do trains
|
||
not drive on minetest's default rails because of their different track
|
||
widths.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|

First, craft some rails.

To learn how to make turns have a look at the following examples.

A rail node has been placed only at the red-marked places.

\begin_layout Standard
|
||
As shown in the illustrations above, the 30-degree angled rails use a knight's
|
||
move (2 ahead, 1 aside) for placement.
|
||
For the rails to look realistic, I encourage you not to build turns that
|
||
are too narrow.
|
||
IMO the angles you can build with this are still way to narrow, but this
|
||
is the best compromise I can find.

Switches
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
To create switches we need the trackworker tool.
|
||
ATM it looks like a Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver.
|
||
Aside from turning rails into switches, it is also capable of rotating
|
||
everything (rails, bumpers, signals) in this mod.
|
||
Due to internal mechanics, nothing can be rotated using the default screwdriver.

||

|
||
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Place some rails.
|
||
Then left-click 1-2 times on one of these rails, until you see a switch.
|
||
Use right-click to rotate it how you need it.
|
||
You can change the switch direction by right-clicking the switch or by
|
||
powering it with mesecons.
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
Unfortunately tracks that are placed next to switches don't always automatically
|
||
connect to them.
|
||
You need to correct manually using the Trackworker.
|
||
One day I will implement proper handling for these.
|
||
When you are finished it could look like this:

Rail crosses
|

\end_layout
|

|

\begin_layout Standard
|

There are no real cross-rail nodes.
|
||
However you can create crossing rails by being creative and using the knight's
|
||
move or by placing opposing 45-degree rails.

To master height differences you can craft slope nodes:

\end_inset
|
||
|
||
|
||
\end_layout
|
||
|
||
\begin_layout Standard
|
||
To place them, you have to prepare the base, then stand in the right direction
|
||
and point to the slope start point, then place it.
|
||
A slope will be constructed in the direction you are facing (45 degree
|
||
steps) leaned against the next solid node.
|
||
The right number of slopes is subtracted from the item stack if you are
|
||
in survival.

Bumpers are objects that are usually placed at the end of a track to prevent

trains rolling off it.

After placed, they can be rotated using the Trackworker.

These are a regular analog signal and an electric signal.
|
||
Like everything, you can rotate them using the Trackworker.
|
||
Right-click or power with mesecons to signal trains that they can pass
|
||
or have to stop.
|
||
The signals do not have any effect on trains, they can only signal the
|
||
driver.
|
||
A more advanced signalling system (with distant signals/signal combinations)
|
||
is planned.

Notice: Detector rails and bumpers currently aren't aligned to the regular

tracks.

This will be fixed soon.

Meanwhile, you need to rotate them manually.

To place wagons simply craft and click a track.

Only the person who placed the wagon can do this.

In survival if you destroy trains you get only some of your steel back,

The LUA ATC suite is part of the mod advtrains_luaautomation.
