Train stations trains and train tracks

[Zeb The King]

Location: outskirts of city’s or on roads headed to city’s l

i feel like it would be nice to see train tracks around random places in the world. If you follow them you could find trains train carts and train stations. On the carts you can find coal nitrate iron and lead. There could be 1 to 10 carts with random loot or even zombies. And hey you could make carts that have 1 to 3 very deadly zombies or with good loot it opens up great possibilities for a 50%50% chance for great resources but it may have great horror waiting inside. But it could take a while to find a train track/station. In a world as  you could have only 1 to 2 (or more) separate tracks in a world.

Trains have been mentioned in a variety of ways.  I doubt they'll add them.  That doesn't mean you can't create your own train-related content.  I believe the Old West mod has some train tracks in the outskirts of old west towns.

 

Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing them.

I have Tile in my modlet that includes the end of a railroad line that is being removed. There are a few possible railroad cars that can appear on that track, though they are not loaded with ore and there's no train station. I didn't try to give the impression there was an active railroad line because I can't arrange to have tracks run around the world at large.

 

I don't expect we'll see railroads, but If TFP were to add railroads to RWG, I'd further hope they add railway specific blocks that could support a player driven railroad hand car.

There's actually a subway station POI in the games POI editor Test Files with a Train in it. I personally believe this will be implemented in a later Alpha. It looked decent, proportions were right, details were great and the station had some good atmospheric lighting.

Yes, but this would be set up as a single POI without any connections.  They could certainly add a single POI that has a train or subway and have it not go anywhere.  That's really easy to do.  But I think the OP was wanting something that had track connections going places.  That's unlikely to happen.

Yes, at the minimum. But I don't see that happening in this run of Alphas. Surely the devs have considered rail lines (how could they not?) but it just ain't gonna happen this time around.

 

Maybe in their next game? Or not at all. My bet is on the latter scenario.

 

Its all good.
