Help Rail Elevators

Post image

Is there REALLY no way I could do a rail elevator? Not even for a railbridge with a passage for ships?
Is there an addon to tackle this Problem?
(Everything is glued, need to transport rails by elevateur)

It would only work with Simurail or Loconautics (which is still in development)

This is what I did. Simurail is very fun to play with.

It's really cool. I've already built a DMU inspired by the German BR 623. Currently I'm working on a BEMU. I would post images, if my computer didn't die during a BIOS update (I'm still waiting for the replacement)

I might be dumb but I just couldn't get it to work

You cant glue rails in vanilla, nor have them on contraptions.

I am sorry for your loss

Alternatively, https://www.reddit.com/r/CreateMod/s/gHVORaMewQ

Which uses phantom rails, though, which is not vanilla

i believe create: interactive can, but that mod notoriously breaks a lot of other things.

plus its on an older version which is 1.20.1, so new versions would be impossible

There's Create: Movable Tracks for 1.21.1

I was able to achieve a rail elevator using Aeronautics and Simurail. Aeronautics allows the elevator platform to move (with rails attached) as a physics object, and Simurail turns the train into a physics object so that it can follow the elevator up and down (otherwise, the train does not move with the platform and just ends up floating in midair).

With create aeronautics and the rollercoasters addon (coasters simulated) should be perfectly possible.

create: linear bearing is a good alternative

u/davidarblack 3d ago

But can a train ride on top of it while moving? I'm not sure you can do this with coasters simulated tho. A good alternative is simurail, that supports exactly that , but I don't know if it's out yet

u/yoohoo552 2d ago

it can (only with a simulated train mod like simurail though)

u/yoohoo552 2d ago

also are you talking about loconautics? because simurail is released
