Trains Demo?

Red mentioned on Steam that he plans working on trains this year. I'm very exited when we can expect trains in RW

any moving part really mine shaft elevators or carts would be amazing as well!

Well, I bet introducing trains in Rising World is a very challenging task. The terrain on most islands is not very flat, there are lots of mountains, hills and valleys. We will have to build bridges and dig tunnels, because a locomotive climbing up the 60 degrees steep slope will look ridiculous. So the max slope angle for tracks should be defined. As I saw on the roadmap, cars are also planned, I hope for something of "buggy" type for rough terrain.

hey man polar express did it we will be fine

these are the trains we need.

Don't take my little "Demo" too seriously

We intend to play a fitting music track for each time the player has built a vehicle for the first time. And as I'm just as excited about trains as some of you are, I created a piece specifically for a steam train (maybe with the hidden intention to get Red to prioritize it). I imagined riding a steam locomotive along a mountain pass with the engine chuffing perfectly in a fast rhythm.

There are a few challenges, as well as other things on the to-do list that will probably push trains out further than we all want. Mine carts and tracks are more likely to arrive first. But Red will be able to give a better assessment about either than I ever could.

maybe we also get something like a train base and then we can build blocks on it (making your own train)

Yes, that works great. I didn't pay attention to the titles at first. It was only when I heard it that I thought, “Huh, that sounds like a steam locomotive or a Mississippi steamboat.” And then i took a clouser look at the titles. 😂👍

That's a sign that it works, I guess
