This is to completely ensure a safe crossing, and is often used on servers. When a player is inside the area crossing the tracks, the train gates are closed so the player can't get on the tracks outside the crossing. When the player is on the rails, the signals are reserved by the circuit network, and the train must stop and wait until the player leaves the tracks. This works by restricting access to the tracks when an oncoming train has the rails reserved. Trains of different configurations will also move slower or faster.Ī safe railroad crossing like the example shown in the picture can be built. Trains near a train stop or signal will slow down to stop, and will be traveling slower. Trains far from a train stop will be traveling at (near) max speed, so take extra precaution when crossing and zoom out further.All entities with health will take damage getting hit by a train, so take care not to leave a car or tank on the tracks.This will require several shield modules to not be instantly killed, and will drain a large amount of the suit's energy. In extreme cases, it is possible to stop a train with your body. Heavy shields can be used to reduce the damage taken.The sides of the train can still deal damage, as well as the player being able to slip between two rail cars. While it is possible to get into/out of a train while it is moving, a miss can cost your life.Avoid walking near the tracks, as you do not need to be fully on the tracks to get hit.Check for signals nearby: If a rail signal suddenly jumps from green to red or green to yellow, a train is coming.Zoom out, so that you can see a train coming.Crossing tracksīe careful when crossing tracks! Trains are one of the highest damaging entities in the game, and will kill most players instantly on contact.Ī checklist of proper track crossing etiquette: (Generally, 2 track widths apart works well)Ĭlick here for the full-sized version of the image. This can create complicated networks of signals and, as such, one should generally not build parallel tracks unless they are spaced adequately. However, switching from one track to the other can require extra resources if they are too close together the track must turn away from the other parallel track and then turn back to it. Parallel tracks do not interact with each other.They do, however, connect signal blocks which helps prevent collisions. The crossing of two straight tracks is not usable as switch, as trains have a limited turning radius.Switches are forks in tracks that allow a train to pick between two directional options. Using the rail planner, the player must place a rail overlapping an existing rail to form a switch. There is no visual representation of a working switch, however the rails will appear to merge.Locomotives can be entered and then manually operated by standing next to them and pressing the ENTER button. Bear in mind that rails are placed on a two-tile grid, so a rail cannot be moved by only one tile.Īs a minimum a manually operated railway has to consist of: Typically, this is done via the rail planner, but can also be done manually. Hovering over a train produces an information panel which includes how many biters the train has killed.To build a railway, tracks (also called rails) must be built for the train to ride on.Biters ignore rails unless angered by trains.The biters will proceed to attack the train and rails. If the train is too slow, it will stop on the biter and only damage and anger it. Locomotives can destroy any enemy when driving at max speed.They prioritise items at the bottom right first.įluid Wagons are loaded annd unloaded using pumps (not to be confused with offshore pumps). All inserters work on Cargo Wagons and at the same speeds as normal.

You can also attach artillery wagons, which are useful for keeping the area surrounding your railway clear of infestations.

Trains can only be built on rails and use train stops to automate deliveries. Trains are a form of transportation in Factorio, used for transporting rolling stock long distances.
