<!--l. 17--><p class="indent" >   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.
<!--l. 21--><p class="indent" >   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.

<!--l. 27--><p class="noindent" >Minetest&#8217;s in-house rail system features rails that turn at an angle of 90 degrees &#8211; totally impractical for the use with realistic trains. So
we have our own rails. Remember: Carts can&#8217;t drive on the rails provided by this mod, as do trains not drive on minetest&#8217;s default rails
because of their different track widths.
<!--l. 33--><p class="indent" >   First, craft some rails.

<!--l. 37--><p class="indent" >   Now, place one at any position and another one right next to it: you have made your first railway track!
<!--l. 40--><p class="indent" >   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.

<!--l. 47--><p class="indent" >   As shown in the illustrations above, the 30-degree angled rails use a knight&#8217;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.

class="ecsx-1200">Switches</span>
<!--l. 55--><p class="indent" >   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.

>
<!--l. 63--><p class="indent" >   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.
<!--l. 68--><p class="indent" >   Unfortunately tracks that are placed next to switches don&#8217;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:

opposing 45-degree rails.

<!--l. 89--><p class="indent" >   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.

<!--l. 99--><p class="indent" >   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.

<!--l. 105--><p class="indent" >   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.

<!--l. 120--><p class="indent" >   These detector rails turn adjacent mesecons on when a train is standing/driving over them.
<!--l. 123--><p class="indent" >   Notice: Detector rails and bumpers currently aren&#8217;t aligned to the regular tracks. This will be fixed soon. Meanwhile, you need to
rotate them manually.

<!--l. 137--><p class="indent" >   To place wagons simply craft and click a track. To remove a wagon, punch it. Only the person who placed the wagon can do this. In
survival if you destroy trains you get only some of your steel back, so you will be asked to confirm if you really want to destroy a
wagon.

<!--l. 144--><p class="indent" >   Right-click any wagon to get on. This will attach you to the wagon and register you as passenger. Depending on how the wagon is set

the wagon.

<!--l. 161--><p class="indent" >   The second button should say &#8220;Wagon properties&#8221; and appears only for the wagon owner. See &#8220;Wagon Properties&#8221;.
<!--l. 164--><p class="indent" >   The last button tells that the doors are closed, so you can&#8217;t get off at this time. If the doors are open or the wagon has no doors, this
button says &#8220;Get off&#8221;.
<!--l. 168--><p class="indent" >   It is always possible to bypass closed doors and get off by holding the Sneak key and right-clicking the wagon or by
holding Sneak and Use at the same time. Remember that this may result in your death when the train is travelling
fast.
<!--l. 173--><p class="indent" >   The Japanese train and the Subway train support automatic getting on by just walking into the wagon. As soon as you stand on a
platform and walk towards a door, you will automatically get on the wagon. On these, pressing W or S while inside the Passenger Area
will also make you get off.
