Have you ever felt as if rails were too expensive? Do you wish that copper had more uses? If so, Railed is the mod for you!
What's different?
Railed changes the recipes for the various types of rails so that they are more affordable for long distance rail networks. For exact recipes, visit the gallery, but here's the gist:
Basic Rails:
Basic Rails felt too expensive as 6 iron ingots for 16 rails, that's only 2.67 rails/ingot! This mod changes their recipe to require iron nuggets instead of ingots for an improved 24 rails/ingot! It also adds more sticks to the recipe to better match the texture.
Rail Variations:
Activator, Detector and Powered Rails now all follow the format of a variation-specific item, a rail, and a redstone dust for 1 of the rail variation.
Powered Rails:
As seen in the mod icon, Powered Rails now look a tad bit different, now being made of copper, not gold. This change was made to:
- Slightly decrease the cost of Powered Rails as copper is easier to obtain than gold
- Add a new use for copper
- Make space for funkier, fresher, gold rails in a future potential update
Other Notes:
If I get around to it, I would like to make other changes to rails & minecarts but none of these have been added yet:
- New, better, Gold Rails
- Modify the Minecart speed to make rails an actually viable transport method
- QOL rail related blocks?
- Maybe More!
I might do some of these, I might do all of these, I might even do none of these, we'll see.
