Rail Rails and Train Trains are a form of mass transport unlocked around midway through the game. They are more effective than Truck Trucks at long range due to their high resource capacity, but require more advanced resources to create, and more space to create stops.

Each train has an engine and 15 cars which hold 2 resources each, for a total of 30 resources per train.

Rail stops

A simple rail line between two stops. Note that the rail loops back around into itself after each stop.

Rail stops can be placed anywhere along a rail, but trains can only go forward. Therefore after a stop, a rail must either loop back into itself to allow the train to go back the way it came, or otherwise circle back around to its other stop. If a train is not able to do so, a red warning will appear in the rail stop UI.

Depot Depots must be within range of each stop to load/unload the cargo.
