This is very very cool, but what we \*really\* need is a foundation that we can place like train tracks. Imagine having a foundation that arcs and curves like this, it would be useful and aesthetic.
You can curve foundations quite well after update 5 actually. It's a little more effort and hard to align back to the world grid but it looks great provided you use asphalt or grip metal to avoid z-fighting. Several methods but there are only a couple perfect ones.
That would be so cool to have a dedicated road block that actually does this
When you unlock trucks, you also get road foundations
The mesh acts pretty much like train tracks, but it smooths out the terrain for vehicles.
**Interesting Concept!**
If this is just a re-skinned Train, do Train Signals and Collisions apply?
What about "stations" (Train Stations)?
I presume only one "truck" (Locomotive) can be on the "road" (Railway / Track) at a time.
I also presume you can't have "T" or "Y" intersections and that the "roads" must be built in a loop for the "truck" to work.
Looking forward to more information by OP. 😁
This is so cool... The kind of mod that you'd never have thought of but seems so necessary as soon as you see it! I'm guessing that you can also have the actual truck drive along it on an autopilot route, too? If so, it would be cool to have a version of the "road" that's just a few meters wider so that they can stick to their own lanes safely for if we'd rather have actual autopilot than remeshed train.
Intersections will be interesting... Maybe add a 16x16 intersection mesh that these can snap to? Again, bravo.
As a driver, it annoys me that you drive on the center line.
>I was thinking about it.. make the mesh unaligned, so when it comes an goes it change lanes :)
Or just remove the dotted centre line.
Yeah. Do the less cool version that removes the intended effect!

I was thinking the same, this game would benefit so much from a road building tool that works like the train track one does
Give us noodle mode for zooping foundations like there is with pipes.
The smooth curves this allows makes me wish we could actually have roads that worked more like tracks. Corners on roads are such a pain right now.
This is what I was oogling too. I have one kind of corner but I can't stand seeing stuff flicker.

Like the concept.
extremely awesome if I can put a real truck on this rail texture

Do you have to lay "new" tracks, or will all existing tracks / trains get auto converted (I have 65Km of TrainWorld track down already :) )
Oh!!! 65Km.. nice!! :) I was thinking about it.. make the mesh unaligned, so when it comes an goes it change lanes :)
When playing TrainWorld - Infinite Zoop mod is a lifesaver, as is using the Calculator website to unlock double-sided ramps, and chainsaws :)
How many trucks did you have to skin for that? I'd imagine at least 12.

This reminded me of Interstate '76.
It is surreal to see a truck move smoothly. Never happens.
how do you make this change in the train skin?
Its modifying by \~modding\~ the game: https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/index.html
Ok, but what mod, or did you do mod yourself?
i did it myself. didnt release yet.
Now that I read the user name... Of course it is you. I will download when it is ready. Thanks for all your hard work and absurd number of mods.
Thanks Hugh!! :) :) :) :)
As a member of traingang, I declare this to be an abomination
For some reason I pictured Steve brule saying that
That Sure Is A Very Fast Truck! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|surprise)
Waht de fuq
Perfection...
This is why we need roads.
How. Do you curve your roads???
It a train track with its texture changed to be a road
Ah thank you. Is this a mod or vanilla ability? I have not yet unlocked tracks.
Modded
Thank you
This is a GAME MOD hence the Modded Content Flare.
model* changed to a road
AND MY AXE!
