The Rail show off thread!

[HolyCookie]

Show what you are making!
Show what you made!
Tell what you planned to make!

Anything with rails you want to brag about!

I haven't "produced" anything good yet.
Although I am planning on a huge station with its subway/tube system.

Also, an idea for the ones that have a password logic system (e.g. bench)
i got this idea, after reading about the automatic dock thing, with 1 enterenche and many ships.
what about using the code system like this: 1432 will bring ship ...... 2413 will bring ship .....
i hope this is usefull :3

what i mean with automatic dock thing:


updated:

if you would like me to build anything or try anything because you are too lazy or not advanched enough to build it, ask me. i Always like to help out, and its just fun to build with rails.
although i am not saying that i am advanched nor fast with building.

That point defense chain looks really neat! Any gifs of a chain in action?

Simple, but really nice to have.

I just got the shoulder transformation joints figured on my VF-1S Valkyrie WIP. Down to arms, legs, logic optimization and detail. Sadly useless unless thrust sharing across entities becomes a thing. Will up some pics after work.

Two hours into the new update and my mountain fortress of doom now has dwarf fortress drawbridges (that raise up to become armored hangar doors).

Rails are awesome.

I am trying to sort out a hanger you land in

You ship gets lowered and the stored in a bay. The tricky part is making a system that can recognise the ship size in relation to where the docking module is.

The logic is okish...i think haven't even built it yet. Working out free bays with lights is easy i think. If the old system with activators underva rail works. If not i will need to use an area trigger.

Any ideas on figering out how to accomodate many ships which have varying dock placement?

TRY OTHER COLOUR!!!!!! :D
make an art floor!!!!

don't anybody forget this by Crimson-Artist

without seeing the video, i already had this plan:
a super rocket turret. think of an combination of that minigun and that revolver.
ill use only 1 exit hole, some timing for the spinning and many rocket launch systems. to make a turret that shoots missiles without reloading!
thats my planning for today

So are there any videos showing basics of how to use the rails and rotators? Battleship style turrets and whatnot.
