RailCraft

RailCraft uses many machines for different things but mostly resource creation. All of them start with Iron Ingots!

Asks for: Iron Ingot

The Water Tank is like having a barrel outside. Just this barrel is much bigger. It collects water and can hold water for Steam Locomotives. The amount of water is makes is dependent on the biome and visible to the sky. It's made by a 3x3x3 Water Tank blocks with the center being hollow.

Asks for: Water Tank Siding

RailCraft adds a Blast Furnace multiblock for us to transform Iron into Steel! To build it you'll need 34 Blast Furnace Bricks. It'll be 3 blocks wide, 3 blocks long, and 4 blocks tall. The two blocks in the exact center need to be hollow. You'll know it's done when it forms all together and allows you to access its GUI. There you can put Iron ,in any form, to get Steel and Granulated Sand.

Asks for: Blast Furnace Bricks

The Crusher is just as the name suggests. It can crush blocks to get the crafting materials, like bricks from a brick staircase, or dusts from ingots. It needs power to work though! To build one it's 3x2x2 of Crusher blocks.

Asks for: Crusher

Wait we have Steel again does that also mean we get our (Coal) Coke back? Yes! To get (Coal) Coke you'll need a Coke Oven. To make one you'll need 26 Coke Oven Bricks and place them 3x3x3 with 1 block hollow in the center. You'll know it's done when you can access the GUI and it's all one texture. Place Coal or Coal Blocks to get (Coal) Coke and Liquid Creosote! You can always put any log in to get Charcoal and Creasote.

Asks for: Coke Oven Bricks

RailCraft is an entire mod based off Trains! From Minecarts to Electric Locomotives to Tunnel Bores! It has everything Train accessory wise as well! Traffic Lights, Steam Boilers to power Trains, and automation for it all. The model Mod for Model Train Lovers!

Asks for: Rail

Hence the name of the mod, RailCraft, and what it revolves around, Trains, Rails are pretty important. The Vanilla ones work for lots of these but come on we all know they suck. Upgraded ones will need some more special items for their recipes! Craft them! (They might require using machines to make the items so check out that part of the quest!)

Asks for: Advanced Rail, Electric Rail, High Speed Rail, Reinforced Rail, Standard Rail, Wooden Rail

Track Kits are used to craft with rails to make special rails. These rails will be helpful for everything Train wise like: stopping the Train, moving the Train, and emitting redstone.

Asks for: Track Parts

These Track Kits are for using entities with your Carts (Entities aka Mobs). The Embarking Kit will pick up any Mobs nearby and put them in a Cart. The Disembarking Kit unloads Mobs from the Carts. The Dumping Kit will drop the mobs in the Carts below the tracks its on.

Asks for: Disembarking Track Kit, Dumping Track Kit, Embarking Track Kit

These 2 Track Kits are for using Carts and Redstone. The Activator Kit will activate whatever Cart goes over it. The Detector Kit will activate a redstone signal whenever a Cart passes over it. Both are similar to their Vanilla counters for regular tracks.

Asks for: Activator Track Kit, Detector Track Kit

These Tracks are made for stopping the Locomotives and Carts. The Locking Kit stops Carts and only starts them when given a redstone pulse. The Buffer Kit is for the end of your tracks, will stop them and not start. The Gated Kit just deploys a Fence Gate connected with the track.

Asks for: Buffer Stop Track Kit, Gated Track Kit, Locking Track Kit

The One Way Track Kit is quite simple. Carts can only go where the arrow is facing.

The Electric Tracks are used for the Electric Locomotives. They'll need to be powered by Frames and yes it will hurt you if you touch it.

Asks for: Electric Track

The Crowbar is the main tool of RailCraft. When used on a Locomotive it will change the direction it's facing. When shift clicked you can connect Locomotives and Carts. When just used on Carts they give them a slight push. And when used on special tracks they change their mode. The different Crowbars just give different looks and damage.

Reinforced Tracks are the upgraded version of normal rails! They're slighter faster and don't blow up. 1 2 3 4

Asks for: Reinforced Track

The Water Boilers are some of the most helpful machines from RailCraft. They need a Fuel Firebox and some sort of boiler on top. The Fueled Firebox can be 1x1 2x2 or 3x3. The size of the Firebox changes how big the Boiler on top can be. For 1x1 Firebox it can only have 1x1 Boiler. For 2x2 Firebox it can be a 2x2x3 Boiler. For 3x3 Firebox it can be 3x3x4. The Liquid Fuel will take Creosote to heat up. For Solid Firebox it'll use anything a furnace can use.

Asks for: Fluid Fueled Firebox, High Pressure Steam Boiler Tank, Low Pressure Steam Boiler Tank, Solid Fueled Firebox

The Steam Oven is another machine that uses Steam for something useful. By putting Steam into the Steam Oven it will act as a furnace to any items in it. Making Ingots from Ores and cooking food items. It's a 2x2x2 machine of Steam Oven blocks.

Asks for: Steam Oven

The High Speed Electric Tracks are like the Electric Tracks but faster! They also require what the normal High Speed Tracks require and what the Electric Tracks require. Speed Boosts and Frames to power them. Now you have to be careful around corners and with touching them!

Asks for: High Speed Electric Track

With this Quest page I took a lot of time coloring the texts to try and help you the Player understand what I am referencing. Only for me to realize it might be even more confusing, so here's a Legend! Purple is any Train or Locomotive, so both Electric and Steam Locomotives and Carts attached. Gold is any Tracks and Rails, includes special Rails but not Track Kits. Light Red stands for any Track Kits. Dark Red is for Crowbars. Cyan is for the Steam Locomotive only. Yellow is for only the Electric Locomotive. Blue is for the Tunnel Bore. Grey is for Minecarts and special Carts.

The Strap Iron Tracks, like the Abandoned Tracks, are perfect for the cheapskates. They go much slower than the other tracks but no risk of derailment!

Asks for: Strap Iron Track

The reason we're all here, Trains. The mod is called RailCraft don't act surprised. There's 2 different main Trains and 1 special mining Train. These Trains all by themselves can get a little boring, so why not attach Carts to them! Connecting Carts with Carts and with Trains is called Coupling, and to unconnect them is to Decouple. To Couple Trains and Carts use a Crowbar or a Track with the Coupling Track Kit.

Asks for: Minecart

These new Carts are mostly for laying down Tracks. The Track Layer places down Tracks while the Track Remover removes Tracks. The Track Relayer replaces the Tracks with different ones and the Track UnderCutter replaces the blocks beneath the Tracks.

The Fluid Loader will be helpful to keeping your Steam Locomotives up and running. It has to be placed a few blocks above the Tracks and it will deploy fluids into either the Locomotive or Carts.

In order to power your Electric Rails and your Electric Locomotive you'll need Frames. Frames need to be powered and will move power to each connected to Frame.

To actually use a Tunnel Bore you'll need a Tunnel Bore Head. They come in 4 different styles and it mines dependent on the Bore Head. It can be enchanted and has durability so you'll want to enchant it!

The Train Dispenser is a better version of the Cart Dispenser. It can Dispense the whole Locomotive and more! Set a pattern for what you want to be deployed then give it a redstone signal.

The Steam Locomotive is the most basic Locomotive. It can be powered by giving it water, furnance fuel, and waiting. It'll need constant water to keep working. Don't worry that just means the smoke coming out of the top of it is Water Vapor, which is safe for the Environment. Well the Coal part isn't the best for the Environment... eh its Minecraft what do we care!

Asks for: Steam Locomotive

The Item Unloader is the opposite of the Item Loader. It will take items from the Carts. This one must also be above the Track.

Abandoned Tracks are good for the cheapskates and aesthetic. They can be used to bridge accross a few blocks without support.

The Junction is the last Track made by the Spike Maul. It acts as a normal intersection for Tracks. Carts keep going the same way as before but now Tracks can intersect. What happens if 2 Carts hit each other on it? THEY EXPLODE!!! I'm kidding but Electric Locomotives will though.

Asks for: Abandoned Junction Track, Electric Junction Track, High Speed Electric Junction Track, High Speed Junction Track, Iron Junction Track, Reinforced Junction Track

The Turnout track is the first from hitting a track with a Spike Maul. It can help go two directions, forward and to a side. It can be switched with a Switch next to the track.
