The Railway Dashboard, Boat Dashboard, Cable Car Dashboard, and Flight Dashboard are required to set up stations and routes in the world.
Obtaining
Crafting
Except Flight Dashboard, all dashboards are able to be made via Crafting.
| Name | Ingredients | Crafting Recipe |
|---|---|---|
| Railway Dashboard | Iron Ingot + Redstone Dust + Glass Pane + Glowstone Dust Shaped Recipe |  |
| Boat Dashboard | Planks + Redstone Dust + Glass Pane + Glowstone Dust Shaped Recipe |  |
| Cable Car Dashboard | String + Redstone Dust + Glass Pane + Glowstone Dust Shaped Recipe |  |
Usage
Dashboards will be opened when right clicked.
Tabs
The Railway and Boat Dashboard has three tabs used to manage the railway.
| Tab | Functionality |
|---|---|
| Stations | Add Station button |
| Routes | Add Routes button |
| Depots | Add Depot button |
Station / Route / Depot Name Field
When Add Station, Add Route, or Add Depot is clicked or when a station, route, or siding is being edited, the “name” field text box will appear at the bottom. Use the | character to separate different languages, for example 第一城|City One.
If left blank, the station or route will default to “Untitled”.
Station / Route / Depot Colour Field
When Add Station or Add Route, or Add Depot is clicked or when a station, route, or siding is being edited, the “colour” field text box will appear at the bottom, next to the “name” field. This text box accepts a RGB six-character hex code, composed of numbers or the letters A-F. Use a colour picker to easily generate a hex code.
If left blank, a random colour will be chosen.
Grouping Routes
Most of the time, a train line will have trains running in more than one direction. For example, a single line through a city will probably have trains running both outbound and inbound. In the game, an inbound and outbound route will have to be defined, creating two routes for a single line! Therefore, it is important to be able to group routes together.
When two or more routes share the same exact colour (same RGB hex code), they will be grouped together. On Railway Sign and Route Sign, the routes will be grouped into only one line name.
Two pipe characters, ||, are used to add notes to the end of each route. The notes will not be shown in any signs; they will only appear in the dashboard.
It is recommended to have the same line name (before the ||) for routes that need to be grouped together. For example, two routes in the same group could be named 東涌綫|Tung Chung Line||Westbound and 東涌綫|Tung Chung Line||Eastbound. If the line names are different, a random name will be chosen to be used on signs.
Using the Map
When either the Stations or Routes tab is selected and while not editing a station or route, a platform on the map can be clicked on to bring up a platform configuration screen. The following properties for a platform can then be edited:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Platform Number | |
| Dwell Time |
When the Depots tab is selected and while not editing a depot, a siding on the map can be clicked on to bring up a siding configuration screen. The following properties for a siding can then be edited:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Siding Number | |
| Train Type |
Stations can be created and shared across all dashboards, but platforms, routes, sidings, and depots are only created and visible within the dashboard of the transport type.
