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 obtainable 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”.
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.
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
The map can be moved around by left-clicking + dragging the map, and can be zoomed in and out by using the mouse scroll or the + and - buttons provided.
Stations and Routes tab
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 | |
| Route(s) at Platform |
Depots tab
Siding configuration
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 | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Siding Number | <li>Trains in a depot will be deployed according to the siding number</li>.<li>If two sidings have the same number, a random train between the sidings will be deployed. | 1 |
| Selected Vehicle | Vehicles that will be spawned in that siding. Click Edit to edit the formation. | N/A |
| Maximum Vehicles for Siding1) | Maximum number of formations of trains that can be spawned from that siding. | 1 |
| Vehicle Acceleration2) | Acceleration value for all formations of trains in this siding. | 4.0m/s² (14.4km/h/s) |
| Vehicle Deceleration3) | Deceleration value for all formations of trains in this siding. | 4.0m/s² (14.4km/h/s) |
| Increase Speed When Delayed4) | If the train is running behind schedule in ATO mode, the train will run at x% above the speed limit to try and running back on schedule. x=value set | 25% |
| Reduce Dwell Time When Delayed5) | If the train is running behind schedule in ATO mode, the train will reduce x% dwell time at each station to try and running back on schedule. x=value set | 100% |
| Wait at Platform When Early6) | If the train is running ahead of schedule in ATO mode, the train will stop at the station and wait until the expected departure time. | True |
| Drivable Vehicle7) | When turned on, the train will be able to operate manually by any player holding an appropriate Driver Key. | False |
| Maximum Drive Speed8) | Maximum speed that a train can reach in manual driving mode. | 300km/h |
| Drivable Timeout9) | When the ATO mode will kick in after any player on the train no longer hold an appropriate driver key. | 0 min 10.0 sec |
If the siding is set to be a drivable vehicle, the value for Maximum Vehicles for Siding must be 1.
Selecting vehicles
By default, no vehicles are specified to spawn in a siding, even if it is within a siding. Players can press the + button to the right of each vehicle listed in the Available column to add a vehicle to spawn. Any vehicles that can't be spawned in that siding due to insufficient length will have a ⚠️ rendered before the name, and are unable to add to the Selected column.
In the Selected column, players can press Up / Down buttons to the right of each vehicles to change the order of the vehicles, or remove the vehicles from the list.
A “Duplicate Cars” option is available to allow players to duplicate the formation pattern.
Depot configuration
When the Depots tab is selected, and the player pressed the Edit (the pencil) button of a depot, the depot configuration screen is displayed. This is where the player can define the instructions for the depot.
| Field | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule: Minecraft Time / Real Time | Schedule for when trains should depart from the depot. | Minecraft Time |
| 00:00-00:59 ~ 23:00-23:59 | Sliders for how many trains should depart from the depot per hour. | 0.0/hr |
| (Real time entering field) | Field for entering real-time schedule. The time should be entered in HH:MM:SS format. Adding +x*HH:MM:SS after the timestamp can add x more departures with a gap of the given time. | N/A |
| Depot name | Name of the depot. | Untitled |
| Depot Colour | Colour of the depot | Random HEX value |
| Edit instructions | Menu for editing instructions for all trains within the depot. | N/A |
| Instant Deploy | Button for deploying all trains to the route instantly. | N/A |
| Refresh Path | Button for refreshing the paths of the instructions. | N/A |
| Clear vehicles | Button for clearing all trains of that depot that are out of the depot. | N/A |
| Repeat Instructions Forever | When enabled, all trains will repeat the instructions forever, without returning to the depot. | False |
