-To make a new rail, place two rail nodes and connect them using rail connectors. Rail nodes can also be rotated 90 degrees, 45 degrees or 22.5 degrees. While connecting the rails, you may see information about your rail, such as the XYZ offset, the horizontal radius and the total lenght. If you'd like to see this information after you connected your rails, point your crosshair to one of its rail nodes and look in the direction of the desired connection. Holding a rail related item, such as a brush, connector or node will show the type and arrows (if one-way) of every rail. To remove a rail connection, break one of the nodes or use the rail remover item.
