The Dashboard is one of the most fundamental items in the MTR Mod! In contrast to mods like Create which have minimal User Interface screens, MTR Mod have the requirements of managing large-scale automated transport networks, therefore it is important that players are kept in the loop about their the status of their network no matter where they are.

This is where Dashboard comes in. It is obtainable in the form of an Item (Either in the Creative Inventory, or Craftable in survival). When the item is used, it will open up a UI screen which shows all the station, routes and depots that has been created in this world.

While the MTR Mod has its origin around metro/trains, it also supports other transport types such as Boats/Planes. As such multiple types of Dashboard exists for each transport type.

Rails in MTR Mod is another fundamental concept, these are essentially tracks for train to run on. Unlike other train mod, each piece of track have a designated speed in which the automated train that is running on the rail will try to follow.

But what about boat & buses you may ask?

Rails are equally applicable to boats, planes and more! A better way to think of Rail is that it is a path for automated vehicles to follow. It is possible to change the appearance of a piece of rail by applying 3D model, or even without any model at all (an invisible path), which makes it suitable for transport types like buses & boats.

We'll go through on how to connect these rails later!
