Building Fast Player Transit with Glide Rails

Glide rails provide an overhead transit system for players to travel quickly between different rooms and workshops in a base.

Laying Out Overhead Rail Routes

1. Plan out an overhead route connecting distant sections of your base.

2. Place glide rails along ceilings, rafters, or suspended structures to create an unobstructed track between your destination points.

3. Ensure the rail line forms a continuous path from start to finish without gaps or blocks obstructing the rail path.

Gliding Along the Track

1. Equip a Wrench in your hand.

2. Stand near the start of the overhead rail track and right-click directly on the glide rail.

3. Your character will hook onto the rail and glide along the track with sparks flying, delivering you rapidly to the other end of the line.

4. Use this overhead rail network to bypass cluttered factory floors, kinetic machinery, and pneumatic tube pipelines without taking up floor space.
