How to Build Modern Glass Station Roofs and Waiting Areas

Laying Out the Station Platform

Create clean passenger boarding areas using the mod's transit platform blocks.

1. Lay your station platform blocks parallel to the station track to establish the boarding edge.

2. Set up station platform markers to designate where carriages will stop and where passengers should queue.

3. Expand the floor backward from the track to form a spacious waiting concourse.

Constructing Frameless Glass Roofs

Traditional glass blocks create bulky grid lines when used overhead. You can use frameless glass blocks and panes to build open, daylight-filled station canopies.

1. Erect support pillars along the back edge or center of your platform.

2. Extend roof rafters outward over the waiting area and over the tracks.

3. Fill in the roof spans using frameless glass blocks. Because these blocks lack border frames, they produce a seamless, smooth canopy.

4. Place frameless glass panes along the sides of the waiting area to protect passengers from the elements while maintaining full visibility down the line.
