How to Set Up Rail Transit for MineColonies Citizens

Laying Rails and Detector Stations

Citizens can use minecart rail systems for daily transit instead of traveling on foot across distant districts.

1. Lay standard minecart rails connecting remote workstations, mines, or residential zones to your central colony hubs.

2. Place detector rails at your designated passenger stops or station platforms.

3. Send citizens toward the transit line. The pathfinding logic directs citizens into minecarts along active rails and ensures they cleanly dismount when reaching detector rail stations.

Connecting Rails to the Road Network

Rail stations must integrate smoothly with built walkways to prevent pathing confusion.

• Pave station approaches: Connect rail stops directly to built roads and stone pathways. Citizens prioritize defined paths over raw terrain.
• Handle vertical inclines: If platforms are elevated or underground, build ladders or staircases. Citizens navigate steep hills, stairs, and ladders without slipping, falling, or erratic jumps.
• Prevent pathway deadlocks: If a path or track becomes blocked, citizens will automatically search for an alternative route or reset their position instead of staying trapped.
