Everything You Need To Know About The Rails Update In Astroneer
Before we get to the juicy stuff let me show you the other things that the update has added to the game. They’ve added new missions to the game that focuses on logistics and exploration. A great way to learn and understand the new rail system along with a new story mission that will make the overall narrative of the game even more exciting!
Now with that out of the way, we can now focus on the new Rails! The update added a lot of railway-related stuff. First of all, are the basic rail posts.
They come in standard and tall variants. The basic items you need to create your railway network. Speaking of networks, what’s a railway network without any engines on it?
Look at that beauty. You’ll be cruising around different worlds in style! The new rail engines offer a different way of transportation for players, including rail cars for lugging around resources.
Rail Junctions are there as well if you want a more complex railway. This baby can split a rail line into two, and offer 3-way connections.
There is also the Railway Station which can be a great tool in automating loading resources and other things into your cars!
These new goodies can give you access to a whole new sandbox of possibilities in Astroneer. Complex railway networks can be possible and automated resource management and logistics just got easier with these new additions to the game. Now go out there and make those tracks!
