User blog:Moldypotato1337/My monorail experience

Alright so I was just playing survival 303 on the old map and I was really far and kinda bored so I decided to make something I saw on the achievements page called a monorail. I took my knife and got a whole lot of planks. Then I built a small platform with tree stumps and a makeshift ladder which will be my docking spot then made an about 10 plank long rail stretching out from it. I put 1 small compost on a plank above the rail and lined it with windows to make my cart. I put sticks on the sides so when I foraged the holding plank It would fall onto the rail and not be connected to the stud grid. But after I was done with it I couldnt get it to work and gave up on the 1 rail system.

So, I switched to 2 rails. I did the same thing above but had 2 rails with 4 studs inbetween them. For the cart I did the exact same thing but instead of lining the sticks outside of the rail, I put 4 sticks per cart on the inside of the 2 rails to minimise surface area and that was suprisingly highly effective, it traveled about as fast as a normal fast cart but looked alot cooler. So I continued building my duo-rail track and came out with a super long track that I was so proud of. I spent about 2 hours making it and was pretty boring just dragging planks all over the place. Finally It was done! Uuuuunntill some dude named king something or whatever foraged one of the central tree stumps and the whole thing fell down... :P So I got mad and killed him and sadly I disconnected withought even getting to take a video or even pictures of this masterpiece. Personally, my thoughts on making monorails is you have to really experiment with only 1 rail or else its going to take 2 times the normal time to build 2 rails and will be a big waste of time withought getting anywhere. But they are really fun to use and to show off! As long as there are no raiders...
