Just putting this idea out there from a “freedom” point of view, since cars, boats and aircraft can pretty much go wherever they want I feel it would ashame for trains and stuff to be restricted to a pre placed track that everyone knows about and can easily avoid or ambush.
“but people would place tracks everywhere”… Actually they won’t, they would generally be better things to spend resources on and other players could easily spot your tracks and destroy them or even follow them to your base etc.
Wooden track/rail.
Can’t be repaired, only replaced when it breaks.
Low durability
Slower travel speed.
Metal tracks/rails.
Can be repaired before they break.
High durability.
Faster travel speed.
A rail system is expensive but requires one power source to power the entire circuit, so once the circuit was build it would be more efficient to run multiple trains/carts that it would for a group to constantly fuel multiple cars/boats/planes.
Basically big upfront resource cost but cheap to run.
For example the railway on Russia in unturned 3.0 is pointless, weak players avoid it and stronger players camp it/ambush it so owning the train isn’t lucrative at all, that’s why I suggest placing tracks/rails ourselves.
That is not realistic at all
To build a raillway you need to work with multiple people and have extreme precision , and terain needs to be relatively flat also rails are created using induced steel (it is hard to create it)
Remembers me of that area event central union railroad camp where there were multiple people hitting the train track with sledgehammers so that it would i think connect with the other track in Red dead Redemption 2.
I’m surprised trains even exist in the first place; given the circumstances, the rails probably would’ve been stolen, lots of precious metal waiting to be taken.
