Floating Trains and more | Create Steam n Rails 

Seems like I missed some critical details of the new update, thank you to everyone who filled me in! -You can hold ALT while placing a bogey to get a ton of new variants, including a invisible version -If you use snow instead of slabs under a decorative phantom rail, you get a smoother slope -When controlling a conductor, you can interact with buttons and levers -When controlling a conductor, you can teleport thorough vents at a range of 64 blocks -Conductors do need to be loaded the session you are playing in to control them, they do not work if never loaded -If you name a hat 'sus' you turn into a conductor, and can use vents -Vent blocks work as copycat blocks and can be given any texture -The brass and andesite switch do NOT work the same, the brass switch can be controlled from the drivers seat of a train by holding space, and will be automatically switched by a train on a schedule. The andesite switch can only be controlled by interacting with it via Redstone of thrown objects

A lot of people have mentioned the vent blocks and conductors, but I also want to mention that if you hold alt with a train casing, you can get quite a few more bogey types (including invisible bogeys)

heads up, the vent blocks are essentially a copycat block too and can be disguised as a different block

My head immediately went to -using the little guys as security cameras -minigames

when making slopes using phantom tracks, you could use snow layers under it to give it a smoother feel

One clarification: conductors *DO* have to be loaded for you to 'spy' through them, the conductor @polartt used was probably in spawn chunks (and therefore always loaded) Also, remote-controlled conductors can interact with certain blocks including: Trapdoors Buttons Levers

Campfire smoke can pass through any block if placed directly above

The conductors can also go through lines of vent blocks, and they also allow you to remotely control your trains.

Gosh it's so cool to see the stuff that you modeled be featured in a video like this (Hi, I'm the dev that did the models for the switches and the art for the remote lens)

Things Polar didn't mention: - When controlling a Conductor you can press buttons and levers, and can control trains - If you name a Conductor's Hat 'sus' in an anvil, you become a conductor when wearing it, and your nametag disappears. - When you're wearing the 'sus' hat, you can right-click on vents to teleport to the other end of the vent, with a max vent range of 64 blocks. - If you hold ALT when placing a train bogey you can get several new bogey types, including an invisible bogey - Vent blocks are copy-cat blocks and can be right-clicked with any full block to give it that texture

The brass switch actually will auto switch the tracks when there’s a SCHEDULED train on the line. So it’s partially more automated. The andesite is fully manual. Fun thing with track switches is that you drift with trains on them. For example get the front bogey past a track switch. Then switch the tracks and keep driving. Resulting in the train on multiple rails.

the vent blocks can be used with the conductor to make them teleport. Thats why the vent blocks were rainbow when you were controlling the conductor.

Quick heads up: the andesite and brass switches do NOT actually work the same way. The andesite one can only be controlled via projectiles or redstone, whereas you can throw a brass one from the driver's seat of an oncoming train (as long as it's not locked by redstone). Just hold space while approaching the switch.

I feel like the phantom slopes effect would work well on a roof because most roofs don't need collision

btw if you give a little guy a redstone link you can control him through redstone signals, he has many implimentations e.g. give him a toolbox for portable toolbox and i think a wrench idk but its pretty cool

Me and my friend used the invisible tracks to make self driving cars :)

With vent blocks. If you use a conductors remote lens and click on a row of vent blocks. You will be teleported to the other end while as the conductor

Things he didnt mention: name a conductors cap "sus" then weat to become a conductor. Conductors and people who are wearing sus cap's can vent vents dont let smoke trough they are to vent

You've also missed that Vent block i sactually for that new conductor functionality as well, since they can tp between ends of connected vent blocks. Yes, it's amogus reference 💀

with phantom train tracks and metal girders in your left hand you can "place" metal girders at 45°

The only thing Steam and Rails is missing is a smokestack extension that matches it in texture and color without using something like a wall (girders work but the color doesn't match).

Remote controlled conductors can use redstone levers and buttons. A fun way to operate a "telepresence" when someone visits your base while you are away.

That Phantom Rail is awesome. Makes me wish for a Helix / Inline Twist piece, so you can make a train line that moves like some Star Fighter.

the remote lense seems like a lot of fun, but the phantom rails gave a lot of inspiration for builds like flying spooky train, hoverboards, and planes and boats like you showed us in the video My favorite feature is definitely phantom rails

We found this out on the Create the Server server: you can use vents to make the conductors move super quickly! They teleport to the end of any loaded vent.

I knew about the new phantom tracks but when you moved the conductor I was as surprised as you! Great vid, keep up the great work!

Fun fact about Remote Lensed Conductors: You can still interact with buttons and levers while in control of them.

The conductor also fits in 1 block gaps and seems like mobs don't attack it either. Ive been playing a survival world with a bunch of Create mod addons, including Steam N Rails and I use it to scout out areas, like bastions in the nether and for caves. Also you can disguise the vent block, like the copycat step and copycat panel. And the monorail works on the phantom tracks and vice versa.

The long smokestack is based off of diesel locomotive exhaust pipe (It’s called a smokestack still) and would be found on the center of an North American modern locomotive. Also, the Andesite Switch or IRL a Target Switch Stand is supposed to be set up with the target displaying its face when you are diverging and the face should be barely visible when going straight. Sorry for my technical know how!

Been playing with the update on our server for a while now and I literally have a massive facility with a station built in to make all the track variants as well as 30 double chests to store them all. This mod is amazing!

5:19 From experience, use snow layers cuz you can't see the blocks anyways, it's really cool to get realistic motorway elevation

I appreciate that your commentary/dialog isn't insanely exaggerated. It's just you talking like a normal person instead of "GUYS THIS IS ABSOLUTELY. INSANE. I'M LOSING MY MIND GUYS."

Neat idea for the sloped surface with phantom tracks: a smooth curved road with cars that drive around

If you place a long chain of connected vent blocks, you can go to another side using the conductor

did you know that if you have a line of vent blocks when you are controlling a conductor you can press space while on the vent to vent ... like in among us teleporting the conductor around making navigation between areas with just one conductor really quick making it the best thing in the update(not just becaues of the among us refrence)

The phantom tracks are a god send I have this base thag is supposed to be an abandoned haunted steampunk manor and i had a train running around, now i can move it to the air freely Also couldn't you technically use the conductors to load remote chunks to keep factories running?

Phantom track can be used for ghost trains traveling where rails are used to be, and they can be used for derailment like a train falling into a ditch or simply run off the tracks.

I have a request for you. You see, I am working on a project. I’ve tried many times to create a working great glass elevator, moving vertically and horizontally. However, every time, the result was always a failure. As a result, I ask you whether to create it in a separate video, or as as a part of another. I would really appreciate it; have a nice day 😊!

Steam ‘N Rails has alot of hidden features that are rlly cool

I just found photosynthasia! Great song and nostalgic somehow aswell

Love the little spy guy :D

Very cool update video!! Thanks. ;)

really like the fanum tax in this one

The true purpose of the vent blocks is the "venting" mechanic where you can control the conductor and go through the vent block like you where "venting"

After lots of time you are back!!

You can use the Vent block to vent through it with a conductor

The andesite dudes can vent in the vents.

The remote lenses can be used as a security system/ camera

You can use conductors to go through vent blocks

hello, good to see your coming back to making content

I love watching you!

you can also use biome mods with the mod adds all thair planks

Is no one talking about the headless gingerbread man running around at the beginning of the video?

The remote lens allows you to spy on people by sending them a train and then leaving the train there

I really hope someone makes a coaster track mod or that they even add it in this mod. Ive been using it to make coasters in my theme park but I cant do loops yet

you could use the conducter as a security camera

Nice video, also I just love your skin 😍

бро это круто снимай дальше )

Vents are for conductors!

Great video 🔝👍

As a note, I've found that remotely connecting to conductors only works if the chunk was loaded at some point that session Also, player controlled conductors can interact with redstone things, and are _very_ prone to taking fall damage

Regarding your feedback on vents... I imagine if there's compatibility with Advanced Chimneys, that mod could match your feedback almost exactly.

I love this addon

I'm looking forward to your review of the Extended Boggies mod once's it's fully released.

Awesome!

you forgot to mention that you can vent with the vent blocks as a conductor

Could you make a video potentially showing how to do custom recipes with KubeJS?

Yes

The vent block has no special use with the campfire, the only directly above it is the same for any block and campfires.

GRAHHH I CAN FINALLY BUILD A BIG TRAIN

can you interact with buttons or levers when controlling the conductor with the remote lense?

U can among us with connected vents with the conductors.

Try wenting with the conductor

What version of minecraft has the best of create mod/create mod addons? I want to get back in to minecraft create mod but I want to know what versions the best. Also great vid once more!

He back

Finally, Galaxy Express 999

Hi great video! Glad to see some more love for trains in create :) Is it possible to share the modrinth link from now on instead? As Curseforge's practices have been quite anti-competitive against open source launchers.

Use sus hat and right click vent

the smoke stack and vent block thing isnt how it works as the smokestack smoke follow the same code as the campfires and instead what you do is that you can put goggles on conducters an use a romote lense and then when controling the conducter you can walk into vent block and go to the other side and then you can also make them lool like other block like copy cat pannels and so allways know what block the vent block is when disguiesed, the conducters see them as like e thermal vision but only on that block.

Can the conductors activate pressure plates? becuase then the possibilities are endless.

For the Remote Lense, does it work if we're in the nether?

are all the others out yet?

When you control the littel guy you use the vent ass elevator or for oter purpus

Am i the only one worried about the little headless gingerbread man running around? 😢

Steampunk mumbo

you may or may not have forgotten to link the old video in the description

The fact that he saw the rainbow on the Vents but missed the entire point of them is frustrating me beyond belief

budget create: aeronautics and submarines

have you noticed that the vent block was rainbow in 11:02

I can't access the narrow or wide train tracks... How to get thatttt

was out like years ago

Someone should build the train from N64 Rainbow Road.

for the love of god please I hope they make it compatible with the latest version of sodium soon

Thats not the real use of vent block, the real use for it is to teleport. By wearing a conductors cap named "sus" you will become a conductor which allows you to use vent block. They must be connect like a worm to work

you're so skibidi, you're so phantom tracks

How to place these boge?

GHOST TRAIN GHOST TRAIN GHOST TRAIN GHOST-

Hey what happened to create the server

how do i make phantom rails ;--;

it sounds like your saying fanum tax instead of phantom tracks 💀
