Are a combination of Narrow, Standard, and Broad gauges, Trains of all types to go on one track. Could be made by throwing all three types in a mixer and getting 1 or 2 Universal Tracks.

Tell that to people who made this in Lithuania

Hey people in lithuania, we likely won't be adding rails that work like yours
Seriously though. That just smells like a compat nightmare
vocal cave
The system isn't flexible enough I guess
tender perch
Sadly not
vocal cave
I know that you can place two rails really close side by side, due to their hitbox being a single block (at the moment of 0.5.1b, 1.19.2)

this isn't two different gauges on top of each other, it's instead two pairs of the same gauge track on top of each other
like this
vocal cave
In fact, it's 1520mm and 1435mm tracks
vocal cave
Those look sorta stable enough, although some Z-fighting is present
Although yeah, kinda messy
half ridge
simple z fighting fixes then
fleet robin
aw why not
i see how this could be useful
also how hard could it possibly be
i mean we can drive trains on monorail tracks and vice versa
so shouldnt this be possible?
vocal cave
i mean we can drive trains on monorail tracks and vice versa
They fixed it afaik
vocal cave
The system isn't flexible enough I guess
And fixed it with not enough flexible solution to accommodate a single track accomidating both bogie scales/classes
agile swift
Completely defeats the point of different gauges
no it doesnt
theres still alot of space needed for the big one
plush gazelle
you could always make the models have little bits of height variation
so that they dont Z fight
half ridge
the z fightings a simple fix. just move the track position up or down by like 0.01
fleet robin
this looks ugy as hell tho
and doesnt work in the same way
we mean in the same block
have a dual gauge track
agile swift
Ik
fleet robin
like this
that seems so useless
it would save metal if you make them drive on the same track
sonic lichen
Yeah
"Gauntlet Tracks," as they're called, were used in regions being upgraded to 2-track, where two separate tracks couldn't be installed due to something that couldn't be easily moved/expanded.
So, to save materials and manpower on switches, gauntlet tracks were installed instead

So if I'm understand this correctly we're never getting tracks like these?

how the fuck did you do that
low bolt
I'm guessing the larger track is an insanely long s-bend
fleet robin
I'm guessing the larger track is an insanely long s-bend
right
slate aurora
They're both going up a max length 1 block slope
I understand why they don't want to do double gauge with offset centers like the previous example, but why would they not do track like the example I showed?
low bolt
Would be great for stations that can handle more types of trains

phantom tracks is kinda this function wise as i remember
all sizes trains can run on it
so i can imagine the functions to this is there just not the model of the tracks for this

yeah i dont get whats so hard about making these
well i guess it takes time
but its something the community wants
fleet robin
Completely defeats the point of different gauges
also it totally doesnt
it would be really cool having two gauges on the same track for stations and certain areas where two different gauges couldnt run together
say you have a mainline and a branchline with the mainline operating hourly and the branchline operating every 10 minutes. because the branchline is a windy mountain track, the branchline uses narrow gauge. the mainline uses standard gauge. on the mainline, theres 2 stations (that are of importance), and the branchline needs to go to both stations before branching off. using a dual gauge railway would be very efficient (and cool) in that scenario.
look
its cool af

how the fuck did you do that
i think thy used back magic
sonic lichen
Maybe to make a double gauge track, you'd need to deploy both gauges as different tie types onto an incomplete sturdy sheet (after spouted lava), then press the whole thing twice
Meaning to automate it, you'd practically have to make two track factories and a sturdy sheet factory

The main, use I see for it is when you're using 2 gauges but you want to do a tunnel or bridge, it would permit them to share it instead of having to build two of them.

don't know if anyone would care but there is a thing in real life called a triple gauge which is pretty much what everyone is discussing already but this would be cleaner than overlaying all 3 types of tracks on top of each other

you can put larger trains onto smaller tracks idk if you can put smaller onto larger

That wouldn't work because the center of the bogeys would be diferent for every gauge

i assume it would be for mergin the tracks onto one line and splitting them back up afterwards
plush gazelle
The only way we could do this is like squish the tracks onto each other
Since it'll still have to run on a graph
And that graph will be in the middle of the track
cyan obsidian
thunder when are we getting the SnR sex update
plush gazelle
Uh no
cyan obsidian
slate aurora
And that graph will be in the middle of the track
So like the picture I showed?
plush gazelle
No
That picture means there would have to be 3 different graphs
It'd have to be like this
Yellow being the graph and red being tracks
Or well half a track

slate aurora
Isn't that what's in my picture though?
