We dont NEED a train but there is many things in this game that we dont really NEED but would be fun to play with none the less. I just figured it would be an interesting endgame goal to restore a rail network and have fun with a train for the hell of it. Just use the mini bike and backpack and it's fine. I've built massive and elaborate structures and never needed anything like that to transport materials. 'Do we really need them in 7 Days to Die?' MadMole has already flat out stated TFP have no plans for anything like that.Īlthough. Originally posted by LuckyStar:It's always someone fresh from Minecraft who makes these posts. If nothing else it would be something cool for a modder to implement if they ever felt the inclination to do so. I know this is not the most practical idea or even a very good idea especially with the new jeep we will be getting but i always liked the idea of using pre-existing infrastructure in apocalypse games and i think a train would be a great end game goal to work for. The train would have an incredibly large storage capacity making it possible for you to haul ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of raw materials and loot back to your base. Once completed you will be able to travel on the pre-existing rail network or any additional rail lines you have built. It would require a tremendous amount of steel, iron, mechanical parts, etc along with finding/buying the schematics for each part including the steam/diesel engine.

Piece by piece you would have to craft and assemble it until you had it completed. To aquire the train you would have to find a small stretch of rail line on a level grade and its assembly would be similar to any other vehicle in this game. Biodiesel would be easy to craft but not as efficent vs Diesel manufacturered by shale oil. Wood would be the least efficent and it would take vast amounts of wood to run the steam engine and coal would be leagues more efficent. I figured we could have a sort of steam/diesel engine train that runs off of coal/wood or biodiesel/diesel. It would be pretty neat if on every map there was a rail network that connected all major cities with the possibility to expand said rail network by producing more rail lines and creating junctions.

Think minecraft only on a much larger and much more elborate scale. How cool would it be if it was possible to use a train in 7 days to die.
