HOW TO BUILD FOUNDATIONS THAT PERFECTLY FOLLOW RAIL CURVES! SATISFACTORY

[@TotalXclipse]

I've used the pillar technique a few times, but never considered working out the intervals to get the foundations to align! Very smart, great video!

[@DatOneSwedishBoi69]

You know you made it when TotalXclipse comments on your Satisfactory video

[@FalconDS9]

pillars and road barriers, the unsung heroes of this game. it always amazes me how many more things you can do with these. learned something here, thx for this information.

[@mcstronghuge]

Dang this means I could use rails to craft curvy buildings. nice!

[@luckymandragoran8471]

how have i managed to go 3 years playing satisfatory without ever coming across this method?! omg this is gonna change a lot of things for me

[@NewZeroGames]

If anybody has problems with corners sticking out, do this but use the lines that are on the sides of the rail and put one pillar every 5 lines and then use half foundations instead

[@Mono-dj4lo]

You sir are a Scholar and a Gentleman, you have no idea how long ive been looking for this Double track solution

[@The-B]

Didn't know the pillars would snap to the rail, thats clever

[@matt69nice]

1:40 The reason it doesn't quite align is because the curve shape is different if you build the curve between a fixed start and end point vs if you build it freeform (i.e. fixed starting point and don't connect it to another track piece). Interesting quirk. Issue is that the curve is smoother (closer to a perfect circle) if you draw freeform than it is if you draw it between two fixed points. You'll see this if you try to build a roundabout (circle); the last piece you place will be a weird shape. So if you're using this technique you should try to do it as you're building the track out instead of waiting until you have two fixed points the curve has to fit between.

[@hilmanluthfi742]

OMG the simplest solution for track foundation. Thanks!

[@kuboskube]

PERFECT!!!! I've been struggling VERY HARD with making a good curve for my rails in a mk1 Blueprint, but this gives me hope that I won't have to cut corners to have a beautiful track! Well, aside from the part where I cut literally every corner.

[@MrBwian]

Yup, I have many hours in the game (3000+) and never thought about this. Just goes to show that we can all learn something new. Excellent explanation, top job fella

[@bartzzz16]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been struggling so much doing foundations for rail lines!

[@GokaiGoblin]

Huh, never knew it was that simple... Will be making use of this in 1.0! Thanks!

[@EnderpriseArchitecture]

I can't believe I've got a thousand hours in this game and have never seen this pillar method before! Nice tip, thanks for sharing!

[@marcbennett9232]

Agree! I've got 2000 hours in and I still learn new things.

[@jkleylein]

I've been using this technique for a couple years now since they added the columns. I usually use the small pillar, though; same effect. I use this technique for making curved roadways, too.

[@SpicyD_]

Best tutorial for this i've ever seen, thank you. May i suggest turning the music more down? It's kind of distracting (at least for me) trying to follow the video and your instrcutions

[@saeruji]

While mathematically it can have unperfections, the end result is easy and astonishing. This method can be used to make roads for cars, too.

[@Snuclear]

seems very tedious doing this tho, why dont the devs make this a bit easier for us? lol

[@Rxckxt]

@@Snuclear anything worth doing is hard

[@joshwilson5375]

Now we have blueprints so we can make 4x4, 5x5 and I think 6x6 (late game) foundations blueprints for any buildings. Get creative and your time will be saved 😁

[@BadgerGnome]

This is amazing! Seriously thank you!

[@mymumbakescakes]

OMG another brilliant tip. You are the curve master.

[@Rxckxt]

MY MUM BAKES CAKES TOO!

[@gus.smedstad]

I've always gone the other way. Built a roadbed using foundations, and techniques for making smooth curves on roads. Then aligned the rail with the roadbed. It's interesting seeing an approach that goes the other way. Certainly the method you're outlining here is a *lot* faster, though I think there's considerable overlap between foundations. I don't know that there's any clean solution to ramps, just because rails bend vertically in ways foundations can't easily match. I go with the rail leaving the foundation bed for short distances.

[@Rxckxt]

@@gus.smedstad you can get it perfect using this method but it takes a little bit of patients

[@pmdpaula]

Melhor solução que vi até agora. E pelos comentários, não foi somente eu que achou isto. Vai me ajudar bastante. Valeu!

[@anthonypllu3864]

Dude, Ty so much works so well

[@SimonOpsi]

I'm mindblown by the perfection omg

[@lunchmoneyfor2]

Finally I can make curves that align to the grid!

[@molk415]

Damn finally, thanks, I was going crazy not knowing how to make decent roads

[@FreakMouse]

Awesome tip bro, thanks a lot!

[@_Kattivo_]

you open my mind to also make perfectly curved road using this same method.

[@ALMarkAZ1990]

Awesome. Bookmarked and liked, you have my thanks dude.

[@zawaser]

Cheers for this! Definitely going to try it out

[@Kev5565]

Wow thanks, no more jagged mess in my game

[@nakilad5542]

Very nice! I will for sure use that trick when 1.0 comes out, thanks!

[@davidyuhoo6808]

[@cryothic]

I love the way it looks. Great video. I'm going to use this once 1.0 comes out! But judging from the title, I was expecting a tutorial on laying the track itself in a nice curve, along a greater distance :D

[@Rxckxt]

you can make the rail any length you want then use this method with it.this is just an example. the greater the length the better it looks.

[@bjhtubewwd]

Excellent solution

[@christophostrowski3382]

That is a real good Tip! Thx

[@xenogrug]

That was cool man. I think you could use the same tactic to make nice smooth curvy roads through the terrain too. Thanks for the ideas this has spawned!

[@yomammasaurusrex9571]

Very useful for me as i just started building with rails yesterday. Will definitely be incorporating this method.

[@DatOneSwedishBoi69]

THANK YOU! This is absolutely brilliant and I wish you a very bright Satisfactory life from now on!

[@apexkech]

SICK video bro. Definitely going to be doing this in 1.0 for sure. Went into my own creative file just to practice this. Thanks!!

[@apexkech]

Worked like a charm. If you use the Steel Frame 4m foundations then it looks like a wooden roller coaster track 🤣

[@MB1968DO]

[@mooboy2000]

Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I've seen some amazing videos of the train setups but could never get mine to look ANYTHING like them. Now I have a base to work with. Keep being awesome.

You can also increase saturation values in the paint by manually putting in larger than the slider numbers to drown out the texture.

[@Rxckxt]

@@joehelland1635 i did not know that! Thanks!

[@joehelland1635]

@@Rxckxt i learned only a month ago myself 😀

[@XCanG]

Holy shit, this is even more huge for a completely different purpose! I was making road network and I want some specific angle, a sharp angles is too much and a small angle is hard to make. I did make an blueprints, but then there was never enough of them for all different cases. The other issue if I want to merge two platforms. While there are ways with pillars to put them in free style mode and place whenever you want, they still make from 2 planar sides one that have some diagonal cut, but the transition is still someone sharp, I wasn't able to make anything that have spline with custom curves. With this I can place rails with some padding from side on both left and right side of platforms I want to merge, did this trick to fill the side with foundations and fill rest with a regular foundations. And I think with this method I can create any custom angle whatever I need and it quite fast to place. I may also use this as a guides for blueprints. If I make 1x1 blueprint as a guide and place it in this curve, then use an actual blueprint and snap it on 1x1 blueprint guide, then I will have blueprints merged at a custom angles as well! I do need to test it tho, but it have so much potential!

[@LiLBitsDK]

interesting and very simple way for sure, very handy

[@TeamGamesBrasil]

Poderia fazer um vídeo mostrando como construir os trilhos com essas curvas suaves.

[@zakrhyno]

[@Tourist_McGee]

Layering foundations on top of each other like that doesn't cause issues? flickering and such?

If you have a double train rail, 2 next to eachother do you need to do it 2 times or just the outside one and extend it inwards? Thnx mate looks great thnx for tutorial
