You can do this without the mod. It’s a little more tedious, but you follow the same steps until you get to the barrier. After that, you need to place a packed rail station upwards then unpack it - it should connect to the previous rail if placed right. You’ll need to use a rail engine to continue going up. Keep unpacking rail stations above the previous ones and if you go up enough, you’ll flip. It’s recommended to go up from the other planet from here and then connect it. You need ~436 rail stations. Most likely very hard to do in survival but it’s possible!

I know. I think I mentioned it somewhere but I honestly don't remember. I recommend the mod because it's easier and it doesn't feel super cheaty to me, just makes a tedious task less tedious.

If I understand it correctly: There are two stages of interplanetary travel in Astroneer: Orbiting a planet, with fake representations of the other planets in the back, and the actual interplanetary orbit stage, at which you can hop from planet to planet. Still, the actual planets - those that have the stuff on their surface - are detached objects that do not correspond with the planets that we see "orbiting" the central star. It's two different systems. Is that why you can build a railroad (apart from a mod) between planets, because they don't actually move at all?
@Plaine26 күн бұрын
Technically you’re right but it’s unnecessarily complicated. Yes, there are “fake” images of the planets that appear to orbit around the sun, but the “real” planets are static according to the starmap. I wouldn’t call it 2 separate systems, just the “real locations” and the images. Using the knowledge of the static position of the “real” planets, it is possible to build a connection between them using rails. A mod isn’t even required, but without the mod it’s really difficult.
@TRG_TheRantingGerman26 күн бұрын
@@Plaine Yep, I just look at it from a developer standpoint (have worked for videogames over the years too among other things; I work mostly as a 3D & VFX artist), and to me it would make sense that you have a static location of the actual planets to refer to if need be (like when the player orbits the actual planet shortly before landing on it) and the solar system with all it's planets in their celestial movements. That would be two systems (technical systems that is) to switch and blend between to create that illusion. At least that seems to be the most straight forward way to do it I guess.

Is there a way to reach Gateway Portal with this mod? Do those towers need to be at the world height? Since the mod is making infinite connections, isn´t just modest tower enough? At 4:53 your rail is pointing to the right side, is it just bugging out, or connecting to some random rail left on some random planet? If you were to connect there, and ride it, would you end up in void or on one of your previously built rails?
@PlaineАй бұрын
Technically the towers don’t need to be up to the build limit, but it helps ensure the rails connect properly. The lower the tower, the wider the arc where rails will try to connect. It’s especially a problem on glacio and calidor because there are rail posts that your rails will try to connect to, so building high towers on both sides minimizes the interference. Other rail systems you already have in place can also cause interference, so which is why I build the towers. At 4:53, that rail is going off to another planet where a rail is placed. If you ride it, you’ll go to that other planet, you won’t go off into an infinite void.

I saw one guy doing this without any mods, he some how used a landing platform ( idk the correct english version so if its not correct, I meant a thing that a rocket lands on) to place railways in space. I think that it is already patched, but I just thought that it may blow your mind, because I think it was very difficult and monotonous

I know there are ways to do it without mods, but using the mod is definitely easier. (Also “landing platform” is close, the game calls it “landing pad” but the first is understandable)

The jetpack won't take you out of the atmosphere, but you can build ramps and walk up them without the jetpack. You could also use a rover with a paver and build a spiral ramp upward as well, though that will cost a lot of soil.
