So, I decided to play around with the new minecart system a little bit. I want to set up a simple route that takes food from the pile near the farms and brings it down one level to the secondary food pile near the kitchens and dining room. The bottom half was carved in natural stone with no problems and looks like a proper continuous track, including the ramps. However, the top half is in the dirt layer and has to be constructed. I don't really understand what all the different directions mean in the construction menu (aside from the corners and intersections) and when I tried to build multiple tiles of track, it appears as disjointed tiles instead of a continuous one. Can someone please explain to me how to properly build the damn thing.

Also, is silver armor any good? I got artifact silver helm and I wanna give it to my militia commander, 'cause he'll look like a pimp.
And finally, can giant mosquitoes breed? I got pair that are somewhat trained and want to try raising them as war animals. (if yes, do they need a nestbox?)

Not sure about the minecarts thing, but I'm pretty sure silver armor is trash.  It's penetrated too easily by any metal weapon (except silver edged weapons).  It's an artifact, so that helps, but I doubt it will make up for the fact that it's silver.

I also don't think giant mosquitoes can breed.  If I recall correctly the templated applied to them modifies the mosquito creature, which can't breed.  I think someone tried this with giant grasshoppers or something and it didn't work.

the giant bugs have their own raws I think, but they lack any child tags. Furthermore, MAXAGE is 1:1, so unless you change that it's a doomed breeding program

Oh, the MAXAGE thing was what I was thinking about.  Yeah, in either case it won't work.  Easy to mod yourself though.  Just add the child tags and increase the max age to like 10:15 or something reasonable.

For minecarts, ignore the directions like (SWE), cause those will just confuse you. Instead look at how they look like. They appear just like you would expect tracks to look when viewed from top-down.

So, a track that looks like

Code: [Select]

=means the cart can go on it left and right, or "horizontally".

A track piece that looks like

Code: [Select]

||means the cart will go up/down, or "vertically".

The Connections will then start to make sense.
