Railtool

The Railtool is the core tool used to build railway tracks in SubwaySim 2. It allows you to create drivable rail networks that can later be used by player-controlled and AI-controlled trains.

Using the Railtool correctly is essential for:

• Proper track geometry
• Smooth vehicle movement
• Correct switch behavior
• Reliable AI routing and timetables

This section explains the complete workflow required to build functional rail infrastructure.

The Railtool system is divided into three main areas, each covering a specific part of track construction:

• Creating a Superstructure

Defines the physical and visual properties of tracks, such as rail profiles, sleepers, ballast, and materials.

  The superstructure is the foundation for all track segments created with the Railtool.

• Laying Tracks

Covers the actual placement of track splines in the level, including straight segments, curves, and standard switches created directly with the Railtool.

• Importing Switches

This section is optional and only required for complex or special switch constructions, such as:

• Double slip switches
• Double crossover switches
• Switches with special geometry or construction types

  Simple switches created directly with the Railtool do **not** require this step.

Please continue with the following chapters for detailed instructions:

• Creating a Superstructure
• Laying Tracks
• Importing Switches

Each chapter explains its respective topic step by step and provides best practices for building stable and functional track layouts.
