Linetrack (1F616EMO Refactor)
This mod has been adopted to Advtrains 2.5, and is only supported on this version and later versions. If you are using Advtrains 2.4 or earlier, please use the unmaintained
pre-2.5branch.
This mod adds lines on both water and land that function like tracks. Current, boats on water and buses on land are supported.
This mod was authored by Hume2, contributed by gpcf and Blockhead before refactored by 1F616EMO.
Because we need more flavour than just trains
Linetrack is a mod that adds "boats" that are secretly Advtrains that move on "tracks". You can't pilot the boat yourself, but you can set it up to move along a regular public transport route. This adds a new opportunity for public transport simulations where train bridges and tunnels would not make sense.
The mod comes with a full set of tracks and signals to let you operate a ferry service just like you would with Advtrains. You can even move the boat up- and downstream. You'll need to learn about how Advtrains works to make multiple ferries operate with signals.
Some players may not enjoy the boat noises, though the engine will stop when the boat does.
