Working on the ships mod today trying to add over-sea invisible rails that work as ship routes, but find that currently only "regular" rails are supported. Will custom rail category be added to the todo list in later version?

Not likely as it would require a complete re-write of how the rail system works.

Suggested alternative: AAV uses a pathing system for vehicles. Maybe use something similar while doublechecking you're over a water tile all the time? And if rail is not feasable, use the flight mechanic to get around the inability for land vehicles to get over water tiles? I'd love to see a working ship mod.
