Factorio Forums

Hi all, I'm new to Factorio, and am currently playing the normal not the space age one.

I'm getting lost in trying to find an Elevated Rails mod, I tried to use Earlyvated Rails (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/EarlyvatedRails) but that shows one of the dependencies as red which I'm guessing means it's not available.

Does anyone know of an elevated rails mod that works please?

Elevated rails is part of the Space Age expansion. It's not standalone. You need to buy Space Age to have it. If you just started with Factorio and you don't yet have Space Age, I recommend you simply ignore it. It's not vitally important. We played 10 years without elevated rails and were successful.

Ah thanks for that, I'd got the impression that it was a mod for the normal one somehow.

Never mind, I've just cleaned my map so I'm doing a redesign so I'll plan better

It is a mod — a mod which you get access to by buying the Space Age expansion. There are 3 mods in the expansion:

• Elevated Rails
• Quality
• Space Age (requires Elevated Rails and Quality)

After the purchase, you can choose to play a game with just Elevated Rails enabled and no Space Age.

I've got plenty to learn on the normal game first before I go for the space age one lol.
