FAQ
Mechanics and game mode introduction
How can I play together with my friend?
You have to open a private online lobby via Play Game>Online>Create Private Lobby or you have to stay in any (public) lobby with less than 4 players. Your friend can then join you by either
- entering the session ID after navigating in game to Play Game>Online>Join Private Lobby,
- right-clicking you in your Steam friends list and then clicking on Join Game,
- or clicking on your discord icon and the clicking on Ask to Join,
Or, while being in the lobby, you can click on the + in the discord message bar and on Invite <channel> to play Unrailed! to send an invite out to a channel.
What input devices can I use? What are the controls?
Keyboard Map
We support 1 keyboard and up to 4 controllers. Furthermore each input device can be used as two using the Split Input button. Keyboard controls can be remapped by following the instructions found in the #faq channel of the Official Unrailed! Discord Server.

Controller Map
This is the default controller configuration.
Emoji Cheatsheet
On keyboard [CTRL] or [E] opens the emoji wheel in-game and [SPACE] switches pages. The same can be done on controller by pressing the [L] trigger to open the emoji wheel and the [R] trigger to switch pages. Holding both buttons simultaneously will automatically open the 2nd page and there are 3 pages in total. The first 2 pages of emojis all have keyboard keybinds for quicker accessibility. See the keyboard map or the emoji cheatsheet below:

How can I remap the keyboard bindings?
Put a keyboardremapsingle.txt, keyboardremapleft.txt or keyboardremapright.txt into
- %localappdata%\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Unrailed\GameState\AllPlayers (Windows)
- Library/Application Support/UnrailedGame/GameState/AllPlayers/ (MacOS)
- ~/.local/share/UnrailedGame/GameSate/AllPlayers (Linux)
An example can be found here: File:keyboardremapsingle.txt
Graphics
The game runs with suboptimal FPS or has micro lags
Either lower your graphic or add the launch option --force-opengl by right clicking on Unrailed in your Steam library, and going to General>Set Launch Options.
How can I change the graphics settings?
- From the main menu walk and click on Settings>Graphics.
- If the game is running to slow to change it in game, then in
- %localappdata%\Daedalic Entertainment GmbH\Unrailed\GameState\AllPlayers\settings.txt (Windows)
- Library/Application Support/UnrailedGame/GameState/AllPlayers/settings.txt (MacOS)
- ~/.local/share/UnrailedGame/GameSate/AllPlayers/settings.txt (Linux)
you can find a line “quality x” where x is a number. Change x to 0 for low settings.
