Train
The train is the central focus of Unrailed!, and when it crashes the game ends.
The train is being pulled by an engine and consists of three other wagons: the Crafter, Storage, and the Tank. When playing Endless mode, additional wagons can be purchased with bolts; when playing a Quick or a Versus game, additional wagons will already be added to the train.
Upgrading the train engine serves 4 purposes in Endless:
- * It progresses the party into the next Biome,
- * It resets the speed of the train, no matter how fast it was going,
- * It allows the train to hold more wagon slots,
- * It increases the light radius of the engine during nights.
It is recommended to upgrade the train only when it is going too fast to keep up with it and as early as collecting the orange bolt.
In Endless, there are fifteen types of wagons, twelve in Time mode, that can be added to the train and each type of wagon can be upgraded two times in Endless to improve them with the exception of the Light and Compass wagon which can only be upgraded once. In Time mode, you can upgrade your wagons further using boxes. In addition to the different types of wagons, there are also seven different types of engines. Each of these is linked with a specific biome. When the engine is upgraded in Endless, the train will be able to carry an extra wagon (except for the Bonus Underwater biome).
