Hyperloop is a traveling mod for a lag-free and fast traveling.
The player has to build stations and connect them by means of Hyperloop tubes. There is an admin tool available to crack tube lines.
The Station block is used to build Hyperloop stations. The station is build automatically. To build a station, place the station block, fill the inventory with the needed items, and press the "Build" button. The station door is always directed to the player.
After the station is build, place the Booking Machine somewhere near the station (wall or ground mounted) and enter the station name and some informational description into the Booking Machine form.
To build large networks with many stations, Junction blocks are useful.
Junction blocks allow up to 6 tube connections (one in each direction). But each junction/station can be reached from each point in the network within one trip.
If enabled, WiFi blocks can be used to build connections even over large distances without building a tube.
Two WiFi blocks can be paired by entering the same channel name into both WiFi block menus. Please note that for the pairing both WiFi blocks have been connected to tubes, otherwise no block menu will be available.
The Pillar block has no special meaning. It is useful to be able to build more realistic looking viaducts.
The waypoint can be used to mark the destination and therefore, reach the target easier when building underground tubes. The waypoint is only visible by the player, who placed the Waypoint plate.
In addition the the Hyperloop network the mod provides Elevator cars and Shafts to build lifts.
Depending on the configuration ("free tube placement enabled" enabled/disabled), elevator shafts can be build in all, or only in vertical direction. Please note that even if the shafts can be built in all directions, the cars must only be connected to the shafts on the top and bottom.
The Station Book is useful to find the next station or Junction and to find a broken tube line.
The Station Book can be used as tool.
With the left mouse button, up to 24 Station and Junction blocks in the neighborhood are shown.
With the right mouse button, only the Station and Junction blocks are shown which are connected to the next available station.
The Station Book shows:
- ID (row) number
- distance to the player position
- name of the Station or Junction
- node position
- Owner name
- Connections to other nodes as row number (ID), or as position of a open tube end
The Crowbar can be used to repair and break Tube lines. The break Tube lines 'hyperloop' privs are needed.
- With the left mouse button, the selected and normally unbreakable Tube block can be removed.
- With the right mouse button, the selected tube line will be repaired. This is useful if tubes are placed by means of e.g. WorldEdit.
- Connected Tubes are unbreakable. Tube blocks can only be removed from open ends (head blocks). This means that tubes do not need to be additionally protected.
- To allow branching also later, connection blocks should be placed every few hundred nodes.
- The maximum tube length without Junctions/Stations is 1000 nodes.
- Elevator Shafts and Hyperloop Tubes have different meanings and therefore can not be used alternatively.
- The Hyperloop is much faster than the Elevator. If building in all directions is enabled, use the Hyperloop to overcome large differences in height.
