Monorail Meadows Biome

Terrain

A preview of the Monorail Meadows terrain

Monorail meadows has grassy with occasional rivers and oceans. Players can build bridges across water by holding wood and placing it on top of the water. Impassable dark green mountains will also be generated, causing players to route around them.

NPCs

Deer

Often gets in the way, but also eats resources to compress them into a more compact form. Rideable and milkable.

Deer is a non-hostile milkable animal that eats commodities on the ground. After a deer has eaten 5 commodities, it will produce a compressed resource. One strategy is to have the Deer purposely eat your resources to compact resources on the ground while you are doing other tasks. Deer (with horns) will only eat stone, Doe (no horns) will only eat wood.

Ducky

Very cute and very harmless. At least as long as there isn't an angry Mother Ducky nearby.

The Ducky is a non-hostile animal that sits in place on a body of water. Ducky does not do anything, however, if you have the challenge "Do not kill any animals", you need to be aware of Ducky, as placing any bridges in the water on top of the ducky will kill it.

Mole

Builds new mole hills close to old ones and flees to the next hill if attacked. Is afraid of water.

The mole is a non-agressive animal that builds mole hills on top of item stacks lying on the ground. The mole often gets in the way while in narrow corridors, so it is best to remove the hills as needed. Keep an eye out for where mole hills spawn, because they often spawn on top of items on the ground, it is possible for the mole to form its hill on top of a large stack of tracks that you had on the ground.

To destroy a mole hill, it takes 9 hits with a tool (cartridges have no effect), or 3 hits with dynamites, or 1 hit with a torpedo, or instantly destroyed by using the water bucket. After being hit for the first time, if the mole is on the hill being hit, the mole will move to another hill on the map if one is available. The mole is only considered "killed" if you destroy the last mole hill on the level.

Boss Fight

Mole Chief

Like a regular mole, but bigger and angrier.

The mole Chief is a boss level who will throw Level 1 dynamite bombs at each player as you try to progress the level. A good strategy for this level is to have a few players go forward in the map and clear a path for the train while getting dynamite thrown at them. This helps to clear a path for the train faster while also collecting resources.

On the second visit, the dynamite level thrown by the boss becomes level 2.
