Tools & Items

Tools

There are three tools in unrailed that are provided at the start of each level. All tools can be thrown around and they all count towards the "Don't hold any tool for 20 seconds" task.

Axe

Axe is a tool provided to chop down trees to obtain wood. To chop a tree, simply facing a tree while holding the axe. There is no need to press any button.

Chopping speed can be increased using the Turbo-Axe Cartridge. Multitool Cartridge can be equipped to mine rocks with reduced efficiency. Brute_Force Cartridge can be equipped when mining or chopping to hit multiple resources at the same time.

When hitting NPCs, each hit deals 1 damage.

Pickaxe

Pickaxe is a tool provided to mine rocks to obtain iron. To mine a rock, simply facing a tree while holding the axe. There is no need to press any button.

Mining speed can be increased using the Turbo-Pickaxe Cartridge. Multitool Cartridge can be equipped to chop trees with reduced efficiency. Brute_Force Cartridge can be equipped when mining or chopping to hit multiple resources at the same time.

When hitting NPCs, each hit deals 1 damage.

Bucket

Bucket can be used to extinguish wagons that are on fire or wagons that are heated up. To fill the bucket with water, the player needs to be facing a water block. Unlike Unrailed! 1, the player needs to press the pickup button while facing a wagon to pour water on it.

While holding the bucket and facing an animal, the player can fill the bucket with milk without needing to use the Milk Wagon. To consume the milk, the player needs drop the bucket on the ground and then press the pickup button while holding another item. This will consume the milk without picking up the bucket. The player holding the milk can also feed the other players by facing them and then press the pickup button.

Water and Milk other usages:

• When filled with either Water or Milk, The Bucket can also be used for instantly destroying Mole hills, the Mole Chief and his dirt walls, and the Sandworm's nest.
• You can also use the bucket to make bridges in the Boiler Badlands Biome.
• The bucket can be overfilled with water or milk if the player has Bucket Cartridges. Which allows you to overfill the bucket up to the number of cartridges of this type. This can be helpful as it lets you give multiple players the milk buff without needing to milk an animal twice.

When the player has a Throwing Cartridge:

• If the bucket is empty, the bucket can be thrown into the hands of other players, or a Milk Wagon, or a Carriage Wagon.
• If the bucket is filled with water, the bucket can be thrown into any of the above, or onto a wagon or the engine that is on fire or heated up. When thrown onto a wagon or the engine, the bucket will reappear in the hands of the player after the throw.
• If the bucket is filled with milk, the bucket can be thrown onto wagons or the engine to cool them, or onto players to feed them which is very strong with Bucket Cartridges. The bucket will reappear in the hands of the player after the throw.

Commodities

Wood

Wood is one of the key resources required to craft tracks. It can also be used to build bridges over water. Some wagons may consume wood to activate.

Iron

Iron is one of the key resources required to craft tracks. Some wagons may consume iron to activate.

Compressed resources

Compressed resources can be crafted using the Compactor Wagon or produced by deers. Each compressed resource acts as 5 regular resources when placed in wagons. This means you can load a dynamite wagon with a single iron, and it will produce 5 dynamites before needing to reload.

Compressed resources cannot stack with regular resources in player's hands or when placed on the ground (unless dropped by deers).

When used for bridging, neighbouring water tiles are automatically bridged if possible.

Tracks

Normal track

Normal tracks can be crafted by the Crafter Wagon and is used in the normal gameplay. Tracks are connected by placing tracks down at the end of the line of connected tracks, or by placing a track to connect the end of the connected tracks to a line of single unconnected tracks.

Brake track

Speed reduction formula: q(x) = -1/sqrt(x + 0.2) + 1/(x + 0.36) + 0.49

Brake tracks can be crafted by the Brake Track Wagon or by Slowdown Snail.

Brake tracks can slow down the train speed while the engine is crossing it. Note that this is not the same as the slow down track in the custom map mode which can actively and permanently reduce the speed of the train.

The actual speed reduction of the brake track scales with speed. When the base train speed is at 0.01m/s, the train speed on the brake tracks is the same as on the normal tracks. However, when the train speed reaches 0.4m/s, the speed reduction becomes 50%, and at 1.0m/s, the speed reduction becomes 30%, meaning it would give your team more time than just placing down 3 tracks.
