rail system
The Rails system will provide Astroneer with a new autonomous mode of transportation that is said to be “efficient and convenient”.
Players can place railway poles to build railway lines that carry both oxygen and electricity, then board new railway vehicles.
rail vehicles
The catalog has been updated with two new rail vehicles that can be used individually or in chains on six-car-length trains. However, since each car on the train increases its power consumption, players should ensure they have enough power to run them.

It is said that updates and additions were made to existing automation systems to take advantage of the rail system.
