Trigger rails

Lorsqu’un wagonnet passe sur un rail déclencheur, celui-ci émet un courant redstone jusqu’à 15 blocs !

The red streak represents the redstone current emitted by the rail when the wagon lands on it.

Sensor and propulsion rails

To activate the rails' ON MODE, you need to place a redstone torch next to the railway.

Automatic functionalities are activated when the redstone torch is placed next to it.

⚠️ IMPORTANT! The torch can generate redstone current on 9 rails d’affilée, et ce, dans les deux sens. La torche de redstone peut donc alimenter jusqu’à 18 rails en même temps !
