Set of track-laying blueprints, which i used to set up my RW system - Route 66

This particular part - pearl of this set, scaffolding. It is beefy, but with the help of black magic, i was able to make it in a standard 6x6 BP designer with only vanilla tools.

My main innovation (I`ve never seen this done before) - blueprinted scaffolding (red), which allows for putting next pillar in a way, which gives perfect curvature with no warps.

How to use it:

• Place first two-lane pillar
• Snap scaffolding (BP called MAGIC DOWN (actually this BP, it is not called magic down anymore due to SCIM renaming)) underneath in BP mode
• Place next two-lane pillar in the centre of any scaffolding foundation in default mode
• Delete scaffolding
• Repeat

Now about going up or down. There are 4 versions for every railway: flat, up, slope, down. They all can be placed just like regular flat ones, but with choosing right scaffolding.

For example, you have decided to go up. After flat support place UP pillar on regular scaffolding layer (upper layer of MAGIC DOWN). Snap new scaffolding (MAGIC DOWN) to it, and then on top of that scaffolding snap a new one to it (MAGIC UP) in BP mode. On top of this special scaffolding place next pillar, for example SLOPE pillar, if you want to continue the incline, of DOWN pillar, if you want to get flat again. Repeat everything, choosing to use one or both (for going up) scaffoldings.

Going down is easier. Use regular scaffolding (MAGIC DOWN), but its lower level. I do not recomment going sideways at the same time as going vertical due to some geometry warps.

Now you have a basic pathway. Now lets add more:

• Underneath each pillar add supports. They snap in BP mode. There are 4, each comes in 3 varieties: short, mid, full. Use those to reach the ground, adding some metal pillars manually at the end might help to reduce parts count (instead of burying next blueprinted support)
• (optional) On top add two way RW
• Connect everything.

Intersections can be made with same scaffoldings, due to 60 degree angle of sidemost foundations. Heck, you can even make spirals if you wish.

90 degree angle might be useful for adding new lines to my MP (for creating triangular intersections). It is not built into scaffolding, but you can fix it by adding your own foundations, expanding the scaffolding. Radius is 5.5 foundations counting to the center of each foundation, so just build 5 foundations in from center blue foundation (for ease of angle counting), rotate and build a new angled center foundation on the end and bridge back achieving 5.5 radius.

Slopes are designed to be smooth, they should go up or down only inside corresponding pillars. If the track is wobbly, you re doing something wrong.

MAGIC DOWN (main scaffolding) can be downloaded only here (on this page, not google drive), via satisfactory calculator, so that i could see how many people have downloaded this set. Or you can use my scaffolding and build your own set of pillars and supports.
