## About The Pull Request Designed for use in #83163 , not implemented anywhere else currently. Mining cars (existing crate reskin) now have a hefty drag slowdown. Click-dragging them onto a minecart rail (new), however, will negate this slowdown, allowing you to drag them at nearly full speed. This also gives you the opportunity to give them a bump to push them down the tracks at a decent pace. https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/51863163/293adbfb-e2bd-49ba-beef-c998c388ecf0 Other notes: - Running a cable underneath a minecart (underfloor allowed) will power the rail, keeping its momentum, or boosting it slightly if it falls below certain thresholds. - If the minecart comes to an abrupt stop with a decent amount of speed, it will chuck all of its contents ahead a few tiles. - Break rails also exist, and stop the cart instantly (and with no contents chucking) when powered with cable. - The cart does hurt people who are standing in the way if it's moving with moderate speed. - And it also hurts people lying on the tracks. - You can buckle yourself onto a (closed) minecart to ride it. Someone else has to give you a push though. ## Why It's Good For The Game I was struggling to come up with a method of bulk transferring items for the linked PR that didn't seem too contrived (bluespace BS, pods), wouldn't require work refactoring an existing system (transit tubes), and wasn't a tram, and I realized we have mine carts but no rails. So I added rails and made the minecarts work on the rails. This gives a method of shipping items from point A to point B that fits well in certain settings, such as the lower areas of Icebox, or maybe in space ruins. I also think it would be fun to give miners some tools to construct rails, to let them ship boulders back to the station via railway rather than using teleportation. ## Changelog 🆑 Melbert add: Adds Minecarts, (possibly admin only depending on when this PR is merged in relation to the Icebox Bar PR) /🆑
