They are destroyed by water
Should be added? They are also destroyed by water.

''They're not only destroyed by water. They react quiet glitchily with water. It's almost like they get converted into springs when they're touched by water, but only some of them. Can someone put that on the page? I'm not sure how to word it myself. A mine full of mine tracks can be completely flooded by one little spring. But like I said, I'm not good at phrasing things for wiki pages.''


 * Could you reword it to sound a bit more encyclopedic? Let me try and do that:

Minecart Tracks may sometimes become springs due a rare glitch.

How? Also, diagonal tracks disappear when exposed to water. They don't drop tracks. PurpleKiwi 21:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Advanced info
Someone with enough knowledge should add advanced information about Rails. Things like boosters, jumps and so on. --CrazyTerabyte 14:25, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I added some information about boosters to the Minecart article. That should be enough, because track intersections are track based and boosters are cart based. --Madgeek 09:56, 19 October 2010 (CDT)

Reclaim
Is it possible to reclaim tracks? --MarauderIIC 04:55, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * As in break them and pick them back up? Yes, you can do that. -F1racer101 05:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

Track Building Behavior
I found that, when building tracks, they react very similarly to another game- (The earlier versions, I never played the later versions) Roller Coaster Tycoon. Does anybody else see this similarity? 99seconds 17:56, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Yea I Think Thats what Notch said they were based on or inspired by Adi Tetac 18:18, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I dont see how they were inspired from rct.Toadbert
