Coaster Anchor

Coaster Anchor

Coaster Anchor is the post that holds up a Pro Rail, the smooth curved track.

Place two of them, link them with the Coaster Wrench, and a curve is drawn between them at whatever angle you want.

The anchor is the only thing you actually place. The rail between two anchors is not made of blocks at all.

An anchor turns to face the surface you put it on, which is how hanging and wall-mounted track works. Each one holds two rails, one per side.

Full workflow: Pro Rails.

Placing

An anchor orients itself to the face you place it on, so it works on the floor, a wall or a ceiling — which is what lets an inverted Pro Rails track hang from above.

Roles

An anchor is plain by default. Open its menu with the wrench and it can take on one of two roles, which also swap its model:

Station

Boarding point. Gains an open/close state and a facing direction, and gives you Station Settings from the anchor menu — the Pro Rails equivalent of a Station Rail.

Switch Track

Branch point. Needs a through-anchor with a rail on each side plus a third anchor for the branch, and takes a signal key like a Switch Rail.

An anchor can only hold one role at a time — remove the station before you make it a switch. A Track Sensor can be dropped onto a plain anchor as well.

Appearance

The Coaster Brush opens a menu on an anchor. If it already carries a rail, you first pick what to recolor — the rails or the anchor block itself.

PropertyOptions
ColorDefault, Steel, Wood, White, Black, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
SizeNormal, Small — Small has no Steel or Wood, and isn't available on station or switch anchors
Rail color8 variants, set from the same menu

Recoloring a rail follows the Recolor whole track (Pro Rails) setting: on by default, so one click repaints the whole connected track rather than the single segment you clicked.
