How to Use Monorail in Terra Nil?

Welcome to this guide on how to use Monorail Nodes in Terra Nil! If you’re new to this game, or if you’ve played for a while but haven’t quite figured out how to use Monorail Nodes effectively, then you’ve come to the right place.

Monorail Nodes are an essential part of Terra Nil as they allow you to transfer buildings between different areas of your region. This can help you conserve resources and reduce the need for recycling, which can be a huge advantage when trying to restore the natural balance of your environment. However, using Monorail Nodes can be a bit tricky at first, so in this guide, we’ll take you through everything you need to know to use them effectively. Let’s get started!

Terra Nil – Monorail:

Here’s how to use the Monorail in Terra Nil:

Step 1: Unlock the Monorail Nodes

Before you can start using Monorail Nodes, you’ll need to progress far enough in the game to unlock them. This means completing the first phase of the game, which involves restoring your wasteland. After you’ve purified enough polluted land, you’ll unlock the second tab, which may or may not have the Monorail available.

Step 2: Place Monorail Nodes

Once you have access to the Monorail Nodes, you can place them on rocks around your region. If you don’t have any rocks, you can produce them via Calcifiers and Igneous Heatsinks. You’ll want to place the nodes near as many buildings as possible while also keeping them near rocks. This is so you can connect multiple nodes together to create a monorail system.

Step 3: Connect Nodes

To connect nodes, you’ll need to place them close enough together so that they are within reach. When you place a node, you’ll see a green line between nodes if they’re within reach. This line represents the distance that the nodes can connect to each other.

Step 4: Transfer Buildings

To transfer a building, click on the Monorail Node closest to the building you want to move elsewhere. As long as it’s within reach, you can then click the building to pick it up. If the window that appears says “Target Invalid” when you try, there may be something preventing moving it. For example, it may be out of reach of the Monorail Node you’re trying to use. After you pick up a building, you can place it anywhere that any of your nodes can reach.

Step 5: Address Power Issues

If you’re trying to transfer a building to an area that doesn’t have enough electricity, you’ll need to create another source of power or perhaps move a building from that area to another. But, it has to be a building that uses power to open up that slot. You can also experiment with Pylons if you’ve unlocked them in Terra Nil. This is another way to create extra electricity while also extending your reach.

Step 6: Address Visibility Issues

When placing a node, you’ll see two large rings around it representing its range. The first inner ring that has a bright green inside represents buildings it can grab. While the outer hollow ring represents the distance it can connect to another node. This can become an issue when your environment becomes cluttered with everything you can imagine. Simple changes in your region, like the level of elevation, can also make it hard to see. You can use the undo button if you misplace a node.

Step 7: Recycling

To recycle your buildings using Monorail Nodes, you’ll need to place Recycling Beacons on each node to get rid of them. This will remove any buildings within the area and recover resources too.

So, learning how to use Monorail Nodes in Terra Nil can be confusing at first, but with some practice, it can become an essential tool for conserving resources and transferring buildings between different areas of your region. Follow these steps to use Monorail Nodes effectively and make your gameplay more efficient.
