Valheim Railway - Buildable Trains and Stations

Build a railway, furnish a flat carriage, and take it for a ride. Snappable track, inclines, station stops and onboard controls make ordinary building and driving possible without console commands.

Latest working test: Valheim 1.0 — specifically version 1.0.15 (Steam build 25390630). Other patches and future updates are not covered by this result.

Railway 0.7.5 is experimental. On September 21, 2026, its full Windows graphics-enabled disposable-world regression test passed with official BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2350 and Jotunn 2.30.0, all required checks passing and zero managed exceptions. Real multi-client/dedicated-server play, mod-manager installation and large-build performance have not been validated. Back up your worlds, characters and mod setup; begin in a disposable world.

New in 0.7.5 (including updates since 0.5.3)

• Ctrl + E empty-train summoning, named stations and a 2x2m destination display. Ordinary E calls now search up to 4,096m of connected loaded track.
• Manual A/B railway switches, six additional 15°/30° entry, straight-grade and exit rails, and 150%/200% speed choices. Existing rails remain available.
• A vertical boat-style boarding ladder: snap its top bracket to the deck and press E to board. The walk-up 2m-rise stairs remain available.
• Improved mounted vanilla furniture, seated and jumping-passenger motion; fixed stale call state, missing station identities and repairable saved attachment references.
• 0.7.5 arrival-clearance fixes: rotated pieces and touching surfaces no longer cause the old false obstruction checks. Doors use their saved open/closed pose; real obstacles and passengers still block summoning, and refusal messages identify the obstructing part.

Requirements and installation

The package declares these official dependencies; neither dependency DLL nor loader core is bundled:

• BepInExPack_Valheim 5.4.2350: denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim-5.4.2350
• Jotunn 2.30.0: ValheimModding-Jotunn-2.30.0

Unity and a.NET SDK are not required to play. Windows Valheim 1.0.15 is the tested platform; other operating systems are unverified.

Using a mod manager

• Close Valheim and create a separate Valheim test profile Mod Manager or r2modman. Retain backups outside the active profile.
• Install Valheim Railway into that profile, including its declared dependencies. 's dependency system is designed to install declared requirements automatically. Check the actual installed versions against the baseline above. Package/dependency documentation.
• Make sure the profile contains only one Railway DLL and one Jotunn DLL. Do not combine a manual game-folder installation with duplicate profile copies.
• Launch the game through the manager and use a new disposable world. Verify building, travel and save/reload before trying a valuable save.

This ZIP follows 's BepInEx plugins routing convention. These are the expected manager steps, not a claim that manager import/install has been tested. Packaging documentation.

Manual installation

• Close the game/server, back up saves and existing plugins, and install the two official dependencies using their instructions.
• Copy the archive's plugins/ValheimRailway folder into your game's BepInEx/plugins folder. The resulting path must be:

/BepInEx/plugins/ValheimRailway/ValheimRailway.dll

• Keep only one active copy of each plugin, including copies inside subfolders. The assets are embedded in the Railway DLL; there is no separate AssetBundle to install.
• Start with a disposable world. If using a manager profile, work inside that profile instead of creating a second manual installation.

Earlier private tests used experimental Jotunn 2.29.2.1. It is not included or required here. Back up and move that old DLL outside the active plugins folder before installing official Jotunn 2.30.0. Changing Jotunn may affect other mods, so test the whole mod list separately.
