    RAIL
    This video is a neat explanation of how I use rails. This should be pretty familiar to most people who do redstone, but I understand that my audience probably isn't exclusively people who understand everything I make.

    Another cool thing is that rails don't cause lighting updates, so rail lines are much less laggy than redstone lines at large scales!

    • @enkvadrat_
      @enkvadrat_ Před 11 měsíci +40

      They also cause less updates, redstone dust causes several hundred unnecessary updates

    • @herkules593

      Yeah redstone goes from its power level down to 0 incrementally when turned off which is really inefficient

      Thanks! Keep in mind though, although I gave the basics for how instant rail wire works, its important to understand that the gaps between observers are VERY specific (9 rails between initial redstone block and 7 rails between observers).

  • @infrdarkfire
    @infrdarkfire Před 11 měsíci +33

    For the quirks section 6:45 about it calling the end of the line and working backwards. That's because it's more than likely doing a recursive call and passing the buck until it can't find or ask another rail to activate, and then the recursion unwinds. So it's most likely a feature from coding practices

  • @HugoBDesigner
    @HugoBDesigner Před 11 měsíci +15

    I'm honestly perplexed that rails aren't used more often in redstone, given what you've shown. I see people do all sorts of janky redstone for long distance activation, or activating multiple things in order, and it's always just a bunch of redstone repeaters and comparators and pistons, but never rails.
    This was a great video, keep up the amazing work!

    Honestly, Redstone is an art.
    I never imagined the use of Rails to send direct signals that don't interact with the block next to it.
    I rarely build with Redstone but when I do I like to try to break my head to do what I want, so this could be useful someday.

    At the end of a Squibble video,
    You will have either:
    1. Learned something new, or
    2. Gained a better understanding of how redstone components work
    This is the greatest channel regarding redstone, imo

  • @Blarpity
    @Blarpity Před 10 měsíci

    idk if this was mentioned, but rails are also very useful for very large builds. This is because it's actually very lag friendly. Redstone in large amounts becomes laggy because it has 16 different states, with different data outputs depending on it. Furthermore, it can curve and connect in every direction, further adding to potential lag. However, rails only have 2 block states, on and off, with only two outputs that only last for 1 tick. This makes rails preferable over redstone when it comes to building large machines, especially those reaching mega-build level.
    However for the lag to be noticeable you have to have a TON of redstone machinery so I wouldn't worry about it too much lol

    Rails to me as a redstoner are best redstone component. I recently designed a Giant spruce tree farm which works at 6mspt maxing out at 230.4k logs per hour and uses and 33 redstone dust (one for the bottom section dropper and 4x8 the eight blast chambers). It's a 16 GT farm though. And in fact the entire wiring in my farms is dustless since it uses rail lines with observers and buds.
