Moving through the dangerous Australian outback is a much less daunting task after you unlock the use of the game's Monorail network. The Monorail isn't simply a fast travel feature.
It's an order of operations altering game changer, particularly when you're carrying thousands of kilos of cargo. Here's how to do it so you can strategically expand the network to get your deliveries moving.
Unlocking the Monorail: Main Story Access
In order to visit the Monorail, players will need to finish Order 12 and Order 13. These missions are a very important step to get started on your journey around Australia.
Battle a Mecha BT at Sector F1 in Order 12.
Upon defeating the boss, you'll be introduced to the settlement leader and Fragile.
The following day, you're ordered to help bring power back to a local coal mine.
Bring at least 2,000 Chiral Crystals, Resins, and Special Alloys for this mission.
Cleanup the mine through the terminal. This opens Monorail construction and gives you access to 4,800 Special Alloys.

Setting Up the First Line: West Fort Knot to the Mine
Once the mine has opened:
Ship the cargo back to West Fort Knot.
This initial monorail section is constructed automatically as an extension of the narrative.
While it's a key transportation link, that only scratches the surface of this system's potential.
How to Expand the Monorail
Following the narrative portion, expanding the Monorail starts to take shape as an optional yet fulfilling secondary goal. It opened up quicker journeys, much more secure routes and the transportation of unimaginable cargo.
Step-by-Step to Grow the Network
Find Tracklayers on the Australian map These somewhat simplified vertical streetcar universal charger poles work like roving road nuts.
They show up on your map as soon as you find one, and typically lead in the direction of the nearest Tracklayer.
Ziplines The infrastructure built by Tracklayers serve as Ziplines, allowing for traversal and rapid supply drops.
Required Materials For Each Tracklayer
Tracklayers need:
Chiral Crystals
Resins
Special Alloys
Best Practices for Efficient Expansion
Use a Pickup Off-Roader to deliver goods.
Gather up knowledge and capacity before you go to explore.
Stay on well worn trails. The way usually runs in the direction of the next Tracklayer.
Slow down when you approach Tracklayers, onscreen prompts display the resources needed even before you start the interaction.
When you're ready, connect to a Tracklayer and select 'Restore Track' from the in-game terminal.
