Flat Car

Updated 6 Nov 2026

The Flat Car has no seats, so riders stand on its deck. Right-click the car and click the chest in its menu to open its hold. A train on a recorded route can load and unload it at cargo docks.

Build blueprint

Select this blueprint at the station, stand at the building spot within 12 blocks and left-click before the 30-second selection timer expires. Inputs are consumed at placement. Stay within 96 blocks when construction finishes. Breaking the station during construction cancels the build and drops the inputs at the station.

Specifications

Operate and maintain

The car follows the train it is coupled to. Use Vehicle Repair from outside while stationary and grounded.

Your finished build starts with whitelisting on. Claiming an unowned vehicle, receiving a handover or receiving a faction vehicle starts with whitelisting off. The owner (and the faction, for a faction car) can always open the hold. While whitelisting is on, whitelisted players and allowed groups can open it too; a ticket does not. Unloading beyond 160 blocks is storage, not destruction; use /vf findvehicles to locate your vehicles. A train driving a recorded route with fuel and nobody aboard keeps running instead (see Teach a train a route).
