Building Types: Transport Connector (primary)

Required Technology: Spinerail

The Spinerail is basically just the set of elevated biotechnological tracks (and small way-points, switching stations and other necessary equipment) that run from station to station and allow units in the Culture to use them for quick and easy transport. Unlike railways where the tracks are merely something to hold the train in place the spinerail itself flexes a series of muscle to use peristaltic motion to hurl bony carriages along its length at frightening speeds. They must be built from one spinerail station to another, with the whole lot being paid for at the creation of the project.

Note: Some large units will be unable to use spinerail tracks for movement and may damage them even by being in the same hex as them.
