### Version debut

Version 701

One of the most important systems built to function society and economy is the railway. The Trans-Siberian Railway offers a magnitude of opportunities and benefits both in the lore and for players. The Conductor operates the railway and can only be found in settlements that has a connecting rail network.

Travelling prices differ depending on the destination and the amount of weight carried. Survivors will be charged a fee if their total inventory weight went pass every 100 kilograms mark. Different destinations will have different charge fees. The further your intended destination, the more these charges will apply.

Survivors can pay either Iron Nuts or Ration Card depending on the settlement they are based at. In total, there are 7 survivor camps that are connected with the railway system.

* Chelyabinsk Survivor Camp
* Kurgan Survivor Camp
* Tyumen Survivor Camp
* Omsk Survivor Camp
* Novosibirsk Survivor Camp
* Krasnoyarsk Survivor Camp
* Irkutsk Survivor Camp

## **Routes**

Chelyabinsk marks the beginning of the railroad system. The information provided below does NOT include weights in the inventory at all.

**Important Note:** Survivors will be charged a full fee if their weight is specifically 100 kilograms and 1 gram. But for weights above the 200 kilograms mark, the total travel price becomes inaccurate and does not align with carried weight. There is an in-game factor that make this inconsistency and what you see in the table below are just the base travel price and fee charge with a weight of less than the 100 kilogram.

In conclusion, survivors are actually benefitting from this inconsistency by having more weights in the inventory and paying less than the total travel price.

## **Trivia**

In reality, the Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railway line in the world, connecting the European Russia to the Russian far east. The track extends for more then 9 kilometers and it runs from the city of Moscow to the city of Vladivostok. It takes about 7 days to travel from one side of Russia to the other without stops en route.

It was supervised by the Russian Emperor, *Alexander III* and his son, *Nicholas II* during the period of Russian Empire between the years 1891 to 1916.

As of year 2021, there have been some expansion projects which remains underway to connect to other neighbouring countries such as Mongolia, China, and North Korea. Furthermore, there have been some proposal to extend the connection all the way to Tokyo, Japan.
