I made it for myself because for me the rails were too cheap , making the game too easy.
I put it up in case anyone else felt the same and wanted more challenge.
Use it / Don't use it , up to you bro.

Bonjour, quel intérêt de payer 4 fois plus chers les rails ?
Je ne comprends pas ce mod ?
À moins que c'est à la revente, c'est ça ?
C'est lorsque l'on revend (ou qu'on enlève) les rails qu'ils coûtent 4 fois plus chers, c'est ça ?
Merci pour vos explications.

If you apply it last it should adjust the new track prices.
If you apply it first it should only adjust vanilla track prices.
But I haven't tried for myself.

Is this compatible with mods that add new tracks?

Go to your steam library
Right click Transport Fever
Select properties
Select local files
Click browse button.

This will open a folder in your TF installation directory
.\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever

From here go into the mods folder
.\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever\mods

Create a new folder in here for your altered mod e.g. "double rails"
.\Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever\mods\double rails

Now find my mod directory
.\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\446800\2708082514

copy files from there to your mod folder
Do NOT copy the workshop_fileid.txt file, you don't need it and it's auto-generated if you publish your mod.

Then you can alter mod.lua in a text editor and strings.lua if you want to alter the descriptions.

look for the line data.cost = data.cost * 4
change the 4 to what you want.

data.maintenanceCost = data.cost / 20
sets up the monthly maintenance cost

Interesting idea. Quadruples seems a big much. Where could I change the value? I would like to start with double costs ;-)

Please note only the cost of the actual track is increased.
Earthworks , tunnels & bridges remain unchanged.
Expect approx 3x increase on flat ground with less penalty on slopes.
5% of the rail cost is paid in maintenance every month.
This works out at about 10% the cost for running trains on a busy network.
