The Astensity Train System is an unofficial train system on the Astensity server to promote cross-town travel and give the server a modern feel. The train system.was initially an official system set up by the builders, but was later scrapped due to no requests for a station to be built at anyone's town.

In the Beta testing phase of the server, Astensity's builders envisioned a train system that would connect multiple towns. A station request form was put up on the Discord channel. However, as there were not enough requests, the plan was scrapped.

In the official release of the server, a regular player called Skaijie decided to set up a train system on the server, unaware of the previous attempt to set one up. He had some experience in a previous server in building systems, and had a train system he was building in a single player world.

Harkadia Light Rail (LR)
In the early days of the Official Release, Skaijie decided to test the concept of tramways, and attempted to build one inspired by Hong Kong's Light Rail system. However, as building progressed, the system turned out to be more of a proper mini mass transit line, and only the first station built looked anything like a tramway station. Four stations, Harkadia South, Henry, a third station, and Lok Wai, were opened around October, and featured faregates made of various wooden fences and fence gates, and a train arrival time screen.

The Colossus station was later added to the southern end of the system. In December, the system was rerouted to have Lok Wai as the first station instead of the last, and add a new station between Lok Wai and Colossus. This was to support the building of a new station further north to link the town of Skyhigh to Harkadia, and reduce system complexity of a looped line. The new station after Lok Wai, Eastside, was opened, and the Skyhigh station was opened a few days later. With the fall of Skyhigh Town, two stations were added again to the north of the Light Rail system. These were built with quartz instead of stone slabs, to.reflect the hope of re-developing the Skyhigh region as a modern-style area of Harkadia, and system route maps, later introduced to some of the other stations.

Central Line

At around the same time, the first MRT line, the Central Line, started construction. The initial 7 station system opened in late October, featuring standard birch faregates. The initial line passed through teo toens including Harkadia, and linked some of the developments along the area together. An additional 6 stations were added to the south of the line, linking another 4 towns to the system. This section of the line featured an approximately 1.2 km long track section compared to the standard 300 - 600m long sections, partly due to a shell station due to a hostility stance of the town that was beside. The length of this section of track paved the way for longer sections to be built in the singpleplayer world and the upcoming train system projects.
