'''RUL Files''' are internal game files which control the placement of [[Transit Network]] items in-game.  There are numerous RUL Files used by the game, each of which has its own particular function.  There are three different types of RUL Files: [[Network-Specific|Network-Specific RUL Files]], Multi-Network, and [[Bridge RULs]].  In addition, the [[Network INI]] file effectively functions like a RUL File.

The [[Network Specs|Network Specs Folder]] written by many of the people who discovered the file formats is helpful for learning Transit [[Modding]] even if it is a few years old and a few things need to be updated
 
 
 
The function of the RUL File is defined by its [[IID]].  It is not possible to add new RUL Files, though it is possible to define new Bridge RULs for networks that do not already have them.
 
 
 
== Network-Specific RUL Files ==
 
''Main article'': [[Network Specific RUL]]
 
 
 
Each in-game network has two Network-Specific RUL Files, one Main RUL which defines the basic placement of the network, and one Supplemental RUL, which defines same-network overrides.  There are 18 total Network Specific RULs.
 
 
 
== Multi-Network RUL Files ==
 
There are three Multi-Network RUL Files, known by their IIDs: [[RUL 0x10000000]], [[RUL 0x10000001]] and [[RUL 0x10000002]].  These all handle situations that can handle multiple networks.  RUL 0x10000000 is a particularly special case, since it deals exclusively with [[Puzzle Pieces]], ploppable network pieces, as opposed to Draggable Network items, the only such RUL to do so.
 
 
 
== Bridge RULs ==
 
''Main article'': [[Bridge RUL]]
 
 
 
Bridge RULs allow for more control over custom bridges.
 
 
 
== Network INI ==
 
''Main article'': [[Network INI]]
 
 
 
The Network INI file, while technically not a RUL file, combines many functions of the various RUL files.  It also controls bridge shadows, Left-Hand Drive path substitution, Powerlines, and various Bugfixes.
