The raised part of rail ramps can be placed on top of water on [[Nauvis]], oil oceans on [[Fulgora]]{{SA}}, marshes on [[Gleba]]{{SA}} and ammoniacal oceans on [[Aquilo]]{{SA}} without the need for [[landfill]] or [[foundation]]. After researching [[Rail support foundations (research)\|rail support foundations]], [[rail support]]s and rail ramps can also be placed on Fulgora's deep oil oceans. The first 4 tiles of the ramp needs to be placed on solid ground.

	Since the purpose of a rail ramp is usually to transition between ground and elevated rails, there is generally no point in placing a rail ramp in the middle of an ocean, where ground rails can not be placed. However, being able to build the rail ramp on the edge of solid ground can be very useful when space is limited, such as on the small vault islands on [[Fulgora]]{{SA}}.
