Trains bigger and slower

7 days ago

Is it in the scope of this mod or would that be a separate one entirely?

Making the trains use 100 times the fuel, go much slower and hold 10k items per wagon.

The cost of rails also similarly increased.

Right now they are not only nearly pointless they also feel like a pneumatic tube system rather than a heavy-duty tool.

I want one train to leave from the mine and carry enough ore for 1-2 hours of smelting.

I have some train things people have suggested ideas for but trains is low on my very long list. And the train system is such a different change to the game so i am actually planning inf future to make a separate mod for trains "Trains++" that will have all changes for people that want to change trains from vanilla. I will add your ideas to the list.

Train tweaks are the thing im missing the most right now. The values that i would like to be able to tweak are

  • Capacity (both train and stations)
  • Load speed (maybe linked to capacity)
  • Speed & Acceleration
  • Speed decreases (on turns and uphill, maybe a percentage of default values?)

Those could be added as tweaks, but from there it might also be an option to add those as repeatable research?

Capacity,speed, Acceleration, Speed decreases are on the list. Wont promise anything since i have to see what's possible when i start with trains in future. =)
