A diesel locomotive fuelled by liquid Diesel, pumped straight into its tank. Diesel is refined from light and heavy oil in a chemical plant. First step of the steam -> diesel -> electric train progression ladder. Based on dieselTrains by ksmonkey123 (MIT).
Mods introducing new content into the game.
Version: 0.1.2
Date: 2026-07-16
Changes:
- Diesel exhaust smoke is now sooty black (custom tinted smoke), visually distinguishing the
diesel locomotive from steam/vanilla engines. Colour is a first pass -- feedback welcome.
Note: prototype change -- full game restart required.
Version: 0.1.1
Date: 2026-07-15
Changes:
- Republished as Diesel_Locomotive_Continued (was train_progression) to match the Continued family naming; the old listing is deprecated.
- License attribution updated. Requires Fluid Trains Continued 2.0.1.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-07-15
Features:
- Diesel locomotive: vanilla-comparable stats, fuelled by liquid Diesel pumped directly into its 1500-unit onboard tank. Pump arms visually connect and disconnect, and the train waits for them to retract before departing.
- Diesel fluid and "Diesel refining" recipe: 30 light oil + 30 heavy oil -> 60 Diesel (chemical plant). A sink for both oil fractions.
- "Diesel locomotive" technology (prerequisites: railway, oil processing) - diesel arrives the moment your first refinery runs.
- Locomotive recipe built from its working parts: engine units, a storage tank (the fuel tank), a pump (the fuel system), and fuel lines.
Info:
- Phase 1 of a planned steam -> diesel -> electric train progression ladder.
- Requires Fluid Trains Continued. Based on dieselTrains by ksmonkey123 (MIT), with lineage credit to evildogbot100, FuryOfTheStars and archiehalliwell.
