Hello

Due to some mods that had complicated recepies, even creating the normal train, i want to use the mini train as a way to get around until i unlock the normal trian. Except the issue is that the research is even further away

Solution i use on my own, is to change the lua directly. But i was wondering, is it not possible to add this by default?

So when we open mods setting this mod to exist there and to have the following options (all tick box)

Unlock from the start (self explained)
Unlocking (researching) this will unlock (each own tick box):
rails
Train lights
Train Station

And the last one: No fuel (source = "void")

this seems cheaty until you realise this is a QoL that is up to anyone to enable it. Plus, it might be "cheaty" start of the game, but, it's actually more then that. 1st of all, by having infinite fuel you are forever blocking it from accesing fuel that might make it faster. Aka a trade off, start good, but can't be improved, causing massive issues if you want more (top speed, acceleration, more load). Also this will make the Mini train A QoL that you can put anywhere, even in little areas, because you don't need to create an extra lane just to have it go to fuel up. Meaning they stay relevent even later in the game exactly because you don't need to "ok how can i make sure it can be fueled" without wasting tons of time because of this. Plus they can be their own lanes and won't ever get in the way of the normal train since it never need to leave it's "dedicated" area where it does mini train transportation.

Anyways. I know i wrote a lot, but, in the lua (as i said, i do this myself manually) all that happens is that i change the power to void and remove the fuel slot.

Anyways, thanks for the mod!
