A mod that changes balance of a mod "Mini Trains" and vanilla train in many ways
"Coded with 100% flesh, blood and a little bit of tears!"
-
Every change made is optional and can be turned off with startup mod settings!!
-
Space Age patch in future, but this mod is still compatible to run with it
-
If you have ANY requests or found some bugs please report them on my Factorio mod page or GitHub repo
-
This mod shouldn't cause any issues when added to an existing save, though any research that this mod changed will still be researched even if moved further in the tree
List of changes that the mod does sorted by in-game settings:

7, was6I think - power consumption set to
