Progressive Locomotives (2.0 + SE)

One mod to pull in the whole Continued train family and make steam → diesel → electric an actual progression, not just three options sitting next to the vanilla locomotive.

What's in the pack

Installing this mod fetches the rest of the family automatically:

• Fluid Trains Continued — the fluid-pumping framework the others run on
• Diesel Locomotive Continued — refined Diesel, pumped straight into the tank
• Steam Locomotive Continued — a real firebox, boiler and water tank
• Realistic Electric Trains Continued — overhead-line electric traction, the endgame tier

Vanilla locomotive removal

By default this mod removes the vanilla locomotive's crafting recipe — railway tech unlocks the Steam locomotive instead, and the vanilla locomotive is never craftable at all. Existing locomotives, trains, blueprints and saves are completely unaffected; this only blocks crafting new ones. A startup setting ("Remove vanilla locomotive recipe") turns this off if you'd rather keep the vanilla locomotive available alongside the family.

Compatibility

Confirmed working in-game with Space Exploration, including the vanilla locomotive removal. Also compatible with Combat Mechanics Overhaul (matching the rest of the family).
