🚕 WePlay: Taxi Train 💨

A teeny, zippy, electric taxi locomotive for getting around your base in style!

Tired of walking across your sprawling megabase? Hop in the Taxi Train and get there at warp speed! It's a cute little half-size locomotive built for one job: getting you where you need to go, FAST. ✨

⚡ Speedy Stats

Double the top speed with about 11× the power-to-weight of a vanilla locomotive. It launches off the platform and gets to max speed in no time! 🏎️

🔌 Fully Electric

No coal, no refueling, no fuss!

• Charges itself: whenever the taxi is stopped within reach of a powered pole, it charges at 10 MW from that pole's network
• 100 MJ battery: about 100 seconds of full throttle on a full charge
• Shows up in your power stats as "Taxi charger", so you can see what it's drawing
• Zero pollution, zero smoke 🌱

Tip: put a power pole at your stations and the taxi tops up every time it stops! ⚡

💛 Features

• Half-size: two taxis fit in one vanilla train car slot, right on your normal rails
• Blazing fast: perfect for zipping across huge megabase rail networks
• Elevated rails ready: it tilts up and down rail ramps with 160 hand-rendered sloped frames ⛰️
• Clean ride: no steam puffs or smoke, just a cute yellow cab with a checkered stripe
• Hand-modeled graphics rendered in Blender, with real shadows 🌑
• Easy to get: unlocked with Railway research, made from just 10 iron plates and 5 iron gear wheels

🚂 Pairs Great With a Shuttle Train Mod

The Taxi Train is perfect as your personal shuttle train! Try it with WePlay: Choo-Choo Taxi:

• 📲 Call your taxi from the shortcut bar
• 🗺️ Pick any station from a searchable list
• 🏠 It drives itself back to its depot when you hop out. Put a power pole there and it recharges while it waits! 🔋
• 🚀 It even rides the Space Exploration space elevator!

Make a Taxi Train your Choo-Choo Taxi and you'll never walk across your megabase again 💕
