Good afternoon! I am writing this message to a few rail mod developers in the hope that someone will respond to it.

I tried to put together some amazing rail mods within the framework of a single concept of Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 and found a terrible inconsistency and inconsistency in the characteristics of locomotives and cars, including regarding the equipment grid.

For example:
The weight of ordinary Krastorio 2 locomotives is several times, or even 10 times higher than more advanced versions from other mods.
equipment grid of locomotives Krastorio 2 12x12 and wagons 6x12. In other mods, there is either nothing, or much less.
The rest of the characteristics dance no less.

I, unfortunately, am not a programmer, but these mods ideally diversify the railway and logistics aspect of the game in all directions, especially within Space Research + Krastorio 2. Therefore, I propose to work out a single system for integrating the characteristics and research of railway transport for all these mods within the framework of Space Exploration + Krastorio 2 .

This can be done individually by adjusting your own mod.

And you can make an add-on, or a fork, in cases where the developer, for some reason, abandoned his mod and does not respond to messages

Here is a list of mods for which I propose to make a single integration:
Realistic_Electric_Trains_1.1_fix https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Realistic_Electric_Trains_fix
Battery-Electric Train https://mods.factorio.com/mod/BatteryElectricTrain
Bob's Logistics modhttps://mods.factorio.com/mod/boblogistics

Thanks! I will be glad to any response!

As a modder, and as someone who actually was supporting the diesel locomotive before taking a hiatus and the current person created a fork, I would say that things like increased loco/wagon weight and addition of grids is something that the mod changing these should be taking into account.

Mods like this one should do their work in creating new locomotives as early as possible (data.lua), while other mods that want to modify weight and grids should do it no earlier than data-updates.lua, possibly even data-final-fixes.lua, and should loop through all available train entities vs working only with vanilla.

Just my 2 cents.
