Real Shuttle Trains

by Ziro2k

Adds shuttle trains- tiny locomotives that move very quickly but cannot be attached to cargo or fluid wagons. As such, they are intended to be used for personal transit rather than the transportation of resources. Both burner and electric versions are available, each with their own set of benefits.

Changelog

Version: 1.0.9
Date: 2021-06-23
  Balance Adjustments:
    - Increased the shuttle locomotive limit to two per shuttle train, allowing for bidrectional setups and increased acceleration power.
    - Magnet shuttles now check all of the shuttles and shuttle cars in a train for a vacant spot, instead of just the one that hits a player.
Version: 1.0.8
Date: 2021-06-23
  New Features:
    - Added shuttle cars, which can be attached to shuttles in order to increase the number of players that can be transported at once. Shuttle cars are very light, but can still
      slow shuttles down if used in large numbers. Different types of shuttles and shuttle cars cannot be mixed and matched and there can only be one shuttle per chain of shuttle cars.
  Misc:
    - The alternate shuttle skin and shuttle chain limit mod settings are no longer supported with the addition of shuttle cars.
    - Changed mod thumbnail.
Version: 1.0.7
Date: 2021-06-23
  New Features:
    - Added a new mod setting for "magnet shuttles." If enabled, when a shuttle hits a player on the rails it will automatically pick them up instead of nearly killing them, 
      at the cost of a tiny amount of damage. The shuttle must not already have a passenger.
Version: 1.0.6
Date: 2021-06-22
  Balance Adjustments:
    - Increased the maximum shuttle chain limit to 6 in the mod settings (up from 5).
Version: 1.0.5
Date: 2021-06-22
  New Features:
    - Added a lower tier of shuttle that runs on fuel, available at green science. It still out performs trains in regard to speed, but it has more of a focus on economy and efficiency. 
      On the contrary, the electric shuttle has been rebalanced to emphasize performance over efficiency.
  Balance Adjustments:
    - The performance of the electric shuttle has been increased. Its max speed has been increased to 500 kph, acceleration has been 
      increased to 1 MW (up from 500 kW) and its recharge rate and energy capacity have been increased to 2 MW and 50 MJ (up from 1 MW and 25 MJ), respectively.
    - Electric shuttle technology now costs purple science. It also requires the technologies for batteries, electric engines, and burner shuttles.
    - Adjusted the recipe for electric shuttles to require burner shuttles.
    - Shuttle Train Refresh is no longer a required dependency, although it is still recommended to get the most out of Real Shuttle Trains.
  Misc:
    - Changed mod name to "Real Shuttle Trains."
  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed crafting recipe icon for the electric shuttle.
Version: 1.0.4
Date: 2021-06-21
  New Features:
    - Added ability to chain multiple shuttles together to transport additional players, along with a setting to configure the limit.

  Bugfixes:
    - Fixed mod image thumbnail.
Version: 1.0.2
Date: 2021-06-21
  Balance Adjustments:
    - Decreased the hitpoints of electric shuttles to 200 (down from 400).
  New Features:
    - Added setting to prevent shuttles from going to a station with a particular name. 
    - Added setting to use an alternate skin for shuttles.
