FAQ

Q): Why can't I unlock/afford the locomotives easily?

  • A): This mod is designed to be applicable for game saves that are on roughly a rocket building level of production. These trains are upgrades over their vanilla counterparts, and the aim of the mod is to fit in with vanilla and maintain balancing. I created this mod to give me something else to work on for my 250 hour save.

Q): Why is it so hard to keep the trains fuelled?

  • A): It is the intention of this mod to introduce a new logistic challenge of fuelling these new, improved, trains. There are still many different solutions to power pack distribution. If it is too much of a challenge, update 0.2.0 brings efficiency power pack research, or failing that, the fuel value can be changed in mod settings

Q): (0.2.0+) Why on earth do the upgraded powerpacks need a tier three module EACH

  • A): Haha, sorry. This wasn't meant to be some "free speedy and high capacity trains" mod. You can download something else if you like that!

Q): Is this mod compatible with any other mods?

  • A): This mod (as of 0.2.1) is compatible with Space Exploration. I have not tested with any other mods installed. You will probably be fine with anything that isn't an overhaul mod.
