Vehicle Equipment Grids

by Kryzeth

Adds equipment grids to vehicles in a sensible manner (no more exoskeleton legs in cars or trains or boats or planes), and adds a replacement vehicle specific speed booster equipment. Compatible with Bob's Equipment mods, SE Space Trains, Fusion Trains, Flamethrower Wagon, Aircraft, AAI Vehicles, Cargo Ships, GunEquipment, Radar Equipment (and more!)

g [Not a bug] Speed Booster equipment affects vehicle acceleration, not max speed

Hey,

In my game the grid works for my trains and wagons. The speed booster doesnt seem to do anything though.
I've tried combinations with legendary and normal locomotives and legendary and normal speed boosters. When I mouse over, I can see that it has enough power. When I mouse over the locomotive it gives the same max speed as a locomotive without the boosters. I have a mod that shows me my movementspeed. Its the same with the normal locomotive.

I turned all my mods off and have the same result with only base mod, elevated rails, quality, kryzeth standard library and vehicle equipment grids. Im playing without space age.

Maybe Im doing something wrong? I feel like Im doing something wrong >.<
A portable fission reactor and speed modules should work, right?

Perhaps I should change the name of the vehicle equipment, so that it doesn't imply that it directly affects speed. When placed within vehicle grids, this type of equipment specifically only affects acceleration.

I don't remember if this statistic is easily visible in-game, but the effect should be most easily noticeable when placed in a tank, where even a single speed booster vastly improves the handling (making it reach its higher speeds more quickly)

Aaaah oke haha
It says 'movement bonus' when you mouse over the item. Thanks for the answer

Hmz, when you mouseover the train, both trains (with and without) give the same acceleration power

But you feel a difference, thats for sure!

Is there a way to copy paste all the grid to a different train/wagon? Like you can with spiderbots?

Yup, I remember somebody reporting the same thing to me at least a year or two ago; might just be a base-game issue, not sure. It definitely works in trains, the same person who reported it did various tests regarding the acceleration lol

I don't know about a way to do this with trains (in vanilla/by hand), but you should be able to do it with Equipment Gantry or Equipment Train Stop, both should be able to auto-update equipment grid of trains (though I haven't tested this personally)
