i [Request] new py compatibility

2 years ago

So the upcoming big update patch for py includes new train and wagon design where the wagons are 4 long instead of 6 and have no spaces in between. Size-wise a 1-4 train of this type is equal to a 1-2 standard train. I was wondering if you're planning/willing to make another variant of BRL. it would use the same graphics except you remove the part where you can add the chests afterward and you allow them to be placed right next to each other.

This would be a major project. Too many things in the mod depend on cargo wagons being at least 6 tiles long.

FWIW I investigated this and I don't think it's really possible without nearly a full re-write. If you go NORMALWAGON - LITTLEWAGON - NORMALWAGON. This is (7 tiles) (3.5 tiles) (7 tiles). The second normal cargo loader 4x4 entity wouldn't even start on a tile boundary if it's centered!

This is now somewhat fixed by the way. A single rail loader/unloader will handle a pair of small wagons.
