What is this mod for?

Planet Rubia provides stronger armored trains, but Factorio's upgrade planner does not support upgrading trains. This mod automatically converts all vanilla locomotives, cargo wagons, and fluid wagons to the Rubia armored counterparts the moment you boot up your save file. There is a setting to not extrapolate item filters to bigger wagon inventories.

The Catch

Migrations are once-per-save (due to engine restriction) and the magical transformation is almost a cheat. Thus, this mod imposes the following requirements to be satisfied when loading your save:

  • Project Trashdragon has been researched
  • At least 1000 armored locomotives, 1000 armored cargo wagons, and 1000 armored fluid wagons have been crafted on Rubia.

Failing to satisfy these requirements will cause a crash upon loading. In this scenario, please disable the mod, and re-enable once your save does satisfy these requirements.
