This mod prevents trains from switching to automatic mode when a locomotive or wagon is added using ghosts.

This fixes an issue that occurs when you need to remotely replace multiple destroyed locomotives or wagons. Without this mod, the train switches to automatic mode as soon as the first wagon has been built, causing it to drive away before the remaining ghosts can be completed.

The mod can also detect trains built from blueprints and optionally stop them. This option can be enabled in the mod settings.



Features

  • Prevents trains from switching to automatic mode when when a carriage is added.
  • Optionally stops trains built from blueprints.
  • Toggle the fix at any time using the shortcut button or a configurable hotkey.
  • Shows an alert when a switch to automatic mode has been prevented (can be turned off in mod settings).
  • Automatically enables the fix whenever a locomotive or wagon is destroyed (can be turned off in mod settings).

Planned Features

  • Automatically switch the train back to automatic mode once its original configuration has been fully restored.
  • Advanced filter options to choose which trains should be protected from switching to automatic mode.
