Overview

This mod adds colorful glowing trails to trains as they drive around

Features

Color and Glow can be independently enabled or disabled
Size and Length of the trail can be changed in mod settings
Trail color can either sync to the train or use one of over 70 animated color themes
Fully compatible with multiplayer, modded trains, and the space age expansion
Passenger mode toggle: only draws trails for trains with players in them
Includes main menu background simulation integration that reflects the current active mod settings
Four performance modes to balance visual quality and game performance: beautiful, pretty, balanced, and efficient
Optimized for minimal UPS impact. The mod should have little to no noticeable impact on game performance; trails are only rendered for active trains on visible surfaces, and rendering is tightly controlled to minimize draw calls and reduce render preparation time and overall GPU load.
