A cheaper, more efficient but slower diesel locomotive.
- Is slower (max speed is about 90 km/h) and has better brakes.
- More fuel efficient (about 60%) than the stock locomotive.
- Is hardly affected by the wagon count.
- Has a bigger light cone and will activate it earlier.
- Cheaper to build: Only needs 12 engine units, 16 gears, 20 iron & 4 steel plates.
Why should I want a slower locomotive? Well, it's actually not that slow. Its probably not the best choice for transporting things over long distances, but its ideal for small transport within your factory. Also, you will survive being hit by it!
The complete opposite to the cargo locomotive.
- Is extremly fast (max speed is about 360 km/h).
- Has pretty bad brakes and will need some time to get to max speed.
- 5 fuel slots - which you should really fill. For comparison: A cargo locomotive will be powered by a single solid fuel block at max speed for about 1,45 min and a distance of about 1,9 km - this will run a high-speed locomotive for about 10 seconds! But this is enough for nearly 1 km, so if you can afford it, your ressources will arrive pretty quickly.
Why should I want a faster locomotive? Let's be serious for a second.
A faster but far more fuel consuming high-speed locomotive.Done!The cargo locomotive should not be impacted much by a high load.Done!- Automatically dual-headed cargo locomotive.
- Speed upgrade for the cargo locomotive while keeping its efficiency.
- Electro locomotives!
Thansk a lot to d3phoenix and his mod, color coding. This mod is mostly based on his mod and he gave me the permission to use his code and graphics. Even more thanks go to hitzu, who made those graphics.
Thanks to Florian "Fank" Kinder for the german translation.
