TNT Engine / Track 'n' Tunnel Construction Engine.

This Train Engine allows you to build/repair tracks in front of it while driving and also dig tunnels. It has no mods, but uses the LCD2 script.


Get started:
- spawn blueprint (engine connected on rail, as always)
- disconnect engine (button 5)
- make sure, train is converted to ship

Build Tracks:
- a projector mounted to the track pojects a very long rail (3500 blocks long)
- simply activate the welder (button 1) and drive forward
- welder will build the projected rail pieces
- make sure, you have enough steel plates loaded.

Dig tunnel:
- there are two ways of making tunnels at the moment
- activating the drills to drill automatically (button 7) will gather ores and dig a tunnel with very small radius
- choosing the manual drills (button 2) and pressing right mouse button won't gather any ores but dig a much wider tunnel.
- hint: open and close inventory while holding right button will make the drills continue drilling until you press right click again or leave the cockpit.
- there are 4 atmospheric thrusters that are set to override. They are off by default. If you activate them (button 9), they will push the train forward, slowly. You can watch the train dig the tunnel by itself.
- 4 ejectors with sorters will eject all the stone you gather. If you want to keep the stone, just deactive the sorters

My projector isn't projecting the rail. What to do?
- sometimes the projection isn't shown although it's there. Try turning the projector off and on again.
- if the blueprint is missing in the projector, just build a long rail and make a blueprint out of it or use this 3500 blocks long rail.
(warning: spawning the rail ingame can cause a lag of up to a minute. Better just use the blueprint in the projector without spawning it before.)

Script used: Automatic LCDs 2 by MMaster (Thanks to MMaster for making this awesome script)


This train is included in my Monorail Testworld 2.0. You can test it there on a predesigned railroad track.
