wow, thanks for continuing the work.

Omgomgomg, new trains mod based on vehicles framework, exciting news!!!!

When is the Maglev update

Never thought I'd see the day that trains where in Rimworld. Factorio and Open TTD got nothing on RW now.

Looking forward to the update. Thumbs up.

oh? i'm interested seeing that train work like vehicle framework ... especially armored train.

Last year I had started work on a better train mod using Vehicle Framework. I made some good progress on it but my personal life got crazy busy over the past year and I haven't had much capacity to continue working on it until recently.

The new mod includes some custom Harmony patches to add world map movement limitations for the "railroad vehicles" and integration with Rails and Roads of the Rim. I'm also creating entirely new art assets that fit the Rimworld art style. This has taken a lot of time to not only get the style and sizing right, but also make sure all of the assets line up properly on placeable rails with couplers and buffers.

So far I've added 2 new custom locomotives and a variety of railcars (significantly better art than the old steam engine in this mod that was supposed to just be a temporary placeholder asset!) Before releasing, I'd like to finish at least one or two more locomotives and the rest of the rail cars. Hopefully will release for both 1.5 and 1.6

1.5 plz

@Mlie pls update

1.5

1.5 plz

1.5 plz

1.5plz

1.5 please

1.5

please update

Does anyone know if this still works?

Will the vehicle framework helps to ground trains to ground as forcing them to use exit point that constructed with rail props?

CAN YOU HEAR US STEWARD STEWARD OH MIGHTY STEWARD
-john frostpunk

1.5，1.5，1.5，1.5，1.5，1.5！！

can anyone with modding experience transfer this mod to 1.5 if the author doesnt?

1.5 pls🙏🙏🙏🙏

That feel when you scroll down on the workshop-page of a mod like this and don't see Mlie being the most recent poster... :(

yeah its not working here on 1.5 no errors but the caravan doesnt launch just sits stuck

seems to work on 1.5, i have it loaded and it does not log any errors, and menu's load as they should,

does this definitely not work at all in 1.5, or is it a case of "it mostly works"? Some 1.4 mods do seem to work in 1.5

Why is the model for the old steam locomotive 2D?

its not moving

We need 1.5 please!!!!!

1.5?

1.5 plz :P

How do you get the tracks?

add electric trains pls and more 1 more diesel

Have to say this is one of my favorite additions to my modlist. I love that the only real reliable way to make them function is them "flying" off the map, I completely understand and it cracks me up. It's a very "Rimworld" solution and I do mean it when I say I love it, lol.

It's also been great for my colony that functions with a "train system" to reach out to other settlements and move things from one place to another. Really improved my gameplay and it's been very fun to use. Thanks!

woud become the coolest mod in history if it was working train \ station intrigated in online trading. where you coud send trains as a caravan to other players and mail in form of letters. mm add friends etc so many coool posibilites. same for airport whit shuttle but i like trains

Perhaps one day with VVE, we will have functioning trains. One day......

still tells me it requires SRTS Expandet 1.4 even tho i have it installed and Activated

@Aiyachan, yes I saw those too a while ago. I think this is for compatibility with various mods that introduce coal resources and if those mods aren't present, you get these warnings. Don't seem to hurt anything, though.

Mod causes this error:

it just fly away,strange

@PrinceOfPluto Just saw that you have started work on a new train mod utilizing SmashPhil's Framework. I took a glance at the xml files today for the vehicle framework and I could not tell how you can limit the terrain or "roads" that vehicles like cars or trains use on the world map. Let me know if you figure it out and I need to alter any xml or C# code for Rails and Roads of the RIm and I will gladly do it so the two can work together. It was great to see how well polished his framework looks though. Damn exciting.

for some reason my retard colonists like to deconstruct the engine all of the time

@PrinceOfPluto
I also commissioned some train art myself, lol. Definitely would be interested. Gonna send a quick FR

@Vex these art assets are all from PentalimbedP's Decorative Railway Props mod, but it's been abandoned since last August. I've actually been working on new train assets that will use features from the upcoming Vehicle Framework and Vanilla Vehicles Expanded mods, although those mods center around individual vehicles and currently don't have any code that would attach vehicles together like a train coupling. Lmk if you're interested in working together on that

Hey there! I was trying to create actually "functional" trains, but my art sucks. Would I be allowed to use the art from this mod? I could also do so by adding it as a prerequisite if that is preferred.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

No railroads in this one, that's a different mod: Roads and Rails of the Rim.

I've done all the research but I don't see any option of building rail roads in my place and on the map, what might be the problem?

这个和飞行冲突，一加载就出现红字

@Autismus Maximus yeah... the "Old" Steam Locomotive was the first train added before there were any locomotives in Decorative Railway Props, so I literally just used an image I found online as a placeholder. That's why I stated in the description "This train's texture will be updated in the future to a more Rimworld vanilla art style." I suppose "Old" is unclear when I meant it was the original legacy proof of concept that still exists so it didn't break anyone's saves. Honestly the rest of PentalimbedP's textures look fine except for the dimensions on the diesel locomotive which has a little too much detailing as well. They planned to add more content, but it's been inactive since August.

Once SmashPhil's Vehicle Framework is released alongside Vanilla Vehicles Expanded, I plan to release a new train mod I've been working on that uses the new vehicle mechanics. I hope you'll be happy to know I am creating many new train textures for it in the Rimworld vanilla art style.

id like to add the mods but the textures on the trains are really bad. You should look for someone who knows how to make art in the rimworld vanilla style
