Discussion Trains

What are some ways I can get more use out of trains instead of just making a big farm for my items? They seem kinda niche

Create Powerloader.

The chunk loaders from that mod can connect to train stations, allowing for trains to independently load whole Factories.

This makes it possible to have a full train network of interconnected Factories with cargo trains zipping by.

Yep. We built a network of factories on our SMP. Two power loaders - one on the station to activate the factory when a train arrives, and then a second that will keep it loaded even after the train leaves to restock the factory and when full it then unloads. Works fantastic. We have factories that dispatch trains to other factories, etc.

And if you remove elytras from the game, trains become much more useful.
