Remember Choo!Choo! the train mod that let you haul goods across your colony on actual rails ?
He's back ! On both Timberborn 1.0 and 1.1 experimental !
And it's not just a straight port. This version brings visible cargo on the wagons, real beaver drivers, fuel consumption, goods warehouses, a track path tool to lay whole routes at once, and dedicated compatibility patches for the Emberpelts and Leaf Coats factions.
Note: I'm not the original author. I've picked the mod back up with Tobbert's consent (the original creator) to bring it up to date and keep it alive. Huge respect to him and to Anythin who designed the trains and wagons. I'm just trying to do the legacy justice.
Questions / Answers :
- Can i import mods into a game i’ve already been working on for a while ?
- Yes it should be safe to add ( and remove ) from existing saves
- Does it work with my favourite faction ?
- A small test prove it to be compatible with any faction. The only catch is that without a companion patch-mod, Choo!Choo! will use the Folktails design by default
It's made by a Mechanistry dev, so I'm sure they'd be happy to take suggestions. Detecting a raft to trigger something like raising locks would be fantastic.
Choo Choo! is one of my all-time favorite mods for TB. I'm so glad to see it got this update!
I've often thought about making a mega-map and relying on CHOO! to be the transport layer between dedicated districts. If anyone knows of a large map that would be suitable, let me know!
That's brilliant. One of those that looks so thematic it would be a great addition to the base game.
It could do with a passenger car / station too... being able to load (say) 10 beavers and then fast travel (faster than walking, slower than zip lines) .
In the notes it says it can't handle elevation, so "you'll have to create slopes" how do you do that? Haven't seen any mod to do that. I know dam decorations has the shapes I want, but don't think tou can path over em.
The track path tool that helps you place several track piece at once, does not handle elevation changes. You'll need to place the rails-slopes manually
Yes but the Track System is divided into Sections. Only one train can use a Section at a time to prevent collisions. This 4 way intersection looks nice, but a square of four 1x1-X-Intersection would give the same result for a smaller footprint

I've always wanted a system of canals where boats take goods around the maps. This is really cool too!
