Just use the normal rails! For an elective Train to work you need to add a contact wire. could even use exsisting graphics from powerpoles..
If the train drives out of an electified rail its just rolls until its momentum is gone.
In addition, electic trains usually have a much higher maximum speed..

Hi,
if you open a train that is in an area without radar coverage you can cheat by clicking to change its color and then go back, where you can zoom out.. You see everything as if you would have radar coverage there.

TL;DR As of now, trains accelerate linearly to their maximum speed. This should be converging depending on drag, mass and power of the train. What ? Train acceleration (and vehicles in general) should include drag. Since drag increases squared to speed, trains converge to a certain speed. This mean...

Sorry, I made the first one and it didnt show up, not even in "view your posts". Thought that was a glitch and made another one..

Hi,
since I upgraded from a i5 2500k to a Ryzen 1700 I'm getting massive stutters, especially when zoomed out. I was able to fix this by setting the affinity of the game to one of the CCXs -> "Core" 0-7 or 8-15.

Hi,
since I upgraded from my 2500k to a Ryzen 1700, the vanilla game has massive stutters when zoomed out. I just found out how to completly get rid of this: Set the affinity of the Factorio-process to one ccx -> "Core" 0-7 or 8-15.
