I solved my problem using data.lua scripting. While you cannot access data.raw["category"]["original-item"].localised_description correctly, you can use locale tags from any item in the game to assign localised_description to your new item. You can use Lua string concatenation to...

I am working on my first mod, and part of what it does is create alternate versions of existing entities. For the entity-name and entity-description localization of the new entities, I would like to append a string to the localized name and description of the original entities. I can do this in loca...

Ah, then I guess I'm good for 4,086 couplings per minute for a full year of runtime...

Automatic Coupling System makes trains id count up too, but slower. I'm at 45000 after a few dozen hours, with about 30 trains. Is there a point where high train IDs will cause problems? Or will they roll over a 4 billion or something?

I'll give that a try, thanks! It may have trouble with my switching yard, though, since there are stops and signals in random places to make coupling work. Update: Noxy's Multidirectional Trains does work as advertised. But something about how it reassembles the trains after flipping the locomotives...

I tried the LTN stops and that's just what I need. Thank you! On an unrelated note, I am also using your Trains & Fuel Overhaul mod. One think I wish was that my engine consists did not need a dead-weight engine to let them back into a train when they couple onto it--if the backwards one helps a...

I'm making a rail yard and it would be really useful to distinguish empty cargo wagons from empty fluid wagons. Have you considered adding this, or is it even possible in the game?
