... possible examples, there could be:

Crude Locomotive. Slow, inefficient, weak, but early research, and cheaper to build. (See this mod .)
Diesel Locomotive. Can burn crude oil (inefficient), light ... the "normal" locomotive to only burn wood, coal, or maybe "solid fuel".)
Electric Locomotive ...

Applying a barrel on your vehicle would fill ... boilers instead of solid fuel. The wood- and coal-accepting boilers might be upgraded to oil ...

Here's my thoughts on trains:

--Steam locomotive is available when you first research rail. It's ... 60% of the acceleration and top speed of the diesel loco. It's fuelled with wood, coal, etc. AND water (so you need a pump).

--Diesel locomotive is researched after a separate tech that takes blue ...

- Optionally adding a station to specifically ... with energy, eliminating the need for coal to power the train. Maybe the existing diesel locomotive can be upgraded (like the belts) so it can also handle being powered by electricity and can ...

Diesel engines that used pulverized coal as fuel have existed in the past.

Not so sure about diesel engines using pulverized telephone poles though. That seems like a bit of a stretch.


I've got a steam locomotive partially implemented as a mod, it is possible to do it. But the fluid handling code as of ...

... time and time again that you can make a diesel engine that burns coal.

Prior to diesel fuel becoming a thing, diesel engines were built using a variety of different fuels.

Among them, coal ... Of course I really would like to see steam locomotives in Factorio myself, and just recently a mod ...

I can't count the number of times, during remote field tests of trains, I've resorted to just throwing a handful of wooden boxes or power poles in, just to get the thing to move ...

Steam locomotives require much water...
But I'm not very favouring this... Better would be tank ... locomotives...
Screw water :) We now got Diesel locomotive working on coal without water :)
It'd be replaced with locomotives that only run with light oil of course... Don't think it would make ...

Hello,
I'm always irritated by "Diesele locomotive" which runs on coal.

Maybe it would be possible to implement other types of locomotives like:

- Steam Locomotive -> Runs on coal -> low/tech slowest one
(needs supply of coal, which is troublesome)
- Diesel Locomotive -> Runs on crude oil/light oil ...
