This mod adds new ore fields for the following new ore types: Tin, Silver, Gold, Galena (Lead), Tungsten, Bauxite (Aluminium), Zinc, Rutile (Titanium ore), and Quartz. It also adds the optional ores Nickel, Cobalt and Sulfur configurable in config.lua. Since Nickel ore is a requirement for Bob's Met...

Steam trains don't fit the theme. "Diesel train" doesn't fit the functionality. Exactly. and if you have a pump to fill a vehicle, you can use the same thing to pipe in water for a steam engine, diesel for a diesel engine, or oil, or other liquids to a cargo tanker (as an alternative to b...

Steam trains don't fit the theme. You say that, but we already have steam engines in the game to produce electricity. the only real difference between a steam engine there, and a steam locomotive is that instead of using the power to produce electricity, you're using the power to produce forward mo...

Diesel Locomotive, that burns wood/coal/fuel blocks... it just feels wrong.

I spend a moment planning what i'm about to build, measure everything out... then it interupts me and i have to measure it out ...

Coming up with a good name that describes most possible functions isn't as easy as it sounds.
