I really want to make trains able to go 300-400km/h but this mod just doesn't work. It doesn't cause a crash but my trains all go the vanilla speed whether this mod is enabled or not.

Any idea what's up?

Hi...

this mod is so......flawed and unfinished, its incredible you dared posting it, even in alpha.

1. There is no data.lua, nothing is done.
2. If you rename train.lua to data.lua, you have to fix the code to
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].max_speed = 2000
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].max_health = 5000
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].max_power = "30000kW"
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].braking_force = 5000
data.raw["locomotive"]["diesel-locomotive"].energy_per_hit_point = 1
3. If you use this, you will notice that the speed is simply crazy and will crash Factorio pretty quickly.

I wrote a faster Train mod as part of my mod, which went to roughly 1000km/h. (Its a separate train though).
This thing here is supposed to be approx. 400.000km/h fast.

xBlizzDevious, did you upload an early experiment? Move that to help...

Moved to Work-In-Progress / Pre-Alpha Mods as this mod is not working / incomplete.

Been tweaking values, fixing code, and the locomotive STILL doesn't go faster.

I'm beginning to wonder whether or not if the 251.4 kph is hard-coded or not.

[HanziQ]

Wagons also limit maximum speed.

[bigyihsuan]

Wagons also limit maximum speed.

I've test multiple times with no wagons, still maxes out at 251.4 kph.

Wagons also limit maximum speed.

I've test multiple times with no wagons, still maxes out at 251.4 kph.

check list:
1. data.lua file in mod's folder

Code: Select all

data.raw.locomotive["diesel-locomotive"].max_speed = 2.4 -- should go about 500 without wagons

2. Mod have to be enabled
3. Factorio needs restart for changes to take effect.

Did all three. Still at default speed.

I have no idea why it's not working.

Thanks, it now works, but now I'm having trouble changing the values for the cargo wagon.

You need to give us more data to help. How did you try to change it? Any error messages?

look at the values I used in my mod, it works for loco and cargo
