BulletTrains_0.1.0
Useful for debugging complex train networks. "Memoryless" operation: no lasting effects to saves when mod is enabled/disabled.
Makes three simple changes to locomotive and wagon prototypes:
* Trains move at roughly 8x speed (a true bullet train)
* Capacity is reduced to 40% of normal in cargo wagons and fluid wagons (they are lighter like a bullet train)
* Fuel efficiency of the locomotives is 4x normal (to account for the 8x speed)
Basically, this makes complex rail networks less of an "overkill" solution in the midgame. Unloading and loading times are unaffected -- inserters and loaders next to train stops still work at the same speed. You will need about double the amount of coal for the same distance traveled, but this is the cost of the extra speed and throughput.
It is also very satisfying to watch bullet trains at work. Just remember to look both ways crossing the track
