Trains and furnaces

Post by CrowBranwen »

TL;DR
Make trains able to load furnaces from above.

What:
an addition with the verticality of trains coming where you can unload ore from underneath a train if you make a stop above furnaces. Maybe with an attachment you could make like a hopper or you could make it a type of track that could use your current colored belt as a base for item transfer speed.

Why:
the concept of raised trains going over furnace lines to load ore seems cool to me

I'm not sure I'd want to trivialize unloading so much to where it's direct to furnaces, and any bulk unloading/loading would need to be restricted (ores are the only ones that make sense to me) as otherwise it'd completely supplant normal unloading and make it pointless to use.

(And I know this was suggested before, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe it was only in the FFF on elevated rails?)

o_o That's nice one!
I believe it would make more sense in a form of dedicated "dump truck" like wagon though.
(seems perfect for transporting single type of items in bulk, as in real world)
