Did you try Honk?
Only thing missing is a warning horn.

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
This one doesn't make sounds, apparently, but it says it shows warning lights where a train is about to show up.

There's also this one, that lets you set train speed limits:

Oh, and finally, here's one that'll honk after the train kills you

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
Thanks for the links! But these mods don't implement the suggested idea. theTrolleyProblem is more or less close to this, but the solution is not authentic. And what I understood is that the problem is an actual one!Kyralessa wrote: ↑Fri Mar 05, 2021 8:07 amThis one doesn't make sounds, apparently, but it says it shows warning lights where a train is about to show up.

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
It would be awesome if you could wire up a real air horn to the game so that when a train is about to kill you in game a 160 decibel air horn sounds behind your head and you stroke out irl.

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
There are more mods:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/nice-try-train Makes player invincible
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/MoreHonks More honk sounds, 0.18 only
I also used for some time a debug-mode-option, to show the breaking-point of a train. So I knew, when I saw that breaking point incoming: RUN!
Think it was that: show-train-braking-distance - The distance a train will take to stop at its current speed

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
Thanks! The think is that Factorio intruduced a trains that copy behaviour of trains in the real world: thay have stations and schedules, they follow traffic signals and so on. But the most famous property of any train, the horn, is completely ignored. It is not good.
Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
Train horns when they start up, stop, or hit a rail crossing or gate could be a real nice immersion add. Safety feature, too! I've been slapdashing it by rigging a speaker to the signals inside intersections or player crossings, but it's just not the same as a good horn.

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
Reminds me of the classic Get off the tracks mod. That one seems to be deprecated now but was more immersive than "teleporting" away.coderpatsy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 5:53 amAnother mod that teleports players out of the way before they get splattered: https://mods.factorio.com/mod/splatter_guard

Trains should whistle
Trains should whistle a second before the're about to hit a player. So s/he can react.

Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
not gonna be free to implement. it's going to be expensive, CPU-wise.
Re: Train horn - warn the user about bumping
Exactly. It’s more or less like the calculations for gate opening/closing, but the gate is very fast and very wide. ![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
See also the arguments above. In narrow areas, with many trains this will get soon very annoying.
I think I can say: this will never come in the suggested way. What I can think are some of the features of the mods above. So I will not move it to won’t implement yet.
