Suggestion: Trains should run over aliens

Post by Candunc »

When trains are at high speeds, they should be able to run over aliens. Currently they just stop the train and allow the aliens to break the cargo cars.

Definitely. That could actually make them useful.
Building full-powered defence along the entire track would be extremely expensive and kill advantage of trains instead of belts.

Building a turret array on the train stops would be fine.

BTW: Items from destroyed cargo wagons should probably spill on the ground instead of vanishing (unless the creepers are omnivorous like goats from Mo's Creatures mc mod MUHEHEHHEHE)

Yea, you don't see creepers going after the (much more expensive) belts, or the actual tracks.

Unless you have creepers disabled this is pretty much a requirement

Lost a bunch of copper because of this.
