Modular Locomotives

[Kyos]

Well I was going to do a point by point breakdown of the idea. But apparently its already been suggested here. Wonderful concept by the way.

Anyho: Train Engine modifications: Applicable to the sides, front or top of the train. With some mixing and matching as the situation warrants.

Nice. Really good drawings.

Instead of adding only armor/weapons (*) , I would like to have provisional power supply (just enough to place two or thre roboports), an inbuilt roboport (**), wagons as provider/requester chests (as you like) and a track builder like https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =14&t=4287.


(*) there was this "fight-train-" and "artillery train-" idea a year ago, look for example here, which is I think also a very good article about the uses and the possible expansions of trains: https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=6&t=1512
- the artillery train is mentioned on page 4, and btw. Kovarex mentioned here also a personal teleport building

(**) to place roboports and basic defense structures via blueprint, https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... =32&t=4232
