Aside from the masochistic need of constantly feed resources, I really loved the ideea of having trains go from planet to the space station in the Space exploration mod
I don't know if anyone did already such a mod (mind you, I'm talking about using TRAINS and not storage or rockets or whatever).
What is the main things of the ideea:
Not an end game stuff. Sorry, I never understood why we need to play all the way to the end game just to have access to stuff we will use (for anyone who don't get what I mean, imagen playing Space Age and both bots need Promethium, but hey, after you can create all the bots you want....)
Mid game is perfect.
Trains on platform: no. Not really.
Train that are staying (not moved) on the platform, yes, this is more.
If it helps, imagen we are seeing an island and a ship (aka the platform), the train, can move from land onto the ship. The train can't move on the ship, and ship can't get access to train's storage. But once the ship has traveled the sea (aka space), the train can get off the ship onto the land (aka it reached a new planet).
And if you do want to create an end game stuff that used Promethium, how about using a gate that train uses? Like how linked belt works but for trains <- and please, if you want the game to need Promethium or whatever else to function, at least add a tickbox. Like in my case, I would love if the game, uses JUST electricity (even if massive, aka to use uranium and plotonium for something), but no need to top them on with anything else.
That is the bare bone ideea.
Also, no, sending the stuff via rockets is not the same as what I wrote. You are talking about loading and unloading the trains contend on SMALL, slow, and take ages, little boats, while in my case, I am talking about the train, as a whole, regadless how much it has, to be transported. Heck, you might even add a research on how many wagons the train can have.
Tains: planet from/to platform (similar to Space exploration mod)
This is the place to request new mods or give ideas about what could be done.
