Trains are great, but stacked belts outclass them in raw throughput.
If the legendary version of Cargos had increased cargo size, they’d be a much stronger alternative and stay competitive in late-game setups.

Re: Increase cargo size for Legendary Cargo Wagons and Fluid Wagons
+1, also just generally (w/o considering quality) I feel like trains are weak compared to how cheap/fast belting is...
- nerf landmines, bots
- change infinite resources (solar, space-mining, etc...)

Re: Increase cargo size for Legendary Cargo Wagons and Fluid Wagons
I like this idea, or at the very least I like the idea of trains being better.
Maybe there is a reason that train wagons aren't affected meaningfully by quality, but maybe not? steel / logistics chests were originally unaffected by quality and were patched to be bigger with quality AFAIK
On that note, maybe quality train locomotives could accelerate a bit faster and have a slightly higher top speed, too.

This is already provided by quality fuel. But I think braking force would be more useful anyway. It’s actually quite important for throughput.juliawtapp wrote: Tue Sep 16, 2025 8:07 am On that note, maybe quality train locomotives could accelerate a bit faster and have a slightly higher top speed, too.

Re: Increase cargo size for Legendary Cargo Wagons and Fluid Wagons
given the fact that quality fuel does do that, and the fact that braking force is not an infinite research, it does make sense that they could have better brakes.CyberCider wrote: Tue Sep 16, 2025 8:37 amThis is already provided by quality fuel.

anything more interesting than increased health (not super useful) would be welcome for me.
