I like the idea, but installing this mod just makes the game unable to start. I keep getting a 'failed to load mods, no map settings instance' error. I've doublechecked, even with just the 15.2 release version and only this mod I get the error untill I remove diesel locomotive.

You have to add a condition for using KS-Power or anyone not having it installed will get an error when your mod tries referencing fluids from that mod.

Code: Select all

if data.raw.fluid["diesel-fuel"] then
  USABLE_FLUID["diesel-fuel"] = {
    fuel_value = "2500KJ",
    fuel_acceleration_multiplier = 1.8,
    fuel_top_speed_multiplier = 1.15
  }

Awesome idea.

I have some requests/suggestions.

Expand to tanks and cars, and at support for modded vehicles (Bob's, Angel's, AAI).

Cheers

Tanks and cars doesn't have a good pump connecting animation though, besides, they are annoying to align with pumps manually

Fair enough. I wouldn't care about the animation though, and you could use belts to get into the right position.

Yeah it would be cool to be able to have it where if there is a fluid cart in the chain that it can draw from that, other wise you have to set up refueling spots where you have to take it out of the tanker and pump it into the engine.

This mod no longer works since 0.15.28 because the devs now has restricted a lot of features about trains and rails to be unmodable.

Thanks for all the hard work on the mod, I really enjoyed using it while it was working, pity that you have to put so much work into mods these days and get so little appreciation.

Thanks again for all your hard work!

Hi.

I was wondering why is Electric Locomotive mod still working?
Diesel Locomotive suits much more into Factorio imo so is there really no way to reintroduce it?

I am no programmer but I really like your mod.
Hm.... so we have a mystery donor... intriguing.

It is possible to redo it but it won't have the fancy pump animation connecting to the train as if it is filling the fuel from the top. Because back then, I used a hack that is impossible to do now.
