Server Idea: Player Controlled Trains

Post by KiX »

Searching through the forums looking for this, no results. Okay... So me and a friend have had an idea for a Factorio server where players either follow a schedule or logistic like request system for trains, except players control the trains and bring items/fluids where needed. Pretty sure this would require some modding and neither of us know how to create mods. First post on the forums so :|

What I meant by player controlled trains is that people manually drive trains to stops, the entire map would already be made with stops and rail signals. Trains would automatically pull forward when you are near the stop you are assigned and rail signals would assist in braking etc. Players have an assignment tab that tells them where they need to go and plots a navigation line to the destination. This almost exactly works like the Logistic Train Network mod except players in trains instead of it running by itself.
