Electric Locomotive

Unreleased

The Electric Locomotive, AKA, Train is a vehicle used to transport cargo and engineer along tracks. Their Freight Cars can be loaded/unloaded via a Train Docking Station. The Electric Locomotive can be automated, by setting a list of Train Stations for it to stop at. Trains are very fast, allowing for efficient long ranged resource transportation. Multiple cargo freight cars and locomotives can be attached together to form a single train. The locomotive might have a pull limitation of 10 cars but the locomotives can be linked so if there is a 50 car train, it will have 5 locomotives. There are currently switches in the track blueprints but they are highly unstable and unreliable. Until the next update for tier 7 comes out, the tracks switches are not trustworthy. When the update does happen though, the switches will be reliable and trustworthy.

Its description states that it requires 20MW of power to operate, although it requires none.
