CartTrain Locomotives
An addon for CartTrain that lets the vanilla Scout and Hauler act as the lead vehicle for a train of large carts.
Controls
- Move a vanilla large cart behind the Scout or Hauler.
- Hold either the cart or the Scout/Hauler.
- Press Left Shift + X to connect them.
- Hold either connected object and press Left Shift + X again to disconnect.
There is no automatic coupling.
Features
- Scout and Hauler can tow the first vanilla large cart.
- CartTrain can continue the chain behind that first cart.
- Visible connection beam while the locomotive/cart connection is active.
- Virtual-hand towing: forces are applied to the cart, not the Scout/Hauler.
- Soft stay-behind handling keeps the first cart closer to the vehicle centerline and reduces wall/floor snagging.
- Only the vanilla
Item Cart Mediumis accepted as the locomotive follower, avoiding accidental links to unrelated modded carts.
Requirements
- BepInEx
- CartTrain 1.3.1
Notes
CartTrain Locomotives is designed as an addon to CartTrain rather than a replacement for it. The Scout/Hauler handles the first cart; CartTrain handles carts farther back in the chain.
0.3.4 heavy-load handling
- The attached first cart ignores collisions with its Scout/Hauler while linked.
- Added mass-independent horizontal catch-up assistance so heavy cargo does not act like a parking brake on the locomotive.
- Vehicle/cart collisions are restored when detached.
0.3.4 handling update
The first cart now follows a short breadcrumb trail of the Scout/Hauler rear path. This helps it round sharp corners and doorways instead of cutting across the inside of turns and catching walls. The cart remains physics-driven; no MovePosition/teleporting is used.
