• Added ground-support, downward-speed, and fall-duration checks.
• Added configurable fall-safety settings.

1.3.0

• Converted CartTrain to host-only operation so vanilla players can join without installing it.
• Removed custom CartTrain Photon RPCs and link-state broadcasts.
• Link physics and custom visuals now exist only on the host.
• Added delayed automatic release when a vanilla player grabs a connected follower.

1.2.8

• Fixed pull-to-release when the tether spring prevents the configured distance from being reached.
• Added grab-force direction and relative-velocity detection for reliable release intent.

1.2.7

• Added configurable PullDisconnectStretch, defaulting to 0.3 metres.
• Added host-authoritative multiplayer synchronization for pull releases.

• Prevented pulled rear carts from slinging forward when released.
• Added mass-aware critical tether damping.
• Added a short smooth-settling period after releasing a pulled follower.

1.2.5

• Enabled collision between connected carts.
• Added continuous collision detection to reduce tunneling.
• Increased solver and depenetration quality to reduce carts becoming stuck together.

1.2.4

• Added a solid light-red tether visual between connected carts.
• Tether visuals follow the physical anchors and include a small natural sag.

1.2.3

• Connections now run from each leading cart's real handle point to the following cart's front.
