About Armored Rails
From Factorio Mod PortalArmored Train using legacy graphics
A simple armored train mod that adds a armored locomotive and wagon. The locomotive has a equipment grid. Graphics are from the old Factorio train sprites.
Planned Features / Todo:
- Update / Clean up the old sprites as they have some inconsistencies
- More testing / balancing
Known Issues:
- The armored train and wagon do not look visually correct when traversing elevated rail ramps (this is a limitation of the original spritesheet)
- The armored wagon flashes / changes shadows suddenly when traversing some curves (same issue as above with the spritesheet)
