Mini Trains Balance Rework

A mod that changes balance of a mod "Mini Trains" and vanilla train in many ways

> "Coded with 100% flesh, blood and a little bit of tears!"

• Every change made is optional and can be turned off with startup mod settings!!

• Space Age patch in future, but this mod is still compatible to run with it

• If you have ANY requests or found some bugs please report them on my Factorio mod page or GitHub repo

• This mod shouldn't cause any issues when added to an existing save, though any research that this mod changed will still be researched even if moved further in the tree

List of changes that the mod does sorted by in-game settings:

Mini train speed and power increase:

Changes the acceleration and max speed and other hidden values so the mini train has slightly smaller top speed than the vanilla train but faster acceleration than it:

• max speed on paper: 270 km/h from 173 km/h
• max speed in reality (on solid fuel while being double headed with 2 wagons or one loco with 4 wagons) ~225 km/h, original mini train reached 77 km/h with this setup
• added a 2nd slot for fuel
• braking force set to 7, was 6 ~~I think~~
• power consumption set to 600KW (with 80% efficiency this means the true power of the train is 480 KW)

Mini Train recipe change:

Changes recipe of the mini train from: 15x steel plate, 10x electronic (green) circuits, 5x engine unit to: 20x steel plate, 10x electronic (green) circuits, 10x engine unit

Mini fluid wagon capacity buff:

Buffs the capacity from 30k to 37.5k

Vanilla train speed and power increase:

Buffs the speed and acceleration and other hidden values and power consumption to:

Vanilla train research change:

Sets the required research for vanilla trains to:

• if set to Don't change:

• Just like in vanilla Factorio
• if set to To after logistics 3:

• Logistics 3 and if vanilla train recipe setting is set to Don't change then also speed modules
• if set to To after automation 3:

• Automation 3

Vanilla cargo wagon capacity buff:

Buffs the cargo space from 40 to 60 slots (can store now 3k ore)

Vanilla cargo wagon recipe change:

Changes the recipe from: 20x iron plates, 20x steel plates, 10x iron gears to: 4x steel chests, 16x steel plates, 12 iron gears, 20 iron plates
