Quantum Catapult

Quantum Catapult

A Factorio 2.0 mod that adds interplanetary train transport via Quantum Catapult buildings.

Overview

Quantum Catapult allows you to teleport trains between different planet surfaces using two linked buildings:

• Quantum Catapult Sender — A train stop where trains enter. When a train stops here, it is teleported to the linked receiver.
• Quantum Catapult Receiver — A train stop where trains arrive after being teleported from a linked sender.

Senders and receivers can be placed on the same surface or on different surfaces.

How to Use

1. Research the "Quantum Catapult" technology.
2. Build a Quantum Catapult Sender on any surface next to a rail (it works like a regular train stop).
3. Build a Quantum Catapult Receiver on the same or a different surface next to a rail.
4. Open the Sender's GUI and use the dropdown to select a Receiver group, then click Link. All senders and receivers with the same name are treated as a single group — just like regular train stations.
5. Schedule a train to stop at the Sender station — when it arrives, the entire train (with all cargo, fluids, passengers) will be teleported to a random Receiver in the linked group.

Features

• Full train teleportation: locomotives, cargo wagons, fluid wagons, artillery wagons
• Preserves all cargo, fluids, fuel, ammo, and wagon filters
• Transfers passengers riding in the train
• Preserves the train's schedule and mode (automatic/manual)
• GUI for linking/unlinking sender and receiver groups
• Senders and receivers with the same name form a group — linking applies to the whole group
• When teleporting, a random receiver from the linked group is chosen
• Catapults can only be built on surfaces with a minimum gravitational field strength (e.g. not on space platforms)

Settings

• Early Unlock: Choose when the Quantum Catapult technology becomes available. Options are at Space Science, Cryogenic Science, or Promethium Science (default).
