About Train Automation Tool

From Factorio Mod Portal

Adds a selection tool that can toggle train modes from manual to auto and vice versa.

Train Automation Tool

This is a mod for the game Factorio. It is published on the Factorio mod portal in .zip format. The source code is visible on the Github page.

This mod introduces a customizable tool accessible through the default shortcut 'ALT + A' or the shortcut bar. The tool can be click-and-dragged over trains to change their manual mode.

  • Normal selection (by default, Left-click) will set all selected trains to Automatic.
  • Reverse selection (by default, Right-click) will set all selected trains to Manual.
  • Alt-selection (by default, Shift + Left click) will toggle the mode of all selected trains (so trains in Manual mode will be set to Automatic and vice versa.)
