Train Overhaul
Rethinks vanilla trains adding two more tiers and spreading them accross the Space Age progression.
Tier 1
Mini Trains are available with automation science, are slow, small and carry only small amounts of resources.
Tier 2
Steam Locomotives with vanilla cargo wagons are unlocked on Fulgora, making train based transportation for many items possible.
Tier 3
Vanilla Locomotives with Black Wagons increase both speed and capacity of your train based transportation network. They are a reward of reaching Aquilo.

Compatibility with other mods
- AAI Industry: Processed fuel is overpowered for vehicles. This mod resets it to be normal (no bonus).
- Lignumis: Mini trains require wood to craft.
Open for suggestions
This is how I like to play with trains. But I'm open for other opinions and like to offer changes or settings if you come up with good ideas.
Currently I'm uncertain what to do with the Maglev Trains added by Moshine. They come quite early and are supperior to tier 3 from this mod.
