Train Speed Limits

Train Speed Limits

The Train Speed Limits mod lets you assign a maximum speed (in km/h) to train signals, ensuring player safety around intersections and train stations.

🛠️ Features

• ✅ Direct Integration:

It can be directly integrated into any existing world without problems. This is the same for removing the mod.

• 🚦 Signal-Based Limits:

Speed limits need to be configured in a train signal. When a train drives past it, it will be limited to the configured speed.

• ⏩ Continuous Limits:

Trains will maintain their speed limit until it drives past another applied signal with a speed limit or cleared with 'Unrestricted'.

• 📉 Train Braking:

The train will start to brake after the locomotive drove past the speed limit signal. Braking is gradual like the unmodded game.

• 🔄 Copy/Paste Compatible:

Use Shift + Right-click and Shift + Left-click to copy-paste speed settings between signals (just like vanilla).

• 🤖 Automatic Only:

Only trains with drive mode Automatic are affected by speed limits. Manually controlled trains will ignore these limits.

❓ How It Works

1. Place a rail signal.
2. Click on the signal and open the GUI.
3. Set a speed limit (in km/h) and apply it via the checkbox.
4. Any train passing that signal while on automatic mode will adjust its speed.
5. The limit persists across blocks until overwritten or unrestricted.

😎 Use Cases

You might be wondering, why do I need to slow down trains? Well, how many times have you been hit by a train? Probably a lot of times if you've played Factorio a lot. 😄

Most of these "accidents" happen close to intersections, train stations and mining outposts. They are the perfect places for a speed limit!

⚠️ Compatibility & Known Limitations

• Works with vanilla and has been tested with the most popular mods.
• Mods which affect train speed behaviour (including "fast trains") could experience small issues.
• Initial spawn/movement may ignore speed limits until reaching the first signal with a speed limit.
• Try to limit placing signals with speed limits in corners/turns and close to intersections. This should normally work but there are certain cases the train doesn't detect the signal.
