This would not normally be an issue, but pipes do not require a whole industrial base (coke oven, engine, rolling machine) to make. Second, it makes getting rails more difficult. Forget riding the carts, chunk load errors abound at high rates of speed and high speed rail isn't (servers don't tend to load chunks that quickly). The first and most glaring issue of Railcraft is that its principal reason for being, making rails and carts more useful, was rendered obsolete a long time ago with the addition of pipes (and more recently, tesseracts). As it stands I can only comment on Railcraft in context of the DW20 modpack. If you have IC2 installed, you can use Refined Iron for many crafting recipes.I wish Traincraft was in more than just one modpack. Assembly Table Tier II (Iron and steel parts).Assembly Table Tier I (Wooden and iron parts).In order to craft trains, you have to use the Assembly Tables (which are crafted in a Train Workbench).

Trains Īll recipes for ingame survival-accessible items can be found within the Traincraft Guide. Guide for Small Steam Locomotive but other steam engines may use a similar system. The below guide is for the Small Steam Locomotive but similar arragements, with slightly different positioning of inputs, apply for other steam engines. Thank you to creators of YouTube video that provided some of the information displayed here Many of the carriages are longer than a vanilla minecart so can easily get stuck on small plateaus used for slopes (1 block flat, 1 block slope, 1 block flat etc.) so instead use longer plateaus between each slope or a Traincraft sloping track piece. Instead right-click the engine with an empty hand and insert water as instructed or fuel as instructed in diesel entries. Even when halted, steam engines are still hot for a while so make sure they have enough water to allow time for the engine to cool down when the fuel runs out.ĭo not add water or fuel by right-clicking the train with the bucket as it will be added below not in the engine and will 'drown' it (may lose engine). Make sure you add enough water to steam engines as they overheat and 'explode' (engine despawns and you get a notice in chat) very easily when 'hot'. When this is complete reverse the engine up to the rolling stock (slowly) and you will be alerted that it is attached. In each instance you will be informed that has attaching mode on in chat. Holding the stake, right-click on the engine then the middle of the rolling stock. The standard way to connect engines and rolling stock (passenger carriages, goods wagons etc.) is to use a stake. May vary with some train types but the standard default command to access the train's inventory (PC) is R though this can be reconfigured as necessary (Minecraft Technic sometimes has overlapping commands).
