Quality now actually matters for trains! Wagon capacity scales with quality, just like most other items in the game.
The Problem
In vanilla Factorio 2.0, quality on trains only increases health — a wasted opportunity. This mod fixes that.
Cargo Wagons
Higher quality = more inventory slots.
| Quality | Slots | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 40 | — |
| Uncommon | 52 | +30% |
| Rare | 64 | +60% |
| Epic | 76 | +90% |
| Legendary | 100 | +150% |
Fluid Wagons
Higher quality = more fluid capacity.
| Quality | Capacity | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Normal | 50,000 | — |
| Uncommon | 65,000 | +30% |
| Rare | 80,000 | +60% |
| Epic | 95,000 | +90% |
| Legendary | 125,000 | +150% |
Scaling
All bonuses follow the standard quality formula: +30% per quality tier (with Legendary at level 5 = +150% total). Same scaling as crafting machines, inserters, labs, and
most other quality-affected items.
Technical Details
- Uses Factorio's built-in quality_affects_inventory_size and quality_affects_capacity flags
- No runtime scripting — pure data stage, zero performance impact
