Preeeeeeee-sentiiiiiiiiiing, The first completed Stormworks Narrow Gauge railroad mod,
DONKK COAL & SPYCAKES HARBOUR! (DC&SH)
This whole thing is the brain child of me and a friend. Kade, the co-creator of the other narrow gauge mod, yet to be released, was teaching me how to place track in the Stormworks world editor software, and I had a thought:
There's this weird tunnel on Spycakes island that leads into this mine area. What if Someone built a railroad there?
After placing track through it, I just kept going, and eventually, after several potholes, created the product as you see now.
Now I'd like to make some things clear: This is NOT a refined product. This mod, in all its errors and successes, is more of a testbed to see if I could make mods. As it turns out, I can, so the next mod will be of a higher caliber of quality.
More important to you, the user, however, is that there are some seriously restricting and challenging issues with operating this railroad, which come from the restricting max loading gauge, including a max of THIRTTEEN BLOCKS TALL OR LESS, which is very important to remember, as well as steep grades and sharp curves, and small yards.
Now with all that said, this mod IS fully functional, so long as you get the other half of it, an addon which spawns in the switches, Coal sellers and water towers, for you steam fans out there. Don't count on them working though, they were made by Kade, and as it turns out, he's not super well-versed in how addons work in this game, so direct your complaints at him. Sorry, Kade.
Well, the mod is fully functional under the understanding that you will need a coal mining rig to actually produce the coal you'll carry on the trains. Getting it to the mine is either a challenge of dealing with loading gauge and putting it onto a flatcar on a train, or just driving it up there via the other path not obstructed by the rails. Your choice.
There you have it. If you have any complaints, or more importantly bug reports, please let me or Kade know and I will get to work on it because Kade actually can't nor should he work on this mod. Compliments are also welcome, to nobody's surprise. Cheers!
Oh, and here's the link the the switches mod. If you complain about there being no switches, I WILL laugh at you for not reading the description. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3618785210]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3618785210[/url]
PS: Also increases the size of the harbour workbench as well as the Terminal workbench.
