Electric locomotive brainstorming
liach opened this issue ยท 8 comments
I suggest to allow electric locos to carry ic2 batteries (max 50k probably) to allow them to power longer.
Also, add a button in battery cart guis to allow/disallow powering the loco.
I want to see "charging station" designs, which there will be one about every 1000 blocks.
More infos coming.
I like this idea. Could we also consider using power stored in a BatBox/MFE/MFSU cart as though it were a "fuel tank"? Couple the cart directly behind the Electric Locomotive for it to work. Possibly add a switch in the locomotive's GUI to enable/disable this function.
If it is going to power, it will produce a great drag. Once it ends to power, its drag will drop drastically.
I'd prefer to not to tie into IC2 too tightly here. I do plan to add some of my own battery "components" at some point, though.
See #1205
@CovertJaguar Do you plan to add charge battery carts?
