About This File

DESCRIPTION

This file contains four sets of freight automata, of types commonly seen in use across the UK rail network. The four features are Coal Hoppers (with empty and full variants), Cargowaggons, Box Wagons (with empty and full variants), and 102t tanker wagons. Each type also has a caboose variant with a warning light for night-time running.

There are 10 variations of wagon per type, the exception being the cargowaggons, which have 12 variations. All automata have HD textures.

Each wagon type will ADD automata, no REPlacements. The cabooses are REPlacements for the Maxis caboose.

INSTALLATION

Install into the 'Plugins' folder as usual. I would recommend making a folder just for these freight automata, to help keep things organised for future packs. If a freight type has an 'Empty' or 'Full' version, you can use either DAT separately, or use both for more variation. Use only one caboose file at a time.

These wagons are also compatible with vanilla Maxis freight wagons. However, If you wish to hide the vanilla Maxis freight wagons, move the included blocker file into the same folder as well.

COMPATIBILITY

Each set can be used on it's own, for a more consistent rake of wagons, or mixed together in any combination for mixed freight consists. IIDs start at 0xF94C1000 and will also be compatible with vanilla maxis freight wagons, and other freight wagon mods not using the same IIDs.

There aren't super low poly, but for some references:
- The tanker model is approx. 440 verts (the most of any model in the pack)
- The MK2 Carriages are approx 830 verts
- The A4 Pacific is approx. 540 verts

These aren't great, i'm sure there are better ways for me to optimise models and such but this is still just a hobby. But they're at least not as high poly as some of the other mods of mine.

Yes, see this post here:

tl;dr is some of my automata mods clash with the LRM mods, due to using the same TGIs for models and textures. Current advice atm would be to stop using the automata mods, until I am able to reassign my mods to a different range .

 

Edit 25/05/25: I've uploaded a temporary version that removes any files that conflict with LRM. This will be removed at a later date. only use if you use LRM and have noticed graphical issues.
