Description
A Create addon that adds a full train health and armor system. Your trains can now take damage, be destroyed, and be defended.
Core Mechanic
Attach a Hull Assembly block to your train to unlock the upgrade system. Without one, trains still have base HP, but with a hull, you get access to 9 tiers of hull frames and 9 unique modifiers.
All trains are vulnerable to damage from mobs, explosions, projectiles, and environmental hazards. Manage your train's health or face critical failure.
Hull Frames
| Frame | HP | Special |
|---|---|---|
| Andesite | +15 | Cheap starter frame |
| Copper | +10 | Reduced critical threshold |
| Brass | +35 | Repair cost reduction, +1 modifier slot |
| Aluminium | +25 | +10% speed, slightly less durable |
| Iron | +50 | Blast & projectile protection, +1 slot |
| Steel | +60 | Heavy protection, +2 slots |
| Tungsten | +75 | Maximum protection, brittle trade-off, +2 slots |
| Netherite | +100 | Fire resistant, reduced speed penalty, +3 slots |
| Tungsten Alloy | +120 | Best-in-class everything, fire resistant, +4 slots |
All values are fully configurable.
Modifiers
Slot modifiers into your hull to customize your train's behavior:
- Overdrive Regulator: Speed boost when taking damage
- Emergency Override System: Lowers critical failure threshold
- Optical Camouflage: Reduces mob detection range
- Pristine Condition: Speed boost at full HP
- Superheated Engines: Flat speed boost
- Reinforced Bulkheads: Damage reduction
- Shock Absorber: Blast protection
- Reactive Armor: Reflects damage to attackers
- Engineer's Manuals: Chance to save repair materials
All modifiers are craftable using Create's Mechanical Crafter. They can also be found in dungeon loot.
Features
- Train Health System: All trains have HP. Damage them with mobs, explosions, projectiles, or environmental effects.
- Critical Failure: Below a configurable HP threshold, trains become inoperable. Players are ejected from controls. Smoke and alarm effects play.
- Repair System: Use the Repair Hammer + material in offhand to restore HP. Material depends on installed hull frame.
- Explosion on Death: Visual explosion with entity knockback when HP reaches 0. Train stays as a wreck to be repaired.
- Mob Targeting: Hostile mobs (including Creepers) actively target and attack trains. Detection range scales with hull upgrades.
- Damage Types: Blast protection, projectile protection, and fire resistance each reduce different damage sources.
- Speed Penalties: Train speed scales with HP. Higher-tier frames mitigate the penalty.
- Collision Damage: Trains take damage from hitting entities.
- Temperature Damage: Optional. Extreme biome temperatures damage trains over time, amplified by storms.
- Mandatory Hull Assembly: Configurable. Require a Hull Assembly block to assemble trains.
Tungsten
A new ore that spawns below Y=32. Full Create processing chain:
Mine > Crush > Wash/Smelt > Press into Sheets > Craft Hull Frames
Tungsten Alloy is created by superheated mixing tungsten + coal + netherite scrap.
Jade Support (Highly Recommended)
This mod has deep Jade integration and we highly recommend installing it alongside. Look at any train to see:
- Train name, HP bar with color coding
- Installed hull frame and repair material needed
- Speed, blast/projectile protection, fire resistance
- Critical failure warning
- Damage reduction stats
Configuration
Almost everything is configurable. Per-frame stats, per-modifier values, mob ranges, damage thresholds, temperature damage, explosion behavior, and more. Over 150 config options.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Forge 47.4.16+
- Create 6.0.8+
