Create: Train Mining
Create: Train Mining adds automation tools for Create trains, including direct train movement without requiring a destination station.
It was originally made for self extending mining trains that place their own track, return to base when full, unload, then continue mining automatically.
Features
- Drive Create trains without a station destination
- Automatic mining and return cycles
- Configurable return and unload thresholds
- Automatic return to a selected station
- Resume work after unloading
- Direct train inventory monitoring
- Forward and backward train control
- Configurable train speed
- Optional control of train contraption actors such as Deployers
- Multiple automation controllers can operate independently
- Persistent configuration across server restarts
- Dedicated server support
Automation Profiles
The mod uses automation profiles so the controller is not limited to mining.
The included Mining profile can:
- Drive the train forward continuously
- Monitor its inventory
- Return to a configured station when full
- Wait for the train to unload
- Resume from where it left off
More automation profiles may be added in the future.
Optional Integrations
- CC:Tweaked
- Create: Additional Logistics
- Railways Additions
These mods are optional and are not required for the core automation system.
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge
- Create 6.0.10
Basic Setup
- Place a Train Automation Controller
- Select the Create train you want to control
- Select an automation profile
- Configure its settings
- Start the controller
For the Mining profile, configure the return station, mining direction, speed, return threshold, and unload threshold.
The train can then operate without requiring a station in front of it.
