Track and Trains

[1.1.35] - 2026-11-06

Changed

• Renamed to Under Track Paver:
  • Renamed the paver machine to Under Track Paver across item name, entity name, container title, screen title validation, and in-game action bar messages (message.miningtools.track_paver.*).
  • Updated the Railroader's Field Manual entries and recipes to reflect the new Under Track Paver title and description.
• Turnout Rail (Right) Crafting Recipe Update:
  • Re-aligned the crafting recipe for Turnout Rail (Right) so the redstone lever is placed on the middle-right instead of center:
    • Top row: Rail, Blank, Rail
    • Middle row: Blank, Blank, Lever
    • Bottom row: Rail, Blank, Rail
  • Symmetrically matches the Turnout Rail (Left) recipe layout (which positions the lever on the left).

[1.1.34] - 2026-11-05

Changed

• Mod update

[1.1.34] - 2026-11-05

Changed

• Road Paver Rail-Only Operation & Automatic Track Navigation:
  • Converted the Heavy Track & Road Paver to operate exclusively as a rail cart, aligning with the rail-riding mechanics of the Tunnel Bore without mining terrain blocks or laying rails.
  • Restricted placement to railway tracks (TrackPaverItem places exclusively on rails, snapping directly onto the rail centerline with orientation aligned to track layout).
  • Added continuous rail following: smoothly follows straight rails, ascending/descending slopes, and curved tracks in both Forward and Reverse modes, halting safely if an obstacle blocks the path or upon reaching the end of the line.
  • Continues paving the 1-deep by 3-wide foundation strip (center block beneath the rail and left/right shoulder blocks) while preserving all tracks and ties intact.
  • Enhanced train consist reverse handling: added pushTrailingCartsOnReverse to prevent trailing railcars from bunching up when the paver reverses, and registered the paver's coupler radius (1.45m) in TrainChainingUtil.
  • Streamlined paver GUI: replaced the obsolete off-rail Cardinal Lock button with a full-width Hologram Guide button in TrackPaverScreen that projects the 3x3 paving footprint along the actual track route.
