Track and Trains

[1.1.46] - 2026-11-12

Changed

• Mod update

[1.1.46] - 2026-11-12

Changed

• Expanded Railroader's Field Manual Interface Dimensions (MiningToolsGuideScreen):
  • Expanded the guide book window dimensions from 346×226 to 420×246 pixels to provide ample breathing room for content, long technical subtitles, and category navigation.
  • Widened the left CATEGORIES sidebar from 98px to 124px, preventing category titles such as Stations & Logistics and Tracks & Switches from overflowing the category buttons and border divider.
  • Sized the Table of Contents card container to fit exactly 7 full entry cards cleanly without bottom bezel clipping.

Fixed

• Table of Contents Text Overflow & Scissoring (MiningToolsGuideScreen):
  • Fixed subtitle text overflow across topic cards (e.g. Overhead Tank Car Filler • 10,000 mB Buffer and Overhead Tank Car Drainer • Pipeline Depot) that previously overflowed into the navigation chevrons and scrollbars.
  • Added width-aware ellipsis protection using font.plainSubstrByWidth for both title and subtitle strings across all entry cards and overview headers, guaranteeing text never clips UI icons or chevrons.
  • Enabled active hardware-accelerated GUI scissoring (enableScissor / disableScissor) across the Table of Contents, Overview description, Bill of Materials, and Crafting Recipe scroll views.
  • Fixed list items rendering outside the bottom border and brass corner brackets when scrolling or when list heights exceeded visible panel bounds.
  • Added bounds checking in mouseClicked to restrict card click detection strictly to within the visible scrolling view area.

[1.1.44] - 2026-11-11

Added

• Track Signal Switch Route Lock Delay (TrackSwitchBlockEntity & TrackSwitchScreen):
  • Added a configurable Route Lock Delay (seconds) option when adding or updating automated routing rules in the Track Signal Switch GUI (TrackSwitchScreen).
  • Switch Point Locking: When a train activates a route, the track switch now locks in that active position (OPEN or CLOSED) for the specified duration (0 to 300 seconds), preventing trailing consist cars, opposing trains, or conflicting routing rules from throwing switch points while the train transits the junction.
  • Live Lock Status & Countdown:
    • The in-GUI manual switch button dynamically displays the active lock countdown (e.g. Track: OPEN (5s) in amber yellow) and provides a tooltip with remaining seconds.
    • Manual operator toggles via right-click in world or the GUI button immediately clear any active automated route lock.
  • Enhanced Routing Dashboard & Editor:
    • Added a dedicated numeric Lock (s) input box beside the Train Name field with mouse wheel scrolling and keyboard arrow controls (up/down by 1s, or 5s with Shift).
    • Added distinct cyan route lock duration badges ([5s], [10s]) on routing list rows.
    • Added single-click rule editing: clicking any existing route in the list instantly populates its name, lock delay, travel heading, cargo filter, and fuel criteria into the top editor controls.
    • Rule row hover tooltips detail complete routing specifications and lock duration.
  • NBT Persistence & Network Synchronization:
    • Persisted RuleDelay_i per route and active countdown LockTicks to tile entity NBT, maintaining route locks across world reloads, server restarts, and chunk unloading.
    • Synchronized active lock countdowns to clients via TrackSwitchSyncPayload.

[1.1.42] - 2026-11-11

Fixed

• JourneyMap Option Registration Startup Crash Fix (JourneyMapTrainPlugin):
  • Fixed a NullPointerException (Cannot invoke "journeymap.api.v2.common.option.Config.get()" because "this.config" is null) during mod loading caused by calling optShowChunkOverlays.get() inside the OPTIONS_REGISTRY_EVENT callback before JourneyMap finishes binding Config instances to registered BooleanOption objects.
  • Added null-safe getOptionSafe(...) accessors and exception guards around all JourneyMap option reads and event callbacks.

[1.1.41] - 2026-11-11

Added

• JourneyMap Force-Loaded Chunk Anchor Overlays (ChunkMapSyncPayload & JourneyMapTrainPlugin):
  • Added live color-coded chunk polygon overlays on JourneyMap for both stationary Industrial Chunk Anchors (miningtools:chunk_loader) and mobile Rail Chunk Anchors (CabooseMinecartEntity / active train consists).
  • Color-Coded Overlays:
    • Stationary Industrial Chunk Anchors: Rendered with Industrial Cyan/Teal borders (#06B6D4) and translucent teal fill (#22D3EE), complete with a center block icon marker, chunk count badge (⚓ Anchor (9c)), and hover tooltip detailing the anchor's area (1×1, 3×3, or 5×5), total forced chunks, and block coordinates.
    • Mobile Rail Chunk Anchors (Anchor Caboose & Active Consists): Rendered with Railway Gold/Amber borders (#F59E0B) and warm gold fill (#FBBF24), dynamically tracking the moving train's forced chunk perimeter with a chunk count badge (⚓ Rail (Nc)) and hover tooltip displaying the custom Caboose or Train name and forced chunk count.
  • Fullscreen Toolbar Toggle & JourneyMap Options:
    • Added a dedicated "Chunk Anchors: ON / OFF" toggle button on the JourneyMap Fullscreen Map addon toolbar to quickly show or hide chunk anchor overlays at any time.
    • Registered JourneyMap addon options (Show Force-Loaded Chunk Anchors and Show Chunk Anchors on Minimap) under the Track and Train Pack category in JourneyMap's options menu.

[1.1.40] - 2026-11-09

Changed

• CN Diesel Locomotive Fuel Consumption Calibration (3× Travel Distance):
  • Tripled the fuel efficiency of the CN Diesel Locomotive (DieselLocomotiveEntity), extending its travel distance to 3× further per 1,000 mB of diesel fuel.
  • Replaced the fixed 1 mB/tick consumption logic with configurable ticksPerMb (Config.DIESEL_LOCOMOTIVE_TICKS_PER_MB, defaulting to 3 ticks per mB).
  • With the new 3-tick interval per mB, 1,000 mB (1 bucket) powers the locomotive for 3,000 ticks (150 seconds, up from 50 seconds), covering ~2,100 blocks at top speed (~33,600 blocks on a full 16,000 mB tank).
  • Added internal fuelTickCounter tracking with NBT persistence (FuelTickCounter) to guarantee consistent consumption rates across game pauses, world saves, and chunk unloads.

[1.1.39] - 2026-11-09

Fixed

• JourneyMap Duplicate Stopped Trains & Ghost Marker Fix:
  • Switched JourneyMap marker tracking and TrainMapSyncPayload keys from transient runtime int entityId (cart.getId()) to persistent entity UUID (cart.getUUID()). Previously, whenever a chunk unloaded and later reloaded, Minecraft assigned a new runtime entityId to the reloaded train while leaving the old entityId marker frozen at its prior location on JourneyMap.
  • Added authoritative server snapshot reconciliation (fullSnapshot = true every 10 ticks) and immediate entity removal packets (EntityLeaveLevelEvent when RemovalReason.shouldDestroy()) so picked-up, broken, or despawned carts are immediately removed from JourneyMap without leaving ghost markers behind.
  • Updated JourneyMapTrainPlugin to invoke jmAPI.show(marker) alongside marker.flagForRerender() when position, heading, dimension, or label state changes, and subscribed to MappingEvent (MAPPING_STARTED / MAPPING_STOPPED) to cleanly reset and re-register markers across world switches.
  • Added server-side unloaded-chunk caching (parkedUnloadedTrains) so stationary parked trains in unloaded chunks remain visible at a single unified UUID marker and automatically transition to live tracking when loaded.
  • Added missing JourneyMap icon and consist resolution support for TrackLayerCartEntity (track_layer) and DieselLocomotiveEntity consists.
• Unattended Far-Distance Train Movement & Reference-Counted Chunk Loading:
  • Overhauled CabooseMinecartEntity chunk forcing to support DieselLocomotiveEntity (previously omitted), traverse the entire coupled consist bidirectionally (TrainChainingUtil.computeConsistForcedChunks), pre-force a 3×3 chunk grid 1 chunk ahead in the travel direction, and update immediately upon crossing chunk boundaries instead of waiting for a 20-tick timer.
  • Added automatic dynamic chunk forcing (TrainChainingUtil.tickActiveTrainChunkLoading) for actively running locomotives (BasicLocomotiveEntity, DieselLocomotiveEntity, ElectricLocomotiveEntity), self-propelled rail machines (TunnelBoreEntity, TrackPaverEntity, TunnelPaverEntity, TrackLayerCartEntity), and trains held at braking/control/station delay rails so active trains continue moving and updating on JourneyMap even when no player is in range.
  • Implemented per-dimension reference-counted chunk ownership (TrainChainingUtil) shared across Cabooses, active locomotives, and ChunkLoaderBlockEntity blocks so overlapping trains or trackside chunk loaders never prematurely unforce each other's chunks.

[1.1.38] - 2026-11-08

Added

• Configurable Auto-Push on Trackside Cargo Unloaders (cargo_unloader):
  • Added an in-GUI Auto-Push Toggle button (Push: ON / Push: OFF) to CargoTransferScreen and synchronized state via CargoTransferBlockEntity / CargoTransferMenu.
  • When enabled (Push: ON, default for backwards compatibility), the unloader actively ejects buffer items into the container or pipe directly below every 4 ticks.
  • When disabled (Push: OFF), active downward ejection is halted, allowing passive extraction pipes (such as BuildCraft / Refinery wooden transport pipes, which require an engine or gate pulse to extract items) to control item flow without being flooded by forced unloader ejection.
  • Saved and persisted the AutoPush state to NBT across world saves and block reloads.
