Create Train Physics Reloaded
by Cat4blep
Create Train Physics Reloaded changes how Create trains draw power, brake and handle slopes, curves and mass, and it needs Create to run.
What it does
Create trains gain a deeper physics model. Gravity, rolling resistance, fuel use, mass, tractive effort and a curve-safe speed limit all affect how a train moves. Ordinary engines cannot provide traction on their own, and fueled engines use their own configured power value. Automated trains again respect signals and stop at a red signal, and an optional automatic handbrake keeps unattended trains from rolling away. Hand-powered handcars from Steam n Rails keep their intended behaviour.
Electric motors from Electro Energetics provide traction only when the train is connected to a live supply, so a disconnected electric train no longer receives free traction. Pack makers can register extra motor blocks for the mod's train power system. Other add-ons that expose a suitable train power API can contribute power as well, while the stationary energy network is checked only after blocks become part of a moving train.
The mod requires Create and is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, and it is open source. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Multiplayer installs need Reloaded on both sides.
Key features
Gravity and mass model
Slopes, train mass and rolling resistance change how far a train accelerates and how much fuel it burns.
Traction and fuel rules
Engines need fuel to supply power, and electric motors draw on energized catenary or stored charge to pull.
Signal and handbrake behaviour
Automated trains stop at red signals, and an optional handbrake holds unattended trains in place.
Electro Energetics sound adjustment
The bundled resource pack replaces four loud default GTO traction layers and keeps the general rolling wind ambience.

What the author says
When Create: Electro Energetics is installed, Reloaded automatically enables a small built-in resource pack that silences four unusually loud and repetitive default GTO traction layers. The general rolling wind ambience remains enabled. A higher-priority user resource pack can still replace these sounds.
