Many of the carriages are longer than a vanilla minecart so can easily get stuck on small plateaus used for slopes (1 block flat, 1 block slope, 1 block flat etc.) so instead use longer plateaus between each slope or a Traincraft sloping track piece. Instead right-click the engine with an empty hand and insert water as instructed or fuel as instructed in diesel entries. Even when halted, steam engines are still hot for a while so make sure they have enough water to allow time for the engine to cool down when the fuel runs out.ĭo not add water or fuel by right-clicking the train with the bucket as it will be added below not in the engine and will 'drown' it (may lose engine). Make sure you add enough water to steam engines as they overheat and 'explode' (engine despawns and you get a notice in chat) very easily when 'hot'. When this is complete reverse the engine up to the rolling stock (slowly) and you will be alerted that it is attached. In each instance you will be informed that has attaching mode on in chat. Holding the stake, right-click on the engine then the middle of the rolling stock. The standard way to connect engines and rolling stock (passenger carriages, goods wagons etc.) is to use a stake. This is still possible for someone like Direwolf20 himself, as he has a large following behind him and that's what made his modpack famous and a spot on the launcher.īottom line, I don't agree with adding a new custom modpack server, perhaps if there's already an existing modpack for this suggested mod, then perhaps.May vary with some train types but the standard default command to access the train's inventory (PC) is R though this can be reconfigured as necessary (Minecraft Technic sometimes has overlapping commands).

This is the reason I think custom modpack servers are a bad idea, it's important to a server to be on an already popular modpack otherwise there would be no searches for it and therefore no new players.

As this would be a custom modpack there wouldn't be an existing popularity to bring in players. Eventually players quit or they move on to another of our server, or they get banned, it's inevitable to run out of players. We've had plenty of custom modpacks servers that haven't worked out for various reasons, the thing is that a modpack like this would become populated by the network's regulars and that would be about it. Playing around with adding a new server just for this gimmick and having a custom modpack to showcase it I can't see that working out in the long run. As every player would also have to add the mod separately.

As stated, adding a mod to an already existing modpack would hardly be possible, or atleast it would come with alot of hassle.
