remaking bulk rail loaders, they even

[deft magnet]

Thank you!
That looks awesome.
Just a idea, would it be possible to get something to recolor the silos on the spot?

[dark void]

do you mean recoloring the silos similar to how you recolor a spidertron or a locomotive?

[deft magnet]

Yes

[dark void]

I can definitely do that. shouldn't be too hard

does it handle curves?

[dark void]

sort of. it won't try placing loaders on curved rail. if it started curving half way through in the gif, it would have placed the right loader but not the left

basically it will only place on straight-rail entities and nothing else, so it avoids curved rail or destroyed rail and so on

how does the auto placement work with trains that have more than 1 loco at the head?

[dark void]

in that case, you have to just manually pick up the first loader yourself (or accept that it won't be doing anything). I was thinking about adding a checkbox that says "skip first loader placement" or something along those lines

[edgy minnow]

makes sense, it would be a UI nightmare to have to define the train parameters

is it possible to only have the unloaders go under elevated rails?

that could look very cool if they actually had to dump downwards from the train

[dark void]

like an unloading station?

[edgy minnow]

yeah, i believe the original mod also had an unloading station

[dark void]

for now I'm going to make something super simple like this

I want to add a flipping unloader but I don't think I have the skills to make that yet

[dark void]

did you want it to work on curves?

[graceful kite]

I was just wondering whether it's generalized
