Improved locomotive breakdown system

  • [p]Coupler Failure: The coupler can now break if wagons are connected at excessive speeds.[/p]
  • [p]Inspect Mode: Improved access to coupler component previews in inspect mode.[/p]
  • [p]Sounds: Added sound effects for when a part reaches 0% durability and for jammed, broken levers.[/p]
  • [p]Real Impact: Broken parts now have a tangible effect on comfort, performance, and safety.[/p]
  • [p]Dynamic Physics: Depending on the broken part, the locomotive may tilt, bounce, sway, vibrate, or suffer from braking and pressure issues.[/p]
  • [p]Scaling Difficulty: Problems intensify as more parts become damaged.[/p]
  • [p]Speeding Penalties: Exceeding the speed limit at "Slow Down" signs can cause full damage to a random part.[/p]
  • [p]Reconfigured a switch at Krasnoyarsk station to simplify maneuvers.[/p]
  • [p]Fixed stuttering of locomotive driving sounds.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][h3]How does it work now? [/h3]
  • [p]The more you exceed the speed limit at a "slow down" sign, the higher the chance that a random part of the locomotive’s undercarriage will be destroyed. [/p]
  • [p]Ignoring "Turn off the electrical power" or "lower the pantographs" signs may result in the destruction of electrical parts.[/p]
  • [p] Furthermore, levers wear out based on how often they are used.[/p]
  • [p] Additionally, non-electrical parts wear out as the mileage increases.[/p]
  • [p] Light bulbs wear out based on how long they remain switched on.[/p]
  • [p]Coupler components can be damaged if wagons are coupled at excessive speeds; the higher the speed, the greater the damage. [/p]
