🛠️ Create: Maintenance Control
Create: Maintenance Control is a small addon for Create that lets you temporarily disable Train Stations, making trains skip them without having to edit their train schedules manually.
Place a Maintenance Box next to a station to mark it as under maintenance. Trains with that station in their schedules will automatically skip it until maintenance is disabled again.
🛠️ Dependencies
- This mod requires Create
- Using a recipe viewer such as JEI or EMI is recommended
🔎 Features
Maintenance Box
Place a Maintenance Box next to a Train Station to mark it as under maintenance.
While maintenance is active:
- trains will skip that station instead of stopping there
- train schedules do not need to be edited manually
- redstone can be used to temporarily disable the maintenance effect
Example use cases
- Temporarily closing a platform during rebuilding
- Skipping a station during track work
- Toggling maintenance with redstone for operational events
Current behaviour / limitations
- If a disabled station is a terminus, trains may encounter route errors unless the network allows them to pathfind from the previous stop to the next scheduled one.
- This is currently the intended behavior rather than a bug/limitation.
- The mod currently focuses on skipping maintenance-marked stations rather than rerouting trains to alternative destinations. More advanced routing behaviour may be explored in future updates.
- Best results are achieved on networks where trains can still pathfind from the previous stop to the next one.
