Early Expensive Trains
Unlocks an expensive variant of trains, tracks etc. at Tier 4 (Logistics Mk.3)
Description
This unlocks an expensive variant of the train system for use earlier on in the game. For balance reasons, each ingredient used in these "prototypes" are exactly the same as the Tier 6 variants (you'll still need plastic and rubber, so get ranching or exploring) however the ingredient amount for each item is double the cost of vanilla.
Should be safe to add and remove mid-game. Trains and systems should still function correctly once the mod is removed. However if you dismantle a part that was placed before removal no resources used in construction will be returned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Early Expensive Trains not working after update – what to do?
After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Early Expensive Trains has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.
Early Expensive Trains causing crashes in multiplayer – solution
Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use Early Expensive Trains v1.0.3 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.
Is Early Expensive Trains compatible with other Satisfactory mods?
Early Expensive Trains uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.
