Description

Steel Trains is an early trains mod. You can unlock Monorail Train Technology and Railway Signaling at Tier 4 with steel-level tech. All rail network parts cost steel-level tech so you can build an entire train network out of steel. I tried to keep the costs/parts analogous to normal Tier 6 train tech but they are mostly guesses. Power usage is NOT changed, so be careful. Let me know on GitHub if you have feedback about what things should cost or how much power they should use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steel Trains not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether Steel 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.

Steel 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 Steel Trains v1.0.0 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is Steel Trains compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

Steel 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.
