About this Mod

Railways Additions adds many exciting new features depending on other mods you install with it. The only mod required is Create, and certain features will unlock depending on the mods you have installed with it.
1. Cruise Control and Cruise Control Remote

The Cruise Control attaches to your train controls, lets you set a speed, and start/stop your train so you don't have to drive. You can link the Cruise Control Remove to the Cruise Control, which will let you start/stop your train remotely, and has a setting to stop if you fall off the train. This feature only requires Create to be installed, nothing else.
2. Railways Untold Utilities
If you play with Railways Untold this mod adds some new blocks. The Safety Zoner allows you to select an area to prevent railways from entering that zone. This is good if you need to block of an area of your world. The Track Generator block when placed in the world creates new infinite track, good for worlds you may have started before Railways Untold was installed. The Track Location Connector lets you connect one location to another with rails, by placing the start block then choosing an end location.
The Farebox and Coin
Modpack authors can tag the coin with an event (a structure Railways Untold places along the track line) and using the coin will guarantee that event will appear next, regardless of its rarity.
3. Dynamic Headlights
If you have the LambDynamicLighting mod installed, you get access to new lights that can be attached to trains (or anything). The lights will follow the train as it moves. There is also a Hand Lamp players can hold. These lights are only available for Neoforge 1.21.1
4. Xaeros Worldmap map enhancements
If you have Xaero's Worldmap installed I've fixed the train track lines so they no longer blink or disappear at certain zoom levels. I've also increased the zoom out distance so you can zoom out farther.
