🎃 Happy Halloween, dear community! 👻
As the leaves fall outside and darkness settles over the tunnels, it’s time for a small but exciting DevLog Halloween update! 🦇🚇
Today, we’re taking a look at a feature many of you have been curious about: coupling with the Battery Locomotive AL1! ⚡
The AL1 is equipped with a Scharfenberg coupler, which makes coupling in-game pleasantly simple.
Just slowly drive up to the desired vehicle – for example, the LB6 wagon – and the connection will automatically lock into place. The system engages on its own, just like in real life.
To supply power to the LB6, you’ll need to manually attach a power cable between the AL1 and the wagon.
This cable transfers electricity so the wagons can be properly powered.
It’s a classic touch of realism – you’ll need to connect it yourself to complete the setup.
When you want to uncouple the locomotive, the process is just as realistic:
Inside the cab, there’s a button to release the coupling mechanism.
After that, simply disconnect the power cable to fully separate the locomotive.
Only then is the AL1 ready for its next task – whether it’s shunting duties or coupling to another vehicle.
This feature offers a first glimpse into the level of detail and mechanics behind the upcoming Battery Locomotive AL1.
More exciting functions will be added in future updates – so stay tuned for new information about the AL1 and its role in the game! ⚡
Until then, we wish you a spooktacular Halloween and lots of fun exploring the tunnels…
Who knows what might be lurking down there in the dark... 👀🎃
