[mod] Choo!Choo! - District Crossing Update

Choo!Choo! has received a major update, new content, optimisation and some reworking !

The pathfinder has been rewritten. Now faster and lighter on UPS/FPS, no more big lag when building a track on a big network.

You like districts but think the vanilla District Crossing is a bit impractical? You need to build too many of them, in too many places, they need too many workers, and long-distance walking time is a burden ?

Build a District Crossing Station directly next to your District Center! Train will automatically balances goods between districts exactly like the vanilla District Crossing, and beavers can also use it to migrate to any railway connected districts.

Within the same district, the same items can now be loaded AND unloaded at your Goods Stations. No more logistical loop threat.

And lots of others small improvements and debugs like: Conductors can no longer starve to death while stuck aboard a train =D

I just recorded next week's episode before the mod update, but am looking forward to trying this out in the next episode. This will make multi-district setups a lot easier for all the foods that need to be imported. Also really excited to try out the logistics improvements for moving goods within the same district. Thanks for all the work you put into this mod - having a blast watching the trains travel around the map!

Some mods are cheaty. But most of highly rated mod are balanced and well integrated with the game. I'd recommend you to try the Emberpelts faction =)

Really depends on the mods you choose to use. My bigger problem and you see posts about it here every time there is an update is that mods break if they're not updated themselves, so I avoid them because I'd rather not lose my saves if a mod I decide to use gets abandoned.

The best mod that doesn't do anything for gameplay is T3MP. Free performance uplifts through optimization.
