As before, the speed of the carts is also influenced by power rails. Brake rails are irrelevant, the cart does not brake here. The maximum speed is 8 m/s. This assumes a ratio of power rails to normal rails of 1 to 4 on a flat section of rail. A rail section is a series of rail nodes without a change of direction. After every curve / kink, the speed for the next section of the route is newly determined, taking into account the swing of the cart. This means that a cart can roll over short rail sections without power rails. In order to additionally brake the cart at certain points (at switches or in front of a buffer), speed limit signs can be placed on the track. With these signs the speed can be reduced to 4, 2, or 1 m / s. The "No speed limit" sign can be used to remove the speed limit. The speed limit signs must be placed next to the track so that they can be read from the cart. This allows different speeds in each direction of travel.]]) local function formspec(data) if data.image then local image = "image["..(doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_WIDTH - 3)..",0;3,2;"..data.image.."]" local formstring = doc.widgets.text(data.text, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_START_X, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_START_Y+1.6, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_WIDTH, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_HEIGHT - 1.6) return image..formstring elseif data.item then local box = "box["..(doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_WIDTH - 1.6)..",0;1,1.1;#BBBBBB]" local image = "item_image["..(doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_WIDTH - 1.5)..",0.1;1,1;"..data.item.."]" local formstring = doc.widgets.text(data.text, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_START_X, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_START_Y+0.8, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_WIDTH, doc.FORMSPEC.ENTRY_HEIGHT - 0.8) return box..image..formstring else return doc.entry_builders.text(data.text) end end doc.add_category("minecart", { name = S("Minecart"), description = S("Minecart, the lean railway transportation automation system"), sorting = "custom", sorting_data = {"summary", "cart"}, build_formspec = formspec, }) doc.add_entry("minecart", "summary", { name = S("Summary"), data = {text=summary_doc, image="minecart_doc_image.png"}, }) doc.add_entry("minecart", "cart", { name = S("Minecart Cart"), data = {text=cart_doc, item="minecart:cart"}, }) doc.add_entry("minecart", "buffer", { name = S("Minecart Railway Buffer"), data = {text=buffer_doc, item="minecart:buffer"}, }) doc.add_entry("minecart", "landmark", { name = S("Minecart Landmark"), data = {text = landmark_doc, item="minecart:landmark"}, }) doc.add_entry("minecart", "speed signs", { name = S("Minecart Speed Signs"), data = {text = speed_doc, item="minecart:speed4"}, }) doc.add_entry("minecart", "cart pusher", { name = S("Cart Pusher"), data = {text = pusher_doc, item="minecart:cart_pusher"}, }) if minecart.hopper_enabled then doc.add_entry("minecart", "hopper", { name = S("Minecart Hopper"), data = {text=hopper_doc, item="minecart:hopper"}, }) end
