Community Freight Train Requirements

Community freight trains need to adhere to a few strict requirements. Item trains need to have an item interface 16 blocks behind the station location marker on the centerline.

Freight trains can be longer than just a loading car, up to 64 blocks long. They are assumed to be locomotive+storage car+cosmetic car(s). What matters is the location of the item/fluid interface and that there be no additional interfaces along the bottom centerline. Interfaces on the bottom to either side, on the sides, and on the top are all available to the player to use for unloading.

Lava trains are similar in design with a fluid interface 16 blocks behind the station location marker on the centerline, but can have an additional interface two blocks before and after to speed up car loading. A second interface on another car 12 blocks behind the front required interface can also be used, as well as additional interfaces two blocks before and after it. The only required interface is the one 16 blocks behind the station marker. All others are optional.
