Create: Maintenance Control

A Create addon introducing maintenance mechanics. Allows Train Stations to be temporarily disabled, making trains skip them without modifying any train schedules.
Train Stations can be temporarily taken out of service while the rest of the railway network continues operating normally. Trains automatically skip stations marked with a Maintenance Box.

Description

🛠️ Create: Maintenance Control

Logotype

Create: Maintenance Control is a small addon for Create that introduces maintenance mechanics to your train networks.

🛠️ Dependencies

  • This mod requires Create
  • Using a recipe viewer such as JEI or EMI is recommended

🔎 Features

Maintenance Box block

The Maintenance Box block can be placed next to a Train Station block to mark it as being under maintenance.

Without Maintenance Boxes, the train will drive as usual and stop by at every station in its scheduleWhen Maintenance Boxes are placed, the train will skip those stations

While maintenance is active:

  • trains will skip that station instead of stopping there
  • train schedules do not need to be edited manually
  • redstone can be used to temporarily disable the maintenance effect

Example use cases

  • Temporarily closing a platform during rebuilding
  • Skipping a station during track work
  • Toggling maintenance with redstone for operational events

Current behaviour / limitations

  • If a disabled station is a terminus, trains may encounter route errors unless the network allows them to pathfind from the previous stop to the next scheduled one.
    • This is currently the intended behavior rather than a bug/limitation.
  • The mod currently focuses on skipping maintenance-marked stations rather than rerouting trains to alternative destinations. More advanced routing behaviour may be explored in future updates.
  • Best results are achieved on networks where trains can still pathfind from the previous stop to the next one.

  • Sable (MC 1.21.1)
  • Create Railways Navigator
  • Steam 'n' Rails

📌 Planned

Maintenance Box GUI

Planned options include:

  • a station name filter field
  • a redstone behavior toggle (powered = maintenance / unpowered = maintenance)
  • a "Skip unreachable downstream stations" toggle for more advanced network layouts

Documentation / Usability

  • a Ponder scene for the Maintenance Box
  • expanded documentation and examples on the Wiki page here on GitHub
