Introduction
Acceleration is the rate at which trains speed up or slow down. This is an important metric when launching or stopping trains. TrainCarts supports various ways of specifying acceleration in both metric and imperial units.
As a base unit TrainCarts uses blocks/tick2 This can be understood as: Increase the speed by <value> blocks/tick every tick. A single tick is 1/20 second. All units are case-insensitive. Some mix-matching of units is possible, for example, you can use 20m/hh even though it is not listed.
Syntax
| Input | blocks/tick2 | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 0.2 0.2/tt |
0.2 | When no unit is specified, the value is in blocks/tick2 |
| 20m/ss 20/ss 20/s2 20/s/s |
0.05 | Unit in blocks/second2 (or m/s2). Can be specified with 2x s, or s2. The m before the unit is optional. |
| 30km/h/s 30kmh/s 30kmph/s |
0.020833 | Unit in kilometers/hour per second. Can be specified as km/h, kmh or kmph. |
| 3.28ft/s/s 3.28ft/ss |
0.0025 | Unit in feet/second2 |
| 1.0mi/h/s 1.0mph/s |
0.0011176 | Unit in miles/hour per second. mi/h can be specified as mph. |
| 1.5G | 0.0367875 | Unit based on G-forces. 1G is assumed to be 9.81m/s2 |
