About this mod Author’s original text
The Transporter
A steam wagon that follows you, hauls cargo, and keeps a driver in the seat. It climbs with the ground, burns coal or wood from its own boiler, and lights the road when you want it to.
Features
- Follows you or stays parked. Front wheels steer, and the wheels roll with the wagon's speed.
- 32-slot cargo hold.
- Separate boiler. Coal, wood, and surtling cores feed it. Smoke on the stack thickens while it is moving.
- Amber headlights and a tail lamp. Auto while the boiler has fuel, or force them off or always on.
- Seated driver with head tracking and courier lines.
- Live tuning page at

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
