I understand that I'm supposed to separate suggestions and not put them into one discussion, but I put these three together because they're all related to the SW Automatic Tram addon if that makes sense.

Now these ideas may seem a bit over the top but I feel like they could a tad more variety, functionality, and some new customization features within the addon.


1. Slow Down Time Console Command.

I have read the pinned instructions discussion for the Automatic Tram before making this idea. The Slow Down Time Console Command allows you to change how long it takes for the tram to come to a complete stop. For example, the default time it takes for the tram to stop is 2 seconds. This command can change that time from 2 seconds to 10 seconds for example. When set to 10 seonds, the tram will slow down slower and will take around 10 seconds to come to a complete stop.


2a. Tram variant with door at the back.
2b. Un-powered tram coach car variant with doors on each end.

This idea is split into two because it's two separate wagons. The Tram with door at the back looks similar to the normal tram, as it still retains the normal front design on one end, but this time it doesn't come with a second front design on the other end. Instead, that other end is replaced with a flat wall with a door in the middle that can be opened. This allows passengers to traverse to the back of the train and go outside. This feature only comes in handy with the second half of this idea, the un-powered tram coach car. The Un-powered tram coach car variant has no cabs on either side, with both sides replaced with flat walls with functioning doors in the middle. The cars are not automatic and cannot be powered, and must be pulled by either the default automatic tram or the back door tram variant. Putting these coach cars with the back door tram variant gives full mobility for passengers to traverse through the train without having to be stuck in one car only.


3. Pair Mode/Tool

Now please forgive me because this idea was a little tricky to put into words.

As I was coming up with suggestions 2a and 2b, this third idea came to mind. If there were to be a sign that tells a tram with back door variant to go backwards for example, it wouldn't respond to it due to it not having a rear cab, allowing it to keep moving forward. This idea solves that issue. If two back door tram variants were coupled together, this tool allows you to pair them into one locomotive so to speak. For example, a back door variant has detected a sign that is asking it to go backwards. If it doesn't have a second tram coupled to it to pair up to, it won't respond to that sign and it'll just keep going forward. However, if it does have a second back door variant coupled at the back, then the pair tool can be used to pair them into one locomotive so to speak. Now that they're paired, when they detect a sign that tells it to go the other way, it'll switch to the rear tram so that it can go backwards. This essentially turns the tram into a push pull configuration. This tool will also be able to work if there are un-powered tram coach cars coupled in the middle of train, and it can also work for the default trams as well if they're coupled together into a big train, pairing up the front and rear trams for a push pull configuration.
