title: HSF todo

HSF is a huge project, and as such, here is a list of things that need to happen, in chronological order:

# Read the code. All of it. Understand each 10 lines!
# Remove stuff:
#* All signals apart from  demo signals (for undertrack signalling)
#* TCB models - make them blocks
#* Support for  existing trains
#* All cargo train related stuff
# Modify Existing Stuff:
#* Make trains go at a configurable speed, set to between 20 and 300 m/s (64 m/s is the default due to that being the minimum speed for high speed rail, but being high for minetest) (bugs may occur at higher speeds)
#* Broaden tracks
#* Force demo signals to be 4-6 blocks above or directly below track
#* Change textures to use concrete sleepers
#* Change everything to fit in with HSF - node names, global variables, and other Advtrains stuff.
# Add stuff
#* New European trains
#* Require a material of the same group as stone as ballast - hard and strong. Send a message of "you need different ballast" if players try to build tracks on wrong ballast
#* Force sections to be a certain length for target speeds. Formula: speed allowed (has to be <= max speed) = max speed*(max speed/(length*10))
#* Make curved tracks have a max speed of 90% of max speed.
#* Write a wiki
