📋 About This Mod
PhysX Simulation Rework
Enhanced Rail Physics & RealismPhysX Simulation Rework
enhances realism in Derail Valley by reworking several core simulation systems.
The mod focuses on turntable behavior, brake pipe physics, and coupler failure mechanics,
introducing configurable, physics-based logic inspired by real railway operations.
All features are fully optional and configurable via the mod settings.
Enable Turntable Modifications = Enables the complete turntable rework. When disabled, the game behaves exactly like vanilla.
Rotation Speed Multiplier = Adjusts the rotation speed of turntables.
Track Detection = Controls how precisely the turntable must be aligned before snapping to a connected track.
0° = No Detection (Disables automatic track detection completely)
10°–170° = Turntable snaps only if a track is detected within the given angular tolerance.
180° = Detect Next Track (Always snaps to the next track in the current rotation direction)
Push-to-Detect = Allows track detection while the turntable is being pushed by Player
Turntable Warning Sound = Selects the audible warning played while the turntable is rotating.
Brake Pipe Settings = Simulates real-world brake pipe behavior when angle cocks are misconfigured.
Enable Coupler Failures = Activates the complete coupler failure system. When disabled, all couplers behave like vanilla.
Tensile Force Limit (kN) = Defines the physical force threshold at which a coupler can break under load.
Dynamic Derailment Risk = Derailment increases based on vehicle damage and speed.
Derailed Dust Effects = Added dust and drag particle effects when derailed vehicles dragged over trackbed.
PhysX SimulationRework enhances Derail Valley realism by overhauling turntable behavior, brake pipe venting, and coupler physics. It adds configurable turntable snapping, warning sounds, realistic air brake behavior, and PhysX-based improvements. A niche gameplay mod with 25 endorsements and 2,460 downloads, last updated July 2026.
