Trains of the Rim
Higher tech-level trains and railway infrastructure
This is already seriously impressive, especially for how new it is - but, since this IS Rimworld after all, what're the odds of the mod eventually including more-sophisticated and unusual high-Industrial and Spacer-tech trains, rails, and related shenanigans? A few possibilities that occurred to me off the top of my head:

[only enabled if VFE - Power and/or Rimatomics is installed] High Industrial-tech nuclear-electric rail engine, powered by a miniature internal fission reactor and steam turbine. Steep upfront manufacturing cost, but comparatively low moment-to-moment maintenance due to how long uranium fuel lasts, and can haul a very large/heavy load of railcars.

Some sort of pure-electric locomotive that depends on a new rail type with integrated power feed, requiring at least one tile of the rail network to be in a tile that has power generation infrastructure and has a power conduit feeding into a special power input machine next to the physical position of the rails or somesuch. Probably best suited to use on routes that are going to see a lot of frequent rail travel along them.

Spacer-tech counterpart to the above - an electromagnetic hover-train, which of course requires a new "magnarail" railway type that also needs power like the regular electric rails. Probably way the hell faster than you'll ever practically need, but potentially more useful with certain other mods.

Here wanna suggest self rail building train for industrial and spacer tech

I got feeling i hear or saw of this train that build rail for itself somewhere. Might be movie or something soo I wish for Rimworld sci fi game like this to have it.

How it work
first player gotto make railway for it to station on first then cargo for all materials then let it going out to next tile. Once it on next tile it will spend time building there whatever per day it is and keep going to player chosen location! once it out of material or about to out of fuel it should auto turn back to base.

Industrial train build at regular speed and spacer build and travel and fuel efficient stuff
