Why write new train code when NPC code do trick?

[–] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

It's probably that a designer would have to ask a programmer to create scripting features to make a train work.

Or the could get the job done by using what they had instead of having to wait for someone else to write new code.
