Changelog

0.2.7

• Replaced route-lock/forced-position follower logic with a virtual-hand towing model.
• The rear of Scout/Hauler now acts like a player holding the first cart.
• Only the cart receives towing force; the locomotive is never moved or rotated by the addon.
• Force is applied at the selected end of the cart so it naturally steers behind the vehicle.
• Added strong vertical-force limiting to avoid lifting/scooping the vehicle.
• Confirmed Scout coupling, Hauler coupling, persistent connection, and manual Shift+X detach in runtime testing.

0.2.6

• Experimental recorded-route follower. Superseded by 0.2.7.

0.2.5

• Fixed accidental immediate detach behavior.
• Changed manual detach to Left Shift + X.
• Added explicit detach reasons and Rigidbody reacquisition.

0.2.4

• Added persistent first-cart assignment, coupling grace period, and a larger emergency breakaway distance.

0.2.3

• Removed expensive scene searches from the physics loop.
• Added cached discovery/dimensions and cheaper follower checks.

0.2.2

• First successfully compiled build against supplied R.E.P.O. and CartTrain assemblies.

0.2.0

• Reworked project as a CartTrain companion addon.

0.1.0
