🚢 Overview
Little Logistics is designed around simple, scalable automation. It avoids complex setup while still enabling powerful transport systems.
This guide does not cover recipes — use JEI or similar mods.

Small, modular trains for land-based transport:
- Link locomotives + cars

❓ FAQ

- Skip normal world ticking
- Only vehicles are processed
