+===== Feature removal =====
+Some features have been removed/not implemented yet from MTR 3, notably:
+  * Resource packs which relies on "scripting" feature from **Nemo Transit Expansion** does not work at the moment.
+  * The single-arrival Vertical PIDS does not work, and would still show arrivals across multiple rows.
+  * Manual driving has been removed entirely as it is in need of a major overhaul rather than simply ported over. The **Driver key** is now hidden from the creative menu.
 ===== Migration from MTR 3 =====

 Please note that there are some artifacts after upgrading, which is listed below:
-  * **MTR 4 currently does not work with Sodium on 1.19.4, consider upgrading to a newer Minecraft version if you would like to upgrade.**
+  * **MTR 4 currently have compatibility issues with Sodium v0.4.9 & v0.4.10. Consider using other versions (Note that Minecraft 1.19.4 only offers v0.4.10, you would need to update to a newer Minecraft version in that case)**
-  * **Lift/Elevator Display Panel** may be displayed incorrectly. You need to break and place it again.
+  * **Lift/Elevator Display Panel** may be displayed incorrectly. This is a one-time migration issue, you would need to break and place it again.
   * As trains now more accurately simulate bogie position, **train may clip through tight tunnels/bridges built for MTR 3**. These structures may have to be rebuilt/modified to accommodate for the new train movement in MTR 4.
-  * Rail model configured with the Nemo Transit Expansion (NTE) would be flipped to the opposite side. You will need to flip again for asymmetric rail model.
   * Trains now speed-up/reduce dwell time automatically if it's running late. You can turn this off per-siding to restore the behavior in MTR 3. (Where train runs the same speed regardless of schedule)
-  * New versions of various MTR addons may have made changes which breaks blocks built in MTR 3.
+  * New version of various MTR addons may have made breaking changes, please check the respective addon page for details.
 ===== Addon Compatibility =====
-Due to the major backend rewrite, most if not all addons depending on the MTR Mod needs to be updated. A non-exhaustive list of addons can be found [[mtr_addon:start|here]], with MTR 3/4 tags appropriately applied to them.

 Highly popular addons such as [[mtr_addon:lu:start|The Tube]] and [[mtr_addon:jcm:start|Joban Client Mod]] should already be available for MTR 4, with the exception of [[mtr_addon:nte:start|Nemo's Transit Expansion]], where much of the feature is already incorporated to the MTR Mod.
