Видео

Can't remember if I've shown it on video (might be why you mention it) but I've also changed the time to 1-1 and have left it there. Running in day for video is far better

​@@bluewizardstill can't get the auto break/couple mod to work either.

Use this: github.com/rmroc451/TweaksAndThings/releases Latest version In next weeks videos it won't be working as I was recording when the games were being updated and it broke lots of things. It is working now.

I enjoyed using it. I've said to others that I think there shouldn't be a free version and to lower the price of the paid version. I think the dev would make more money in the long term doing that. But as is, if you're using it enough and are happy with the price then helping the dev by upgrading is a very good thing. This is German software so like EEP which is also German it does seem to more favour continental European locos. It's a pity for both as a wider selection would help to sell them. You would likely need to look at something like Trainz if you did want a greater selection.

Great advice. Absolutely

Makes a change doesn't it lol

Still only using the one depot for repairs but might start using Alarka if I leave an engine down there in the future. But coal... Yes... As many locations as possible.

Taking coal to a new location straight away is a good idea. I don't have enough locos though to leave one in each area so whatever loco is heading that way has to do the job. The lack of locos will also make for some interesting consists in the upcoming episodes. Hopefully this will get rectified at some point

@bluewizard felt that I was really struggling there for a second I didn't unlock the red marble grade for probably about a week and a half in game and just kept building up my inventory of locos and making sure all my industries I had going were serviced

My constraint here is that I'm making a video of me playing. 3 videos = 1 day. The total playtime for the day is 5-6 hours. I then spend another 2-3 hours editing. It pretty much takes an entire real life day to make the 3 episodes. 3 episodes then go out per week so it's a number of weeks before I can get enough money to proceed so when I do get money I have to use it wisely. Sometimes its used for a new loco but mostly it's used to expand the area as I think that makes for a better video.

@bluewizard I gotcha, I was thinking about livestreaming and playing the game like 6 hours 4 times a week for 1 in game day - or - OR - play it 24 hours straight

Harder but simpler also. Less things to think about.

To be honest I just tried to use a colour similar to my logo and website colour which I've used for years. It does look like a deep sea blue now you mention it. Good choice of colour if that's what you're using 😁

@@bluewizard Hah. Thanks. I was trying for that dark blue the U.S. Navy painted their planes in the 50s and when I got a color sheet of variations ended up using something slightly lighter.

Needs some optimisation but has potential

Yes... Recording 4 videos (about 7hrs recording) in a day is maybe not a great idea. And having a time limit when the last video must be recorded by was certainly the final nail. Rushing whilst tired.. well mistakes happened.

Glad you like the video. I see that you got to go in the cab. It was so busy when I went that I couldn't get in. The best video is on their own channel. Very professionally filmed. www.youtube.com/@SetesdalsbanensVenner/featured

I copped out a used keyboard controls quite a bit on this vid. Even so still made a mistake lol

Ah... Didn't know that 👍

No.. after installing it all worked. Difficult to know why it's not for you. Obviously make sure you've got the latest version of Railloader. It doesn't say you need Strange Customs but if you don't have it you could try adding it. The issue could be a conflict with another mod perhaps. In your game folder there is a folder called mods, if you remove any sub folder from here the mod in that sub folder will be removed. You could try removing other mods and then try it to see if it then works. You can place the sub folders back into the mods folder and that mod will be readded, so if you remove a mod it doesn't have to be a permanent action. Good luck

@@bluewizard only other thing I have is map enhancer. I could try removing it but I'll try

Yeah i have the same issue. I'm getting the mph readout on the wagons, but no coupling or break mods running :(

The games just been updated so this might be causing issues. I'll be recording the next set of 3 eps later so will see if it's still working.

There's another mod that has the buttons github.com/rmroc451/TweaksAndThings/releases It's just been updated and is working.

Cheers

Yes absolutely. You'll see other moving trains. Some are placed purposely and some are random. It depends on what's set on that session. AI trains can make you late though by blocking junctions and the game currently doesn't take this into account wit your score I do know that scores are being looked at some hopefully this changes in the future.

Indeed an interesting watch. The exit poll was pretty accurate. As for the score.. Oh well lol.

Yes fun game. The mod support extends the game and as the game matures it can only get better.

The game slightly simplifies the controls but it does give an impression of how physical driving a train was. I do like the simplicity though. Irl today I sat on a train which couldn't leave the platform because it's CCTV for the doors had failed. The driver said he had to get control over the radio to reset the train remotely before it would work again. Took a good 15mins to reset everything and get going. In the old days there would be a guard to check the doors or large mirrors that the driver could look at pointing down the platform so he could see the doors. It's great having the technology but when it fails it would be nice to have a fallback to use.

I think this might be a Linux issue. I'm currently recording on Linux as I want to evaluate the experience for a possibly future video. I think this is a bug that Steams Proton has with Unity. I've also had crashes on this and Railroader that both are Unity games. I've seen the shadow issue in various routes on the game. Hopefully I'll find a work around for the issues but if not I'm dual booting so can always record in windows if and when needed

I try to do the video differently each time I do a sale video this time concentrating on the price history. It's only a few months between sales and I end up feeling that I'm repeating myself if I do it the same each time. If you do want to learn about the games I have videos for nearly all of them on the channel. Theres a first look section on the channel home page.

TF2s a great game, highly recommended. Enjoy.

Yes, just buy deluxe edition you got dlc, i just bought yesterday

I might stay up and watch some of it at least. The polls say Labour are going to get the biggest majority since the 1800s. The conservatives didn't even exist then.

@@bluewizard Yes, I don't know how accurate the polls are, I suspect the exit poll will be quite accurate. I think I will get up around 5am, which is an hour earlier than usual and is 11pm UK time.

@@bluewizard Labour did not exist then (formed early 20th century), Conservatives did (formed 1834- first UK party). Great video.

The hills did at least make it slightly more challenging

Haha... I do that all the time and realise later.

Yeah... Everything will ground to a halt if you don't

7... crikey! They're not cheap lol

@bluewizard oh yea definitely, I've been grinding sylva paperboard and parsons tannery tier 5 contracts, I have about 80 pulp wood cars that I switch out in 20s that way it's constantly full with pulpwood

Switching cars is a good idea. Something to think about.

@bluewizard I usually us the double track in the sylva yard that separates the 2 industries as a holding track for all the pulpwood cars. As far as sylva interchange goes I throw the sylva cars down a siding and then everything from the interchange I shuttle to dillsboro for switching. Is there a way to sell pulpwood/lumber to the interchange ? I remember hearing something about it in the update notes but I think it has to go through the saw mill or something

I just had a look but can't see anything on the updates for pulp wood wood. The nearest mention I can see is for wood chips at Whittier. Whittier Saw Mill now takes gondola cars for wood chip export Interesting what you're doing at Sylvia. Not sure if doing that would fit into my workflow. I tend to keep it as simple as possible so I can fit one day into 3 eps. But at some point I'll extend down that way. Is there anything at Sylvia that could be semi automated like I do with the logs at Whittier?

Cheers... Will do it in Bryson
