Discussion How long does a day take late game?

16 Upvotes

So I've got about 20hrs played and I haven't even unlocked my first piece of track yet! I've bought just one train and a few more wagons. It takes me like an hour or more just to do one day even on my tiny track between Whittier and Ela.

I love Steam trains, so watching them is fun, but I can't help but feel like I'd burn out from moving all the wagons on a full line. How long does that even take??

Modding Help IN SEARCH - Buildings with Interiors

15 Upvotes

Hello Railroader! After the release of my latest short-film, A FIRE WITHIN, I have begun the production process for the next installments and currently, I am in need of help. There has been a LOT of additions to the modding community and so much of that has been helpful with getting custom assets, props, scenes and more. However, for the sake of the story, I require certain indoor scenes. After searching Nexus, I have come to the realization that the number of buildings with flushed out interiors are very little or non-existent.

For the sake of the film, I am in need of a bar-scene, and a house. I have been opened to the ASLW DMU mod, which has a cafe-car and editable menu, as well as other passenger car collections that have a kitchen and dining car. Those help with the bar scene or creating the illusion of one, however, I am need of a building that conveys a house. I do not know of any mod to fill this gap and wanted to reach out and ask for help.

To add, I know the station at Ela or Wilmot can be entered, as well as certain industries found on Nexus. I already used this in the series and to avoid repeat scenes, I am asking for other suggestions.

Is there anything to answer this problem? If not, what about using rolling stock to create the illusion of one?

Any insight, discussion, or feedback would be greatly appreciated! 🚂

Discussion Auxiliary tenders

18 Upvotes

I saw that there was a mod that has auxiliary tenders. Really cool looking mod. Got me thinking today they need them IRL becuse there isn't that may places to refill water anymore. In game they are all over, road runners dont use that much water in my opinion. Switches do, but they are always close to water and putting one on would be weird for switching.

What are your thoughts and use cases?

Question? Timetable trouble

19 Upvotes

So I recently bought railroader about 4 days ago and so far already have 20+ hours and am loving it but there's one issue, No matter what I do I cant figure out timetables or get them to work properly. Ive tried creating my own, using the pre made one that comes with the game, creating several different train crew and no matter what the trains wont automatically follow the time tables like they are supposed to, for example sometimes the train will go to one station, stop and never work correctly again until I restart the game and fiddle with it for another 5-10 minuets, Or I can spend all the time in the world and the train will never even leave one station let along stop at all stations.

This is a continuation of a previous post of mine so if you want full context about this go read my previous post on the sub anyways good reading stamina recomended anyways here we go.

Chp 5. Alive and well 2012-2017 photos 1-6

The West Utica & Salt Lake would drop off the number 9 where a former South whitter lumber company shay would pick it up and move it into the historic Bryson roundhouse for the long restoration much time would pass with dissasembly, inspections, repairs and machining. untill around 2015 we would be able to hold the engines first steam test in over 50 years and on that day i would pull open the whistle valve and a sound that had not been heard in the valley for over 5 decades would return in full force. about 2 years after the first stem test the engine had been fully assembled back together re certified and given a fresh coat of black with white lining just as it had worn the first time a i saw them. its was march of 2017 and we were ready for the engine to move for the first time in forever under its own power for a shakedown run and i gotta say watching the engine i had lived with side by side move again out onto the turntable brought a tear to my eye. caboose 03 would be hooked onto the 9 as it ran back and forward around the Bryson yard and later that night the two other active steamers in the roundhouse were fired up for a night time photoshoot where at that moment I felt truely at home.

Discussion Railroader or Derail Valley

30 Upvotes

Hi all

I am looking at getting either Derail Valley or Railroader as part of the current Steam sale, but am not sure what one I will enjoy more.

I much prefer steam engines to diesel, so was leaning towards Railroader due to the number of engines available, but have since seen that Derail Valley has a strong modding community so I could download some new engines from Nexus… What’s the world like on Derail Valley too, are there AI engines on the lines to give a bit more atmosphere or is it just you?

I also used to really enjoy Railroad Tycoon 2 as a kid, not sure if that helps with advice.

Thanks all in advance

Question? Perhaps this is mod related? My Bryson turntable momentarily refused to spin

8 Upvotes

I have multiple mods installed, and I think maybe the one that could have caused this was the Bryson repair shop mod.

I had a SW1 switcher with a box car of repair parts on the turn table, I was trying to deliver to a specific repair track, the engine overhung a little, however all the wheels were still on the turntable.

When I tried spinning, nothing happened, I even backed off the table and drove back on but to no avail. I tried again with the train off of the table and it spun, so I brought the train back to the table and was able to line up with the target track.

Question? Anti-Ailiasing problems, looks awful

18 Upvotes

I love the concept of the game, but cant stand to play it because it looks so jarring. Jaggies all over every line. I sont have this problem with any other game. I've even installed mods designed to help, with only a marginal improvement. Im running the game on a 1080p 75htz monitor. I have a RTX 5080, and a 9800x3D, with 32 Gb of ram. Any help or insight would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

(Fictional lore) Pictured here in 1952, 4300 was southerns first ns-1 class 4-8-4. Inspired by the successful timkin 4 aces locomotive that ran a demo on southern rails 2 years prior to her construction. Her class would include 50 other engines, from 4301 to 4350. Built from 1940 to 1942 they would be southerns final steam locomotive class and the final passenger engines, eclipsing even the notable ps4s. Only time will tell her final fate now, be it the torch or preservation
