Lol thanks I guess
Bump. I took screenshots last night but forgot to upload
Idk why I didn’t think of that
thank you lol
I'll revive this
Spaghetti (Station entrance)
For context there was 2 main line that was merging into a 6 platform 10 track station with 2 track serving as bypass track for one of the main line
Yea it ended up like this XD
nor a road fan either lol
If I'm showing you the whole thing it looks smth like this
Ty!
I just used Advanced Town building to toss in few big cities
I love the ending station, looks neat!
Nice railyard
Have fun placing all the asset wagons XD
Rip, hope you had autosave on tho
I'm not exactly familiar with European trains or locomotives, but it certainly looks neat
Ah, I see
Would've know it better if I had been to Europe, probably will in the future!
Ohhh
Interesting, I'll remember that
Prior to this I only knew the ICE series XD
- Golub-Dobrzyń
Bridge.
Imo, looks pretty fire
You might need a bridge to connect one side of the town to the other, unless there's one off screen that I can't see XD
ah, I see
Good idea, don't burn your ram.
oo, what bus station is that, looks nice
ty!!
I think I made a mistake when starting my project
I turned no AI cars on, thought it would be a good idea since I'm not trying to play Cities Skyline, turns out I could've just fixed it with good public transit XD.
Looks fine to me lol
Alr, lemme find it
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2144967111
It doesn't automatically disable car to pre-existing cities, but any new cities after turning on the mod will have AI cars disabled
yea, unfortunate :(
I love this!
Hey, at least that junction didn't turn out to be the spaghetti I created

For the time being, a old picture
I dunno what you mean

Oh nice asphalt colors
Haha
Yikes 😬
How
Glitch or mod?
😭
They need to make a anarchy mod
No i dont
@trim prism how do i claim that?

wdym all?
are there more?
ah
the supporter pack was automatically added with the deluxe pack

oh! good that i purchased now
No shitposting
Nice 🙂
4 main line merging into 1 station XDDD
Your stations really hits hard
My current plan on my railway project... lotta work, and I haven't made much progress lol.
Side note: I haven't figured out depot locations yet, that's for later when I build each stations
Make suggestions on this plan, if you will 🙏
Think I've seen that on the steam workshop, I'll grab it as soon as I get my new ram installed
I have 16GB rn, but I thought 32gb would make my computer easier
Dam.
Yea I need to ramp my Ram up on my computer, sometimes the usage gets easily up to 70%
xD
(Probably why my CSL save keeps crashing lol
Cya, ima sleep (it's 2am for me lol
Unfinished station
Well, it's needed when you have 3 HSR + 1 intercity line entering and exiting the station
For context, it's this station right here
thx, it helps a lot when I build.... pretty much everything rail related lol
Weird station layout lol
Really like it. What mods are u using to make these stations. Dont remember these in vanilla 
So I was at least with that correct 
P opens the menu or does it do smth special?
Yea there is quite a decent amount of mods used here. (Idk if they offer English translation or not lol)
For the ground station:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850242657 (Modular Chinese station, allows basic station layout & decoration)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2851005144 (The entire CRST pack containing bunch of station main building up to your choice, choose which you like ig lol)
For the elevated station:

For the tracks used:

nice thanks :)

Huge Train yard
Size doesn't matter

exactly, what matters is what's inside
Ehhh I believe the people are keep up with the train and hop on while it's moving (totally)
Not a problem
Left side is normal train railyard, right side with the concrete tracks are the highspeed trains railyard
Laying all the assets were a pain (literally 2 hours of work) (I wish the mod that allows you to lay train assets allows you to search for the one you want)
Especially if you select something you've never selected before, that lag spike is just... huge
also I wish the game would be smarter with Catenary things, it's annoying to see them disapear ot noclipping
oh? like a script mod? I could use that
I have those but unfortunately I use completely different tracks than vanilla, but at least the placable masts helps me make them look slightly better
can't go wrong with a lotta of tracks
Honestly, would be a really good idea!
is that a cargo station?
currently attempting to connect every industry with every industry (if it has stuff that can be delivered there, there is a route) using truck lines
its already becoming chaos, and i've only connected every quarry with every construction materials factory
also game just crashed, internal error
if i reload, should i start with another industry type? or should i wait for the stone trucks to all get out of the depot and in their routes?
doing this on my low end pc
8 GB
i meant connecting every quarry to every stone construction plant, and doing that for every industry
so its not like one quarry goes to one stone plant, each and every quarry delivers to every factory
which is basically pain for me, bc i have to manually place a million lines and make sure they all have the right amount of trucks
setting up all the tracks and making sure the tracks dont gridlock is a pain, if your doing it for what i'm trying to do
i think theres over 100 factories, total, so there would be like 2000 cargo trains
(each factory goes to each other factory)
i'm already at 25 lines, for connecting 5 stone quarries with 5 brick factories
and theres industry types with more than 10 of them, and for each extra factory, the number of lines increases by A LOT
heck i already got 350 trucks, for these lines alone
so that means 25-30 cargo trains
even if i had 1 train per line, i would already need 25 of them
for only this
i'm only 5% there, this is only for one resource
oils, ores, and grains will be the biggest pains of all
theres more of them
you need to do (factories)² for the lines per resource
mathemathically, it shouldnt make a difference if you do it the efficient way, or this way, since in both cases, all of the cargo gets delivered. but for me, instead of each factory getting its own producer, each factory gets a share of all the producers, so the only thing i'm achieving here is a logistical nightmare
its like instead of giving 8 people one whole pizza each, your giving each of them one slice from each pizza
to put it simply
well, i need 50 lines for grain -> food plant alone
so that would bring me up to 75 lines, and i will only have delivered grain and stone
looks nice
whats it for? a run up to a station? or a train yard?
yeah
maybe put some debris and random crap in there, bc i think we all know those places are never 100% clean
i find track 7 (from the right) is a bit weird, maybe have it connect with the track to the left, instead of turning to the right before turning left
no, four tracks to the left of that
yes
me neither, but it turning one direction before turning the other seems weird
maybe this'l look better
also maybe use surface painter to paint gravel in between the tracks, bc the grass growing there in some spots is a bit too green
and maybe some boxes and broken crates
or you can use dirt in some areas, and ballast in other
like for big areas, dirt?
and small, ballast
yellow: dirt, maroon: ballast
the left dirt spot maybe a bit bigger, and the right edge of it maybe not so straight, more like the left edge
blue: a bit too clean for edges
?
ik, but do it like the other edge
you can use the "ballast" paint tool under the tracks, and create a overflowing transition
(its not the "curb" thats off, its the instant dirt that should be replaced with ground level ballast transitioning into ballast
yeah, although a touch less
nvm thats ok
also, for the dip, you can use trackless ballast rails (rails with no rails) and place them alongside other tracks (so that they clip into the real rails)
full lines are parallel tracks to the dotted lines
if you do make them parallel, and you have "build with collission" you can parallel them to tracks, so they also clip to other tracks
DO NOT have the ballast connect to the tracks like a node, bc that creates weird rails
and dont use catenaries, unless you want a cable forest
i think theres parallel tools which may make it easier
lol just saying
with the vanilla, what i do is i create stubs that are parallel to the track i want it parallel, on both ends, and just connect them
if both ends are parallel to the same track, the entire thing is parallel
that one could be preparing to leave
maybe turn it around
how did you get it there in the first place?
do both ends have red lights?
can you replace that specific vechicle with a front end one?
with white lights?
whats the red lights then?
welp
their testing the lights
maybe put one or two mechanics, and toolboxes around the front end of it
theres some workers in here
back right of that image
as long as the person looks like they might belong, its ok
on another topic, i have been working on my "real" save (actually trying to do something right, not messing around), and as i'm placing the rails near one of the towns, i have the feeling theres too many different rails and bridges going over and thru that town
but idk what to do about it
cant show ss rn, bc i dont have the game open, but next time i play, i'l show
yeah
maybe some tools
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2906563416&searchtext=asset
ik this is prob not the style your wanting, but theres a couple of stuff in this pack that could be nice
like the ranom pallets and debris
wait nvm
palets and junk doesnt really have a style
its starting to look like a spaghetti, in my opinion
bridges going every direction
tbh, most of the towns will look like this
its bc its kind of a choke point, (everything going north passes through there) and on top of that its an important city
quick sketch, yellow highlight = bridges, black boxes : tunnels
the right blue line, to the right of that is water, and to the left of the left blue is also water
the ones like this ~~ ) - - - ( ~~
are tunnels
the bottom red dtoted line is a planned rail line
the ) ( represent tunnel entrances
its the part where the rails cross the river where its a real spaghetti
since the ones heading to the top station are very high up
debating if i should remove the massive bridge and replace it with a bypass (green), and have those trains take the newer bridge (connects to green) that i'm currently building
(right bridge crossing river)
Wait then how did you place the trains without vehicle asset builder
is there another mod or
Either way, uhhh, unfinished station ig
loading up my save
i'l show the spaghetti thats unfolding
first need it to load though
which takes ferever
tbh, i also need a real rail yard
but i need all of them
thats a lot of TGV's
i know
theres another one
another issue that i have with this region, is that up north, theres a corridor. that corridor will receive double the amount of traffic it gets now, but its already completely packed
i dont really want to widen it to a 4 track corridor, but if i have to
i'm talking rail traffic
i mean, i only am transporting to and from like half of the indurstries in that top area
also faster isnt an option yet, in this time period
1924
?
also i have sandbox mode on, which is why i'm still alive, and i didnt mess with the year
me too, so now i'm half waiting for the new mods to become available, half placing down steam stuff everywhere
photo of the bridge spaghetti
(ignore the weird terrain stuff in the left, and the unfinished cobble bridges)
yeah i'm thinking about getting rid of the front green bridge
the stone bridge under it
(as you can see, that rail line is not active yet)
those trains dont need to go up to that other bridge, i can build around it and connect further down
it has a dead end
also i could jsut send them up the other green bridge, since that also connects to both of the destinations
just unlocked a lot of trains, 1925
note to self: do NOT attempt to use early british carriages and loco's, their textures are almost all broken, and they cause internal errors
that one is broken for me
all also broken
probably
since that mod was the direct cause of this crash
all of the liveries also just show up as 100% black
also, what are these "crash" savefiles?
no
they litterally look like they have been covered with oil, theres not even a slight change in color
that raises multiple questions
like how tf does it know its going to die?
and if it saves right before the crash, the cause of the crash (here broken vechicle) is prob in it, so it will still just crash?
idk
some magic going on there
are the crash saves safe to open? i'm kind of scared of clicking them
no i'm ok
f theres no crash save for today
which theres a lot of them
good shepherd?
oh that one
GS is the publisher's server, i think
now time to wait half an hour for the save to load
i set up a coal train line and a stone train line, now its chaos for the trains to leave the depot
my depot spills out into whats arguably the busiest train area in the map
chaos thats the London North Junction
the London-Manchester-Edinburgh main railway corridor (passenger & freight), is really full, so i'm building a secondary corridor, and i'l move some of the cargo there
yes i'm playing on the UK map
old ish image, was absolute chaos here
yeah i will be redoing that area
when does the traffic light enabler tool unlock?
F
now i'm not going to start it up again, its not worth it for the amount of time i have
lol
you prob have a couple of graphical mods
i dont, bc those would kill my pc
(i'm on my lower end laptop)
i have like 200 mods enabled
most of them are trains, or stuff
Dang I only have like 78 XD
Well I couldn't find a lotta Chinese train related mods 😂
Lol
Oh wow
Try building an IRL station
Can you stack platforms on top of each other, all tunnels?
So smth like Antwerp Central isnt possible?
Images arent loading for me lol
Nvm
?
Looks like a standard bypass
If you will use them, yes
Is this possible in CSL?
If someone can make a 1:1 antwerp station that has the right track layout, i would use it
Downloading 28 GB of mods
“Reserving space” oh this is going to take forever
I have very limited time lol
Maximum 1-2 hours
Me who has no idea what those class trains are
I figured that out, but thats all i know
I guess i prob wont be playing today, then, since the game is taking forever
To download
And CSL, yeah forget that for now, untill i upgrade my pc
So hopefully i will be able to finally play tf2 today, i was thinking i should maybe start a save in the early era, but this time, no money cheats, so it will be challenging
Ill prob take a randomly generated map, but im not sure
Thats what i usually do
I will have it on, but i will try to not touch the money
Thx for the tip, will remember that
I want to actually legitimately play the game correctly, for once
Usually i have sandbox on, and when i run low, i change the balance
?
Sounds complicated
I think ill just leave it as it is, bc for me vanilla is fine, kinda
Should i use the more industry type mod (idk what its called)? Or should i not?
Like adding fish etc
Yes
waiting for money to go up takes forever in the early stages of the game ugh
i wish i could speed up the game more
should i first focus on growing my transport network, or should i focus on getting rid of the debt?
(loan)
alr thats going to take forever lol
rn i got 1 truck stone line and 1 truck brick line
all horse carriages, since its 1856
trying not to do that
maybe i should get another line going somewhere, to raise the income
i'ma hop in VC, then i can talk while i wait
its not like i have a problem, its just that it takes forever
i dont think trains are that good in early, although i could be wrong
in the time since this message i gained like 50k in profits
pretty sure i have that
its just that another mod is throwing it out of view
i meant my total money went up by 50ish k
i was looking at my "account" bottom left
just did a mega expansion
alr i'l try and streamline those
Hopefully i dont go bankrupt because of the massive lines i just did
well, my money is going down
is the stream only showing the game, or also the discord?
bruh
one minute
now?
alr not much i can do about it then
lol angled road
idk
yes
now not
neither of these are showing tf2
does your discord recognise TF2?
lol
wait now its showing the game lol, i'm in discord
maybe i have to be in the same "desktop" for it to work
lol
what does bad vechicle condition do?
you know what? no massive truck line, i'ma do a train
too late lol
going to do an ugly invisible bridge for now, bc i cant afford a better one
well, hopefully this works, bc i dont have much loan capacity left
AYY i'm making money again
still not fast enough
i'm almost at the loan max
one more loan maximum
my wallet will die
the train isnt even full length yet
i'm in the negatives again
easy
i usually am not good at the financial aspects of these types games
alr now i have 1.4 million
(train arrived)
with the small truck lines i had a small positive aspect, its bc i'm doing these mega lines that i'm having trouble
should i cheat, by adding money so i get rid of the loans, but dont gain any money?
alr
time to dissolve the loans
done
doing the multiple train thing
deleting my loans actually solved a LOT
run around train?
the in-between island is fully double railed
every 2 years, i think
iirc i'm using the UK pack
but there could be some normal ones in there
which dark sidewalks?
these?
these are normal vanilla rural roads, i think
UK roads, apparently
i can't actually place the rural ones yet
starting to mess around with ships
what happens when you send out a train on a line, and while its driving on the line, you edit the train and remove the locomotives (so you end up with a bunch of wagons with no power)?
is there a engine that provides no power?
like a spacer wagon or smth?
i once broke the mobile version of transport tycoon by doing this
stupid me messing around thinking you need a railjard in order for trains to function, and SOMEHOW i sent out a couple of freight cars with no engine, which then stopped and blocked the tracks
and i couldnt get rid of them, bc i couldnt attach an engine to them (thats what i thought i had to do), but the train did not want that, and i couldnt get the carts back into the depot to attach an engine there, since they dont move
so i lost an entire save to me messing around
no, the original transport tycoon on mobile
Build the ultimate transport empire!
Take control of your own fledgling transport company, and use your engineering skill and business acumen to keep cargo and passengers moving - and keep the money rolling in!
Transport Tycoon contains everything that made the original PC game an all-time classic…
it was long ago, idk
dont have it anymore, that was at least half a decade ago, i think
long before i found cities skylines
or tf2
i was a kid lol, i didnt know as much as i do now
i dont know how long ago it was, it could have been anywhere from 11-5 years ago
i mean, i do know i have been interested, and busy, with these type things (city building/planning - infrastructure planning - transport planning) for more than a decade
and its still my nr 1 interest
so yeah,me finding cities skylines and transport fever 2 was basically unavoidable, it was going to happen sooner or later
i'm not that great at both, i'm better at designing the infrastructure in theory, putting it into practice is harder
although i dont think ive ever really screwed up, with infra
i somehow managed to understand and succesfully play cities: skylines off the bat, no failed cities bc of me not understanding the game
i also managed not to go bankrupt, something i still cant believe
i mean, sure, i guess, although if it goes to the depot, i would make it so all station tracks can go there
still, it might be useful to allow them to go to the depot
like if the hst line is blocked, and the train cant get to the depot its intended for, it can temporarily get acces to this one
also you never know if trains might need to use any of it for some reason
gtg

Tren
DAMN
Happens so quickly
Dorifto!
U dont?
Check in the tram transportation tab. There should be a road for trams only
Oh
@trim prism beautiful track work!
Really cool stuff
Wish i could cope with the mechanics TPF2 has regarding detailing
Idk tbh
I think it is okay the way it is
👍
😭
Hate that how inflexible the game is
😭
Wtf
Disney Land being violent
Thats why i hate tpf2
I think this one has no arch versions
For the overpass areas
Looks so strange cause it makes statically no sense
But it still looks good
Maybe cable stay the overpass
Or make it truss
its more about the bridge than the approach rn
i only wanted to show u how to put the truss
whys it glass lol
but only for the actual part where its over the rails
the rest in a different type
199 miles jez
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2367095488&searchtext= this would also work
without
the workshop is almost useless :|
works too
it has more support than the stone arch at least
i saw that too
but i thought u do polish stuff or no?
oh i think a UK one exists
pathetic that Urban Games has not patched that -.-
Urban Games are the devs of the franchise

terrain is the most annoying thing in TPF2
i like that a lot
so u have to make mountains i guess
that ship is having a hard time

puuuhhh
Ight im curious im on console and I'm wondering if using trains as a light rail source around the city is possible
Im thinking of doing one with trains only so Idk if ill have to rail so it includes trams fir within city transport

After a set of days a post becomes inactive then u need to search for it in the built in search bar of the forum
Yh even we cant
first time playing it in a while, i'm back to TF2
@trim prism absolutely amazing build
Thanks 
F

It's the small things in this game that I love.
e.g. the power lines and the styled catenary
Yes of course.
But I love the effort gone into the workshop
New city bypass
Seeing this I kinda want to play again 
It’s actually great
It fills a niche CS cannot
Imagine having both though
I’d never stop playing
Yep
Maybe it’ll happen in the future
But I used to imagine the Ulimate builder game. It’s predominantly a city builder, but you can build theme parks (planet coaster), rail networks and trams (TF2), zoos (planet zoo) airports (airport tycoon) etc.
Honestly TPF2 with more modular airports would be nice
Like being able to place runways and terminals wherever
Mods on PC exist for that


OMG THATS SO BEAUTIFUL
i need a course in how to get such graphics when I boot that game again
Vanilla is meh
ghost town?
@trim prism can u make a collection with the QOL and Gameplay mods that are crucial. I want to start fresh If i start
Quality of life
Nice
the game does make a fuss about it
Pc just lost internet connection cause midnight so 😭
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2178659489 @trim prism fix your ship capacity :)
I thought u had a problem with too small capacity for ships
Or was it someone else
its not
cause the end of the street just ends and is not connecting with the asphalt brush 😭
turn your phone sideways and back
LOL
all i managed to do so far LOL
i just wanted to build something random
ill develop the area eventually
good idea actually
Yo wat
Thank you for the links!
Hey all
How does one place assets from transportfever.net onto the game?
never mind. Worked it out
Sure thing
Also does adding more locomotives helps in assisting in traction if your slopes are steep?
Oh theres a thread for this lol
That's a fucking Solaris
som pictures from my last buldt.
DAYMN
This looks mind-blowingly beautiful 
Crazy love for detailing
I wish I had the skill/imagination to do that
And I mean I'm on xbox so I can't really do it anyway
Thanks
