This guy debuted in several Steam Parades in Poland. Most unique is its 5 axle tender

#

Even tho we have the classification of the 5 axle tender, I haven’t seen one ever used in the PKP rolling stock

harsh pine
#

...how's this(using Create: Train Physics and wanting to build a steam locomotive with this)

stable merlin
harsh pine
#

Well, I was going to make a steam locomotive... with Create: Train Physics, and this was the best design I could come up with that is aesthetically pleasing.

#

just a boxcab steam locomotive

stable merlin
#

i recomend you make something but a box, and also make the tender be closer to the cab

spring forum
harsh pine
#

well, these are the couplers I use for each train component

#

standard vanilla Create components

stable merlin
#

Yeah, but

spring forum
harsh pine
#

so would something like... one vanilla Chain do it?

#

like, between the locomotive and tender?

spring forum
#

I wouldn’t even bother with a chain either

stable merlin
spring forum
#

Tenders use whats called a drawbar

harsh pine
#

what do I use for a drawbar then?

#

other than nothing

spring forum
#

It’s usually hidden anyway

stable merlin
#

This kinda looks like a Tank engine because the tender and locomotive are so close to eachother

stable merlin
harsh pine
#

ok, other than the locomotive and tender, this still alright for connecting cars together?

spring forum
#

Not every detail on an engine can be replicated in create with Minecraft one block limit

harsh pine
#

yes I just disassembled the entire train

spring forum
harsh pine
#

they actually have couplers like SnR?

#

for 1.21.1 Neo?

stable merlin
harsh pine
#

alr, rebooting minecraft with the new mod

stable merlin
#

like a ton

harsh pine
#

cuz uh yeah(the memory allocation is from a different modpack on Curseforge, idk why they all share the same memory allocation)

spring forum
#

You probably didn’t change the modpacks actual memory allocation

harsh pine
# stable merlin

I mean I've seen and probably used the mod for 1.20.1 Forge...

harsh pine
spring forum
#

Heres two engines that were made using SNR, B&B and pretty in pink

#

(Made by the ever talantented teacup)

spring forum
harsh pine
#

ah, thank you

#

I'll probably just reset Curseforge to whatever the default is and then use these

spring forum
#

Id do custom

harsh pine
#

that's what I mean

spring forum
#

Personally I do about 25 (cause my pc is beefy)

harsh pine
#

you must have double my current physical RAM capacity, 64GB

#

or more

#

either way you do not have 32GB like I do

#

but more

spring forum
#

Then do 16

harsh pine
#

well...

#

I'm just experimenting right now with Create 1.21.1 Neo.

spring forum
#

So?

#

I ran 150~ modpacks with 16gb lol

harsh pine
#

And well... more RAM allocation does not equal better performance.

#

otherwise you get the GC lag spikes

spring forum
#

Ram equals more processing for Minecraft to an extent

#

But having a fuck ton of performance mods help more tbh

harsh pine
#

well don't forget about the JVM Garbage Collector.

#

More RAM also means more useless memory to clean up.

#

which in turn causes lag spikes

spring forum
#

Can cause spikes

harsh pine
#

wdym by that

#

can cause

#

does it depend on your CPU/GPU as well?

#

like, how fast the cores are and such?

spring forum
#

Yeah

harsh pine
#

huh

#

think mine has a turbo of 4.1GHz... being an i5-8500...

spring forum
#

If you have a potato your game’s always gonna lag

#

Yeah no wonder

#

You have an I5

harsh pine
#

and well... if I allocate just the right RAM, I have smooth gameplay

harsh pine
strange blade
#

6-8 gigs is usually the sweet spot, with 10-12 if you have memory eating mods

#

any more than that and yeah the gc will getcha

spring forum
#

16 is about the limit unless you’re doing like ATM’s

#

That bastard requires so muxh

harsh pine
#

oh yeah, like 250-500 mods in a single pack

#

and then playing it on Amplified worlds...

#

no wonder my left alt ain't working

spring forum
#

Yeah I have a mod recommendation for you

harsh pine
#

but umm... how do I get the B&B menu to pop up?

#

without SnR?

spring forum
#

You hit left alt

#

What screen are you on currently?

harsh pine
#

Well, I'm hitting Left Alt while the game is unpaused, not in any menu, and nothing is happening.

gusty skiff
spring forum
#

Nice

#

I wish we could do maps or paintings

#

Would make everything so much cooler

harsh pine
#

how's this for a base so far?

#

for the actual locomotive

maiden bridge
#

depending on if you want to go realistic or not, it's good

harsh pine
#

considering well... I'll need a Create "Steam Engine" for this to function.

#

and for that I need Fluid Tanks

maiden bridge
#

if you want a realistic wheelbase, move the last 6 wheels two blocks forward so that the piston is in the middle of the wheels

spring forum
#

Wdym Create steam engine

#

This?

harsh pine
#

yes

#

that

gusty skiff
#

there is no way ur gonna make that on a train

harsh pine
#

otherwise I won't be able to control it.

spring forum
#

Thats so dumb

gusty skiff
#

yes u are?

harsh pine
#

at least, without using another engine block

maiden bridge
#

you only need the steam engine block dont worry

spring forum
#

I still wouldn’t go for it

#

Not everything has to be super realistic

#

Create train’s borderline are just asthetic

harsh pine
#

hmm...

#

maybe this can work

#

using it as a headlight

#

lol

spring forum
#

We have actually headlights that look good

harsh pine
#

let me guess, using Armourer's Workshop?

spring forum

No

this from Bells and Whistles?

Or just make weird trains?

harsh pine

Like, you expect me to put a diesel locomotive livery on a steam locomotive?

anyways

#

so something. Like this. Where the piston is inside of the pilot bogey.

#

Just to clarify

spring forum
#

Between the pilot, but yes

harsh pine
#

cuz tbh

harsh pine
#

for a 4-6-0

#

now I have to do a 4-4-0

spring forum
#

You can still do a 4-6-0?

harsh pine
#

ok... so I move the driver wheelset back a block?

spring forum
#

Idk bob, maybe mess around with it and see if it looks good?

harsh pine
#

This is 11 blocks

#

minus the cowcatcher

spring forum
#

It looks fine

harsh pine
#

bit of pizzazz on the pilot bogey

#

so it doesn't look flat

spring forum
#

You know you don’t have to just use loco casing either right?

harsh pine
#

yeah but what else can I use? Without restarting the instance and getting Pretty In Pink or that unofficial fork of SnR?

#

which btw if you think I'll use that unofficial fork of SnR... think again

spring forum
#

Skill issue then

harsh pine
#

i saw that

#

so reflected back at you

spring forum
harsh pine
# gusty skiff i think u should use it

Alright, but once SnR officially ports to 1.21.1 Neo you'll help me try to get everything situated between removing the port and getting the official.

gusty skiff
#

if thats ever gonna happen

mental flame
#

I don't think snr 1.21.1 is coming out in this life

gusty skiff

which i think not

mental flame

-# /hj

spring forum
#

Its not

#

Its been cancelled

#

The next update is 26.1

gusty skiff
mental flame
#

oh and i think from sm I read on their github, i think they've made it so you dont have issues taking stuf between versions

#

(at least stuff from create 0.5.1 1.20.1 -> create 6 1.21.1 snr 1.6.x)

harsh pine
#

even when you try to use something made from 1.21.1 Neo to 1.20.1 Forge?

#

cuz I actually had that problem

gusty skiff
#

prob

harsh pine
#

tried using someone's train schematic from 1.21.1 Neo(theirs) in 1.20.1 Forge(mine) and some of the copycat stuff defaulted.

gusty skiff
#

actually nvm, i know it works, cuz ive done it before

gusty skiff
mental flame
#

I know it works from 1.20.1 to 1.21.1 bc ive done that

#

dk the other way

spring forum

yeah, and idk what's supposed to be what atp

#

without getting 1.21.1
