"You won't need more repair parts yet."
Hyce would disagree. :)
Haha this is the comment of the day for sure!
Hyce: “Hold my beer…” lol
Haha 😂
Recently had to slow down to 1:1 time... railroad finally got too big to manage it in 2:1 by myself. Pulling 65 cars into Bryson, followed by an additional 37 on the overflow service. Then having to spend 2 hours hostling in the yard to serve the Bryson industries (modded.) Haven't en opened things up past Alarka yet. That's a good thing and a bad thing... this game eventually turns into a second job.
Switching to 1:1 time was the best thing I did since starting the game. It changed the pace from a scramble to get everything done to a steady and constant 'never without something to do but not rushed' kind of thing.
It really does and I love it! Most games I can’t handle the grind, but this one the grind is the point for me haha.
Same here. Moving my SAE to 1:1 was a huge saver for me! I also can’t see well in night mode so I try really hard to get it all done before then!
@@dhtrainz4798 Yup, popping into another railsim with a preset activity doesn't hit as hard as putting a train together yourself and pulling into the interchange for a nice payday.
I agree completely! I much more prefer “free form” sessions as I call them where you have to do all the prep work too.
One day with Passenger Service is best to get the Sawmill at Tier 3 right away, but from there I prefer to expand to Alarka Jct as quick as possible because getting the Robinson Gap Coal mine up to a Tier 5 as quick as possible is the best strategy for income, then you can simply run coal to Whittier and build up funds before expanding the map further. I never do loans income from the Sawmill and Coal Mine is the fastest income generator. Yours is a great strategy too it depends on what your targets are some prefer long hauling right away, I prefer maximum income to purchase locomotives before opening the map up further.
I agree with you! Having started a run where I only use diesels, I can say confidently that the best growth strategy is more locomotives so you can get more done at once, and quicker, plus they are much cheaper anyways lol
Thank you as always for your awsome videos. Will do as you told us when I play a Do over. With my beloved railroad I get the feel I want to play little different. So your "speedrun" tutorial will come in handy.
I’ve started up two other run throughs to explore different styles of play, definitely have enjoyed doing that! You should do it when you’re ready!
Excellent tips. I am well past 25 game days in but I will follow this entire list on my next play through 😊
Glad you find it helpful! Enjoy your railroad!
Definitely not a tip per see but i have gone the full capital spending/expenditure route.
Loans, loans, and more loans.
Buy, buy, and buy.
Day 26 and i am 334,000 in debt but i have a powerful and expansive fleet and i average now almost 55,000 dollars in profit daily. With interest payments only every 4 or so days it is easy to make back the interest and desire to pay down.
Truly though only pull loans to get equipment you know will give you a boost. Such as expanding you passenger trains, log cars, pulp cars, additional locomotives.
Totally agree! I went for fast build and growth and the loans helped me do just that! Very good approach!
Welp. Woulda been handy to have had this tutorial last friday lmao (just got the game, learned hard way)
Well sorry it was too late! lol reminds me of how things were when the game was brand new… slow starts were the norm.
@@dhtrainz4798 lol, I was meaning for that comment to come off in jest. I actually have progressed fairly quickly.
All good man! I assumed there was jest involved!
i been playing it since it came out but with al the updates i am wondering if i should start it again no loans since i been playing and making small amounts profit most my industries tier 2
I’ve started three saves so far! lol I guess I can’t get enough. But I use loans so things move faster.
