You and your fellow railroaders are the lifeblood of your railroad, just like it is the lifeblood of the communities it serves. Switch cars at industries. Keep people moving while running local passenger trains. Run trains with a purpose in transition era Appalachia - in Railroader! - Ігри
Thanks for the vids! I think I'll probably buy in Early Access just to support the devs. One thing; I'm going to have to consciously work at not being annoyed that they're being called "Engines" rather than "Locomotives". Steam or Diesel engines provide power to locomotives. Small detail, but it's going to bug me. Otherwise, looking forward to playing and watching your play-through.
Just started playing in this tutorial series is marvelous. It’s what the game tutorial should have been. Really really great. Thank you.
You're welcome. Happy railroading!
It's a neat little game; I look forward to watching you play it somewhat seriously while Hyce and kAN get up to their usual train game shenanigans. Kind of a nice contrast there I think.
WHOOPWHOOP I LIKE THE FACT YOU ARE NOT ALL KNOWING THE ADVENTURE IS PART OF LEARNING AND PLAYING AND THAT MAKE KERBO A FUN STREAMER (HAT TIP)
Why are you always yelling? You yell in the chat and yell posting comments...turn OFF the caps lock ffs!
NOT YELLING ON MY KEYBOARD ALL THE LETTERS ARE UPPER CASE IM SORRY YOU HAVE A NEW VERSION THEY ONLY SELL TO BLUE HAIRS GET THE BIG BOY KEYBOARD IT TYPES LIKE A PATRIOT ANY FUCKING WAY I WANT GET IT TODAY AND TALK LIKE THE MAN YOU KNEW YOU COULD BE @@KG-xt4oq NOT TRYING TO BE A HARD ASS BUT PLEASE PICK THE TREE OUT OF YOUR EYE BEFORE YOU TELL ME ABOUT A SPECK OF DUST IN MINE
FANTASTIC!! Your series has taught me me so much. Thanks so much!!
I’ve only missed one biggie and that was how you jump on a stirrup. I’ve tried F11 with both control and shift with no success. Would really appreciate any suggestions from anyone.
You just walk up to the stirrup and it will automatically board.
Double FANTASTIC!!!! It works. You are my HERO 😀😀
Awesome video !!
Seems complex. !!! Seems you knew a lot beforehand. I just purchased March.
fun fact, FRR was the reporting mark for a company known as the Fitchburg Railroad which was based out of Boston Masssachusetts and ran on what we now call the Fitchburg Branch of the MBTA
Nice!
Wonderful video, i wanted a nice raw demo of the game before purchase and you gave exactly that, no skips, no streamer face on the screen, no music overlap. I purchased the game after watching this and im now loving it. I did want to see you actually start the game though, so i could check the menu, but looking in steam i seen it was coop but would have been nice to get that info also from your video. Great job friend, ty
I've been looking for a new train and been getting back into trains again, so I'll have to give this one a try!
So basically you have an automatic boilerman who heats your locomotiv, throws in the coal and watches the water lvl. You are the engineer and the manager and can hire ai engineers to help if you want.
Yes, exactly
@@KerboOnYT Honestly glad they did it that way
@@CoryAY82383 Me too. As a solo player it would be far too much work to fire, drive, switch, etc all at once
@KerboOnYT yes I play 100% solo so I agree
i made him some music for his game (i never mentioned this publicly till now). and he was initially working with me on it privately.. but then disappeared and quit talking to me.. so a lil upset about that.. left the discord after a while.. but trying to get over the personal part and just enjoy the game anyway. trying to stay unbiased and watch your video to see if i want to buy the game still.
I'm having a lot of fun with the game. Thanks for watching!
@@KerboOnYTit looks good. nice to see it in action and not just a trailer.
Minor note, it doesn't seem like the triple valves on the cars have an emergency portion. Anything above a 26PSI reduction doesn't net any more air in the brake cylinders. This seems intentional since the locomotives do seem to put 90 pounds in the brake cylinder, but the 50s seem like an awfully odd period to have both first generation EMDs and freight cars without emergency.
From what I understand the time period is kind of loose so we get a wider range of locomotives. This game is also more about operating a railroad so some mechanics are simplified.
@@KerboOnYT Yeah some people call it a model railroad simulator, which I agree with from my experience
Common practice is not to connect the brakes when working the yard
Subbed! Just started playjng this myself. Its a bit overwhelming at first but your playthrough is helping guide me with what to do next
Welcome and happy railroading! There's a lot of help and resources on the Railroader Discord (link in description)
@@KerboOnYT already joined! I'm taking one freight load a day right now just to get proficient with cutting the cars and running around. I did notice that two freight cars I delivered to Ela station the previous day are still there. Do they not disappear once you've delivered them? Or do they re-use the same freight cars when you take a new way bill for the same destination?
@@TheGhostRonin The cars stay there until they've been processed (loaded or unloaded). At that point the waybill will update for the new destination
I like this game. I am buying it for Christmas. Thanks for sharing. .
YESSSSSS! I just downloaded the game and got 8 hours in playing so far
Hi looks really cool with very positives feedback from users. Thanks for your tutorial
You're welcome. Thanks for watching
They bumped up the release date? Awesome!
At present the caboose has no function, so you might as well set it for selling. Gain around 3.5k cash.
It's fun to take on longer hauls for the immersion
I hope the add custom logos for railroads
Love this game a lot!
Me too
This seems very stressful lol thanks for the video
I find it relaxing once I figured out the basics. Thanks for watching!
@@KerboOnYT I'll give it a try. Ty again
The release caught me off guard, I was expecting and planning for it on the 15th. I almost didn't buy straight away, but then I knew that if I didn't and waited, they'd have likely lost a sale as the hype in my mind would have died down and I would have been content with watching other people's videos
Great video!
It appears to be a hybrid of Derail Valley, Railroads Online, Snow Runner (fixing bridges &c.) and a DCC model railway.
As an 'Early Access' game (which we all know can be both good AND bad) is it worth the 25 Eddies they want for it?
Whether a game is worth it is entirely subjective. I think it is worth $30USD even in early access, but that's just my opinion. The core gameplay is there and works. I have only ran into minor bugs in 30+ hours of play, nothing game breaking.
I think the best description of the game is that it's a model railroad simulator.
There's enough depth to be immersive but simple enough to be fun. Like a middle ground between Run8 and Train Sim World.
Hey kerbo I know on railroads online you highlight on things you do is there any way on this series we can see everything? I enjoy the raw footage lol keep up the good work tho your videos brighten up my day 🤓
I did a 3 part video series where I go through the tutorial showing everything. This series will be edited for length though, so not everything will be shown
@@KerboOnYT yah I have been following closely I really like how they included AI drivers that will help a lot I look forward to your next stream do you only stream on UA-cam or twitch also?
@@codyschenfisch2469 I streamed on Twitch for 10 years but in 2023 moved exclusively here. My streams are infrequent due to work, family, etc. Last weekend was a nice fluke where I was given a Railroader key and had time for multiple streams
@@KerboOnYT hey family always comes first I am a contractor in North Dakota I get the work aspect I’m always busy
14:47 15 dollars a day, almost hundred years ago adjusted to inflation. are you kidding me? put me back there so i can start make a living!
Next question…..What’s the reason for using the Switch List?
It's an aid in keeping you organized. I use them to keep track of the work on multiple locals
What is the top left slider on the control section at the bottom left of the screen used for?
That is the train brake. I made a quick graphic here imgur.com/a/1A9RqkL
@@KerboOnYT thanks! This helps a lot!
2 more hours until release! And are you going to have subscribers able to join you after you “complete” the game?
Yep, release is almost here! I have no plans right now for co-op. It's very difficult for me to plan anything like that due to career, family, etc.
Got any ideas on how to turn your engine around like a turn table ?
You can turn your engine on a turntable or on a wye. On the first part of the railroad you have when starting, there is a wye at East Whittier
#KerboReplay #RailRoader #Fedora #Fun 🇨🇦
I’m having problems with the train breaks. Every time I use them all the cars I’m pulling refuse to bleed once I turn the brake off. The rear most valve cock is in the closed.
Check the train UI and make sure there aren't any little yellow warning signals telling you anglecocks aren't set correctly
How do you get AI to drive for you? Where you mentioned they stop for switches in the wrong position and what not?
Inspect window and orders tab
@@KerboOnYT thank you sir
i just got the game
I have a question.
If I run out of coal how can I put coal back into the locomotive boile?
You will need to move the loco and tender to a coal loading facility. The tutorial shows you how this works. You can move a dead loco with another loco or if you're close by standing in first person and pushing (Shift+R)
What key binding did you use to place the fusee?
You place fusees with Ctrl+F. This key combo is in the Controls section of the Guide, which I recommend reading. You can find the Guide at the top right of the game screen. Thanks for watching!
Found my answer it is Control-F
Can you speed up time? I watched this video a couple times but didn't remember to pay attention when you talked about the time scale 1:1, 1:2 and can't seem to find the option
It's on the settings tab of your company menu, open that with the i key
thanks for the speedy reply@@KerboOnYT
I recently just found this game on steam but i havent got it yet. Any tips for a newbie?
When you start a new game in company mode it will start a tutorial. Go through that and read each window carefully. Also check out the in game guide, it has a lot of useful information as well as key bindings. There are icons in the top right for the guide and tutorial.
There is a 3 part video series where I play through the tutorial if you want to check that out. Note this was a pre-release version of the game so some things may have changed. ua-cam.com/video/briOC1oWGkA/v-deo.html
Happy railroading!
@@KerboOnYT thanks my friend I hope to get it soon
How do you change rolling stock paint schemes?
Inpect window, equipment tab, options
How does thus compare to Derail Valley in your opinion?
They both have trains. DV is fun but more gamey in a made up world whereas Railroader is based on a real shortline. They're both great fun!
Is that from a same developers who made Railroads online??!
No. All relevant links are in the video description
So isn't the air break functionality backwards? When you blead the air the breaks are on not the other way around. An air break system need air to release the breaks. When you bled the coal car tank empty it should have had its break on full not released.
That’s for trucks, rail car air brakes work differently. Each car has a reservoir and when the air pipe connecting all the cars is reduced an equalizing valve drops the pressure in the reservoir tank by sending that excess air pressure to the brake line. So when you dump the air pipe, it charges the brake lines. This is why bottling air in rail cars is dangerous. It will apply the brakes, but several hours later when the air pressure bleeds out the brakes will release on their own, so bottling air leads to a false sense of security.
When you bleed the whole system it removes that air from both reservoir and brake line and releases the brake shoes.
kurtis gave a good breakdown. Train brakes are more complex than trucks and work differently
*brake
@@kurtisf3366 Could you break it down a little more? What does reducing and dumping mean in that context?
@@konstantin7754 To apply the brakes in a train you reduce the air pressure on the brake pipe. You might hear an engineer talk about making an 5 pound reduction or something like that, that refers to reducing the air pressure in the brake pipe by 5 pounds. I don't know if dumping the air is properly terminology or not, but what I was talking about above was just another way of describing making a big reduction. In railroader you will notice that your train brake has a "90" on it. 90 psi is pretty common in North America to be charged, brakes released state of a train. As you slide that slider to apply heavier braking, the number will reduce. Reducing it to 80 would be a 10 pound (psi) reduction.
How do I make the controller UI appear in the bottom Left of screen?
The game has a great tutorial if you start in company mode.
Ctrl click on a locomotive or car to bring up the inspector window. On a locomotive you then click the Select button to bring up the controls.
Thanks heaps@@KerboOnYT !
@@jwd8964 No problem. I found out a shortcut is to Ctrl+Shift+Click and that will open the UI for that loco directly without opening the inspector window. Hopefully they've added that to the Controls page of the guide as well
Does anyone know what this means? When i try to launch the game i get the msg--An error occured- No Licenses!
The best place for help with the game is their Discord. Link is in the description.
I can't get it up on my switch list. I don't get a box to tick.🤨
You have to be on a crew to use the switch list. Open the company window, crew tab, create or join a crew
how do you put down the fusee
You place fusees with Ctrl+F. This key combo is in the Controls section of the Guide, which I also recommend reading. You can find the Guide at the top right of the game screen. Thanks for watching!
thank you
Hey Kerbo I'm not sure it's an exploit or a feature, but another streamer (I can't think of his name but he has very long streams) showed that you will get a report every day at 6pm. If you wait until 6pm to buy contracts you can go up to Tier 3 and you will get your 25% discount. I know it's too late for you but just so you know down the road and others.
Yes, I know, but I'm not interested in min/maxing the game and have my own plan
Edit: It was SteR
Your voice sounds like the narrators from the Polar Express 😂 if you don’t know what I’m talking about watch the first five minutes and you’ll understand what I mean.
what no crane or pull it back on to the rail boo
It's early access so maybe we'll get more in the future. I was hoping for rerail frogs like in Run 8
I don't see you using the caboose. Does using the caboose make any difference for reputation/funds/etc?
There's no benefit that I know of, but I do plan to use the caboose for longer runs just for kicks
@@KerboOnYT thanks ...I also really appreciate your beta videos. I'm planning on getting a copy soon.
i love the game but when you wanna jump in to muiltplayer i dont have money for cars it sucks can they chnage muiltplayer where you dont need to buy cars
I haven't played multiplayer so I don't know how that works. They're open to suggestions on their Discord (linked in the description) if you want to drop a note there. Thanks for watching!
Game is intresting but... have one fucking problem. I can't buy a simulator who look more bat as a strategi game. Transport Fever 2 have one of the most well done train, so in that case why they do some nice game with so poor maket train... In these fame detail must be as in warthunder.
That was mostly incomprehensible, but I think you're unhappy with the level of detail? There are tradeoffs between great graphics and great physics/simulation. Computing power is finite. That's one reason why you have fantastic physics and detailed simulation on a large scale but dated looking graphics (Run 8) or great looking graphics with poor simulation and poor physics (Train Sim World). Thanks for watching!
