    1 square station
    1 pentagon station
    1 awkward triangle station
    1 Plus station
    1 star station
    9 triangle stations
    19 circle station
    With a passenger spawn rate of:
    14 circles per tick
    32 squares per tick
    32 awkward triangles per tick
    32 plus per tick
    32 star per tick
    24 triangles per tick
    With maximum train passenger cap of 6
    2.33 trains per circle tick
    5.33 per square tick
    5.33 per awkward triangle tick
    5.33 per plus tick
    5.33 star tick
    4.00 trains per triangle tick
    Needing a minimum of 27.33 trains on a route that accesses every shape type, moving at a rate fast enough to have a full trip per tick.
    Due to spawns and positions. No matter the design taken the game would have ended shortly.
    This was just unfortunate RNG

  • @chameleonfoot
    @chameleonfoot 2 роки тому +7

    I just started playing this game! One thing I noticed is that when you move a train, whatever shapes it was carrying get dropped off at the station it would hit next on the route it started on. So if you move a train at the wrong time, you can accidentally cause overcrowding! I dunno if that will help but I hope so.

    I think a "no mistakes" change would be a cool one but also really hard. Basically, once you put down a line or train, you can't move it. It's would be sorta more realistic though as irl we don't just redo tunnels on the fly or teleport trains around lol.

    There was still a place to save a tunnel at the bottom. The track could have gone from the the left island to the bottom left island and then up and along, for just 2 in that part.
    Still wouldn't have saved it, but you might have managed a loop to go a bit longer.

    ISLAND NAMES:
    Tiny Island: Has a triangle that barely fits on it.
    Small Island: Has a circle and is in the shape of a trapezoid.
    Large Island: Has a teardrop and a pentagon.
    Bottom Island: Where Real Civil Engineer put the Red/Green junction.

    I think you could merge the red and blue lines into one larger line. And either merge the blue and yellow line together or merge the red green line and also the blue line.
    Do you know what I mean? Each square must make an infinite number of transfers... And also, if you did not choose an additional line, you would have an additional carriage, and you could also temporarily build a separate line to that island and save one tunnel

    I have an idea if you do another 1 lime challenge. (Don’t know if Diane one else has commented this or if you will ever see this but anyway) Do if the same way as the first 1 lime challenge but when,and only when you hit the train limit add another line so you could maybe get a higher score and not use as many bridges
