    Hyce learned why having a doubled-up back-to-back harpe is a bad idea… kAN, you have one at the sawmill as well as between the oil field and ironworks, and they’re a bad idea in game. Sometimes they work fine, but as Hyce learned: they usually don’t. You can be targeting the closer one but the further one will activate-the one your train is sitting on. If you run around to the other side, that same one will still activate, and short of deleting it outright, it will simply refuse to acknowledge the harpe you are actually trying to throw. To solve this, I’ve discovered you have to have one harpe on the left, one on the right. It’s an annoying bug, and hurts to look at as an esthetic, but it prevents the problem Hyce had if you watch his video. He targets the south harpe, but the north one flips and yeets the Zooma into the sky. I had this happen to me, too, and lost my brand new Cooke 2-8-0 completely off the map. The only other fix I’ve found is to put a 5-10 meter straight of track between the switches, else the harpes are in each other’s activation hit box-hence the problem. If you don’t know what I mean, go over to those switches that killed Hyce and just try it a few times and see what I mean. I usually put the “near” switch with the harpe on the right as you approach it, since that keeps the hit boxes apart. I’d also be glad to host you on my railroad to show you the problem too if you if you’d like?
    Going back to “wings in space” like you and Hyce were mentioning in a previous episode, yes, in Star Wars the ships have “wings”. From the very first movie, the ILM model makers were concerned about how the ships would deal with heat. Space maybe “cold” but there is no air in which to radiate heat out of, since that requires a medium in which to flow for heat to dissipate like air or water, and space is an empty vacuum. Too much heat fries your electronics and cooks your crew to death in real life. The Deathstar’s Achilles Heel was one of its auxiliary heat exhaust ports. The primary heat exhaust port was on the north pole of the station and was big enough to fly a Star Destroyer into, but was heavily defended and triple shielded, so no ship or torpedo could get through. However, the auxiliary ports (of which the physical filming model had 19, each with a trench leading down from the main pole vent) only had “ray shielding” which stops energy weapons, but not proton torpedoes, since no one thought a targeting computer, pilot, or guidance system could guide one down the multi-kilometer long and straight shaft all the way to the reactor without hitting the 2-meter diameter wall and exploding, the ray shields stopping any energy transfer down and debris being cleaned up-they didn’t count on the son of the most powerful Jedi being the one to pull the trigger. Heat Managment is everywhere in Star Wars, but completely ignored in most other franchises, especially Star Trek, which alone puts Star Wars ships into being more realistic in how it depicts space - of all things. The X-Wing is so designed with opening esfoils to create a much larger surface area for heat distribution, because again it’s a lot harder to get rid of that heat. By opening the wings in combat when the thrusters will be firing rapidly, the engines are at max throttle, and the weapons are firing, it now has more than doubled its surface area for heat distribution. The ARC-170 (direct ancestor to the X-wing) and Jedi Starfighters (a direct ancestor to the TIE fighter) in the opening of “Revenge of the Sith” do the same thing entering combat, open up their wings for heat distribution. The Twilight in the early Clone Wars seasons has two spars that again do the same thing, and put the defensive gun on the end of the spar for the same reason of easier heat dissipation than if it was in the main hull. The reason is the original ILM designers in the 70s were kit-bashing the ships from parts of model kits of the Apollo, Gemini, and other space program ships, and they knew those ships had to dissipate heat once down to the actual traveling modules. Half of the “solar panels” on the International Space Station aren’t for absorbing the sun’s rays but for distributing the station’s heat. So as weird as it sounds: wings in space have a purpose rooted in real life. In atmosphere, they can double-up for aerodynamic flight but are often not designed for that purpose. The X-Wing’s leading edge is both flat and a 90 degree angle, so it’s a literal brick. To fly, it would need powerful engines and a repulsor field to “push” the air away because it’s intended to be a space ship, not a aircraft. So, yeah. Not so silly after all. But also a complete fiction. They use solar panels to dissipate heat in real life and catch the sun’s rays to provide power, hence the dual-purpose in real life, and why just a “wing” wouldn’t be anywhere close to working as efficiently like that. It’s the concept and purpose that works and is cool to see on the big screen, and is something 99% of other franchises ignore entirely. Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome did briefly touch on heat distribution, with its “stealth” Battlestar hiding in the nebula. The ship had internal “heat sinks” and is why the shots of the characters inside were shown as being wet from sweat constantly. By hiding the heat internally, it cut down on how much heat the ship put out-making it, in theory, harder for the Cylons to detect since cutting a radar signature means nothing if you glow like a bonfire on a thermal scope. This same idea was applied in “The Expanse” as well to build the Amun Ra Class stealth ships, and was why they were so hard for the Donager to detect, along with the hull scattering radar. But the problem? You can only build up so much heat before it’s too much… seconds at best in space. So, are such “heat sinks” realistic? viable? Not really… you’d cook the crew like a roast and fry your electronics. An interesting concept, though. And to dissipate that heat better, you need more surface area. And in Star Wars, that’s addressed and not ignored with the use of wings that “lock into attack positions”… which also fits the “rule of cool”. Anyway… sorry for the rant. Science fascinates me. And that’s not even touching on the proposed space engine that used nuclear bombs to propel it forward… that was almost actually built.
    But, “Project Orion” is something you can research yourself, kAN. ;)
    P.s. you still need to ask Hyce about a sun heated “snake head” rail on the old railroads prior to 1890! I’m sure he knows a story or two about why they were so deadly to trains…

    When I drove a rail crew van one time I got a trip to take a FRED (the Flashing Rear End Device) from our tiny depot to a coal train 2hrs away at a power plant. No crew, just pick up a FRED and drop it off. 20min into my return trip I got a call with a trip to take the crew from our depot to that train. That crew had to put the FRED on after I got them there. BNSF wasted an entire van trip. 😂

    though due to the extreme blindspots, i wish they added something similar to Rolling Line, where you could change the "Height" of the player, or simply add an Adjust Height so people like me could actually ride the train in a nice driing spot, without having to lean out of the cab.

Investigator came up, hid in the bushes, and caught them at several crossings not blowing the correct patterns. They got fined for each time and for not fixing the crossing.
