    I wondered when I'd see RE2 on your channel. Can't say I'm surprised to see that it was "almost immediately". 👍
    I don't agree with the crap this game is getting in Steam reviews (at least it was yesterday. I don't know about today.) RE is a game that didn't need reinventing. The formula works, and I like most of the minor changes they've made. I like the new personnel system, I like trains on the same line trying to space themselves out, and I really like hotels and being able to turn rural stations into passenger hubs. That was a great change, and it also makes mixed locomotives viable. I always used express/freight locos before. I didn't see a reason not to, but now I do, and that's a good thing. Also, in my campaign mission 1, I have a six-track bridge running out of Buffalo. I knew I'd like the bigger bridges and tunnels, and I wasn't wrong. The increased freedom with tracklaying is great.
    The only thing I don't like so much is the automated signaling. There were a few things I liked to do with signals that I can't do anymore. Overall, though, I'm very happy with RE2. I've encountered a few graphical bugs on my ride-alongs, but they'll probably be sorted out by patches, so I don't care. The $70 CAD might not be worth it to someone who played RE1 and was only "meh" about it, but I think it's an excellent game. I'm looking forward to a new campaign, a bunch of new scenarios, and greatly improved maps for free play.

    Well, there are somethings I like and don't like about the game. I like that you can add more locomotives by adjusting the # of trains. Double track feature seems like a good idea, why bother trying to double track them yourself. No more worrying about crew members and the free warehouses. Already 5hrs of watching gameplay, I'm almost sold, but they have so many glitches to fix "Whats the hold up!"

    Great tip with the turnout to create a through train. I found I had to set a waypoint on both lines and edit my trains' routes; they didn't take the through lines automatically. Maybe it doesn't calculate it as being any quicker/shorter if the train wasn't due to stop at the next station, anyway? I don't know.

    I added the extra lines at the end, like yourself but when I tried to put the gridiron on the Portland/ Bangor end it will only let me put 2 at a time and not all 4. Any tip there please? Also, smashin vids, being autistic I can listen and take in your commentaries, down to earth and no technical jargon or one of those comp. generated monotone voices (the humanity!!! lol). So cheers blue, keep 'em rolling.

    • @GrandT
      @GrandT  Рік тому +1

      Thank you Colin, and welcome aboard! As for the gridiron, the usual culprit is fake parallel tracks near the station. Keep an eye on the track cost information on the right of the screen, and ensure the costs are in Parallel Tracks rather than Tracks.
      While I don't mention it on the channel, I'm also autistic. I only found out late in life (last year), as I was misdiagnosed with ADHD 32 years ago.

    I reckon the Grasshopper was more popular BECAUSE it is slower.
    Speed unnerves people that are not used to the concept. For us in the modern day, we're used to speed, even if we personally don't go very fast, we have rockets and supersonic aircraft and cars that travel at a good clip.
    Back in the 1830's the fastest thing they'd really seen was horse and wagon, railroad was new and strange. Speed was scary.

    Really enjoying the series, can I ask for some help. First time playing this series and I keep having an issue where I have trains with triangles saying that either they have waited to load for 4 weeks or they left without cargo. I don’t know how to fix this, any suggestions?

    • @GrandT
      @GrandT  Рік тому

      Depending on the reason, you can ignore most if not all of them. I tend to leave them to grow into my network, as the demand isn't there for full load deliveries in the early game. As cities grow, those triangles vanish. While I don't like seeing the "Waiting for more than 4 weeks" stuff, at least I know my train is costing less to run, and making maximum profit (no fuel/maintenance/water etc costs while loading).
      I like to have way more capacity than demand early on, as I can safely move on to a new area without having to check back too often.

    • @GrandT
      @GrandT  Рік тому

      I should add, that some trains waiting/leaving empty could be a result of not enough production from the industry. If that's an AI industry, you'll just need to wait for it to upgrade (waiting trains ensure the industry stays at 100% production) - if it's your own and you can afford it, you can upgrade it.

    As an old-head fan of your channel, transport fever, i gotta say this game is shit with their signal placements. that ride-along did me no favors. honestly, why cant someone remake railroad tycoon 3? the game doesnt exist on steam. like, why is a railroad sim so difficult to nail?

      The signaling was much better in the original. Hopefully they revert it, or at least give us the option to use the "classic" method.
