Railway Empire 2 Scenario 2 Star Warehouse Part Four
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- We tweak some routes, fix a couple of mistakes on a warehouse, add a missing freight line, add back our Memphis passenger line, and set up a three city cluster (KC, Columbia, and Fayetteville).
You do NOT want to make that milk connection at the Supply Depot like you did down near Fayetteville! The milk coming in will BLOCK the west side going south whenever it needs a drink coming in! MUCH better would have been to spend 50K for a new track in the WH. ;-p
In general connect far back from anything where they could stop, like a Supply Depot, OR the siding, as you talked about in the beginning. (Zoom in to see the signals in play, but that IS a bit annoying and tedious to do.)
As for that siding, I THINK it could have put one more signal, BUT, it's possible that doing so would have left the end of an 8 train using it out on the mainline, holding up traffic, which is why the game may have been 'smart' to NOT put in that one more signal.
Agree. I mention this in part eight.
Love your videos, pretty helpful for this scenario. I was struggling as I didn't invest in passenger/mail first AND I didn't use warehouses at all. They're pretty powerful.
Glad it was helpful!
Exciting. Thanks
You bet!
I learnt alot watching your videos, i got 18th on star. keep up the good work. I'll be watching the next one 😊
I used the wood at top of map and the sugar as an exchange of goods.
Well done. Congrats. Glad to have helped.
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi adekyn love ur videos, learning along as usual from RE1. I have 2 questions- having maintenance stations in middle - does it affect getting express status. if yes does having post office and restaurant at both ends offsets that disadvantage.
Glad you enjoy the videos. In RE2 express status is simply maintaining a target average speed and being capable of hauling passengers and/or mail. So, yes, and extra stop could impact the average speed, but you could still get express status. With or without express status the post office and restaurant add a lot of revenue.
Maybe the Jan Jansens are not that important since you aren’t running as many trains like we did in the first game
You still run a lot of trains. It may not be as many as RE, but it's still a lot of trains. Now we must make sure to have long distances from the main line to a rural station so there is room to get the trains out of the way.
Its possible that you can't do the Jan janson is because you now have the option to run passengers through them with the hotel and exchange goods with a warehouse, none of which you could do in the 1st game, so you may be running full trains back to those rural stations. The jan jansons were specifically for just the locomotive coming back with no wagons.
You wouldn't use Jan Jansens to a hotel. We can't do them because the signals are automatically placed and we can't control where they fall. You place Jan Jansens manually. They plan to add manual signals in update 2. Honestly, I'm okay with the way they work. We just adjust and leave more room for shunt lines.
@@Adekyn100 No I'm just think thats possibly 1 reason as to why they went all auto signals and no manual ones, I'm not a fan of it either. We just learn and adapt. Love your videos by the way.
You might want to put hotels into maintenance stations, possibly increasing the number of passengers by shortening travel distance enough that Indy to Memphis and/or Nashville passengers might take your trains.
Where?
@@Adekyn100 East and West maintenance stations that you use to maintain the passenger trains. Putting in the Hotels allows for passenger transfer outside the cities.
Sorry, I just realized that for this to work trains would need to stop at the maintenance stations on the way to St Louis as well st on the way back
As I remember at the very beginning we were told that passengers would take trains as long as the total distance is less than a multiplier time the shortest distance, thus shortening the distance slightly might increase number of passengers
Using a hotel would negate the whole idea of the design which was to have restaurant and post office at both ends of each line - St. Louis and each of the other cities. I get what you are saying though. If we shortened the distance a bit it might include something like Indy to Nashville.
I was reading the roadmap, it lists manual signalling as part of update 02
I saw that too. I don't really mind the way signals are working, but there are times....
can you go to task page more often pls
Will try to remember.
