Very informational video! Thanks for putting it together. I built a road section blueprint but ran into trouble when I had to change elevation. I added all sorts of detail to it with utilities, hyper tubes, train tracks, street lights, power poles and an under road access corridor. It works great in a straight line but not so good if you have to turn or go up/down!
@relyengaming Жыл бұрын
Yea, the way blueprint snapping works is that it looks at the very center of the blueprint. So, if the blueprint gets taller, that moves the vertical snapping point. It took some testing, learning, and playing to get things to where they were. And the ramps were the hardest part due to the change in elevation and dealing with the vertical issues. I find using default snapping the best, then just finding the right elevation below them to snap to can deal with most issues (unless that point is below the ground level). That said, if you send me the blueprints you made I can play with them and maybe see if I can figure it out. Also, the original 2 road videos (the 2nd video covers ramps) is useful in the scenarios where the blueprints fail you. As you could build those small sections by hand. I still hope we'll see some improved snapping options in the future that can help minimize these issues.
@relyengaming Жыл бұрын
I forgot to mention turns from your comment. Turns would be the same, if your custom BP turn has a change in elevation, you'll need to prep your turn base lower than what I showed in the video. That way the BP can sit nicely on top of it. As long as that point isn't under the world, it should still work fine.

@@relyengaming thank you for such a detailed reply! I appreciate you taking the time to explain all that. I'd be interested to see what your take on it would be. How would you handle it on the section you built that was tall with 2 train tracks under it with utilities on the sides? Mine is very similar to that one. If I saw how you'd handle that one it would work for mine to I bet.
@relyengaming Жыл бұрын
Sure, I'll go play around a little later today and see how I might handle them. The biggest challenge I see in my head is the walls for turns (more specifically the inside of the turn wall). But maybe there is a way to get the inside of the turn in a blueprint and then make something that can be snapped to the turn after the fact. I did this originally with 90 degree turn before I figured out how to get the whole thing in a blueprint. I'll have to see what happens. You've got me curious :P
@relyengaming Жыл бұрын
Although, note to self, a vertical pillar might be cool. To see the trains in the turn (and easy). But I'm still curious how I might do the walls.... I also bet it would be interesting to do the underside with half pipes, but I think I didn't do that in the video as it was too small for 2 trains. If only the BPs were 5x5 :P

Hey Relyen, First off, great video! I was wondering before I tried it, but I just downloaded the blueprints from your discord, (thank you so much for the work you did😊) do these blueprints work in update 8 experimental? No problem if they don't. I mostly wanted to use themn as reference point so I can make my own. I always struggle with curves, so having something I can reverse engineer would probably help. I can pull them up in my creative world in U7 if they won't load in U8. Thanks again for the inspirations

Yep, they work fine in U8. Nudge mode makes them even easier to use honestly. If they would just add a vertical nudge mode, it would be even better. I know there was a bug that caused pillars on the edge to have an issue loading in the bp designer, but i believe that was fixed

@relyengaming9 ай бұрын
You can use the radial turn method. Where you have a center foundation and then put a zoop a foundation from on top of that out 4 foundations. Then delete the first of the four and start another by rotating the foundation 3 clicks and zooping another 4. After repeating this several times you'll have a finished turn. Doing this inside a BP machine was more difficult. I had to create a template in the center of the BP designer by zooping only 2 foundations at a time. Then placing that templated bp inside another bp designer to finish the turn.

You basically extend some foundations straight out from where you are turning, no turning required. Since the BP is "pre-turned" it does the turning for you, so you just line it up. But I feel it's a lot of up and down, adding and removing. So I like the catwalk method better.
