Building a Perfect Sawmill Layout in Railroads Online!

[@Hyce777]

I promise my POV might be uploaded sometime today! LOL! Comcast is not being my friend today... I still love this sawmill layout! I've tried it like, 3-4 times myself, and this one that you made is the best still, kAN!

[@pokemontrainermichael5551]

Hi Hyce

[@Arturobrito0502]

Nice to see your still around, i hope the south american tank engine from the tech tree gets added, i like it so much but its up to nix and idk if hes adding it :/

[@raymarshall6721]

Comcast is nobody's friend. I loathe them so much I look forward to work because I get to use internet in hotels around the country instead lol

[@realcanadian67]

Get rid of Comcast... If you can

[@samsmith6976]

you guys need to make a podcast together

[@missouriman7689]

They should add a MAIL route to earn extra dough and put cabooses to use. Easy to use the existing game mechanics a small dock & crane to load bags of mail and be delivered for $$ at other locations. Even limited to 5 bags at $10 each could keep the exploit rate at bay while still being enough to justify the stop and extra coin. Also fits the era as nearly every train also carried mail, people and food one way or another. Even if this doesn't make it into the game itself there is endless room for mods & extras down the line (pun intended :)

[@amtrakp4242]

I thought of passenger trains for no reason but for fun

[@VestedUTuber]

The game would need to have multiple towns and ideally a standard gauge transfer facility for mail to make sense. At the moment it only has a handful of industries. Mail was never carried from industry-to-industry, but rather town-to-town, and then distributed from the station's sorting office to its final destinations by individual carriers. As for cabooses, they already have a use and it's the same as in real-life. They allow for controlled braking to maintain coupler tension running downhill, and a place for crew to stay during long runs. Problem is that the game currently doesn't punish you for using a flatcar that way.

[@IONATVS]

There were mail cars (and mixed mail/luggage cars) mentioned among the rolling stock they’re considering adding, but haven’t figured out exactly how they want to do mail and passenger service yet, and I believe they’re focused on improving the base game engine before expanding the to that side of things

[@ulrichkalber9039]

@@VestedUTuber there are industrys, when there are industrys there are workers. workers live somewhere. there ARE towns, around the industrys, they are just not represented in the game, so running passengers from industry to industry would be realistic.

[@VestedUTuber]

@@ulrichkalber9039 You wouldn't have mail pick-ups/drop-offs at the industries themselves. Eventually, if the towns are added, then it would make sense. But as the game is right now, everything's basically in a vacuum.

[@rdiamond655]

kAN, you and Hyce have unexpectedly created a very entertaining steam train podcast with custom background visuals and sound effects! My son is learning a ton.

[@THEJake829]

A kAN/Hyce crossover where kAN pays a visit to the Colorado Railroad Museum would be something fun to see a video from.

Since the spline update, laying track is such a dream now! Secretly glad to see that the splines haven't affected Hyce's ability to yeet trains into the dirt too

[@brambo283]

Did my own sawmill lay-out today as well, and boy is it elaborate 😅 Im working with the concept of double track to all the industries, and as little joined tracks as possible. Really makes it a piece of work fitting every piece of track in a (relative) small space

[@AlphabetSoupABC]

It makes me happy to see everyone playing this game again!

[@Appaloosia]

One thing I found VERY helpful with circle mode, when you set the degrees to 0 the track will lay perfectly straight. So there isn't any need to lay a bunch of switches or cross sections just to have a straight track. Love the work BTW!

[@thomasjacobsen9768]

11:15 The famous steam loco barrel roll! Used at every stop back in the day to make sure you stop safely, hehe! Love the series this far, keep it up guys!

[@cadetkohr5508]

This has actually inspired me to redesign my sawmill layout! I normally play solo, but I found a friend who plays Railroads Online too, so I need to redo a lot of my trackwork. I won't directly copy this, as I set my railroad up differently, but I'm definitely going to take some inspiration!

[@DJPolarbeardp]

This is a great series to watch, it's entertaining and very educational at the same time.

[@devynarnold6026]

The Erie Railroad had a massive yard in Kent ohio, my town, and it was almost like an epicenter for the railroad. It was almost a mile long and a quarter mile wide, and near the south end of the yard, it was curved. Granted it was straight in general, but it curved towards the end

[@modelmainline7278]

Also, from what I’ve heard the mosca locomotive has a small price, lots of tractive effort and is also the fastest locomotive in the game, and I think you should definitely get it

[@squarebodycasewademckenney6190]

I respect that he actually worked with a railroad company... has real knowledge... And I must find this game

[@BunchaSnakes]

Yes! It’s beautiful! I love your railroad’s online content

[@SizzlingSquiggle]

I love the rate that this content is being produced. The publish dates are slow enough that it works for my schedule but fast enough that I remember the previous episode and works with my level of not-busy-and-have-time-to-watch-youtube

[@cromwellthesynth]

Oooooh most useful! I've been really struggling with finding a way to link the sawmill to the Ore Mine and the Smelter in the mountain valley Like holy heck I just can't do it without it looking like a dumb rollercoaster...

[@littlevinster2224]

Loving the series! kAN from my experience, I found making good looking mountain lines is actually trickier than before. This is for 2 reasons. 1. The bridges need to be closer to the ground to place (regardless of visual height) so it is not easy to make valley passes. 2. Circle mode is great, but it made me aware of how tight some of the curves are (so I became self consious and therefore my track didn't have that same hug-the-mountain feel. My lines were all basically bridges running parallel to the mountain instead of against the mountain). Hope these are neglegable issues for you, as I would love to see some cool smelter/coal/iron lines!

[@khromex7444]

You and Dapper playing this when it was only weeks old is how I found this game and I love it

[@darth_dartrixon1477]

I didn’t know about the story Hyce talked about the blue Peter accident. Looked it up and there’s footage of it, it sounds so scary especially because it’s just covered in a cloud of steam. Definitely recommend looking it up if the story peaked your interest

[@cowboy_civ]

I love how KAN still uses the switchs and 90 cross track to lay out the rails. Nice job on sawmill.

[@jonahwolfe3396]

I really enjoyed this kind of video, not only was it fun and satisfying to watch, but I really liked how it was a bit educational as well. It was nice just listening to the other guy talk about the history of trains. Making videos that mix both Video games and education sounds like a really awesome concept.

[@randomusernameCallin]

I love the the ideal of character's skills like better loading or even map reading.

[@jiggyjim4098]

My main save uses a curved "receiving" type yard for the trains to come in and drop their cars to send the engine off to service. The yard job comes to get a train and take it over the hump into the classification yard. I've been building up tracks of individual load types so that when I am ready to take a train somewhere, all I have to do is have a yard crew assemble a train with the required loads then empties and hand it off to the road crew and their engine. The curved yard works great, though was a pain to get the way I wanted without switch variants. Curved switches would be great! My secondary save is more of a smooth typical layout for the era, my main save is a more of a modern layout with older era trains.

What a way to think fast and act fast around the 11:00 mark. Great series.

[@Zuiderzee-Lives]

Okay, that’s a pretty slick setup. Glad you started playing RO! again, kAN.

[@aiyn8427]

The Roseville California railyard, one of the largest on the West Coast has a large section of curved track for shunt yards. Where they had to bypass of rail disaster where ammunitions train exploded. Because every time they try building there they find more bombs still

[@Dinkleberg96]

Maaaaan loving the series! In Europe using the period to abreviate a word or a name it's still being used at least where i live it is

[@peternelson3187]

the period at the end of the names is historic witch is supper weird but it is cool to see how much our english has changed in 150 years. Also I love hearing about the locomotive things of real life I know some but not as much as i wish.

[@jimrussell4062]

Good issues at the 17:00 point about diverse loads. Currently RRO seems to be more of a "training area" and would need a bigger, more filled in map to make some of the options usable with perhaps some pre-built villages or resources, maybe even in a "realistic" map (if not real world, maybe based on a real world layout) A pre-made map that shows how a "normal" map would look like "in real life." The sandbox part is great, but maybe a bit like Minecraft... some few things to generate in then a lot of room for you to build and add. Maybe community maps are a fill-in in the meantime.

[@NonCrusader]

addition to your idea(upgradable cranes)- the idea is, the places with cranes can be upgraded with certain different materials progressively (level one for example would need coal and planks, and later levels would need oil and steel)

[@evolgemn5206]

one thing this game needs is a way to see any type of track on the map it would be a BIG HELP

[@Tsudico]

Well, if you really want track on a map, without the wait, you could check out RROx. It will inject itself into the game in order to do what it does, so pretty sure it is flagged by antivirus.

Hyce said something about the polar express. Here in Michigan we actually have the locomotive that was used for the digital rendering for the movie. The engine, 1225, also has a bit of state history and gives rides as the polar express every year.

[@gizmofluff7862]

with the new turntables you can attach segments directly to them so all you have to do is rotate them to the angle u want and attach a segment like u would normal track hope this helps when u work with turntables

i love clean sawmills like that, mine is just a giant mess of double tracked crossover goodness with S bends galore

[@dbill7486]

Kan, do you have some aversion to using circle mode to lay straight track? You do not need to use switches to get straight track.

[@AussieBoyLloyd]

You took the words right out my mouth kAN I would love to see towns maybe as u develop industry towns could form … or they could add sort of the progression of society as it presses into the wilderness… Would be good to see building supplies like wood to build buildings then as the town grows , food and minerals and eventually goods for commerce and that could then mean they could add passenger carriages … All wayyyy down the line (pun intended) features

[@GreenAxolotI]

If you need a scouting train, use the Mosca, it’s the fastest train in the game

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

the current utility is RROx. They just updated the mapping plugin for new spline, and it also has a bunch of other features, like remotely throwing switches, a minimap, remotely controlling locomotives, teleporting between industries, and much, much more. Nothing for automatic cranes yet, though.

[@Astro_dreagonz]

I would definitely suggest the mosca over the class 70 when you get there it has more than the speed of the motezuma and is a steal for it reactive effort over its price

[@ExodusNexus222]

@kAN if u use circle mode and set the radius to 0 is will make a perfectly straight piece of track
