Building a Train Empire in the NEW First Person Sandbox Railroads Online!

Hey everyone and welcome to Railroads Online! This is an epic open world multiplayer sandbox railroad building game where we build and run our own railroads in first person! In this game we are trying to manage a steam train company by building our own tracks that transport goods to various facilities to produce new goods and make loads of money (for 1900s)... ‪@DapperEcho‬

This seems like a game that would be amazing to play with friends, but solo currently it looks like a tedious nightmare, but it looks really good, just needs a few tweaks to remove the tediousness

[@Da-Real-Gigachad]

Yup

[@9LiveEmpire]

i said a minimum of 2

[@yolomaster1188]

I think its kinda supposed to be tedious

[@waterbottle9846]

It also is 33 usd

[@kANGaming]

It is tedious to build nice looking smooth tracks but it is definitely satisfying when it is done!

[@CannTheRailfan]

as a railfan and railroad historian, this is one of the best train sims ever made along with N3V's Trains Railroad Simulator Series

[@diamondapocalypse5019]

ikr, looks so good if they make the building easyer i might get the game (cause i like trains)

[@GimbleOnDew]

@@diamondapocalypse5019 yep, I tried for 2 nights then asked for a refund. Devs need to do a major overhaul to track laying

What is you opinion on the intercity 125

[@CannRailfanProductions]

@@trainsarecool190 one of the most successful high speed Diesels in the UK

[@KayoMichiels]

Nah man.. MSTS (and later on OpenRails) and Run8 are the OG trainsims, Trainz is good but it's realism leaves much to be desired.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

I can't wait for this to become a full series with upgraded trains and cars in the future. Like imagine if you could do passenger runs and stuff like that.

[@darkstone_official_2427]

Things this game could use for a stable build: Track snapping/snapping tool. Undo button. Ability to lay down both ballast and track at the same time. (maybe an upgrade or something in the future? Or a blueprint mode where you lay the outline first and then use a track layer machine to do the work afterwards. :O)

[@BlindingLight]

It better have articulated locomotives at some point

[@datguymiller]

@@BlindingLight it did already at that point, geared locos are considered articulated

[@TeimonKauppa739]

​@@darkstone_official_2427 it has undo button, demolish tool

[@battdriver7553]

I was worried this would be tedious to watch but it was surprisingly satisfying. You two did a great job wrangling the build mechanics into a good looking track. Hope to see more

[@UnPenta]

Yes love how it flows looks tedious but is calming and satisfying can’t wait for more videos and updates to the game it is a little bland looking but I’m sure updates will fix that and it would be nice to see a time laps of the Grindy parts of the game like getting money but keep the videos long we like the casual style of watching and listening

[@kANGaming]

We spent wayyyy too long on it lol

[@lucabota2891]

same

[@Ravenheartless322]

Reason you got less for logs cause the resources need be unloaded onto the platform of the freight depot or roll into it. Some of the logs landed on road bed didnt roll and didnt count and de spawned as lost load. Need move tracks closer to platform. Also other locations will require supplies example iron mine need wooden beams made by saw mill to use to surrport mining tunnels and to generate iron ore. To get beams you need take logs from lumber camp to saw mill.

[@Dozav7]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Ravenheartless322]

@@Dozav7 yea there a log or bigger unload hit box on both side of cars that drops products from air and it's looking for wood platform to drop on. if it detect ground it de-spawn count as if you lost the load.

[@JaneDoe-dg1gv]

when starting on real steam locomotives, the reverser is set to full and power added slowly with the regulator. As speed is built up the regulator is left open and the reverser slowly backed off to control engine speed. Limiting engine speed with the reverser allows selecting between power and efficiency.

[@Dozav7]

Thanks for this!

[@JaneDoe-dg1gv]

@@Dozav7 your welcome. In the second video, Kan said it was supposed to be a railroad from the early days of steam; It clicked in my head why the reverser wasn't acting like normal. Back then, the reverser only selected between full forward or full reverse so the game not letting you do much between forward, neutral, and reverse is historically accurate.

[@justingallagher2480]

Thanks, I was about to comment this but I did not know about early steam not being able to set the reverse (cutoff) to an intermediate state

[@colbyjack4216]

Would love to see a series with a larger group. Looks great

[@Lime_dragon_original]

This one video made me the person I am today. I would not have known my love for trains if it weren't for this one video, though I'm sad to see the series is ending I will always remember it as one of the best parts of my life. thank you for all my memories of this game and the ones that are to come! Thank you Kan thank you.

[@tylercdl3541]

Howdy, Railroads Online! Dev/Modeler/PR guy here. Thanks for checking out our game. We have a lot planned and coming to RO!. I'd like to offer myself up for any question you would have as well as say that the official Dev Stream VODs are up on my channel. If you would like to hop on a video with us or have us join you we would love the chance. Once again Thanks - Tyler C./TylerCDL

[@hunterfields2106]

I definitely want more of this game. I might have to get this one soon.

[@BaileyChap]

Quick suggestion, make a wye to turn the engine at the lumber yard end, so you can run around your train while it's loading, also consider getting some people in the server to work the engines so you can make more money. (patreon supporters perhaps?)

[@jacobbaker3746]

The best thing of please do not stop playing this

[@theinternetguy33]

I'm not a guy that is generally interested in trains, but I'm buying this game RIGHT NOW

[@Javious_Rex]

Logs earn you $10 each, your track at the freight house is too far from the dock and the logs are not falling into the sell trigger. Any selling location the tracks need to be close, the loading stations need to be like your freight house tracks to avoid dropping freight beyond the car.

[@snickle1980]

Are the logs just disappearing? if you unload them too far away , do they just disappear?

[@Javious_Rex]

@@snickle1980 Yes, you can open the P menu before unloading a car and watch your money increase by 10 for every log that is sold. If you unload a full trailer of 6 and don't get 60 then your track is too far away and all of the logs aren't hitting the trigger.

[@stephenbanner877]

What else gos on the map/ world

[@stephenbanner877]

Needs more to the game should be get the logs and mine to improve the environment make more money too

[@stephenbanner877]

Just a train running round a track collecting things isn't enuf for me not saying others won't like it and great idea will have potential but needs more really

[@Justawastedsoul]

Definitely enjoyed it, good to see someone who's actually mastering what they doing.. Thought u might need to know : u can actually get out of loco without it stopping, for that you have to be using the first person controls.. Wich mean u drag manually every control inside the loco, brakes regulator etc.. And if you guys build a track to sawmill it will give you more money. Can't wait to see more

[@journeyoframa2631]

in a game like this, you can played with more ppl. ask your fan to join in building together, or ask other ppl like kosmo, moonbo or other.

[@PandaChan6876]

Sux I'm to broke Xd oh swell

[@GimbleOnDew]

34$ is to much to spend so much time laying track that has a horrible UI. Then the train UI is also horrible. Derail Valley is better in ever aspect

[@abuBrachiosaurus]

@@GimbleOnDew This is a sandbox game, derail valley isn't

[@marioxlr8451]

Imagine gathering 30 people, and make it like irl, with tasks, 4 players are tree logging cutters, 5 are miners, and so one. Is amazing

[@dakotaleker2885]

Actually, most logging trains worked the same way in both directions! So you can run betsy however witch way you want! Love the gameplay, guys, keep it up!

[@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447]

You need about 100 pound of steam to start. Also that engine is based off a porter locomotive

[@Tschuschka_Ichwillitsch]

We want more of this… more

[@GP30_Foamer]

It was this video that started it all. Watching this almost a year later brought back so much nostalgia for me. I’ve been watching this series since the very beginning.

[@Thegamingrobot1358]

As someone who has a bit of experience building a railway (modded minecraft) if you want the loco to be pulling the wagons both ways building a loop at both the depot and the logging yard would allow you to run round the train giving you more stopping power coming back to the depot and more pulling power up to the camp creating one of these loops at the depot platform might also help and save track and tight turns. Great video though an entirely original concept would love to see a British steam version of this game.

[@theweldingpanzer4841]

This is so cool looking! please do more videos of this game!

[@StewPedassle]

22:00 "Might need to straighten it up" as the train wiggling it's hind end down the tracks like it's walking in high heels

[@Friendly_Neighborhood_Dozer]

I think it would be really helpful if there where rails that can’t curve, so that there are straight rails and curvable rails

[@MegaHarvickFan29]

You can actually do that. You toggle between straight and curve track laying using the left alt key

[@LouisMcNabb]

Honestly this game is great. Please tell me that you will make more videos on this!

[@LaserAngel]

PLEASE keep doing videos of this game!

[@g.s.863]

kAN! I have a train driving tip for you! In real life, the reverser on a train works like the transmission on a car. On a train, max power is the reverser full forward. If you want more speed, you can dial back the reverser to almost the neutral point. Although, depending on the realism of the game, this might not be modeled.

[@wring7518]

The reverser only determines the direction the train goes in the throttle determines the speed of the engine

[@g.s.863]

@@wring7518 At least in real life, the reverser determines the power:speed ratio (farther from the center is more power, closer to the center is more speed). Like I said, I'm not sure if this is simulated in-game.

[@wring7518]

@@g.s.863 in real life the reverser only has 3 points of action Forward Neutral and Reverse and the throttle on the engine determines how much power it uses dependent on the gear you're in.

[@g.s.863]

@@wring7518 My apologies. I didn't realize the reverser in game was a reversing lever as opposed to a screw reverser, which allows you to alter the cutoff. I also didn't realize you were referring to a diesel locomotive which uses a transmission. Have a nice day!

[@xiphido]

So...... Kan the employer, made $90, and Dapper the employee, made $120??? Seems legit to me. XD

[@dylandreisbach1986]

You need to show more of the rail making process. Make it a longer commentary series where you guys talk while expanding your empire.

[@Anastas1786]

I'm pretty new to trains, but I'm _sure_ the track layers of the 1800s must've had _some_ kind of tool to help them make sure they were laying them straight. Even just a couple chains pinned to the ballast (groundwork) piles would've helped.

[@MegaHarvickFan29]

I think the issue you are having with the inconsistent pricing of the logs is due to how far away the track is from the platform. In other words, some of the logs aren't being registered as delivered. I would move the track so that the ties are just shy of touching the base of the platform. You should be getting $10 per log.

[@benfisher3695]

Absolutely love it and I really would love to see a long running series of this game!

[@Drakm9685]

Nice vid, I'm hoping to see more of this in the future

[@thomasnorton2695]

kAN: "Watching the track is mesmerizing" Me: *double vision engage* "he's right"

[@13thBear]

I enjoy model trains but this seems even more fun because you have to simulate actually operating the locos and the turn-outs! Building and laying track is a plus as well as engineering your expansions. I will have to check out buying this game and I hope my computer will run it. Good job! Keep playing and I'll keep watching.

or you can make a run around track to so its like a small siding

[@hammerman199374]

I live in NW Washington State. Nearby up in the mountains there's an old ghost town that used to be a coal mining town called Monte Cristo. They had a railway that connected to the mainlines North of Seattle. You now have to hike in to it, but there are still some old buildings and artifacts left including a turntable for the train. The rails are gone, but the superstructure is still there.

To make perfect straight lines use the crossing piece, lay 4 in a row, delete the middle 2 and use the normal track to connect the 2 crossings, rinse and repeat. It's time consuming, but but you get perfectly straight lines the first time and probably takes less time than redoing sections over and over.

[@MegaHarvickFan29]

You can actually toggle between curved and straight track laying using the left alt key

[@Javious_Rex]

@@MegaHarvickFan29 I use that too, but I sometimes have trouble with the first piece you attach that you can't lock straight and I have been doing quite a bit of parallel track lately and the crossings are the best way I have found to keep my lines parallel.
