Would you like to see an updated train guide for update 8?

[@thunderbolt4494]

Yes. :)

[@John-pz1zx]

Yes please

[@Oxibase]

Absolutely.

[@kiabrste2961]

Yep

[@deanzap3658]

One click factories 🎉 made all the others and wowee they make life easy

[@wyntje83]

man, once you have a good rail setup, it's such a live saver. it is just SO time consuming to build. I'd love to see a guide on how to build something workable with some quick but semi realistic blueprints and tips on how to build a modular setup. e.g. main double rail system through the map with branches off the main line for loading/unloading activities.

[@H3xx99]

Lumen also causes emmissive signs to actually cast colored light a short distance, so having guide lights along walk ways will help in darkness.

[@SirLANsalot]

its just easier to build with the concrete foundation from the start, instead of changing it later. Since the Concrete foundation only needs...well...Concrete instead of also needing plates. Also in U8, the Covered Concrete foundations are stunning with their reflections being even better then before, and even better still with Lumen.

[@joaosapo297]

i find it really interesting that once a more realistic light engine gets introduced all the players start building completly differently from what they had been doing. Now players are thinking how can i get more light in the building.

[@TotalXclipse]

This was built prior to lumen but I've always found ways to add extra lighting. Just been cautious about using too many signs 😅

[@thegoodolddayz6183]

I would scrap the monorail and just have 2 way train tracks. After or before each station, make a track round-a-bout so that trains can circle back to their returning destination quicker. Ive been working on a train network for months now on my save and I really cannot wait to show you all what ive actually done, but its a long way off as im creating a massive master piece of a level. I would also recommend not having such sharp bends. I do my bends very gentle by rotating a foundation by 5 degree's, then add 4 extra foundations along from that rotated foundation then repeat. You get a longer curve and it feels a bit more normal for trains since they do about 150 km/h.

[@nictolopy9473]

If it’s a monorail, you can’t go wrong with naming the station Brockway, Ogdenville, or North Haverbrook….

[@geemcd]

That bit where the trains go in... I'd call it the "entrance" x

[@gagedickinson3665]

I've got 1300 Hours into this game in a solo world which I'm pretty proud of (having learn a major amount from your videos) but I always feel like my world is far inferior to yours! So clean! Love it!

[@Seedzification]

Good guy streamer showcasing how to do his blueprints 👍, instead of selling them to patreons like another streamer would.

[@FastTquick]

Your train lines look so simple to build, and the supports look really good while having simple and easy designs to learn. My biggest issue with them is that your turns are too short and the turn tracks looks really goofy without the steel frame highlights. I’m always a fan of train lines with long, gradual curves.

[@TotalXclipse]

Long gradual turns look great but are more time consuming to make it depends on how much time you have to spend on them

[@Zhab80]

@@TotalXclipse I think the issue is that real life trains do not handle sharp curves well. It is all about how much realism you want (or can be bothered) to include in your architecture. Right now I'm focused on learning the game, so I'm perfectly happy with floating sky stuff.

[@Bossdingo32Gaming]

colour seems fine to me, it looks cool, keep up the awesome work xclipse

[@almancoolguy]

I really enjoyed the video, I'm also having so much fun perfecting spaces and finding new ways to interact with our building blocks :) Have fun TX!

[@MalReaver]

thank you! I am struggling with getting my curves right and even straight lines with the tracks can be hard. Going to do some blueprints!

[@CRCinAU]

Yeah - the curves are always a pain in the ass - and I can never get them right :(

[@jasenmorin4936]

Deleting blueprints on the map editor removes the pieces but it does not remove the binding box. If you try to build other blue prints near the ones you deleted you will encounter issues.

[@Ecliptor.]

@@ProgNoizesB surely people don't just pay the patreon for the blueprints...

[@scooterchito7213]

your work is amazing !!!!

[@XadeGrimm]

so simple yet elegant

[@laughingcloud3516]

one thing you can try when update 8 drops is integrating a road into you monorail. i have a blueprint for a road that has a monorail running on a track elevated slightly above the center of the road

[@TotalXclipse]

Would like to do something with a highway....

[@nagisaphantom6665]

Nice video editing! Got my sub for sure :p

[@theprofessor392]

You should build snapping points at the top of your curves and ramps, it’s much easier than snapping at the bottom

[@PronetoPlayYT]

Dude, thanks for the Video! I just created a railway blueprint myself yesterday and was wondering why the flip my train does not ride on it. It just cannot snap… Also love the monorail idea for the pioneer! Regarding Station Color: I like the tunnels being pitch black and maybe so small so that a train barely fits through, so it has this subway feeling. Also maybe have the concrete wall of the Station itself coated as well, as the floor is? Could give it a shining and modern look.

[@flare242]

I can't even watch these anymore. I'm still mourning my intricate train network that covered most of the map. That went out of the window thanks to update 3. I did start from scratch and tried to rebuild, but IT WAS NEVER THE SAME... COFFEE STAIN!!! YOU MURDERERS!!!

[@TotalXclipse]

I'm expecting another world Kull at 1.0

[@ae_alex]

Recently found your channel. Loving your videos. What did you use for the lights on this station? I'm thinking the blank signs with highs light emission, but I'm wondering if there are alternatives you might suggest that dont require a lot of quartz.

[@TotalXclipse]

In the station I used actual lights and also skylights. But in the main I use signs for my other builds

[@Arakij11]

9:28 got me laughing so hard i havent laughed like that in a while thank you

[@TotalXclipse]

Couldn't believe I didn't notice the issue before hand :D

[@UKSparhawk]

Sooo ive got all your BP and they are truly magical for someone who have zero creativity. I am trying to make a ramp for your 2 way railtrack but am stuck, is there any way to make the road barriers snap to a slope/ramp?

[@H3xx99]

Fyi, those crates in the wall are the reason I set Concrete/ asphalt to my default materials. It's cheapest bulding material, requiring only cement.

[@Locomotor1979]

lol that station name is from the netherlands island city between roosendaal and Rotterdam aka Dordrecht

[@swiftlyez]

Which mod are you using to build the monorail?

[@magburner]

It is as if you have become less skilled at designing railway lines. I saw a guide you did a long time ago with curved rails, and I was very impressed. I altered you technique ever so slightly, and I managed to create beautiful sweeping curves. Seeing this video, I was excited to learn something new, I thought that you would be far past anything I could make, but your railway curves follow obtuse angles, your designs looks good, but the techniques in laying the lines is very basic.

[@KingmanRoss]

O,I see what you did.(newbie here) you made a blueprint(or built it and THEN made that a blueprint? let me know if that is correct) and then assembled that into the finished track.??The more I watch the more I am amazed with this game.Also,being update 8 with the unreal 5 engine,the more I am amazed my rig can handle it on "High" settings.

[@nukerkid105]

The likelihood of me being able to play satisfactory is high unlikely, but i still like to watch the tutorials

[@stefanknauer7180]

What is the Monorail for? it can just ride on the normal train track, no?

[@TotalXclipse]

Stops me hitting automated trains on the track

[@lukaslenzi7904]

Hey, maybe I am just dumb or so. I cannot connect the blueprints. If I put one foundation, I cannot connect the next one to the foundation before. I don´t know...

[@erickthome3008]

Name of Main Station: "Lizzard Doggo" or only "Doggo Station".. Srry, i love this alien!

[@gs-gaming1911]

The name of the Train should be called "Planet Train"

[@Keldrath]

This dudes like Satisfactory's Bob Ross

[@Director_K1]

you're like bob ross but if he built factories

[@TheBboyEnergy]

what was the point of the monorail annyways I dont understand

[@AlexGreen1991]

Haven't played in a while. Is that all vanilla or is the game modded? 1:15

[@TotalXclipse]

Everything built is vanilla

[@hand587]

​@@TotalXclipse How did you make the lights? Are those unlockable or are they signs that are set to light one colour or something?

[@ZamalamaDingDong]

How can you like build soo Dame good. When i Build, i am always rushing tiers ahha

[@ATippingBarn]

Meanwhile I can never seem to make a straight track.

[@mukulvdhiman]

Have the stations in the theme of the London underground

[@luftwolf7405]

Dirty and full of beggars? xD

Arent you in the experimental for update 8? Shouldn't you have the acess to the new features.?

[@sanitarysanchez]

i have no idea how to make the track foundations turn

Full moon, half moon, TotalXclipse

[@elliottpeterson5021]

Do you use mods or creative mode?

No creative mode - I use mods so that it's always daylight and can fly for recording ☺️

I believe one of the programmers was Dutch. Also, the first ten stations have pre-programmed names four of which are from the Netherlands.

All the clipping in your builds/world is horrible

Just watched all the way through - yeah, I'm a little late. But those flying views are so helpful. Currently working on a build and it's clear I need some additional planning 🫣😁

[@KingmanRoss]

So,what your doing is making blueprints to put those together to make the finished product,like what happens in a lot of games,but this game actually starts a few steps >>Before>Finished
