Now that's what I call a freight hub! Transport Fever 2 Tour

[@ColonelScottMorris]

Video was great up until he turned autosave off. Lost a certain something after that. Autosaving, mainly.

[@Tsass0]

and my coffee, i was planning on going to make one the next it popped up to say Hi

[@nick_thompson]

Glad you liked the oil rig mod i made, there are some newer variants of it (one of which is absolutely huge),and also a bouy dock mod i made which is a bit more realistic than the full floating dock i originally put out with the first oil rig. Anyway, thanks for mentioning it in the video and i cant wait for the next series!

[@johnscott107]

It is quite difficult to know how/where to place the dock, as it doesnt give an indication if its connected. Just a thought. Thanks for the mod.

[@nick_thompson]

@@johnscott107 it should show you the connection tendrils (little grey boxes with kind of arrows), it does for me at least. I guess i should check if that has changed with vulkan update

[@johnscott107]

@@nick_thompson i can see them on the dock, but cant see where they go onto the rig, for instance if i click on a lorry depot, it will highlight what its connected to. can get it to work, just takes a bit of guesswork sometimes.

What I think I liked the most was that much of the 4 wide track was absolutely flat and straight. Some bits had a wiggle but were still flat. And the track beds themselves looked nice...

My appreciation. I am very impressed with the clear structure of the map. I also really like the neat laying of the tracks. I hope one of my maps will look this good one day.

[@shirleyelrick748]

This is so....good. Thanks Col for spotting it and thanks John for building it. I have an old PC, which was top end when first assembled. I had to give up on cities skylines, and I miss Biffa no end. This loaded fine. I deleted some trees. It is very watchable. Well worth the effort in getting and loading the mods. I was even able to replace the missing bridges without ruining the overall look.

Yes, there are a few spots around the map where you can sit and trainspot all day long :)

Do you want fries with that sir? :) Another great map, really nice to see so many great liveries and locos. Something hit me on the approach to Edinburgh at the end, those bridges felt so authentic, the way they come together and head in towards the city. It felt like somewhere I have been before, even though it is an abstract design, you can imagine something like this really exists. Great design and attention to detail.

[@johngio69]

Fantastic detailing by John. Is the Save Game for this available anywhere?

[@PotatoGming]

Great video. A very organized naming. Maybe you can make a video to share how are you naming your lines.

[@sirophic]

If your pc is struggling with this save I doubt mine would even load it lol. It'd be great if John could share his pc specs so we have something to aim for. I'm looking to upgrade my pc towards the end of this year and a spec that will run this would run anything, which is what I'm aiming towards. This is an amazing build, such attention to detail and the patience that's gone into this far exceeds my limits..

[@peterthecoderd.1210]

I am envious of the bridges and tunnels. Especially when building bridges, I can't get them to look right. Most go far too high for their situation, and the game is always complaining of collisions when they're at a decent height. You can say 'hi' to the devil in my tunnels. How is it done?

[@MrRockwellrob]

[@crownjules1]

The next iteration of train game really needs to include cargo trains dropping off or picking up different hauls. That would mean for actual sidings. Having one engine stuck on the same wagon config the entire time is a flaw that really irks me. We had that in Railroad Tycoon in 1990!

The real question in all of this: Will the algorithm like the Colonel's new evil scheme to engage the audience so much with the end commentary that they miss the scrolly text, then rewind to read the wholesome (questionable :P ) content in said scrolly text, thereby contributing to the view time and perceived engagement in the video as a whole... It's an idea so crazy, it just might work! Now... back to the cone of silence we go to continue the scheming... ;) Great to see you back in TF2 and looking forward to whatever the new ideas produce!

It was using Vulcan. It did run poorly, but I didn't do a comparison so no idea what the impact is...
