The Kirby Paul is the one true train. All others are mere imitations of the divine form Paul offers.

[@BobMcBobJr]

Having multiple turns in the same direction (or a 90 degree turn) imposes a speed limit on the train with increasing penalties the closer the turns are to each other. The most severe speed limit is on a 90 degree turn which sets the train's max speed to 61kph. The Kirby Paul tank's max speed is 64kph. Basically, the Kirby is so slow it is immune to turns.

[@chrisstropoli]

I really liked your vocal delivery and I will watch the fuck out of "pick a seemingly random restriction in openttd that makes life pain" videos like this if you make more.

[@FurryFailure]

The stubbornness of Kirby P. reminds me of the shortline near my place that flatout refuses to retire a locomotive built in 1963 despite it actively falling apart as it runs, and despite the fact they own 3 new locomotives now lmao

[@grahamturner2640]

Challenge ideas: Boats only: you can only transport cargo by boat, and this challenge is even harder if you’re playing in a client where boars can’t collide (e.g., JGRPP). All Is Connected: by the game’s end date, you must have vehicles picking up/dropping off cargo at every industry, and all towns are connected to the network. Single Mainline Only: all train routes must connect to a single mainline.

[@ChuggersLR]

I've been considering a boat run, this would definitely make it more interesting! Especially with the recent boat update, been using them a lot more in regular gameplay.

[@bearlytamedmodels]

Is... Is single mainline and everything connected not how most people play already? Is this just me? Is this just fantasy?

[@cpufreak101]

In default OpenTTD there's a game AI called ShipAI that only uses ships, and it is *brutal* to play against. It will win

[@BobMcBobJr]

@@bearlytamedmodels In my most recent game, I was playing on a 4kx4k map and built a single mainline goin from on corner of the map to the other and connected everything to it. It ended up being 12 lanes wide before I gave up.

Loving the editing, can definitely tell the difference between this and your first episode. Personally I prefer a series split into episodes over a single video of a save, but this was still a great watch. Keep up the good work mate!

[@ChuggersLR]

Thank you! And I see where you're coming from, I would like to get another series going at some point. Still trying to iron out the kinks though, at a micro-scale a lot of the tasks get kind of repetitive, which imo gets doubled when it's in an episodic format. Lots of stuff on the idea board right now though.

[@medivalone]

​@@ChuggersLR maybe in an episodic format, you could cover what changes you're making at a higher level (not necessarily going to each junction and explaining each rail) and then take a section to go really into the weeds on a single concept. So it's a series update and a tutorial all in one video?

[@hellabisys]

Naming your hubs weirdly made the network a lot easier to internalise and follow as a viewer, good job getting me attached to these bowls of metal spaghetti (Charles was my favourite)

[@oivato2279]

[@CalculusWarrior]

Love your videos, you have a great way of explaining your process! I'd love to see an in-depth junction guide, as well as how the overall network is laid out, the difference between mainline/sideline still confuses me...

[@AustralianCapitalist]

Oh my good there’s openttd challenge vids, what a glorious day

[@PolarTrance]

This was a fun watch, exactly the type of OpenTTD videos I want to see more of (the episodic format was nice too). Would be fun to see other challenges like high inflation + high cost + high maintenance, always struggled with that myself.

[@LeeSpork]

I believe the original Transport Tycoon had an even worse train, but sadly it was removed in Transport Tycoon Deluxe with its start year change from 1930 to 1950. I'm not sure if there is any way to get those removed vehicles back in OpenTTD?

[@ChuggersLR]

Wow, wasn't aware of that train, just looked it up and it is a decent bit slower. I'm not entirely sure if a GRF exists to reimplement them, I did a bit of searching with no luck. I'll ask around and see if anyone is aware of one.

[@sylvaintasiaux6690]

[@ChuggersLR]

[@netfox9855]

NIKOO!!!

[@LESAORAS]

[@medivalone]

Here's a fun question: what's faster, a Kirby Paul traveling at full speed or a bunch of them doing a cursed relay by dropping cargo at transfer stations that are spread out and joined together, effectively teleporting cargo from one train to the other down the line? Another related cursed idea: Instead of building junction, keep each part of the network isolated, and use transfer stations as junctions so cargo must be handed off to another train when a side line meets a main line.

[@ChuggersLR]

You know, I always figured most regularly-running trains would be faster than teleporting, but the kirby paul probably definitely is slower than teleporting haha. I've got some big ideas for a "no turning" game, that would employ transfer stations in the absence of turns/junctions, still in the planning phase though

[@LordOOTFD]

The only winner here is the manufacturer of Kirby Paul locomotives.

imagine in real life they used only the switcher locomotives which kpt is trying to be although there's no switching or shunting in this game, trains don't collect wagons, you just buy them, maybe in future someone would make this feature

[@ChuggersLR]

I have heard of a shunting patch existing a long time ago, but it was very buggy. Would be cool to see it remade in an updated version

[@tr3ki295]

@@ChuggersLR there was a mechanic of locos collecting certain wagons of goods if they are on a station and train could consist a bunch of random wagons just like in real life. It was in Railroad Tycoon 3, but the bad thing was that a train could have length of 8 wagons only

[@LeeSpork]

Truly awesome video! How do you do those cinematic shots with the different perspective?

[@ChuggersLR]

It's a program I made that converts an exported heightmap to a 3D mesh, then projects an exported map screenshot onto it to mimic the graphics. There's no "real" functionality to it (no trains, other entities, etc) though I am slowly adding more to it to hopefully mirror the game a little better. Not sure if I'll ever release it publicly though, at the moment its very geared towards gathering cinematics for these videos and is very annoying to use

[@Pystro]

What's with your "tunnel under the depot" style of overflow? Isn't the speed of a double 45° turn the same as the speed of a train driving into/out of a depot? Also, why did you choose a train length of 7? Any reason for that number in particular or just because it feels about right?

[@ChuggersLR]

The extended tracks on the tunnel overflow give a bit more space for waiting trains, though the design could be a lot better. Overflows are definitely a weak spot for me. I probably should have played to the strengths of the kirby paul and done some tight-turn shenanigans to save space though. I did a fair amount of testing with train lengths and engine counts before starting the save, I wanted something longer but not so long that building to a large scale would get annoying (needing more space for waiting bays, as an example). 7-length ended up being a lucky sweet spot, all things considered.
