I'm pretty sure the reason why the coocoo clock didn't work is that it wasn't powered with rotational force.

[@yeah_boi321]

Either this or because of the game rule for stopping time progressing

[@rileyexistent8738]

@@rileyexistent8738 Correct. It just wasn't powered. If it had some rotation it would work fine.

I appreciate that they kept the minecart contraptions the same, separate from the trains. They both defiantly have their own use cases, as the big rail network is very static for efficiency reasons.

The thing i love most about the trains is they can run in unloaded chunks, which is something ive never seen before from a train mod. usually they will require chunk loaders, but this is so much more elegant for long distance travel.

[@thekingoffailure9967]

This is a game changer for train infrastructure. No longer will teleporters be the only reasonable option

[@ForgeofAule]

The new glue changes should be game-changing. It seems they aren't using entities anymore which would theoretically mean large moving creations do not lag anywhere near as much as they used to.

[@juh9870_projects]

Afaik, they are still entities, but now instead of using like 50 of them to glue a contraption, you only use one or two, so much less lag

[@venom_ftw9316]

It's my favourite part of the update

[@TanderFalkor]

Looks like they still use entities, but now one entity can hande a rectangle area instad of just two blocks. Not a fan of this change, IMO it doesn't change anythying significantly.

[@Manavine]

you can even do it with creepers. Still explodes and uh, how to get it in is another question entirely.

[@peterlewis2178]

By the way, it's a mod, not a mod pack. I see this distinction missed by a lot of people when regarding large scale mods. Basically, a mod pack is when someone combines a bunch of separate mods into one big overhaul, whereas with a mod, everything is created by a single person or team. Large scale mods like Create tend to be much better than mod packs, because mod packs mix and match many different creators' visions, and tend to have some inconsistencies or mild incompatibilities.

[@TheREALBOJACK]

@@peterlewis2178 You're right. Not sure why I said modpack. I guess I was mixing it up with Above and Beyond, or something. 😅

[@leritykay8911]

My first idea with writing display information to a book, is to create a log of your factory. Like, the information gets written from conveyors and funnels and such, and every minecraft day, at midnight, the page turns. So if you have a remote automatic factory, you can quickly glance through the log to see if everything is in order.

[@helleye311]

Now you just need ore deposits and you can play factorio in Minecraft! As an avid factorio fan, I love the new create trains. Work exactly like I'd want them to. Just need to play around and see if the scheduling table will get messy when you have 50+ different stations, that would be a bummer, the interface is very minecrafty but not really too practical for longer lists it seems.

[@lechking941]

what was that one create mod that did just that ? shrugs

[@suddenlysarablog]

Honestly when I first saw this update, my immediate thought was "I'd love to play a modpack with just Create and Immersive Engineering in it." Imagine setting up excavators in distant ore deposits, running powerlines to them, and then having them deposit their ore in train depots to be shipped back to your base for processing. It's bringing back Railcraft, only 10x better!

[@lechking941]

@@suddenlysarablog and there is only a handfull of things create dont got that immisive does also theres the one mod allowing power generation for create so immserive can be powered in the same powerplants

[@BlazeMakesGames]

to be fair you can basically create an ore deposit since Create has ways to build machines that generate things like infinite stone, iron, gold, etc.

[@RustyNova]

Create devs really made the best railway builder in my opinion. It's as powerful as factorio's, and much easier to deal with than satisfactory in a 3D environement. Signals and stations being away from the rail is also perfect for thight spaces. Now I want to make my childhood dream of a train world~

[@JonatanGronoset]

I found out about this mod a few days ago, and I love seeing all this. One change I wish they did was to allow the steam engine and whistle to be placed elsewhere and connected with pipes. It would allow players to make more diverse factory builds like having a separate boiler house with just one huge boiler and the engine or multiple engines placed around the factory building, instead of having to build several boiler and engine units that all need fuel and water.

[@stix3179]

Thats actually a really good idea!

[@T4ntalos]

Probably coming in the next few updates

[@WellingtonRandomNumbers]

23:57 I think the cuckoo clock also has to be powered edit: just tested it, yes it has

[@jrhrbnf-zo5ws]

That because he doesn’t use the clock very often so he don’t know how to use it

[@wazbat1]

Yeah I'm surprised he didn't power the clock haha

[@cob2032]

I think its also because he had the gamerule of doDaylightCycle false, so it can't actually calculate the time

[@WellingtonRandomNumbers]

@@cob2032 nah, when I tested it it was also set to false and it worked, the time was just stopped

[@KarolOfGutovo]

A thing I started testing with trains is naming a few stations the same name. It seems that the train will choose any station of specified name, which means you can have multiple trains going to one station to enter it at once. This works good when you place the stations in places that will ensure that all like-named stations can do the same things, I.e. all 3 "kranowo cargo" stations have an item interface 10, 18 and 26 blocks from the station block, and fluid interfaces at 40, 54 and 68 blocks from the station block. This ensures that no matter which specific station the train chooses the same thing will happen to it.

[@percycreeper2733]

Train doors also open automatically once the train is at a station :)

btw the rose quartz lamps also output a redstone signal when on, so they can be used as a super useful restsone component!

[@ThatTonybo]

So happy you're back :) I personally love trains the most, their uses for advanced players are crazy I'm sure. Though they're limited for less technical players - like myself - and especially in small worlds they're even less useful with how big the tracks are. Display boards are fun but they are limited by design - can't put two things on a single line dynamically. Excited to see where these updates take the mod though. FYI, you can also use a blaze burner for your train's driver, it looks quite cute :)

Great video, especially on the new steam engines. Not sure if you noticed, but you can get 65,536 su out of the smaller 2x2 being 4 tall, plus using 4 steam engines connected together supported by 1 water pump. This would require 4 blaze burners and a mechanical arm to feed charcoal to each blaze. Prime the water pump with a hand crank, then let the system continue to pump water. It takes about 9 hand cranks to prime, at least in my testing of the new engine. Twice the older blast furnace setup' for just a starting configuration. I learned quite a bit from your video. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

[@MrBreakLP]

One think you could do with the lectern display compatibility is that you can have the book as a sort of ledger, and since it can be automatically updated, it will always be acurate

[@Crimnox_Cinder]

as soon as i saw the new boilers, my heart skipped a beat, i may have my MASSIVE love for nuclear power, but steam power will always hold a special place in my heart for just how good it is while being cheap and reliable. plus those piston animations! makes me dram of a world filled with steam. i dont think i heard any but with the sounds from the trains i can only guess that they have special sounds relating to steam and pressure venting. ASMR for an industrialist.

[@Siks7Ate9]

one thing you would be able to do with the display link is updating a lectern. unless I'm mistaken the redstone controller/link (I forgot the name of it) will output different signals depending on the page of a lectern. this means that you could possibly automate allot of things depending if it turns to the page the item is already written on. you could automate a crafting setup by having a list of items on particular pages, if all of those pages are on, items are routed to point A.

I found that a second way (other than the nixie tubes) to display redstone signal strengths is using a target block, because the board seems to just read the power level of the target block, regardless of if it came from shooting the target block with an arrow or not. This can be useful since target blocks redirect redstone (I'm unsure if nixie tubes do this) and are solid blocks, plus maybe you already happen to have a target block in the right place
