[@specialopsdave]

I use 7 exosuits in my games, as I run significantly faster than a car's top speed on nuclear fuel. I still use trains for extraordinary distances though. This makes me think, the devs should add a bullet train to the game, as the shortest distance I would consider using a train for is a 2 minute ride. Perhaps it would consume electricity from the tracks (an enormous amount, to make up for how much fuel it would take for a loco to go fast), and have significantly lower cargo capability than the locomotive.

[@edomeindertsma6669]

"consume electricity from the tracks" Yes the should add electric locomotives and electrified tracks to the game. Electrified tracks shock the player when they walk over them, potentially killing them in one go.

[@andrewche4066]

Suggestion for follow-up videos: * Walking speed on the different types of pavement and concrete, but without belts. * Driving speed of cars (and tanks) *on dirt *on pavements and belts *on pavements only *on belts only. * Distance until a nuclear fuel powered train and a coal powered train overtake all the other modes. * Walking speed over spitter acid.

[@speedwagonoverheaven9716]

With my modded armor I was going so fast I went trough walls lol

[@Templarfreak]

Yeah, Factorio's movement is fairly straight-forward. X+Speed if A is being held. X-Speed if D is being held. Y+Speed if W is being held. Y-Speed if S is being held. You'd think you might need special-case logic to handle not going faster than your actual speed in diagonals, but you actually don't. You onlu need that for certain things, like for instance if your game is isometric (Which Factorio is not). What's happening is say an object is at X = 100. Player is at X = 0. And their speed is 99. So, by +speed to their X one time, they'll end up just a smidge to the left of the object, and then get pushed back in the direction they came from. But if the player's speed is say, 101, they now get pushed to the right. If their speed is 200, they skip by it completely because that object doesn't act upon the player to move them back, since the player never comes in contact with it at all. Walking through things could be easily solved, there's a few different ways you can go about it. But it's just unnecessary for the vanilla game. One way is to have a "depth" image rendered, which just makes pathable tiles 1 color and unpathable tiles another. Then draw a transparent line from where the player is to where they would move, and if at any point that line's color is different from the color you rendered it in then move them to that X/Y position instead of where they would have moved to. This is a bit of a GPU-heavy implementation, though. But the lower-resolution you render these images in, the faster it'll be but the less precision you will have, and it could probably be done better, but that's just one idea I had off the top of my head.

[@speedwagonoverheaven9716]

Yeah I know, I program games myself. I solved this problem in my creations.

[@Templarfreak]

a'ight, well, you probably know way more then me. I just wanted some kind of explanation here in case anybody comes to the comments, sees this, and wonders what's going on. xD

[@adrianjenkins58]

[@Acid_Burn9]

that speed of sound you mentioned is only applied at sea level altitude. the higher we go up, the thinner becomes the atmosphere and the speed of sound reduces significantly. not like it changes something in the video, but its good to know.

The speed of sound is also faster in solids and in water.

what if you were entering and exiting trains diagonally? When you calculated the speed of that mode of transport, you did not take into account the movement on the y axis. if you arrange the trains so that they move you north-west, then you could measure the y component too
