Thanks for the kind words that came on the longer uncut version of this stream on Twitch. I have bad anxiety and some of the negative reaction to things like trying out the Vtuber avatar can be discouraging for making content and trying new things. Always gonna do my best and I hope that even if some of my content isn't for everyone that there's still plenty here to enjoy. The kind words mean a lot

[@skeletonhorse_person]

im proud of you for trying different things for your content !! the past year the notification of your new videos legitimately brightened my days even if i feel like shit, good luck man!

[@callmefox630]

I feel like... *everybody* might be overreacting a little bit to the Irish Vtuber Model thing. Feel free to use the Vtuber model again whenever you feel like not using your face, Dan. You paid for it after all.

[@NabilHafidz]

Always love your content, maybe it'll just take a while for everyone to be comfortable with renouncing their flesh

[@unreachable3207]

It’s your content, You choose what goes into your content. We as a audiance have the choice to watch or not to watch, what I’m getting at is that you shouldn’t try too hard to be accepted by the internet❤️ I believe in you and I enjoy watching you regardless of what content you put out as you have a sense of humour and a personality thats interesting and very pleasant, Continue doing what you feel like doing❤️

"Every time Dan does something, someone in chat screams" Basically just describes the RT Game experience

[@davisbowe8668]

As someone who regularly plays this game, I totally feel Dan's pain when it comes to the railroad tiles. Those tiles are the bane of my existence.

[@nicestpancake]

I've personally been infested with rivers. I'd rather the railways than rivers, if only because the rails are better at not looking malformed imho

[@davisbowe8668]

@@nicestpancake I actually don't mind the rivers because they're a bit more flexible with where you can place them. The railroads can only go two ways which really limits what you can do with them.

[@phyrei9953]

Whenever I do custom games I turn those mfs to 0% probability 🙏

[@profquiz1730]

Rt I don’t know if you’ll see this but your video’s always make my days better when I’m upset ❤

aww the rt heart ♥

[@Orc_Savage]

He saw it bro lets go

[@scou.t01]

RT, I wanted to say that you are genuinely one of my favorite creators. Everyday when I look for something to watch you’re one of the channels I go for immediately. I know that your videos will be fun but also relaxing and I just enjoy listening to the shenanigans that you get up to with chat. Take care.

[@STAROFMOURNING]

I love how the game basically forced you to make a rat king like railway system towards the end lmao

[@konumbra]

I actually adore when RT plays these types of games like settlement survival. something about him attempting to rule a group of people and failing miserably is very entertaining

[@karratkake]

Hello RumbleTumble, I know you wont see this, but I just wanted to say that your videos always make me smile, no matter how bad my day has been. You helped me get back into gaming when I was at one of my lowest points, and your videos have given me so much motivation to start getting my life in order. I wont get into it, but around November of last year, my entire life fell apart. My friends left me, I was incredibly depressed, and I was contemplating dropping out of school because I was just so helpless. Your videos got me through that time, and today, I have some of the greatest people in my life, and if it weren't for the laughs you gave me, I probably wouldn't be here. I know content creation can be hard and it takes a toll on your mental health, but I just wanted you to know that through your content, you've helped me and so many other people get out of our depressive episodes and become so much more. So, while I might not have the money to support you, I hope my words mean at least a little to you, and I hope you continue making content that never fails to put a smile on my face :) thank you, RT, truly

[@Ekkran]

As someone who also struggles with anxiety I feel you RT, even the smallest comments can send the spiral going. I hope you're doing a bit better and know that I've gotten a lot of joy and comfort from your videos ever since I found this channel back in 2018. sneding love

[@raflamar4146]

This game started off as so stressful to twitch chat, but towards the end became incredibly chill

[@numbrr]

This stream was torture, glad to be there!

[@Typical_Slayer]

I watched twitch stream for like 20 minutes and my anxiety was through the roof whenever he dealt with a river

[@ltntwafflz9043]

I was silently screaming at him whenever he failed a limited tile quest. Very chill stream though, it was a lot of fun!

[@moronnox5198]

Rt is one of the small amount of people who can make me laugh without caring about anything. Thank you for this, RT.

[@AngelofGrace96]

I love Dan's voice, whether he's being chill or laughing or panicking it still sounds so friendly and nice. Makes every video so fun to watch.

[@EternalGamingNet]

Really glad you tried this game out, it is one of my comfort games. You are always a joy to watch, cam, no cam, vtuber, no vtuber. Your laugh is infectious and all of your hard work is appreciated. Hope you have a lovely birthday weekend. Have extra fun for all of us!

[@_soothsayer_]

Dan is definitely one of my big comfortable streamers, thank you for the endless hours of entertainment my dude

[@MisterAnderson91]

This is the same reaction I had to this game. I don't know what kind of maniac you need to be to find this relaxing but failing to fit everything seemlessly is an absolute nightmare. Also I thought the yellow fields were big chunks of stone for ages.

[@EinFelsbrocken]

So... yellowstone? 🤪

[@sharronperez2739]

Watched the entire uncut stream and loved all of it. It was so good to put on in the background and I felt like my mind was understood, I'm horrible at these types of games and you did better than I ever could. Your videos bring me comfort and I look forward to each on, they've been helping me through rough times. Keep doing the things you enjoy, the haters are vocal but the majority loves your content.

[@nicolemackowiak1290]

This is the exact style of "sure screw it" relaxing chaos I need. You absolutely just convinced me to get this game, so thanks for another great vid

[@vole1441]

Oooh a new game I’m so excited to see what chaos you cause

[@inductivegrunt94]

It's not an RT video without him screwing up immensely. So this is going great!

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

"Dorfromantik" is German, can be translated to "village romanticism", the quaint atmosphere of a village or small town.

[@Ramash440]

RT videos are great to watch when you've had just a bit too much coffee and are starting to detach from reality. It finishes the job and completely severs you from this material plane.

[@thatpoemguy2083]

The editing played up the chaos and despair angle, but this was genuinely a really relaxing stream live, with just as much chill vibes. Oh, and if you read this comment, hope you're doin' good, friendo. Take time for you, you know? That's really what this game is about.

[@OlessanYT]

You did pretty well for your first few games! It gets easier the more you play, but the train tracks are always The Enemy™

[@freddie9314]

Hey RT, i just wanted you to know how much your content means to all of us. I’ve been binging your content all last week when I was sick and it’s really helped me take my mind off everything. Thank you 💚

[@tommykaine9161]

Can't believe how much I was cackling while watching this, something about Dan managing to turn the chillest looking game into anxiety just cracks me the fuck up. Thanks for uploading these to youtube despite the issues you've had with the platform in the recent past, it really makes my day whenever I see a new video update

[@DavidJCobb]

6:07 my first thought on seeing the zoom-out was "i would save that" so seeing the "SAVED" button was oddly satisfying

[@davidinark]

This is the 40-car pileup on the Interstate that you’re driving through the wreckage and it keeps getting worse, but you can’t help but to watch and gawk, hoping things get better. Instead, you end up seeing the worst carnage ever and it changes your very being. It’s like that.

[@nozzzzy]

I have a lot of experience with this game. It's impossible to make a good looking railroad while also maximizing score. A good strategy is to seperate your map into quadrants. One for water, one for rail, one for town and one for farms. Doesn't make for a sensible looking city but it helps with perfect tiles and quests. Keeping rail and water in its own section helps with some of the chaos.

[@edeninhetheden3817]

Im really happy you decided to make this a video on your channel RT! And youre doing great, I love the route youre taking your channel in. Keep experimenti, were on board with you no matter what! ❤

[@chiffaonosu]

Dan really should try Factorio, we need to see the chaos in his mind AND chat

[@silversonome5360]

Oh, this game! I've been wanting to get it so I can share a calming gaming experience with my girlfriend, who mostly knows videogames as either reflex tests or shooters, which are both inaccessible for her as a person with a motor disability. I hope that a game like this can help her see the broader horizon of gaming experiences that makes me excited to have this hobby, and that I definitely want to share with her... Thanks, Daniel, I have been wanting to check this out!

[@codexstudios]

Townscaper is another nice little game in the same lane

[@rhyfu]

if you enjoy this sort of thing i can recommend "islanders" as well.

[@EALoArt]

If it makes you feel any better, I really enjoyed the way your cities went. Like I can understand the feeling of "this isn't perfect" based on it as a game, but there's something really beautiful and sort of realistic about a lot of the "imperfections" in your finished maps. It makes me want to add them to a TTRPG game.

[@reneeluk5574]

Thank you for being my comfort content for years. I am sad I can't always catch the streams but they always make my evening when I can. And the videos help me calm down always. Cam or no cam, vtuber or no vtuber, we are here for your personality. The sense of familiarity of your voice is the most comforting thing for me. But personally, I'm super looking forward to seeing the full vtuber model being used too. Cheers and looking foward to future content!

[@mittensthemagic5519]

I had doubts about how you could possibly make this scuffed… I am truly impressed by your chaos RT

[@Shenorai]

Honestly, the fact that you broke 7k points on your first go around is impressive. NGL, this is one of those games that I tend to play as I'm trying to wind down for bed. It's prolly the soundtrack, but I find it surprisingly relaxing.

[@Thk10188965]

It hurts because last I played every missed perfect was a *failure*, a tile you would never get back. The quests just gave room to make mistakes.

[@jerichooblivion5406]

A train speeds down the railway, its brakes are gone and thus it is unable to stop. Headed in its current direction it will hit a group of five people. However, if you pull the lever for the switching station, you can divert train. The problem is the track appears to have been constructed by a madman and there are about six different levers. Additionally, the team in charge of labeling the levers merely left a sign that reads "We fucking quit." So here are the possible rails the lever will divert the train to: 1: The train will hit a single person instead of five 2: The train will careen into a nearby river 3: The train will careen into a nearby village 4: The train will travel down an unoccupied track 5: The train will make an impossible u-turn and most likely derail 6: The train will careen into an orphanage, animal hospital, hospice care center, and a research facility that is currently looking for the cure to cancer. You only have time to switch one lever, and there is no telling which lever will switch the train to which track. Do you pull a lever?

[@shaesaesheickoes5695]

Giles Corey from the Salem Witch Trials came back to tell RT, "More Wheat!"

I think I saw someone mention a birthday weekend going on, so hope you have a good one with that as well, too!

[@CinnaSwirls]

"If you divert the train on junctions 1, 3, 4, 7. and 8 in the directions left, right, right, left, left, you'll technically kill the fewest people, but you'll kill all the important people that make life easier for the rest of us." "Sir, please, you've lost the whole point of the trolley problem! I just want to pick up wheat and go home!"

This game is a lot of fun! Been playing it for a while and belive me you can forget about those dam railways. They always look messy! BTW in case you missed it in the toutorial, every time a flag shows up you can "close" that field/River/Forest to earn additional tiles. Have fun!
