Thanks

[@javicorfu]

Love you, man.

[@Wozzup1223]

I love that PotatoMcWiskey showed up randomly in this stream and almost nobody noticed! Love your work hellish, just got up to date with the most recent factorio series and now I'm back on OTTD!

[@hockallz2157]

Fairly new to your channel, this seems a great game to stream. Thank you for the content.

[@MasterHellish]

Thanks for the visit

I've played TT since it was released on/off and always liked creating semi realistic networks. For past 10 years I've also been a train driver in the uk so have a lot of experience in how signalling and pointwork works. So often watching your normal content hurts, especially use of path signals at junctions outside stations on the other side of the junction. Theyre redundant in game and that would cause chaos IRL. Depots/sidings also are usually unsignalled. Either way love yoir content and would like to see more series' with rail networks 😄 Always happy to point out what is believable and what isnt! You can do realistic signal setups and it work in openTTD efficiently. In real life a path signal would be a 'controlled signal' always found protecting junctions and the normal classic signals would be automatics (nothing wrong with using path signals everywhere though) This is all incredibly dull but hopefully you'll read it 😄

[@MasterHellish]

Haha. That is really good. There are sooo many differences between the game and reality. I wonder if something more realistic could be done in Transport Fever 2. I would love to dive a train! Any advice on where that might be possible?

[@DaveTheTrain]

@@MasterHellish you can do experience days at most preserved railways. I'm a mainline driver in East Anglia, so it's my full time occupation, a dream come true but it's still a job. 😄 I think you can do semi realistic signalling in openttd and it be efficient but I can see why to be efficient, especially in multiplayer if makes sense to have self contained lines.But there's something satisfying having a believable network that develops over time. Especially with all the station grfs

[@MasterHellish]

@@DaveTheTrain maybe I can find some sort of train simulator experience as well as looking at a preserved railway. Yes there's a big difference between what looks good, what is more realistic and what gets in the big profit in OpenTTD

[@beefgriller8858]

🙋🏻‍♂️ Watched from the beginning. And loving it.

[@MasterHellish]

Fantastic! thank you

[@MegaRazorback]

The lights on the Eiffel tower are illegal to photograph at night as due to a quirk in French copyright law it's considered an artistic piece but that only applies to professional use so if you're just taking a snap while on holiday you are ok to do so provided you don't then go and sell them to a publication/magazine company.

[@MasterHellish]

Or put them on your monetized KZbin channel presumably

[@MegaRazorback]

@@MasterHellish Or that although that's a bit of a grey area i think as if the channel isn't monetized but it still has ads running then who are copyright people in France going to go after? The channel or YT for shoving ads there because YT does that all the time now.

Gameplay starts at around 17:58

[@MasterHellish]

Thanks

[@Feelosov]

It's scary: the railway station is larger in area than the city itself.

[@MasterHellish]

Now that is a boss of a station

[@nopenope5398]

Trying to figure out a design for a terminus station with very high capacity and low turn around time...I have around 120-150 trains running to and from single stations, I have upgraded your six platform station in this series to a 12x12 and still have serious amount of congestion

[@MasterHellish]

The problem there is you often have a bottleneck before the station with the trains coming in or out. Having multiple separate 6 platform stations is often a good way of dealing with that.

[@DaveTheTrain]

And btw that change you made to the track at Wrintborough was much more realistic. Before it had a junction that was redundant and wouldn't exist. I know it's an old video and you're past it now 😄

[@MasterHellish]

I certainly could do with more practice at realism

[@potterpotty01]

want to keep it realistic small local service wrintbrough, Drinhill, Tutfield, then the nothern line out of tutfield goes up though Sindston, Wudham South, or (Annville south) terminates at Wuwood.

[@MasterHellish]

Sounds like a good option. Thanks

[@stevieinselby]

I realise I'm a bit behind the time on this, but I don't understand why you set up local bus routes in a city "to help it grow", rather than running them all as feeder services to your railway stations that are a long way out of the city and have virtually nothing in their catchment area.

[@MasterHellish]

That would be because I'm playing the long game. The small bus routes in the middle of the city will get the city to grow over time and it will eventually envelope the railway station. If you're looking for a more immediate solution you can do something more like what you suggested. In either case later when the city is grown around the station the bus routes are just not needed

[@VitasLoWang]

5 kilobits/second? That would hardly be enough for a very poor quality audio! :D

[@AnkitD3541]

Funniest moment of the stream: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLWd3RsebqWjNE Is that Ms. Hellish rolling her eyes in the background there?

[@MasterHellish]

Haha

[@VitasLoWang]

I don't see anything there
