Maximising food production | Transport Fever 2 gameplay #14

[@TheCreat]

Fun Fact: When a train is set to "wait for full" (no matter which version) and it's waiting in a station due to that, it will cost lower maintenance. The difference isn't huge, but it's noticeable and worth considering (30-50%? ish?). This ONLY applies to waiting in stations due to that order. It does NOT apply to waiting at signals or any other waiting that may happen. So there's a purpose to using this now, especially for lines that have a higher rate than their supply does (like the line from Queson City Farm was for a while there, for example). (I was about to comment just for youtube algorithms sake, so I thought might as well write something that may be of use to someone, enjoy)

[@JohnTK]

9:54 I can feel the collective facepalm from both colonel failure and the audience.

[@lrg162]

I'm sure when people need inspiration for their Rube Goldberg machines, they come over and watch The Colonel setting up a production route.

[@brightspark765]

the ! is for an "overcrowded" station .... in this case, an overload of items....

[@MSzat888]

It also means that some of it will be lost

[@colonelfailure]

Aha!

[@flyingbananatree5661]

Oh no! Noone likes a lost soul, quick, to the rescue-mobile.

[@brightspark765]

@@colonelfailure .. also there is an overview of those stations on your left-hand-menu ... something about condition of stations something something like that ... or something... I think... maybe... ;)

[@Baleur]

It doesnt seem to really "matter" though.... I mean, for example you still get full profit for jamming Grain down a Food Factory's hole, even if their output is "jammed up" by a truck stop at 200 ! overcrowded station.. The only "thing" that can get "sad" by overcrowded stations are passengers, as this lowers your citywide rating/bonus. But as for freight, doesnt seem to matter. You always want full stock waiting to be picked up anyway, much better to have a few items of cargo disappear due to overcrowding, than have less than a full load on your next pickup..

[@henersinsane]

you cant extend the platform on the station because you added normal track to it not the modularised station track, just bulldoze and rebuild using said modular system, otherwise may run into some minor complications later

[@samueldoodles]

I feel like the Colonel only cares about his good fella, Major Complications.

Actually he shall only remove the normal track thus being able to modularize the station to being jolly good.

So, what happened in your childhood in regards to signals on bridges that make you so averse to them? It's ok, we've known each other for a long time now, you can confide.

[@Fungusfilms]

Haven't you heard the story of the ramp, the bike and the used duck water? That at least explains his inflated anxiety whenever the track is swan neck.

[@METALFREAK03]

Bridges are slow on this game, i think thats why he doesn't like them on there.

[@philipbossy4834]

@@Fungusfilms You're onto something with the swan necks.

[@Baleur]

I'm also averse to them, it just doesnt feel safe to have heavy multi-ton trains just idling on a bridge, you know?

[@vincewilson1]

@@Baleur A wooden bridge might be worrisome but a stone bridge - Especially later when rubarb becomes avalible-, should hold up nicely.

[@Cwattyeso]

"Have a Good One", I think you'll find Colonel the correct way to end an episode is with "Cheerio".

[@colonelfailure]

Cheerio occurs at main segment end. Camera bits are entirely freeform.

[@Dani_Valykrie]

Colonel, you gotta fix tracks 1 and 2 at Alpha Complex, they aren't the modular tracks and it will cause problems later on! Also please make sure your platforms are long enough to accommodate your train lengths!

All good great video and the network is getting Bigger and BIGGER

[@davidy7004]

When you add the next farm, looks like the shortest route is on the *other* side of the mountain, on the route where you just added the dual-funnel loco?

[@colonelfailure]

It gets added in due course.

[@MessyMeep]

lol.. I love the random babble at the end of the episodes

[@rhmagalhaes]

When time comes and you tap into the other two farms, make the line between the mountain and beach connecting to the other line from the other farm. It will be a beautiful coastal/base mountain view. When you make your first billion, make a helix going up and down that mountain, Swiss trains like. LOL

[@arjunsatheesh7609]

Looks like the Alpha Complex - Mega City One - District 12 agglomeration seems to have a harbour opportunity to the west.

[@ymer234]

What a beautiful diamond crossing

[@jamesbutler606]

I'm looking forward to this game, the original is tricky to get trains to work - i waited a good 40 in game years to actually implement trains and they are sooooo blimin' expensive to implement - plus you always forget something...knowing what to and not to do with initial train implementation would be advantageous. I think the modular stations will make it a hell of a lot easier to get trains profitable from the off.

[@pyromaniacal13]

So close. I can't wait for the release! Might have to call out of work...

[@HiddevanGelder]

can we get a map download? i'd love to play on this map and see what i can put together!

[@screech82]

[@YoChocoTube]

At the end of the next vid (if it's tomorrow) you could talk about a possible TF2 launch live stream featuring both you and Skye Storme. That's something to look forward to!

[@aircooledorion]

[@scottyturner88]

This episode was possibly one of your best of the series very engaging it could of gone on another half an hour easily i think that was the problem with you outro, you were not ready to finish cause you were really into the episode, but you must stop slapping train's, depot's, truck's and signals you will get a sore hand

[@visavis16]

I saw at the end there how Dark's Harbor is connected. Will passangers actually walk through a train station onto a road and to the Harbor? Right now it looks like the only access to get to the harbor is from people coming from the Capital.

[@colonelfailure]

They will indeed.

[@markwilson6867]

Something about algorithms and whatnot. Also, aren’t you live streaming with SkyeStorm on Steam or something?

[@Cwattyeso]

Here is a question for the Colonel and I can appreciate if he's not allowed to answer. Have you in TF2 experienced getting the flashing red icon of doom at the top of the screen, clicking on it only to find the problem it is complaining about is that it's taking too long for people to travel between one or more towns, longer then a maximum permitted amount of time. Weirder still is these towns tend to be ones on or in an area of the map you haven't done anything to or in yet and therefore have in no way effected them since the map was generated? So the game seems to be complaining about it's own network connections it setup.

[@gaikokuhito5574]

So weird to making this comment being the student and you being the master; but simple way to figure out the amount of cars required on the Foot Production : Alpha would to looking at the frequency since the farm maxes at 200. So if the train arrives every 6mins then one train with 100 capacity would work fine etc....

[@gaikokuhito5574]

Oh, Master Failure. Don't forget the fact that passengers now has changed or been explain more in TF2 as they travel from Home (Residents) to Work to Home to Commercial so bus routes work best if they travel from Residents through commercial to Industry.

[@ParkeraNZ]

Been awhile since we had a ride along

[@colonelfailure]

This is true.

[@MikelNaUsaCom]

bridge - canal combo?

[@Rod_Nyssen]

@Colonel Failure Colonel, i not know why you always put a Mugol for pulling Freight and not take Fairlie in first place?! And a short time later you saying: The Mugol is not going to cut ti! :D Its funny but after four series not anymore, ok!? :) The Mogul is not for freight anyway and it's good for short and fast passenger trains only! The running costs are very high too! The Fairlie is much better, the running costs are nearly the half but a little slower and it can out run a Mugol on Helix uphill nearly by 3x times! A Tip: Replace the Loco on your Lumber Line with two Fairlie's, so the line can make more money! :)

[@dustanbateman3019]

25:50 I thought for a second you said Darth Vegas.. if only.

[@Tyrnak_Fenrir]

Later in the series (and maybe next decade). You should have a separate food/goods hub on the other side of the map, and using planes to fly goods and even out the stock
