Starting a NEW Coop Train Empire in Railroads Online!

[@Hyce777]

This was so much fun! I'm excited to build our rail empire.... But who's got a good name for it?

[@JamesRK2]

Maple valley railway

[@MrLarsgren]

will it ever be possible to make tunnels ? im thinking with the 500 meter segments it could be easy to go where it have to exit and it could automatically carve the tunnel. should not be cheap ofcourse XD

[@JamesRK2]

Maple mountain rail company

[@MrLarsgren]

choo two XD

[@Palerider1942]

The Arapahoe Rural & South East (ARSE) or the Outer Foothills Utah County and Kenosha(OFUCK) or, Tonnage First Safety Last, (TFSL)

[@_eighty8]

Kan! At 7:28, you were doing the old method to make the switch go that way. If you look in the top corner, you can switch what end of the rail switch you want to control. This way you can just place it and not have to do the whole mess of building out then using a cross road and then placing a switch.

[@pweedos8482]

Yes! with num 8 and num 2!

[@michalkures1487]

Another thing is that you can use grid and straight mode to place parallel track perfectly without doing switch trick anymore

[@0megaming]

You should also bring in Dapper and Kosmo to run trains, while you lay the next tracks, so that they already generate money for your company, while your tracks expand ^^ Make it a four player map, like you told, you´re intending in older videos ^^

I think "Half Decent" would be a fun name for the rail empire Cause half of it was built very meticulously, and the other half… It… Well it works, ig?

[@inotsmarty5700]

*IMPORTANT* list of things to know about the beta version of RO! 1: If you press 8 or 2 wile building switches, they will do something used for aligning them to other switches. 2: *THE TRAINS DO NOT GO FASTER* , it's the old trains on the new splines, but it's still the old rail collision system. 3: I recommend building a max radius of 40m, you can go more that that but it will become spicy going around them full speed. 4: after you get a lot of splines made, the game will start to lag. (you won't have to worry about this for a wile though) 5: for the pin and link you don't need to move your mouse up/down, it is now right/left click only.

[@dragonpaladin5584]

If you have a 0 radius in circle mode the track is perfectly straight.

[@justins.6569]

Any way to fix the lags? Even with multiple wagons it's horrible. Hope there is a fix or the devs announced it to work on that.

[@zamboughnuts]

I love Hyce just absolutely nerding out over trains. Love to see someone play a game for something they truly have a passion for.

[@tobin1677]

The talk on mechanics and tension was pretty interesting. Though this is more thermal variance related than tension related, it reminded me of that story about the concord jet. Because of the temperature the plane's body got up to in flight was so high the structure of it expanded in flight, but the cabin was thermally isolated so it didn't. The end result was up near the cockpit there was a place where a gap would be allowed to appear as the plane essentially stretched, but when they landed it would go back to normal. Naturally one of the crew members once put a hat in the gap, and said hat was stuck when the plane landed.

[@FreezingHot]

Do I want to see more of this series? DO I?!! 2 engineers talking about their job is awesome dude! I know nothing about engineering but I love it. Learning it like this and seeing a chill game playthrough is basically my 2 passions combined together. Please talk more about engineering while you play. This is such a chill game you can talk about anything while you play and you can fill in those long strips of railroad going through mountains, valleys etc by just talking about your jobs.

[@drewbarker8504]

kAN, while Hyce was explaining locomotive metallurgy in the beginning-and while I was trying to think of a name for this railroad-I just realized how you come up with such perfectly straight and curved alignments. Never seen you do it before and it’s fantastic !

[@LSFord]

I haven’t played in a while and I’m pumped for the track laying updates but honestly, more than 1 kind of tree makes me happier

[@willpelkey1510]

Whats up guys, my name is most recent donator, and I am really really excited about donating and watching more of the series!! Also hello Hyce!!

[@senraba]

Honestly, out of all the youtubers I watch (over 50), your def in my top 10. Your vids are the greatest.

[@kingdavyiii6615]

Press 2 on the number pad to change the connecting point of the switches. I loved watching this! This was so familiar.

[@Jigoku_Samurai]

nice to see the series coming back. with the switches you can actually choose the connection point, so you don't need to do the old way anymore.

[@NSaw1]

I gotta say, I love the conversation you and Hyce have lol Hyce nerds out about steam, and then kAN starts to catch on and then understand. Its so much fun to watch haha

[@mayapapaya4952]

I live in a real old logging town in the Adirondack Park in New York. The logs were chopped and floated down the river to the lake that the river spilled into. Once they were in the lake, they were hauled out, milled, and loaded onto a railroad to be shipped all over the state. The town doesn't do nearly as much logging anymore as it is mostly a tourist spot now, and our railway has been inactive for a long time. One month ago, the first locomotive transit from Utica, New York -> Tupper Lake, New York in 42 years was opened for the inauguration of the newly repaired track. I sadly missed the arrival of the locomotive, but I was ecstatic to hear that there are hopes that this will mark the beginning of a regularly scheduled passenger transit into the town. Prior to this, the town hadn't seen a train enter since before my parents' were even born. Hopefully this will become a regular occurrence that I might share with my son. I've never even been on a train, except in museums. I look forward to my first train ride being shared with my child, just as people hundreds of years ago in this same town got to experience with their own children.

[@johnnysgaragecarsgaming6841]

I find that circle mode helps a lot with making good track and if you run into a switch on the opposite side it will automatically switch to to the side of track that you're on so you don't derail and you can change the link point on the switches themselves

[@frogsshadow4189]

The weights on the wheels are counter weights to the rods connecting all the wheels. Also engines don't run backwards because much of the engine will not work if run backwards, things like oil and water pumps, as well as valves letting air in and out and when the spark plug and fuel injectors fire. If you disconnect the pumps and the valves you could run an engine backwards (though being able to switch directions would be difficult)

[@satoshinakomoto7538]

Actually kAN, some car engines can go backwards too! Single piston engines work like you said, they start in one direction, and then continue to run in the same direction. Running the engine backwards also gets harder as you add pistons, because of ignition timings and how 4 stroke engines work. However, 2 stroke engines also exist :D, but to be honest, they kinda are similar to steam engines. Especially on old tractors for example the "Lanz Bulldog" has a 2 stroke single cylinder engine and even though it has a flywheel, it "can" run backwards, or even just oscillate without even making a full turn! ~

[@alkestos]

I can't imagine the power being that great when oscillating.

[@Nevir202]

@@alkestos Well, it doesn't really make any "power" when oscillating, because it moves slowly, back and forth... I guess if you rugged some kinda ratcheting mechanism up, you could extract power from it, but it would be miniscule.

[@zackattack7489]

@@alkestos your practically describing is a steam tractor

[@jboot111]

@@zackattack7489 it's basically the first step from a steam tractor, so you're not far off with that. It's really interesting to watch those things, definitely worth a shot

The return of this series is genuinely one of the most important things to me at the moment and I’m so happy it’s finally happening, keep up the videos Kan!

[@danmaardeze]

Awesome to see you back to Railroads Online again! I got to know your channel through this game and have seen every single episode of that playthrough. Can't wait to see what this series will turn out to. And good luck with dealing with Hyce' track laying skills. That's a duesy

[@ladyloranda813]

Yes! I love that you started this game again, this series is what I subscribed for

[@opiumextract2934]

Nice to see railroads online actually put the track and roadbed together in a spline. I mentioned that in their discord months ago but got called an idiot..only been playing train sims since they were in pampers.

[@Caleb.N.]

I've actually been craving to see more of this game! Perfect timing!

[@cheetalo5977]

I love how we have kan a heavy gamer and hyce as add on commentary explaining everything with his knowledge about trains, it really adds so much im so excited for this series

[@MagicJayroadFilms]

Unfortunately the speed cap was not removed, the new community managers have not given us an update on that just yet. Love the video and it was really nice to see you get back into the game with hyce, i just finished rewatching your series a few weeks ago, and im glad we have a new episode of a new series.

[@daemonicone4098]

@kan THE LEGEND! Thanks for bringing it back. Your reasons for pausing were legit but your RO content is fantastic.

[@tsmvelxzor76]

Hey Kan I love the vids Glad you are recording the game again, By the way you can use the circle mode for straight rails and the curves it makes them pretty nice little tip for you. keep it up love man

[@virtualshade8686]

It feels so good, to just watch this again, and relaxing... its been so long since u last did a vid on this game, and it fills me with satisfaction! Thank you SO MUCH for getting back to this game! :D I appreciate all your hard effort into making the tracks perfectly straight and everything so perfect. Again, thank you so much!

[@ericbonanno5214]

I've started watching videos on Hyce's channel again and I was thinking about this game and the old calabs. Great to see the triumphant return of them.

[@Str4ng3w00d]

Hyce is an amazing source of knowledge. The comparison between ICE and steam engine was amazing as a car enthusiast. Can't wait to see more of this game, its piqued my interest in trains!

[@Themilkman4643]

The reverser is modeled into the game now so if you pull it closer to center you can go faster but with less pulling power

[@enejvizintin4746]

It sadly isn't. Trains still move as fast as they did before (I played the game 5 hours ago).

[@jamesneumann2003]

That was on the Dev build and was never made public, you are mistaking It's Nix's video show casing a potentional feature that never got released.

[@joshuashea911]

LETS GOOOOO new train videos be coming to feed our wyes

[@sirenhead8767]

I’ve been waiting for this for a loooooong time…. Happy you guys are gonna start playing more…

[@SternLX]

Toggle Circle Mode on to lay perfectly strait track(assuming you didn't add a Radius). When you toggle Circle mode on it'll give you the length of the spline you're currently building. You can use that for measuring out distances between track. Save's you lots of time from laying Cross over pieces and picking them up again. You can also Toggle the switches Attach point now as well(cycles between all three), no need to use the old fiddly lay multiple switches and cross pieces to get the spacing you want.

[@justinrice9924]

Glad to see this game again. Love to watch this since I can't play it cause I'm a console gamer. Wish this would come to console.

[@bluepiretfox8330]

Same dud I am on the ps4 and I want it so badly it is not ifen funny

[@afoxwithahat7846]

Fun fact: if you were driving some old 2 stroke engines up a hill, and you had too much load, the engine could reverse the rotation and the vehicle would speed up down the hill. It was a big problem for tractors at the time, 2 stroke cars were much lighter, and 4 stroke cars usually don't have this problem. But it's fun knowing it could just have happened

[@elpximso6771]

I just found your channel and this is my first video. Super cool and interesting to hear you two talk about train stuff. I'm not super interested in trains but it was cool to hear all the technical stuff

[@SapperWoody]

When hearing about how long it took you to lay your first track, I had just been telling my buddy that my first successful run of a train to the logging camp was just over 6 hours after I started up the game. It was no joke back then! I watched your old videos of this game back in the day, and actually looked you up again because I was thinking about getting back into the game.

[@BillytheBob256]

Something that will save so much time when building shut yards is the ability to switch which point you want to place a switch from so you won't have to do the switch trick, and and also it's been awhile since I played but if I remember correctly you can use circle mode to create perfectly straight track so you won't have to use switches or cross pieces too make straight track anymore.

[@zackattack7489]

Yes yes yes I have been asking for you to come back since you stopped btw the Glenbrook is everything that everyone wanted from Eureka

[@Hattonz]

Great video! This is going to be an amazing series and I hope this continues for a long time. Glad to see Hyce back. I'm loving you both talking about all the very interesting technical side. : )

[@masonkpiano]

Finally! After the whole discord thing and the issue with the RO team, I’m happy to see you back at it.

[@thatwaffleguy4958]

What happened with the discord?

[@irgiefarras]

Yeah what happened

[@milan5210]

I think it had something to do with the terms of service some people Some people completely misunderstood it and threw a fit on the discord and started spreading lies online. (Note: i might be wrong about this but i remembering hearing about it)

[@masonkpiano]

@@milan5210 specifics weren’t released but you can find fragments over different social medias. Here’s my understanding: RO! was a volunteer based work group. Keume was the sole profiteer of RO! And then with the whole LGBTQ conflict, the RO Discord got revamped and RO took a hit as the public reacted harshly to what happened. Eventually some behind the scenes things happened with the members of the RO team being negative with other members and even more so when Keume became selfish about the game (supposedly). Certain team members left RO and The discord was eventually shut down completely. The RO Community got cast aside from their developers. On steam, there has been some updates like a company merger and new team and some comment forums for Q&A’s. Most people felt pushed aside and confused for it all and this is my understanding, we still don’t know any specifics and I’m sure we never will. A know a few people won’t play RO again as it had so much potential but now is a little lack luster.

[@theatlasv8633]

I hate to disappoint, but the speed limit on the engines still seems to be in effect. I haven't gotten my hands on the class 70 yet, but if the Glenbrook is anything to go by, the speed limit still feels like the same as before the spline update. As said a long time ago, the high speeds can still cause some weird physics to happen, but it got toned down a lot with the new splines. That's my experience with the new update anyways. Still shows a lot of promise once the kinks are ironed out. I personally cant wait for when everything runs on the tracks as smooth as that beta test Betsy did.

[@ElderonAnalas]

I can't wait for the mountain passes and switchbacks to the Iron mine or something like some of the shay railroads here in WV. Having to reverse the train back and forth up the mountain.

[@christianpeters1007]

[@ryanhoroho3023]

My favorite part is listening to Hyce taking about trains while you do literally anything else

[@CornyTheSnake]

My favorite train is a steam train called the Big Boy (there are multiple and one is still working but my favorite is the one in the national train museum in Wisconsin) and my dad's favorite is a steam train called the Allegheny (only one remaining) and it is in the Henry Ford museum, they are both locomotives referred to as "supper powers" that are basically really big and powerful steam engines ("super powers" were discontinued when diesel trains became a thing) the Big Boys were bigger but were better on flat land, and the Alleghenys were smaller but more powerful and were meant for mountains. But overall, thank you Henry Ford for protecting trains, cars, furniture owned by people like Abe Lincoln, old farming equipment, and even entire buildings He put in Greenfield Village right next to the museum (Henry Ford was the guy that made the model-T, and of course there is at least one in his museum) I would definitely recommend checking out both the National Train Museum in Wisconsin and the Henry Ford museum, lots of cool stuff in both.
