Train Valley 2 - Level 45: AMADEE-18 (5 Stars)

A quick video on how I approached the Train Valley 2 level - 45: AMADEE-18

Since the 5-star requirements have changed, the best solution is to build an extra 2-tunnel path through the middle of the map (NW SE direction), which can be used to make things loop or send multiple things in opposite directions.

With the changes to this map, not being able to stop trains becomes a real challenge with needing to have a route available for the automatically generated train to travel when it is released. You really have to have your wits about you, for sure. One switch not in the right position equals disaster.

dont stop trains is definitely one of the roughest conditions

Too long way to deliver a plastic to the plant to produce a wire. I built a tunnel near the glass plant. Interesting solution to build a second bridge near the microchip plant to deliver workers to the wire plant quickly.

24 minutes??? It says 21 mins for me...

[@kamikazebee13]

I've been stuck on this level for days. I keep finishing just over the new 21 minute time limit. Not being able to stop trains is not helping because of the train with the timer...

[@micogame09]

AFTER CHANGING NO TRAIN STOP IT TOOK ME 5 TRIES TO FINISH THAT LEVEL AND JUST 20 BEFORE 21 MIN MARK

[@Feraloidies]

the rules have changed on this one now, you can't stop trains :(

[@arglebargle17]

Yes, that made it a pain, but just minutes ago I finished in 19:27, apparently a world record. basically I tunneled through much of the center and had a lot of close calls. :-P

[@Tomohiko_JPN_1868]

@@arglebargle17 sure, the level , requirements changed, now it says {7 chips,18 glasses} and {21 computers + 18 ingots} , the required time is 21 mins. need to produce 28 chips , and it is kinda long production chain ;( Wait, you are the guy with the world record !? for me, Last week, i finished this stage, it took me (20:30). Respect and congratulations from japan !

[@tassie7325]

@@Tomohiko_JPN_1868 With the changes to the game the number of Computer Chips required is actually the same as the older version that DD plays here. What makes it more difficult is the fact that the 21 Computers needed means that that base can't be fully loaded in one go and, of course, more glass is required to be made. But it was still an interesting challenge.

[@tassie7325]

@@arglebargle17 Nice job. I wasn't game to try the centre tunnels as I'm sure I would have had multiple crashes if I tried 🙃

[@Daniel-gl2ih]

My version (steam), of this level its different: in mine one, you cannot stop the machines, instead to being unable to pause; so, your way to solve this level doesnt helps me at 100%, because you stops the machines.

Been trying this 5-stars for weeks now. I moved on with the game (got the DLC) but keep trying this 5-star, it's this and New Zealand missing. I really think this map is now grossly unbalanced. There's simply too much processors so you need to keep track of sand and processors nonstop! The rest gets so easy compared to this one. After getting stuck at this I passed the other remaining levels at pretty much first try...

[@tassie7325]

It is tough, no doubt, but defiantly doable. If you are still unsuccessful and would like a couple of tips, I'd be glad to help.

[@xkuei]

@@tassie7325 Yeah I ended up managing to 5-star it but it was reeeeally close. As your recent comment points, it becomes more a matter of managing multiple routes efficiently than using the same rails for multiple goods.

[@tassie7325]

@@xkuei Good to here 👍

[@rac8153]

worst level by far
