The new city will need a big boulevard trough the middle and a lot of trams -Comrade stalin 1967 (from the grave)

[@bballjo]

Trams will come...don't worry...not today, but they are in the master plan!

[@TheYvian]

Using a signal as a waypoint to un-confuse trains when unloading wagons? That's today's learning in bballjo University, many thanks! 😁

[@kendrox0994]

I know your recording is a couple episodes ahead, but I like the idea of a harbor for the functionality and aesthetics of shipping lanes over relying solely on helicopters. Gives a feeling of living through the development of a region. Love season X so far!

[@bballjo]

There are also things helicopters can't do at all, like fuel.

[@benjamincorey6259]

Transporting meat via ships should be part of the game, if it isn't. Canada supported England during the war by shipping meat. Abet its quality wasn't always the best, but that was a factor of the technology at the time. "You can't get your pudding, if you don't eat your meat!"

[@bballjo]

Luckily it is :)

[@cerwad1394]

Hello French here never heard the expression the final coup d’état. Maybe the coup de grace ? Which in English would be the last nail in the coffin. Great series by the way !

[@AShadowboxsFSX]

@@cerwad1394 yes we English speakers usually mix up coup d'état (military overthrow of the government for those who don't know) with coup de grace. To be fair if you aren't familiar with the language they can sound very similar, as my teacher would say "coo de tah" and "coo de grah."

[@qbabq]

I've watched and played this game so much and there are still things I had no idea about. Thanks for the information about delivering wagons to a railway distribution office - I wouldn't have thought that adding a waypoint to the timetable would solve this annoying problem :p

[@hai.nguyenhoang]

10:31 FYI you have a chain signal as the exit and a block signal as the entry to the junction at the rail distribution office 32:51 additional info: you can use the resources overlay to see how many wagons the customs house is currently loading/unloading I ended up running short trains so I don't get the "train is waiting too long" messages all the time 36:11 what about building a container packing facility, so you import stuff to there, load that into containers, then bring the containers to the ships? 39:18 _screams at screen about shop out of goods message_ 41:27 the issue could be that some garbage stand is not separating the construction waste and ends up in mixed waste or that somewhere the construction waste stands are full and then they just overflow into mixed waste 44:04 bballjo: _keeps addiction below 10%_ probably some people who want to get achievements: let's keep going, we need that achievement for getting 80%! 56:28 oh look, a stand that didn't separate! 1:02:15 now I really need to get to the island, I'm already at '73...

[@bballjo]

Thanks! RE: containers...I have plans for later, and they don't involve the peninsula:)

[@PeteSmells]

I appreciate the release schedule. Excited for more!

[@pabilbadoespecial]

Yes, this shows a great level of professionalisms!

[@thebeanymac]

You went to all that bother because you like choo-choo trains. +1 I approve! : ) Nice expo. Thanks.

[@Intentionally_Irrelevant]

I did it, I got the Trabi Maker achievement. Incredible game is incredible 1.0 has been Tremendous. That makes 3 , Start a new Game, 2 year game, Trabi Maker. Just like the devs intended. Now its time to Recycle

[@barbaldo]

Would love to see you handle public transport between different cities! Mostly because I don't know how it works. Do workers transfer automagically between stations? Is there a maximum number of transfers? I'm bad at this probably

[@bballjo]

I made tutorials for that... wouldn't recommend it for newer players, and it's not a good use of resources.

[@KerboOnYT]

I'm slowly catching up. Great job so far on the series!

[@Maxworld1982]

For me I buy wagons an border too. Later I use a locomotive to bring them all into the depot first. Then it goes to the distribution office (because it shows only the fist twelve wagons). So I know exactly what kind of wagons I have.

[@ShadowDragon1848]

Does anyone know whether 3D plans to fix the problem that rail distribution offices can´t see the amount of resources of hauling buildings wich are connected to something?

[@bballjo]

It's by design... nothing to fix here.

[@veydajar]

"Alcohol addiction is.. when it goes close to 10%, I like to turn it off for a little while.." That is torture, my good sir! 🥴There is a reason why the price of vodka was so tightly controlled in the USSR. Thankfully, riots are not a mechanic in this game.

[@joshuapettit7220]

since gravel is not really worth exporting why didnt u get rid of the second gravel production area

[@bballjo]

Because it's large, and half is just for cement, which will come in a bit.

[@topphatt1312]

I genuinely can’t tell if he’s talking to himself or reading messages from a live chat.

[@genybr]

41:20 > _Good, what about to_ ...drop speed to 1x when you're going to be distracted to not to make planning in winter?

[@AShadowboxsFSX]

This is the first series of yours that I've watched and I'm glad you mentioned the alcohol addiction being a problem. I built a pub and just left it and after I learned, I checked and my addiction rate was 42%!! I've since turned it off and I'm down to 12% currently but wow thanks for the heads up

[@virtual_GaRy]

I'd have preferred if you had built a tunnel through the mountain towards the second city instead of flattening the whole thing. Really cheesing the realism mode. That was probably 50000 tons of stone you removed a few episodes ago. And I also think there should be no issue at all using chain signals inside of big junctions, it will make sure that separate trains can go at the same time if they don't cross over the same pieces of rail.

[@bballjo]

I don't think there was enough height for a tunnel..but maybe?

[@guilhermedinnebier6677]

Why no orphanage yet? Does it not reduce criminality?

[@bballjo]

It increases population of done right, and increases crime if done wrong...I don't have workers available for them for a while.

[@Kessra]

I still ask myself whether it wouldn't have been a bit smarter to also feed the heating plant with the coal of the nearby storage. This way you could have saved 8 "slow" dumpers and traffic at the borders. Sure, this would have required probably an a bit larger storage but to me sounds like it would scale a bit better on the long run

[@bballjo]

It is smarter, which is what I did eventually 😂

[@awsomedarkside]

Is there a chance you will be updating your realistic tutorial for 1.0? Loving the content, keep it going

[@bballjo]

There is nothing different...what did you find that's not covered?

[@thetiko1133]

Hey trying to follow you along on this challenge . Thanks for videos. One problem I am having is actually something you mentioned but didn’t happen for you. For coal my train cant leave station after unloading any suggestions?

[@bballjo]

There should be some error message or indication for what/where there is an issue...id guess signals are the most likely issue

[@thetiko1133]

@@bballjo Train gets the question mark let me get a secreenshot next time so I can describe better I thought maybe it doesn't fit into the station wtih 11 vagons

[@Potworze]

Dobra Robota!!!!

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

putting signals on the _exit_ of a junction hurts my soul. is this necessary to allow a second train to cross after the first train has passed?

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

I mean does the junction stay occupied by a train until a) the back of the train has passed the junction, or b) the back of the train has passed the next signal?

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

signals showing green by default, even for conflicting routes, also hurts my soul - is this authentic to Soviet signalling systems lol

[@bballjo]

It's called block signals...it's just how they've worked in every game that uses block signals.

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

@@bballjo except SimSig 😉

[@bballjo]

Don't know that game

[@merobingowie8368]

It could be better to use DO for incinerator > waste dumps instead of lines

[@tixarfuriaa]

Will you ever build a cow farm????

[@bballjo]

Probably

[@martynread977]

Enjoying the playthrough, ref meat shipping, there is a mod that lets you build meat container loading/unloading (also with the functionality for liquids in tank containers if you wanted)

[@bballjo]

Figured out that vanilla ships can move it too.

[@RozkwitMocy]

If you put 0% on train aggregate loading, the train reduce to zero gravel?

[@bballjo]

@@RozkwitMocy 0% loading settings for RDO simply means: always pickup, I don't care about efficiency.

[@RozkwitMocy]

@@bballjo so we need another store if we want pick up from there gravel

[@bballjo]

@@RozkwitMocy I don't think I understand what you are asking about

[@mwyeoh]

17:13 construction waste was set to go to aggregate storage

[@garyseal6721]

Hello Bballjo I've been watching your latest play through here. So I started over on my play through on V1. However, I am struggling to get metro track to hook up to the underground station. Very time I pull out from the underground station (using F3 to see connection) it builds above ground metro tack, also in a test map tried building metro tunnels, and it does the same thing, builds above ground metro track, If you get an opportunity on your next video, please could you show how to do it, please as it's driving me nuts. Gaz

[@bballjo]

If you can't connect metro tunnel to underground metro station, and you can verify that on a new safe, it's probably a good idea to send both saves to the devs.

[@garyseal6721]

Me a little stupid, thought metro tunnels were just for creating tunnels to connect underground to above ground, just used underground tunnels on underground metro station. All good and works fine 😅😅

[@lordjoda]

Several series ago, you used to make (almost) all junctions non blocking, esp. for the main line. Over the past series, it appears you more and more ignored this, which is sad to see.

[@bballjo]

I see you didn't listen to explanations. The peninsula railroad will be tiny...creating great junctions would be very wasteful. The island will have a much more congested network...

[@lordjoda]

@@bballjo I might have missed that, or misunderstood it. Either way looking forward to the peninsula "hopping".

[@opie_]

footpath enjoyer here don't let anyone tell you that they're not interesting

[@bballjo]

Haha!

[@AShadowboxsFSX]

@@bballjo footpath connection to Island wheb? :p

[@Oktokolo]

The footpaths are the best part of the game. Hope, we'll eventually get prefab footpaths too.
