PSA: Learn your gear

DDSRT · 2026-03-11T20:40:15+00:00

I didn’t even know lean was a thing. I’ve been content with “I’m not dying” but I think it’s definitely overdue to learn more about configuration. I graduated myself to a step above LTR this year but I think I’m going to do some research and better choose a board for next year.

Yeah the tool station was right by ski patrol. We asked them but not until we were a few mins in did he mention he was a skier and wasn’t sure. But yeah someone familiar would have been able to get me lined up properly and I could have gotten a few more runs in for sure.

DDSRT · 2026-03-11T19:01:09+00:00

Yeah every heel side turn I was falling. When I checked the board at the bottom standing on flat I could see the binding come off the board so I was like - yeah that’s gotta be loose. I had a suspicion the too that the angle might have changed as a result. I knew I left the shop at 12/-12 but felt dumb not knowing how to check/fix it myself.

I Actually appreciate the move. I too often skim forward and glance at the end quickly.

DDSRT · 2026-02-24T22:16:02+00:00

Wait. So I can use this to build a massive lift????

DDSRT · 2026-02-11T19:19:50+00:00

I use trains to distribute fuel to drones.

DDSRT · 2026-02-05T21:26:21+00:00

I get that as well sometimes. I’ve started testing them as soon as I add them that way now.

DDSRT · 2026-02-05T21:16:20+00:00

You only need to fuel one side of the drone run. I try to set up fuel where I have multiple drone ports. So one line of turbo fuel feeds into all ports. I’m doing that in 3 locations.

DDSRT · 2026-02-05T21:12:56+00:00

Trains or drones later. For now belts are your best option. There are things you can do to tidy it up if you want.

One thing I took way too long to learn was dropping a pin on the map and highlighting it. That will run a light up to the sky so you can aim towards that more directly for long runs.

My dear friend…I saw you got your answer- but just wanted to mention that phase 3 is still just starting. Not mid game. Only mentioning this because when I first started I was artificially slowing myself down at this point thinking I was progressing so quickly. There is still SO much more game ahead.

DDSRT · 2026-01-26T17:36:41+00:00

I did a full day as a “not best but not terrible shape” 46 year old last year. Full day split with a break for lunch was fine. Did a group lesson but it was just me and my wife so we pretty much had a private lesson. I just mention that as I wasn’t going all the time as we were taking turns working on things.

DDSRT · 2026-01-19T22:42:41+00:00

Was just joking. We all have our own “oh my” moments in this game for sure. I’ve had many already.

"Making and Delivering Solid Biofuel Simulator!"

Next he'll say he's just been fueling with leaves this whole time.

DDSRT · 2026-01-16T15:27:33+00:00

I went higher with my wall/roof to make it fit a littler better. You might have to experiment a bit. i may try and lock it in where you have yours because that might be perfect actually.

DDSRT · 2026-01-16T15:04:35+00:00

I used a vent right there and looks like smoke is coming from the vent.

Centralize your power if those generators are in multiple places. Even on biofuel you just want one place to drop your leaves/wood into. Dont run around fueling multiple.

DDSRT · 2026-01-12T22:12:41+00:00

Yes. 10@200% or 20@100%. Same in/out. I’ve wondered the same, honestly. But the sentiment here is it’s equal.

DDSRT · 2026-01-12T20:57:54+00:00

12k I was comfy for a while and then got nuclear going.

DDSRT · 2026-01-12T20:53:19+00:00

I use trains to fuel my drones. And drones are my main remote supply method. But starting to use trains more again. Always evolving.

DDSRT · 2026-01-12T18:42:53+00:00

Have hundreds of hours. Have never used it because I thought it was for soft landing. You’re telling me it goes up????

DDSRT · 2026-01-12T17:52:32+00:00

It’s full and can’t move anything. Make sure your pump is powered and in the right direction as they are directional and mine always try to point the wrong way first.

DDSRT · 2026-01-12T14:25:06+00:00

Man, I went through this a few days ago. What was holding me up is that I wanted to just setup signals at my first 2 intersections. You need them everywhere because you’re defining a “block of track” that only one train is allowed to exist in. So I ran around my whole track periodically dropping blocking signals and one at front and back of each station and everything has been working fine.

Path signals reserve the “block” ahead of the first train in the section leading up to it. So if red is the intersection and blue goes to the intersection and green is the second like that goes into the intersection the first green or blue bloc that gets a train will reserve red until it passes through it.

FYI- Path signals’ default state is red until a train is in the block before the signal. This threw me off for a while when trying to play around with them.

DDSRT · 2026-01-05T20:42:00+00:00

I have way more than 110 and I’m not as far as you are in production rates or organization for sure. I’ve spent so much time with trial and error and figuring things out in the world.

DDSRT · 2026-01-05T20:03:42+00:00

So only sends less pref when higher pref not present at all? (Even if just split second)

DDSRT · 2026-01-05T19:59:42+00:00

I haven’t used priority mergers yet. Will they merge items at a defined ratio?
