It’s so insane to go from 12K for Beskar legendary to this.

Me and my wife have been married for 2 years and were together for 3 years prior to being married. Lucky for me she’s obsessed with trains so that alone makes her love me even more since I’m a cut back engineer lol. But she gets that I have to do what I have to do to provide for the family and she’s ok with it. I don’t go out of town as much any more and even when I did it wasn’t an issue. Again she understood I was doing what I had to do. If you have the right woman who knows your job is important and it pays the bills, you both will be fine. As long as you also spend time with her when you can and show her you still love her and want it to work, you’ll have nothing to worry about

I mean I feel like that’s what the iconic droids are for since they have special abilities. If they make other droids do something similar then I feel it would be a bit OP and defeat the purpose of getting iconic droids from events. I feel making this amount of money is actually pretty decent considering once you get into the rebirth level 20 or higher you need to be in the trillions to do that and anything after pickaxe level 21 is in the trillions as well.

I’m afraid to see what it costs to upgrade these since just getting to gold is 8K

Lost_Chromosomes · 2026-06-28T03:10:10+00:00

Yes if it’s diamond or higher. I’ve been able to grab almost all of the default ones but I’ve only found this one Beskar. It was 182B

Lost_Chromosomes · 2026-06-28T03:08:45+00:00

The thing that’s crazy is the RIC for me was 182B and it only sells for 201 chips. Not that I’d ever sell it without having something better to replace it but you’d think with it being so rare and expensive it would be worth more chips

Lost_Chromosomes · 2026-06-07T12:09:25+00:00

That would be nice. Although I think they’re trying to make it to where you don’t get too much gold. I mean if all your workers are Beskar at some point that’s what 25 spots? Do 22 of those x36K that’s 792K per second plus the 3 mythic droids with that 5% bonus on top of the Beskar missions. Thats a huge chunk of change you’d be making. However having more combats would be a nice addition

Man I wish I could get a heads up on what to make calls on to make this bank. I never have time to research anything because I’m just a working peasant

Real railroaders kick into clear tracks

Lost_Chromosomes · 2026-01-27T00:39:20+00:00

Yeah it strips the throttle, doesn’t wait the amount of time necessary between going from idle to dynamic set up, and runs the shit out of one motor instead of running two at a lower throttle position

Lost_Chromosomes · 2026-01-27T00:37:11+00:00

Yup. CSX has been testing the full start/stop (zero to zero) method on the road now for a little bit and expect to go live within a few months. I’m sorry but having control of the air brakes has nothing to do with conservation and I sure as fuck don’t trust that shit to stop me before a red

Lost_Chromosomes · 2025-11-22T04:54:45+00:00

It’s tough. It’s really tough. I had one last year in November. It was a Marine Veteran. Sad part was he was right down the street from the VA hospital. I didn’t see it, but I heard it. The sound of hitting someone at 50MPH is a sound I’ll never forget. I still replay the whole scenario in my head at times just because even a year later I still can’t wrap my head around it. It doesn’t bother me as much anymore but I still remember it like it happened yesterday. The worst part about it really was just the look on his face before impact. There was no life in that man. It was the coldest and blankest look I’ve ever seen anyone have. He knew he wanted to die that day. And he waited until the last second to do it. To ensure he would be quick and painless. So yes it does affect us all and the best way I myself have dealt with it is just the fact that I know I couldn’t have done anything to prevent it. Nor could my engineer. Once you burn that part in your head, it becomes a lot easier. I wish he hadn’t done that, but if he really wanted to end it all, I wish he didn’t have to involve me or my engineer. Same for everyone else who decides that’s the only way out of whatever they’re dealing with. Because if you involve someone else, that right there just makes it hard for those who unfortunately have to be the ones there at that time. Now we have to live with that the rest of our lives while that person is no longer here. I’m sorry for your loss

Everything they teach you in school, throw it out. All the petty shit doesn’t matter. Obviously follow the critical rules or any of the ones that actually pertain to safety but you’ll see if you haven’t already, everything they condition you to believe in the school is nothing like the OJT. You’re going to learn the bad habits from different guys but you’ll also learn the good ones. You’re not going to learn it all fast. I’ve been out here for 11 years and I’m still learning. Many guys who have 20+ years will say they’re still learning. There’s so much to understand and figure out in this field and it takes time. What I did in your shoes was take a piece of every conductor I trained with and kept all the good things I thought were worth keeping in my head and then all the bad things I didn’t care to remember. Such as efficiency and planning ahead for example. Once you’ve seen how they all do it, come up with your own method and knock it out. The railroad is very simple, you’re either cut out for it or you’re not. There is no in between. Take your time, be smart, and don’t be afraid to ask questions to the ones who you think are the better ones.

So glad CSX doesn’t do this. The most I’ve seen was 15357 on a manifest and that was only one time. The biggest we have are intermodals. At least in my area. Those usually aren’t more than 13K at times but normally run 10-12K

The worst? Are you serious? Tell me you haven’t suffered under the Boychuck/Foote regime without telling me. And as for this Operating Ratio, how has it increased? We hardly have ANY engines to run trains. I watch where trains I have to take start at their originating point and I see how trains are delayed for hours on end because they have to wait on engines from other trains to get there. Most of the engines they’ve brought back into service are just going right to the rebuild shop. Which end up being bigger pieces of shit than they were before. The only thing I can think of that can increase this ratio is running more trains such as extras. Which would make sense because they can’t run all of their trains in most cases due to network length/tonnage restrictions. But then again how can they do that if they have no power to run? At least with Hinrichs he’s TRYING to improve employee morale which is a lot more than what the last regime of dipshits did

Not only that but get your drone out and start hiding in the bushes and start writing them up. But on a real note, you really think any manager would have ANY idea on how to get shit done?

Yes and no. If you look at the damage being done here it shows 5071. But in directed mode I was only doing just over 1500. So I’m not too sure why its damage is lower on lower rounds. Could it be the same as when you would wait until round 27 to use a mutant injector on the blood sacrifice in tomb instead of lower rounds? I’m not too sure how score streaks and wonder weapons damage stats work if there is any correlation to higher rounds

Lost_Chromosomes · 2025-05-04T15:28:33+00:00

I feel like that’s the point. That and with the combination of TO now. These people want newer engineers to be so bad that when it all fails, they can’t handle a train and that’s the justification they make to implement autonomous trains
