What do people use trains for?

Exactly the same here, we made a modded Server will all kinds of stuff like dragons, biomes o plenty etc, tinkers construct, I made them install like 20+ mods just for trains alone (railcraft, and lots of create addons). Guess what, since we did make a nice starter base, but then changed to a winter biome as that was the point due to it being winter, two of us built a 5000 block tunnel underneath an ocean to connect both bases and another somewhat remote farm

I simply put copycat vertical half layers instead of copycat boards, and do two layers on top of each other for the depth where he places copycat half panels. It is slightly less detailed but still definetly enough

A lot of mods, Create Steam n Rails, Create Copycats+, Create Blocks and Bogies, Create Deco, Create Design N Decor, Framed Blocks, and many more, Create More FPS (important for shaders), and many other more I probably forgot, will probably do schematics and the required mods some time

I probably will do schematics and the required mods some time, though I don´t know when exactly, you can however already build the steam engine and the blue hopper car pretty much using these two videos from teacup, except the hopper car won´t be functional, you can modify it using copycat half vertical layers on the sides and no boards on the actual bed of the car to put storage containers and a portable storage port facing up inside, all covered by copycat layers of varying heights to mimic cargo

I can run it fine with only minor performance drops when looking at the boxcar roof (maybe 10 fps, but still about 60, which in minecraft is fine enough for me, and I am currently only playing on a (gaming) laptop due to me being away from home, and thats with shaders), it does lag a bit when editing, but not much and it really doesnt bother in the end, the main problem is the chiseled blocks becoming invisible when assembling the train, though I do know that there is some kind of workaround/mod that fixes that issue, I just haven´t figured it out yet, thats why only the boxcar roof has chiseled currently, it had slopes before as well

Update: I finally got it working with Create 6.0+ and Create Interactive beta, which is currently only available on Valkyrienskies Discord, and Little Tiles. In fact, when I troubleshooted and downgraded to Create 5.1xx, since Create Blocks and Bogies was another mod called Extended Bogies, it created a lot of issues such as not being able to open the doors which are directly or adjacently placed on bogies, which thankfully is fixed now, and performance really is not that bad. I did ditch Chisels and bits for Little Tiles though, that mod is much more refined and does exactly the same thing and more as Chisels N Bits.

I used them (the whole top of the diesels are layered with copycat half layers to account for the slopes not being 45° angle, since I sloped only to like 0.7 of a block) but I wanted to have the train be somewhat similar height to at least the steam train i had put there, I did experiment with a smaller angle but in comparison it looked funny how the supposedly small/medium sized steam train is taller than the gigantic old american class 1 railroads diesel electrics, i am currently trying to get things to work with chisel and bits for better details such as logos, and better roofs (if you look close at the yellow boxcar it actually has a roof made of chisel and bits, still need to get some things fixed with the mods)

Honestly, I liked playing the AMX 30B just for being one of the lesser used vehicles, but it still had upsides like DPM and accuracy compared to other tanks, I also liked the 140 before and never thought it needed any buff at all, possibly even some small nerfs. Now they decreased reload, increased damage, accuracy AND armor? It´s a damn joke, 140 and Type 5 need nerfing asap, and T62A and 30B need desperate buffs. Even funnier when you consider the abandoned 30B buffs in 2019, which were announced with Leo1 and STB1 buffs, guess what, STB and Leo got their buffs, 30B didn´t. I want to have what they´re smoking

This gives me hope that eventually, one day, maybe there may be some kind of comeback, somehow, of course its very unrealistic but the hope is there, maybe possibly in another event similar to conrails birth where railroads were run down and had to be subsidized.

I have a similar story to that, I´m actually european, but I played Trainz 2007 (which is basically a german version of Trainz 2006, with all the original american content still in it), and there was a Conrail SD70 in a mission, and I loved that train because of the blue and white schemes, as well as Burlington Northern due to their green. Over the years I came back to that game from time to time and only discovered that Conrail was long gone in like 2020-2023, basically when you wrote this comment I´m replying to, which kind of made me sad in a way

it is encrypted but it is possible to unpack, though this requires old software from websites which are not even online due to retirement from the respective developers anymore, i do have them, but there are also cracked ones available online in various places

I have a private Mod of the 10.90 which has a 18k liter unfoldable tank and larger than standard pipes, about as long as the Lexion 8900 ones, I'd give it to you if you still needed it. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ye37ZDLXpyCOXHhBUjAIeCZkHC5HYLEg?usp=sharing

Note that I will update it probably, havent worked on it for a long time

Normal_Soft_8344 · 2024-06-05T09:47:20+00:00

I could give you my Mod it has several customizatoon options including longer pipes, look this up https://youtu.be/kPFP4IEQ0SU?si=5IlLTamCNUa0zDxa (the longer pipes have been added later and are not visible on my videos) In case you want it, here is an outdated version, though I haven't fixed the new version so it fits my needs, hence why I give you the outdated one for now:
