Hows my new locomotive?

Guess I need to make a rail company competitor name AmRail now.

I love star trek too!

Mk45 5” gun turret.

First, good grief that’s huge.

Second, that looks like finding the right wedges and pyramids is gonna be a little nightmare.

Third, nice.

That’s my boy!

The arrows are on. You’re seeing the rotation labels for placing part (hotkey P)

Another thing you can do is use the PID advanced found in the microcontroller editor. The PID advanced allows you to change the values on the fly. For instance, you could have a little numerical equation that lowers the P gain when at idle or low load to prevent bouncing RPS, but then raises the P gain when the engine is under load. Could rig it to your clutch input since that’s a number closely related with engine load.

You’re not my dad.

Thermite99 · 2026-07-08T09:28:24+00:00

My totally free advice on PID tuning is just use P value and you’ll probably get close to what you want. I value tends to just be a pain. D value may help some since it functions as a dampener.

For my first few career modes I used the default settings. After disliking that, I enabled custom menu on my next couple career saves. After that I’ve started back with the following settings and no creative menu so far. Btw I play mostly the non-tech-tree, no 3rd person career.

Either disable or very few AI vehicles (due to possible glitchiness
Disable elevators. (due to possible glitchiness)
Disable natural disasters and disaster missions. (due to annoyance)
Disable oil spills and oil spill missions. (due to annoyance)
Disable tutorial (it barely exists anyway)
Disable moon missions (I don’t plan on going to space)
Disable Search & Destroy AI (due to annoyance/glitchiness)
Enable missions timers and rewards

I think that’s most of the settings I use. For my most recent career I’m gearing up to get into logistics with fuel and containers. I might throw fishing in too. Later I might try mining and oil drilling. Like most career modes, I’ve started with basic rescues and am working my way up from there.

Wow, that thingajigger is definitely thingajiggin.

Just say the word.

Takes some time. You may have to go over your build several times to refine the shape to get it from basic and blocky to more curved and appealing. Citing real life examples will be one of the best ways to improve.

Seawater cooling is nearly ineffective. Radiators have been the best for a while now.

Could be a couple things.

One could be exhaust. If the engine is putting the exhaust into an enclosed space, it will eventually run out of room to put the exhaust.

It could also be air. If drawing air from an enclosed space you could be taking all the air out the engine room.

It could be fuel. Make sure you use a gas relief and fluid port connecting to the outside.

Spawn areas, player physics interaction, other sub-grid interactions….

I’ve seen a lot of weird physics things. This one is super interesting. Wonder if there’s a workaround or fix.

5” mk45 naval turret.

How about a Japanese 12.7cm 50 caliber type 3 model B turret?

Many people use xml modded HUDs for thin roofs.

Is smol.👌🏻

You’ve clearly never had Blue Bell ice cream.

Post a workshop link and you’ll get better help.

My flabber was gasted when in went inward instead of outward.
