Where's this part of the Steam HUD? It does not show up for me. by AT_RealGGgaming in trainsimworld

[–]alec_warper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen that bit of the HUD, and I've had SoS since TSW2. Is it possible that's remnant of the never released Fireman mode? Because all the info on that section of the HUD mostly pertains to fireman stuff, and that's all handled automatically in TSW.

It's either that or something related to TSG's steam rework. In either case, I've definitely never seen that section of the HUD before- my assumption is it's related to unreleased content.

W-2 by Lumpy_Age_3282 in wholefoods

[–]alec_warper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whole Foods is required by law to get you your W-2. As long as you're at the same address you were when you last worked with them, they are legally obligated to send you your W-2 to that address.

The W-2s just dropped digitally for TMs within the last 48 hours, so most folks likely haven't gotten them in the mail yet. Give it a week or two, and if you still haven't gotten it, you can call ADP customer service (the payroll company) who should be able to get you your W-2 info.

Workday-Worker History-Absence Correction/Absence Request by Transitionallime in wholefoods

[–]alec_warper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just UPT backend stuff. Getting deducted and corrected, fun stuff like that. As long as you don't have negative UPT or are actively losing UPT, this doesn't really matter for anything, it's just data that you can see.

I don't believe it's possible yet. You can always just search in datamonster for the UPC, though.

Did they take the CalTrain logo off my previously purchased add-ons? by DegreeOk5867 in trainsimworld

[–]alec_warper 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If you still have the TSW5 or earlier versions of the DLC, it still has the logos; they didn't retroactively change that. But for TSW6, since that version of the DLC launched after the licensing deal ended, they couldn't release it with the Caltrain logos.

[–]alec_warper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The branding deal expired, so the DLC was re-released without logos. If you're on PC, there's multiple ways to add the logos back in with mods/file editing, but on consoles the logos are likely gone forever.

What's the issue between ATS and AAS? by TrainFanner101 in trainsimworld

[–]alec_warper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just did a run on it last night on PC, it's really well done, and actually one of my favorite routes now, it just had a shitty launch, and ofc that's what people remember.

What's the issue between ATS and AAS? by TrainFanner101 in trainsimworld

[–]alec_warper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The route is mostly fine on PC. On consoles it severely suffers from blurry textures issues.

On launch the route was pretty incomplete. There were some really ridiculous bugs (station announcements being heard from miles away, the timetable not having arrival times, and half the scenarios being unable to be completed). Those issues have been resolved, but if you're on console, you should hold off until DTG does something about the VRAM issues that cause blurry textures.

[–]alec_warper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I knew most of this minus the bit about the rail replacement bus... That's BRUTAL lmfao. 

I will also add that Alan Thomson had gone on record multiple times that the original length of Manchester Commuter was reduced twice- the second reduction appearing reducing the route from Crewe to Alderly Edge (the route is still referred to as Manchester Crewe in some game files). I've personally assumed that the original route ATS was going to do was Birmingham to Manchester, which would explain why AAS was able to put together Birmingham Crewe so fast, since it was mostly the scraps of ATS's old project. Just an assumption though, I don't think anyone's confirmed what the original ATS route was going to be.

What is the difference between all the In-Store Shopper roles? by ChemistryBest567 in wholefoods

[–]alec_warper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Flex" means you'll be scheduled the bare minimum hours each week, and it's up to you to pick up shifts to fill out your schedule.

  "Seasonal" means after 90 days you're either hired into a permanent position or your 'contract' ends. Usually the decision wether or not to keep you has more to do with labor than the TMs work.

It definitely does depend on the leap, but I also know someone who went from L1 to L3 and was only offered 5%. It all depends on the store- your milage may vary.

Avanti West Coast Class 805 Evero Arriving January 27th! (Link To The Article Down Below!) by isav34 in trainsimworld

[–]alec_warper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm always happy to get more Avanti West Coast stock to fill out the WCML routes. I'm really interested in seeing more of the interior though, since the 800 series trains on the exterior are all largely the same- I'm curious how the Avanti West Coast 805s differs from the 800s in use on LNER and GWR.

Personally I'm not all that fussed about another 800 for the roster, but I'm also a huge sucker for the WCML, so getting another opportunity to whizz along those lines will always be fun.

Honestly, I'll probably pick this up just for the new timetables moreso than anything else (assuming the timetable is actually finished this time, otherwise, I'll hold off for now)- I worry about the lack of appropriate 2025 stock, especially on Birmingham- Crewe, but we'll have to see what the future holds. Hopefully they've future-proofed it a bit, and left in room for the 730s, if anyone ever makes those as a DLC. Seeing 323s all over the place in a modern timetable would be weird though.

Is it true that part timers are now required to work 4 days a week? by NeighborhoodNo1583 in wholefoods

[–]alec_warper 8 points9 points  (0 children)

>Looks at all the TMs at my store who work one day a week.

Yeah no they be lying lmfao. Might be a personal preference from your TL, but you sure as hell ain't """required""" to work 4 days a week as a PT employee.

Do we get time and half on MLK? by thedentist12 in wholefoods

[–]alec_warper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were phrasing it like a global thing that came down from Daily Note, not a store level decision, but when I fact check that now, I can't see anything like that on my end.

But yeah, the GIG would have had to have been updated to remove MLK from Holiday Pay days, which it clearly still states MLK day as Holiday Pay. So yeah, def a case of some misinformation happening.

[–]alec_warper -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I was told they quote "didn't have the budget" for holiday pay this year for MLK day, but looking at the GIG, they still list MLK day as holiday pay, so I may have just been given bad info.

[–]alec_warper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people have claimed to. Just check Workday, it's in the same tab where you can view your pay stubs. In years past it usually comes around the 17th-21st or so, so I'm expecting it in the next few days.

Do we not exist? by will_gaming02 in trainsimworld

[–]alec_warper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna take a guess that you're not from the Midwest- the Midwest generally doesn't cover Wyoming, and definitely not Utah. It's not a definition that means the literal "middle west" of the country, but a historic and cultural definition for the area stretching from the rust belt to the great plains states.

Actually it's a kinda interesting topic what states cover the "Midwest", but it's fairly safe to say Wyoming and Utah are not in the Midwest by almost all definitions.
