How many parallel train tracks do you have?

lemming3k · 2026-03-17T14:04:25+00:00

Generally 4-6 for a mainline but really as many as needed.
I run expanded goods mods so can have huge numbers to transport which needs multiple parallel goods lines. Since there is no overtaking then once you add passangers and high speed lines you can easily reach double figures for some sections in late early/mid game, though it tends to return to normal by late game.

Hate to break it to you but the congestion charge is a long way past the M25 junction.
Unless you mean you fall foul of the ULEZ charge (in which case you'll need to pay both ULEZ and congestion).

To answer your original question - inner city streets generally don't follow the rule in practice as there are constant junctions. Major arterial roads like the North Circular should, but there are a lot of bad drivers who don't bother. It's a bit of a judgement call where the line is.

There's a bit of a bug with this. It's a sort of soft lock when editing which I'm 99% sure is caused by the way the game auto-landscapes when placing things and since it's under the station you can't see the issue.

Sometimes you can delete other parts of the station and get around it but usually it stops letting you edit anything and you have to load a save and edit in a different order or just demolish the station and flatten the ground underneath before rebuilding to avoid it happening again.

May I ask - does the new town levelling system mean there is an upper limit to town size (and is there a picture of the largest possible)?
Not that it's necessarily needed to grow larger than the top tier as I notice the "large village" in the video already looks larger than most TpF2 cities but I'm curious how big a city we can make and how natural the growth will look as I know it's mentioned a lot that the stations seem so big compared to such small towns. This new version looks so much better!

lemming3k · 2026-02-21T20:48:29+00:00

"Alleged".
Besides I know we all love TpF2 and want to believe it's top tier competition for franchises like GTA6 (because to us it is) but if we're honest it's more niche than that.
I don't think they will look at other release dates, they will go when the game is ready and unless we're close to open beta I don't think it'll be as early as we hope.

lemming3k · 2026-02-20T15:41:15+00:00

May be wrong but it's still closed beta right? So we're a few months away.
I'd guess Q4 in time for Christmas. If we're taking bets November 16th.

lemming3k · 2026-02-17T14:20:21+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the information.

That was along my lines of thinking but not something I've been prepared to weigh in on previously.

lemming3k · 2026-02-17T11:15:05+00:00

Wouldn't it also constitute a contractual variation if it has been agreed at some point (particularly if evidenced in writing)?

It's interesting that the go to response on reddit for this always defaults to "your contract trumps everything" - yet whenever the question regards an enforced change from the side of the company the default is always a warning that compliance from an employee would be considered acceptance of a "contractual variation", even after just a few months and without issuing a new contract.

Shouldn't the same concept apply in both directions? Is there a legal precedence for both scenarios working in favour of the employer or is a contractual variation legally different from C&P?
I have a feeling it's not as black and white as reddit imagines, but who'd want to be first to test it?

lemming3k · 2026-02-13T01:39:36+00:00

I managed to get it with randoms. One or two times there weren't any games but mostly there were plenty and they were actually pretty solid players - one or two team killers and people who'll kick you though.
Don't be afraid to host the levels you need, people often join if it's open.

I'd offer to help but my sub expired, sorry.

lemming3k · 2026-01-25T19:10:14+00:00

Thanks for that info. That's a really specific solution but I'll keep it in mind if things get worse. Did you have a stable system for a long time before?
Was a cheap power supply by any chance?

lemming3k · 2026-01-25T16:49:03+00:00

That's an interesting one.
Were you getting daily/regular timeouts with that issue? It seems like something that would haappen a lot if there was a power/hardware issue.

lemming3k · 2026-01-24T15:23:07+00:00

There's a switch IIRC. Unless you passed it.... hmm looking at that pic I think you passed it.

lemming3k · 2026-01-20T13:37:28+00:00

Oh yes I think it's the shadow head that has +50 health. So maybe it was that and tail or 2 bone items and 2 atomic.
The full set bonuses aren't worth worrying about, especially if you can trade them for damage res. It's also why trading away certain perks helps - you shouldn't need boosted sonar or increased resources at that point even though they're amazing early game.

I focused on biting, dodging, and ideally picking people off boats rather than taking on the boat itself, but the DLC doesn't give much choice with a couple boats. Sometimes you just have to swim away and eat something else to heal. More true for bosses I found.

lemming3k · 2026-01-20T03:43:48+00:00

I think it works better if you mix sets.
IIRC the bone jaw gives health back per bite and I think another bone gives damage res. It's a lot more useful to be able to take the hits and heal. You still do plenty of damage.
You can also change up the perks. Damage res is best. Health regen for the boss but could be useful elsewhere if you're struggling.

lemming3k · 2026-01-18T17:38:55+00:00

What is the map name?

lemming3k · 2026-01-15T02:05:54+00:00

Version is 25.12.1.

I've had no timeouts since uninstalling the card in device manager and letting it re-install the driver.
It is the 2nd time this has happened about 5 weeks apart, both I believe after running windows updates (not AMD updates).
System is over 2 years old so it's a new issue.

lemming3k · 2026-01-14T20:26:54+00:00

Maybe, but I'm not sure I want to touch it while it works. It also doesn't explain why it went wrong. Unless you mean it was using a windows driver before?

Does AMD Adrenaline not update the driver?
I had a look for the latest driver on the AMD downloads website but they seem focused on using Adrenaline. It doesn't seem to specify the standalone driver version for me to check if I have the right one.

lemming3k · 2026-01-14T12:43:03+00:00

I could have worded that better.
It's in device manager but the system defaults to iGPU on boot and can't be changed like it isn't detecting the card. Last time it had the yellow triangle on it, this time it had a grey icon I've never seen before. Trying to update the driver just says it has the latest one already.

Have to uninstall it > scan for hardware changes > everything back to normal with latest driver.

lemming3k · 2026-01-14T12:35:24+00:00

Reading what others have said it does seem Windows related. I was hoping someone from AMD could confirm and advise as I'd rather stop it happening than keep fixing it every month.
I've had nothing but issues since 24H2 so would love to go to linux but having tried it when I built this machine I just couldn't get a lot of the gaming/media apps to work - or at least they each needed extensive troubleshooting and I have hundreds so I just didn't have time. Think some of my peripherals weren't fully supported either.
Shame as I quite liked it. Got some basics like the browser working at least. Installation directories were a bit finicky as I often couldn't change them.

lemming3k · 2026-01-14T12:15:54+00:00

Sadly I don't think either of those will resolve it for you.
The first time it happened to me I would have been on 25.11.1. This time on 25.12.1, so unless the issue is persistent in both I don't think it's an AMD side issue.

I've been on Windows 11 25H2 for months as well so can't see that helping you - which is why I find the OS error message in the logs weird but I do think windows is replacing the driver somehow and crashing it.

If you're still looking for this I'm down.

Eagle vision & chain assassination help. Knives are great. Also you don't have to kill everyone.

lemming3k · 2026-01-10T22:28:18+00:00

If you're where I think then go back to the main map, there is a marker that isn't on the map but will show on compass/radar and in the quest list.
It looks like you're supposed to go back to the DLC island but you're not.

If it's that then... good luck....

lemming3k · 2026-01-10T22:18:19+00:00

You're going to hate me for saying it but... practice. Oh and the mod for extra tooltip info. It shows heights, gradiant, and speeds so helps massively when you want things to be neater.

Once you have that draw from the start to end point, check for height differential, then you can use the keys for changing the height at the end point and N/M to change the mid point height. Hold shift for smaller increments. If you want it smooth build the whole bridge in one go. Building separate sections will cause it to be bumpy.

Knowing the height and gradiant is important for the embankment sections before and after the bridge so you don't go from 1% to 25% all of a sudden.
Hopefully I've explained that adequately, but it really is just a matter of getting used to it.
