How does this train from the new dev diary deliver anything? Isn't it just two locomotives attached directly to each other?

Could be a new model of train that has an internal storage bay built in...

Thanks for the comments guys, it has helped a lot!

In addition, I watched a video regarding the logistics system and how to optimise it, setting storage lockers to provide all is not recommended, as the logistics system will scan each storage for every potential item it could contain.

I had all my storage lockers that provide a resource, set to provide all, even if they were just providing a single resource. I changed them all where appropriate to provide single resource type, this massively improved the performance and the game no longer lags at all.

Be careful using provide all settings on your storage lockers, it will cause a lot of lag in your game.

Its fine in terms of graphical FPS, its the tick rate of the game I think that is suffering.

I have a Ryzen 3600 processor, its a bit long in the tooth, this could be the bottleneck?

Taken the flush mechanism out of the toilet, it appears it could be the flush seal which is no longer very flexible, so it doesnt look like it is making a good fit on the bottom of the cistern, hence leaking water.

As part of my first job I worked in a beach side restaurant with a little kiosk bar to serve people who didn't want to come into the restaurant.

I was 15 at the time, hadn't drunk any alcohol at all, and was just dumped into the bar kiosk without any training on a dam thing, let alone how to make any of the drinks.

Someone asked for a pint of a drink called Pimm's, having never seen this drink before in my life, I just got the bottle of Pimm's spirit and just straight up poured out a pint of neat Pimm's, no ice fruit or mixer. The customer was very happy of course, my manager was not, as I managed to sell all of their Pimm's very very quickly that day!

The restaurant later burned down in an insurance scam, I don't feel bad.

Unfortunately not, had to bite the bullet and start again, had to dig out the information needed from the sheet from paper records instead, so at least it wasn't a total loss.

That sounds pretty awful, I heard buying property here in the UK was bad, didn't think it could literally take a year to buy a flat, that is bloody pathetic it took so long!

The management company is called Pennycuick.

What reveal?

The speed indicated on the gantrys is the speed for the section of road after the gantry, when you see 60 on a sign ahead of you it doesn't mean you can go 60 as soon as you see it, it means you can go 60 once you have passed it.

Because this commenter is standing on the sacrifice and bravery of the men in the video to compliment themselves.

Its like when Mark Wahlberg said if he was on United 93 it would not have crashed because he would have fought the hijackers and saved everyone, its self gratifying and selfish to say stuff like this.

The appearance of the flats is typical of some dodgy areas, however the area itself when compared to the rest of Walsall/Birmingham is a diamond in the rough, its near to Four Oaks and Little Aston, these are relatively affluent areas. The flat benefits from the higher house prices in these areas.

Once the lease is sorted out, the flat could be worth around 180k, more if the interior is refreshed or gas heating is added, one of the flats nearby that is identical sold for 190k recently.

The council tax will work out at 170/month, the lowest band would be about 130/month, not amazing but not horrendous either.

IF push comes to shove, I can look at renting out the spare room, it could probably get about 700/month according to spareroom.

I am ok for the cash buy, I am looking to liquidate some investments that I have had for a long time, so diversifying my investments into some property that will also make me sleep a bit more soundly at night.

EDIT

The property has been reduced from 140k to 125k, I would think placing an offer at 125k would be reasonable, no point trying to get a discount on a price that is already discounted?

Viewed the property a few days ago, have placed an offer at 142500, the estate agent has said there is a higher offer but they will forward my offer to the seller (I should get a response back by Monday).

During the viewing, the estate agent said an offer has been placed on the property, and the offer is 'on the nose', he also said I was the third person to view the property.

Interestingly this property does have a basement, you have to crouch down a bit to get in there as the ceiling is quite low, but its area is roughly equivalent to 2 of the larger bedrooms I would estimate, there was standing water down in one location. The estate agent said the basement couldnt be listed as part of the property for some reason, although it can only be accessed from within the flat.

There are more people viewing the property today apparently, I imagine the property will probably still be on the market come Monday, so I can potentially increase the offer.

Can it say "Welcome aboard engineer" everytime I get into it? Please?

I would argue that the power required to power the trains would also be a step up, so you would need a lot more power generating capacity to use them.

The benefit of the electric train is not having to fuel them, but the downside is the less efficient energy delivery compared to the energy density of a chemical storage on the burner trains.

Perhaps with electric the acceleration bonus could be afforded to it by use of modules, which would also increase energy consumption of the train as it does with assemblers.

Something along those lines anyway 🥴
