It's the first one I've had an actual decent amount of space to work with and also the first one I laid the rail through. No idea what I'm gonna do with the workers though. The stalinka buildings look real good too. Planning to fill out the whole plateau. I admit I find myself wishing there was a snap to grid option given that I'm mostly following one anyway. E: It's a small thing but I like that you can draw roads over the corners of junctions to basically smooth them out, and the game actually does a decent job of interpolating most of the time to make basically just a really wide junction. Which helps vehicles maintain their speeds. Although the interpolation is not as good as skylines in most cases I think it actually handles this slightly better, as you can't do that in skylines.

Looking for help on this one: I'm almost certain that this is a bug. I'm sure that train entering the rail construction depot is blocking itself, as no other train is even within a signal of it. There's no way that train should already own the purple section to block itself, right? I'm going to try to back the signals up slightly from the intersection and see if that helps.

That does look like that's what's happening yeah, unless perhaps there is another track builder inside the construction yard which is somehow occupying the track? Though as another question, how the hell did you get a track builder that long? I've only been able to get them to be one cart long and it's shite, they build like ten feet of track and then gently caress off home.

It doesn’t functionally work any longer than the normal railway crane, it just looks bigger. It’s a mod that adds new models of rail builders (and other trains) - it’s in the mod pack I have. And no, the other track builders are actually queued up behind it trying to get home also.

Mayveena asked and a few folks had at least a passing interest in watching me stream the game, so I'm going to give it a shot. I won't clutter up this thread with details on if/when I'm streaming since its tied to my LP, but I'll be starting tonight for a little bit, so pop over into that thread if you want to watch. Generally its going to be late evenings EST, if it sticks around. I might decide I hate it.

As far as I can tell not at all other than the normal pollution generated by the mine and processor, it just goes on a normal truck.

I haven’t gotten to a working nuclear industry yet, but I assume the dangerous part comes from either enriched fuel and/or waste, not uranium ore or oxide. Dunno though!

I don't know how it translates into the game, it should be a fairly simple data mine for someone interested. I think there might even be pollution stats on the buildings otherwise you have the in game monitoring stations to tell. From a realism point of view uranium ore is the most dangerous ore product in the game as a heavy metal. Improperly managed mining exposes the miners to inhalation poisoning by heavy metal and improperly managed tails from ore processing are dangerous as heavy metal sources that can get into the water table. Conversion/purification are high energy processes so there's some occupational danger there but it's all well contained from a pollution point of view. Fuel fab is very mechanical so again occupational hazard but fairly well contained. Because of the danger of it as a heavy metal it is fairly well contained after ore processing so if any part should be dirty it's that. Modeling neglected spent fuel storage is almost secondary to that in my book. I can't over state how many Navajos the US government killed by heavy metal poisoning bootstrapping their nuclear industry by using them in the mines and ore processing, or living downstream of processing tail dumps, and the Soviets were the same by all accounts with forced/penal labor.

Uranium mining and processing is a somewhat dirty industry but the game does not model the fact that I am digging out hundreds of tonnes of uranium rich rocks next to the main river and apparently the majority of that mass is just disappearing in the processing step (which I assume means I am dumping it in the river) and amazingly nobody has keeled over from heavy metal poisoning or started to glow yet, so I think the game just doesn't care about that poo poo.

At a certain point, it just has to abstract things. Industry causes Pollution which hurts Health, which can only be restored by Hospital. Radiation, a special type of Pollution, can be found via a Clicking Noise. I would certainly appreciate the versimilitude of the idea that maybe you need to do something with the remnants of your mining activity, but at a certain point you just can't make the plates fast enough.

Oh sure I get why and I'm not really complaining, I was just a little surprised that uranium mining isn't even particularly polluting as an industry and does not appear to cause any radioactive contamination. (really though I am also a little surprised that the game doesn't simply make ore refining produce gravel as a side effect and make getting rid of it a mechanic)

OwlFancier posted:Oh sure I get why and I'm not really complaining, I was just a little surprised that uranium mining isn't even particularly polluting as an industry and does not appear to cause any radioactive contamination. That would be a great way to generate gravel, or at least crushed stone. So am I understanding you all right that the little Geiger counter on pollution stations either doesn’t seem to do anything or is extremely limited? I’m not sure if I’m reading that wrong. This map is super duper pretty, though I’m not sure I’d ever use it for various reasons. It also uses a ton of mods, and despite having a lot of mods myself, I was still missing a lot of content that I can’t find a way to identify what I’m missing (at least without poking into the files.) Still if you like something pretty to start with and a lot of old towns: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2358797161 It’s clear the guy spent a decent amount of time dressing up a random map and it starts with a port and a ship as a little jumpstart, as well as some other vehicles.

It is possible that only actual nuclear power or late state refining has the potential to generate radioactivity, but I have not noticed any from the uranium ore extraction and oxide production, but neither of those products are listed as requiring shielded containment either so that may be why. The uranium hexafluoride and the nuclear fuel and waste I think are listed as being "heavy rad protection" cargo type and I assume require special transport.

Who ever said tourism was free money wasn't kidding. I built two mountain hotels with a restaurant, a carousel, and a pool and I'm netting 100k a month without expending any resources. I have no idea how they're going to balance this.

dead gay comedy forums posted:greetings comrades, how do you do Get the workshop items for splitters, the base game only has one that splits one input to three outputs, but the workshop gives you one that splits three inputs to one output. The pipe-over-road ones are nice, but note that they'll count as nodes for the heating pipes and effectively cool it so you should avoid where possible. I have a few odds and ends, like rural farms, bakeries, schools, etc so that you don't have the choice between "build expensive infrastructure for a place 1/10th the size to need it", "just move everyone into a city" and "gently caress that village entirely." The rural clinic in particular is a life saver, because building a full hospital for a village of 100 is obscene. There's tiny power plant mods, like diesel generators or RTG generators so that you don't have to wire everything up immediately, but you may view that as cheating.

Seconding to grab at least one of the mods for conveyors. There’s also one in the mod pack for dry bulk (cement/aluminum) but that’s not as necessary. Rob074’s collection has a tiny fire station that doesn’t require heat. This becomes an absolute necessity if you’re playing with fires on, imo. His entire collection is vanilla-like gameplay wise but imo looks nicer and is more consistent stylistically/visually, yet not jarringly different from vanilla that it’s night and day differences. Most everything else is convenience or personal flavor. There’s lots of mods that add smaller versions of things which as mentioned can be very nice.

So this doesn't work and I'm stupid. The vanilla pump (not the mod over-the-road oil pumps) has priorities, making this pointless. Just use a vanilla pump with priorities.

dead gay comedy forums posted:greetings comrades, how do you do Out of Anime Store Adventure's steam collection here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2329453474 My personal essentials would be the top two conveyor mods - conveyor towers and conveyor road and rail crossings. Without these it's a gigantic pain in the rear end making sane industrial layouts because it's incredibly difficult with vanilla buildings to run conveyors over roads. After that I'd recommend updated construction offices, because the default construction offices are way too small and you need at least two of them to get any serious construction done in a timely manner, so just get a mod that lets you plop several vanilla construction offices' of vehicles into one. I like the modded gas stations too if you play with fuelling on, the smaller gas stations are handy because they can easily be tucked into all kinds of places and you very rarely need the capacity of vanilla stations to service 4 vehicles at once.

Yes! I was also quite pleased about the wind farms and the parallel building. Frankly I think the turbines would be good as early power generation and also, perhaps, more reliable than the coal plants if they don't need workers.

quote:Another fix we made relates to double rail stations and chain signals. Often when two trains arrived at chain signals next to the station at the same time, the signals sent them to the same rail and caused them to deadlock each other. Aha! AHA!
