Rail Kill

Post by applemachine »

I decided to bring in my new resources using open TTD style train system because I thought it would be more efficient and also fun to build. These trains are bringing in a ton of resources and look cool doing it. The only problem is that whenever I have to leave my base or cross the tracks I have to watch for speeding trains ready and willing to turn my brains into spaghetti. I have to admit this danger is kind of exciting. Just before writing this post I was a hair from being turned into a pancake.

I could make a bunch of suggestions like warning lights or crossing sections, but I don't want to. I like risking my life to cross the street. Of course if autosave was disabled, I'd be pissed LOL.

As a side note, would anyone be interested in seeing my train system? I was thinking of making a vid, but wasn't sure if anyone would be interested.

Thanks,
Apples

Definitely. And while I agree with enjoying the excitement, some people wouldn't, so warning lights are still a good idea.

Warning lights, smorning lights. :roll:
Didn't your folks ever teach you to look both ways before crossing the tracks? ;)

If streets/roads would be implemented I think it would be useful.

Or only cross by night? ;)
The sweeping headlight from the engines is so simple, yet it adds so much atmosphere (feeling / flavour) to the game.

On a serious note, then I could imagine that we might get tunnels sometime, that could be used for save crossings. We already have underground belts and pipes.

Warning lights would be easy to create
using an universal way of connecting circuit networks to train signals and rail segments.
I hope the universe will allow for that feature's existence one day :)

I think it is good as is, although adding mag-lev tracks powered by electricity is certainly a must!

Bring it on! (I would prefer pictures over video by the way)
