Too Much Coal? 1 Mikado vs 2400 tons | Railroader S1E19 

Tiny but powerful drivers.

Yep, the tutorial covers that and I've shown it quite a bit in the series. Thanks for watching!

@@KerboOnYT ah, I didn’t know you already covered it in the past. Great video btw, Railroader is really starting to become one of my favorites to pass time playing and watching others play

And Shift+9 or 0 to move one car at a time.

I found that the berkshire is a monster that can haul 2000 tons at 20 mph up to alarka jct from bryson. Didnt test it out but i think she could do 2500 or more.

It may change in the future but right now you'd have to visit all stations so down and back up the Alarka branch

@@KerboOnYT I’ve done this by running a longer “main” passenger train running from Whittier to Andrews (I haven’t decided to buy the Class 1 trackage to Sylva yet). I put every city on the line, INCLUDING Cochran and Alaska Depot. Then I run a passenger train between Alarka and Alarka Jct with all stops between Alarka Jct and Andrews checked off. I set it so both trains arrive at Alarka Jct about the same time. When they are both at the Junction station, I remove all but Cochran and Alarka Depot from the passenger stops list on the Alarka-Alarka Jct train, and also remove Alarka Depot and Cochran from the passengers list on the train to Andrews. When I click on the Passengers tab for the Alarka Jct station and it’s kind of fun to watch passengers all transferring from train to train. Once all the transfers have taken place, send the main train in its way and use the eye at the Jct to turn back to Alarka, stopping at Cochran on the way. Returning from Andrews it’s the same in reverse: all stations are given as destinations for the Andrews-Whittier “main train” (I use an Atlantic on that) and for the train out of Alarka depot, only Cochran, Alarka Jct and all stations between Alarka Jct and Whittier are listed. When the two trains meet at Alarka Jct (one on each side of the wye) I remove all destinations between Alarka Jct and Whittier from the Alarka branch train, and ADD Cochran and Alarka Depot to let passengers getting off the main train that the Alarka branch passenger train (using a ten wheeler) is returning down the branch to those towns, and, again, remove Alarka and Cochran from the passenger stops on the main train. Once the passengers transfer, let ‘em both go. It’s working reliably for me. -Steve

If you look at your contract you'll see what percentage bonus you get for same day delivery, one day, two day, etc. I don't know if reputation is harmed, but you definitely get paid less

@@KerboOnYT thank you sir and another great video!!!

Hold Shift+?

@@KerboOnYT Thanks

I do that kind of thing for a living, where I work out a good plan with real world data. When I'm playing games it's more fun for me to just wing it and see what works. Thanks for watching!

It's a contract like the other businesses

@@KerboOnYT the only thing I’ve been able to get is mining supplies I think that comes before coal because every time I try to click on a open hopper the Robert Robertson gap coal mine does not appear just all the coal loaders

​@@TexasRailfan21-RailfanRyan You won't use your own cars. You need to deliver mining supplies in order for the mine to start functioning. The mine will then order empty hoppers from the interchange when it needs them

@@KerboOnYT gotcha thanks

A real life railroader was calling it mi-kay-doh and he didn't look beat up 🤷‍♂️

I have never heard anyone say that before@@KerboOnYT

Properly it’s Mih- or Mee-, not muh-, but I’ve heard them called Mikes and even Mike-a-doos frequently

That's good to know. I drive a big rig, and some times you have know clue how to pronounce a city name. Like Kammerer, PA. Pronounced Kuhmeer.

I've had it from some locals that it's ell-lah so take your pick :D

now i'm just confused @@KerboOnYT

The dev said wheel slip is modeled, but I've yet to run into it. You need a pretty powerful locomotive from what I gather

Hold Shift+? and then it will show under mouse pointer. The camera has to be pretty close to the track.

Kerbo is right. Also the route map found on Discord shows the major grades and percentages (and in which directions). Worst is out of Nantahala towards Topton it reaches 4.5%

The controls are in the guide which is located in the upper right of the screen. Ctrl-P hides UI

If you mean maps of the railroad that show grade and siding capacities then that is on the Railroader Discord. The link is in the description

hm, i dont like Discord, so that´s perhaps no game for me. @@KerboOnYT

@@kubanskiloewe That's your choice of course. The map was made by members of the community and shared on the Discord for all to use along with some other great resources. The in game map might be more detailed in the future, but I haven't heard anything definite

so, there will be no maps from the game developers ? the stock map looks tiny and boring. @@KerboOnYT

@@kubanskiloewe This is early access. See the last sentence of my last comment

I don't know. I'm running default settings for the most part

So close!

The Atlantic does just fine

I'm not sure what you mean. Which pressure?

If you're looking for people to play with, check the Railroader Discord. It's linked on the Steam store page.

@@KerboOnYT Im in it

Dee dee mega doo doo?
