I promise my POV might be uploaded sometime today! LOL! Comcast is not being my friend today... I still love this sawmill layout! I've tried it like, 3-4 times myself, and this one that you made is the best still, kAN!

They should add a MAIL route to earn extra dough and put cabooses to use. Easy to use the existing game mechanics a small dock & crane to load bags of mail and be delivered for $$ at other locations. Even limited to 5 bags at $10 each could keep the exploit rate at bay while still being enough to justify the stop and extra coin. Also fits the era as nearly every train also carried mail, people and food one way or another. Even if this doesn't make it into the game itself there is endless room for mods & extras down the line (pun intended :)

kAN, you and Hyce have unexpectedly created a very entertaining steam train podcast with custom background visuals and sound effects! My son is learning a ton.

A kAN/Hyce crossover where kAN pays a visit to the Colorado Railroad Museum would be something fun to see a video from.

Since the spline update, laying track is such a dream now! Secretly glad to see that the splines haven't affected Hyce's ability to yeet trains into the dirt too

I can't say how excited I am for RRO to be back... And I'm not even a train nerd...

Did my own sawmill lay-out today as well, and boy is it elaborate 😅 Im working with the concept of double track to all the industries, and as little joined tracks as possible. Really makes it a piece of work fitting every piece of track in a (relative) small space

Loving this new series so far, can't wait to see how you expand the CRAP railroad and explore the mountains :D I'm looking forward to seeing some crazy mountain lines soon

It makes me happy to see everyone playing this game again!

One thing I found VERY helpful with circle mode, when you set the degrees to 0 the track will lay perfectly straight. So there isn't any need to lay a bunch of switches or cross sections just to have a straight track. Love the work BTW!

11:15 The famous steam loco barrel roll! Used at every stop back in the day to make sure you stop safely, hehe! Love the series this far, keep it up guys!

This is a great series to watch, it's entertaining and very educational at the same time.

11:17 Bumper: "Do a barrel roll!" Montezooma: "Okay."

Yes! It’s beautiful! I love your railroad’s online content

This has actually inspired me to redesign my sawmill layout! I normally play solo, but I found a friend who plays Railroads Online too, so I need to redo a lot of my trackwork. I won't directly copy this, as I set my railroad up differently, but I'm definitely going to take some inspiration!

The Erie Railroad had a massive yard in Kent ohio, my town, and it was almost like an epicenter for the railroad. It was almost a mile long and a quarter mile wide, and near the south end of the yard, it was curved. Granted it was straight in general, but it curved towards the end

Also, from what I’ve heard the mosca locomotive has a small price, lots of tractive effort and is also the fastest locomotive in the game, and I think you should definitely get it

I respect that he actually worked with a railroad company... has real knowledge... And I must find this game

Oooooh most useful! I've been really struggling with finding a way to link the sawmill to the Ore Mine and the Smelter in the mountain valley Like holy heck I just can't do it without it looking like a dumb rollercoaster...

Loving the series! kAN from my experience, I found making good looking mountain lines is actually trickier than before. This is for 2 reasons. 1. The bridges need to be closer to the ground to place (regardless of visual height) so it is not easy to make valley passes. 2. Circle mode is great, but it made me aware of how tight some of the curves are (so I became self consious and therefore my track didn't have that same hug-the-mountain feel. My lines were all basically bridges running parallel to the mountain instead of against the mountain). Hope these are neglegable issues for you, as I would love to see some cool smelter/coal/iron lines!

I didn’t know about the story Hyce talked about the blue Peter accident. Looked it up and there’s footage of it, it sounds so scary especially because it’s just covered in a cloud of steam. Definitely recommend looking it up if the story peaked your interest

I love the rate that this content is being produced. The publish dates are slow enough that it works for my schedule but fast enough that I remember the previous episode and works with my level of not-busy-and-have-time-to-watch-youtube

I really enjoyed this kind of video, not only was it fun and satisfying to watch, but I really liked how it was a bit educational as well. It was nice just listening to the other guy talk about the history of trains. Making videos that mix both Video games and education sounds like a really awesome concept.

Thank you kan and Hyce! You manage to keep me entertained even when I am sick

My main save uses a curved "receiving" type yard for the trains to come in and drop their cars to send the engine off to service. The yard job comes to get a train and take it over the hump into the classification yard. I've been building up tracks of individual load types so that when I am ready to take a train somewhere, all I have to do is have a yard crew assemble a train with the required loads then empties and hand it off to the road crew and their engine. The curved yard works great, though was a pain to get the way I wanted without switch variants. Curved switches would be great! My secondary save is more of a smooth typical layout for the era, my main save is a more of a modern layout with older era trains.

You and Dapper playing this when it was only weeks old is how I found this game and I love it

I love how KAN still uses the switchs and 90 cross track to lay out the rails. Nice job on sawmill.

yay another video nice job, keep this co op going its amazing keep it up :)

Great Episode, really enjoyed this one.

@kAN if u use circle mode and set the radius to 0 is will make a perfectly straight piece of track

Love this series!

Kan, do you have some aversion to using circle mode to lay straight track? You do not need to use switches to get straight track.

Okay, that’s a pretty slick setup. Glad you started playing RO! again, kAN.

I love this series keep it up

Good to see you back

I just finished my sawmill layout, so I'm excited to see what you did and take inspiration to improve mine

Good issues at the 17:00 point about diverse loads. Currently RRO seems to be more of a "training area" and would need a bigger, more filled in map to make some of the options usable with perhaps some pre-built villages or resources, maybe even in a "realistic" map (if not real world, maybe based on a real world layout) A pre-made map that shows how a "normal" map would look like "in real life." The sandbox part is great, but maybe a bit like Minecraft... some few things to generate in then a lot of room for you to build and add. Maybe community maps are a fill-in in the meantime.

Kan just wanting an answer and hyce giving a 30 second to 7 minute story

I love the the ideal of character's skills like better loading or even map reading.

Maaaaan loving the series! In Europe using the period to abreviate a word or a name it's still being used at least where i live it is

The Roseville California railyard, one of the largest on the West Coast has a large section of curved track for shunt yards. Where they had to bypass of rail disaster where ammunitions train exploded. Because every time they try building there they find more bombs still

I love the shunt yard keep it up!

BUMPERS!!!! Finally!! Also: nice layout, might copy it.

YEEEEAAAAAH love this series

The feel good vibes of this playlist, unbeatable

What a way to think fast and act fast around the 11:00 mark. Great series.

Hyce said something about the polar express. Here in Michigan we actually have the locomotive that was used for the digital rendering for the movie. The engine, 1225, also has a bit of state history and gives rides as the polar express every year.

Love the videos keep it up

The music is soooo soo chill. love it

addition to your idea(upgradable cranes)- the idea is, the places with cranes can be upgraded with certain different materials progressively (level one for example would need coal and planks, and later levels would need oil and steel)

I never knew... this is what I needed

with the new turntables you can attach segments directly to them so all you have to do is rotate them to the angle u want and attach a segment like u would normal track hope this helps when u work with turntables

Great video. Your track turn out really good, Will be cool when you can do custom crossovers. : )

Hi Kan! Have you ever played Space Engineers? I think it would be an awesome game to play with the boys. cheers~!

Nice save on that runaway train 😆

Im Glad hyce is with you for the fun facts

I am 100% going to ''be inspired" by this layout

"if ya ain't got the load, ya ain't got the gold" for the conversation on The kaboose costing money

i love clean sawmills like that, mine is just a giant mess of double tracked crossover goodness with S bends galore

Im early I love your videos you always make my day!!

i love how hyce is doing all the train stuff and kan is just building track XD

Yay 40 min podcast about trains from man and hyce.

the current utility is RROx. They just updated the mapping plugin for new spline, and it also has a bunch of other features, like remotely throwing switches, a minimap, remotely controlling locomotives, teleporting between industries, and much, much more. Nothing for automatic cranes yet, though.

Keep it coming kan

Love your videos

I understand, at most, a fourth of what is said here and I love it.

Y'all should watch the Crash at 11:15 in slow-mo. Makes it more epic watching Zooma Spin in the air like a plane at an air show.

I just can't get enough of KAN and Hyce

This is amazing content

the period at the end of the names is historic witch is supper weird but it is cool to see how much our english has changed in 150 years. Also I love hearing about the locomotive things of real life I know some but not as much as i wish.

one thing this game needs is a way to see any type of track on the map it would be a BIG HELP

The Barrel roll was perfect XD

Glad to see these videos coming out again. Just thinking with the whole lots of people on the track would it be a idea to have signals that the people can control from there person as if to say they have contact with some control room/ signalman (non existent) just open up a world map and change a signal somewhere on the map to let others know not to pass the signal?

The thumbnail just gives me so much satisfaction

You took the words right out my mouth kAN I would love to see towns maybe as u develop industry towns could form … or they could add sort of the progression of society as it presses into the wilderness… Would be good to see building supplies like wood to build buildings then as the town grows , food and minerals and eventually goods for commerce and that could then mean they could add passenger carriages … All wayyyy down the line (pun intended) features

i love this

The periods in names are probably influenced by telegraph syntax since early railroads used them extensively. So instead of 'period', they'd be saying 'stop'. Just a theory anyway

Started trying to play this and he makes it look so easy lmao it’s a task lol

Nice layout, way better then my wiggly track lmao.

I would definitely suggest the mosca over the class 70 when you get there it has more than the speed of the motezuma and is a steal for it reactive effort over its price

I am flabbergasted that kan didn't giggle when hyce said Blue Peter

Great videoguys! I would love to find some other people to play this game with.

I might be getting a laptop and railroads online next month. So I. Very happy

This is literally the layout I've always had at my sawmill 😂

Grate vid Kan

Also even if its not ideal use the strasburg idea in the sawmill lol, switch then scoot on padt the consist and go backwards up the logging camp lol

The whistles play a major 3rd! (Music nerd here... 😁)

15:50 actually true BUT me myself i keep a massive train with 10 cars at the Sawmill fully loaded. So if the sawmill doesn’t have any logs i can just unload it quickly and fill the cars up another time.

Im at 25 min rn and it feels like 10. This game with tbis podcast style is good.

Having laid my iron mine I can say the mountains are very fun

as sad at the blue peter story is, id love to see video of that. just a train doing a 140mph burnout

i just recently stumbled upon your channel and this game so quick question, is this game only on PC or on console as well? (From my research it seems to be leaning towards the former).

22:25 slipping what's that?!! I never have that while driving trains at the Pikes Peak Cog Railway

Wow that’s a first you posted before Hyce

Man, the Blue Peter incident. The driver was actually barely qualified, he was a general steam driver for BR, not an expert on the engine from the Blue Peter group. Grabs the reverser to prevent the priming, swings back around so hard, breaks two of his fingers. The whole outside motion was just trashed, it was YEARS before it could move under its own steam. There’s video of it too! It was on a rail tour and some guy was hanging out one of the windows to get a video of the engine. You can actually hear the moment the engine starts to slip, and when the pistons blow up.

C.R.A.P. railroad: if you ant haulin', you'll start stallin'!

Not even 10 minutes in and kan has a runaway train coming his way with broken track. I also love star fox 64 too older console games feel like more effort was put into them

Just a suggestion, but you could label each loop/switch with a sign like how they do on USA highways. Like Loop 15, switch 5 etc.

More please! :D

kan you can press 8 to switch the liking point on switch tracks to make linking easier
