Wonderful! Thank you KatherineofSky, it's because of videos like this I purchase a lot of new games I never would have heard of, and I absolutely love your talk throughs and explanations of how things work.
I felt so much better after you commented on the "learning curve". Ive just started and was struggling a bit, it left me scratching my head. I got the impression it was intended to be "easy" to play, glad to know that wasnt necessarily the case
I have this on my wishlist! I'm so happy to see you review/play it, it will definitely help me decide on whether to get itvwhen it's available. Thanks KOS 😁
New subscriber here! I love how you did your commentary and I'm already planning to buy this game after reading up on it on forums and I wanted to see what I'm going to be doing and I love watching your playthrough ❤
I've had this on my wishlist forever since it was on Steam, and I know it's coming out tomorrow, I was going to get it immediately. However, the level of micromanagement with the staff really puts me off. It's like Rescue HQ where you have to manually repair all gear and vehicles coming back from missions. Do the Staff manage themselves later with research?
Yes they do. When their perception is higher and they have the proper tools, they are a LOT more automated. This happens very quickly. You can kinda station a person in a particular spot and they'll fix everything in range.
Thanks for presenting this; it looks great. Looking forward to that steep learning curve. I put it directly on my whishlist. However: is the power demand measured in KW per sec? As an engineer, that makes me cringe.....
I'm not entirely sure where that was, the text is to tiny for me to see, but as someone with electrical engineering background, I can totally see a use for kWs as a unit of measurement. We already use kWh, and in a game, time can be compressed so smaller measurements of time could be necessary while still applying the larger measurement of power, thus kWs. That is if they're talking about total power used/generated, otherwise it makes no sense at all.
@@morphman86 The thing is, kW seconds is just the energy you get in a second, which is the definition of power in the first place. That makes it pretty cringy. kWh makes more sense in that you want the energy you get from a source of certain power in an hour, but kWs is a completely useless unit which only really serves aesthetic value.
@@huaen8880 A kWh is not the energy you get in an hour though. It's 3.6 megajoules. Or, since 1 joule per second is 1 watt, it's a constant rate of 1kW produced (or used) over the course of an hour. 1 kWs would therefore be 1 kilojoule, or a constant rate of 1 kW over 1 second. And yes, those two happens to be the same number, but since kWh is a fixed measurement of a fixed amount of energy, it does have a different purpose. Therefore, in a fictional world, where a second is as significant as an hour is to us in our world, it is perfectly reasonable to have the unit of kWs to differentiate it from the energy unit of W. To say something uses 1000W is not the same as saying it used 1kWs, if you understand what I mean.
@@morphman86 :D engineering discussion... i would agree that kWs is uncommon, but very valid unit. In the game however, it is shown as kW/s; so kW PER second, not TIMES second, which definitely makes no sense in this occasion. It would be a energy flow acceleration; not a consumption.
@@theloxxodrome Yeah, that sounds more like bogus to me... Like it was programmed by someone who don't understand what a watt is. Perhaps they meant kilojoules per second?
@@KatherineOfSkyI think the tracks depends on the ground level of the adjacent ground like if you put the ground level two levels down near the tracks and put the platform it will be 2 levels below the surface.
@@jojiriver627 The entrances of the tracks are marked at different point of ground levels, so I don't think they can be altered. E.g. if a track entrance is on level 3, you can't place it on level 1.
Does it come with pickpockets like my sad experience in Paris last week? :( Thanks for looking at this. I am still busy with the F game , but a little variety won’t hurt.
@@recklessroges What gave it away? The 1938 Tube Stock trains? The "Northern" and "Jubilee" lines? The Ticket XPress ticket machines with a purple Oyster card advert on the sides?
@@KatherineOfSky :D I'm sure they say the same thing. P.S. bty, it was meant to be a funny joke, not a criticism, i know you can tell the difference but... you know... just in case

"Omg, we only have Isaac Wilson .. ." I like how you said that, like "geez, I know the guy ... "
Finally. Someone Who Is Actually Trying To Say The Correct Currency. Thank You.
At least you never made a joke about Pounds in weight - I always cringe when people do that
@@Chris-4127 Oof yeah (Don't ask how I replied so quickly lol)
I'm glad i found your channel as i have similar taste in games. And you have an entire series of 'Base Building' games! Thanks, keep it up:)

Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying!
Keep it up Katherine!
I also would place the billboard on the platform (over the other side), they would have to view them then!
That hits a bit too close to home... ;) But yes, they'll definitely _have_ to.

10:39 she just thanos snapped that out of existence.
SO glad your playing this - been following it for ages!!
Hey, do you want a job as Transport Minister? Ours isn't really doing so well.
Upvote for Fate
Love this types of games where you need to use soft skills and combined them with hard skills. Very interesting game. Thanks for sharing.
@23:20 If I couldn't take out trash, I'd despair too! XD
What interesting mechanics. lol
Hey :) I came here by Quill18's recommendation. (though he talked about your factorio content)
But I love every minute of my time spent here.
That's really cool! Welcome!
I love the term "commute em up" xD
I remember the people in this game wanting snack machines or food then the people wouldn't buy anything, they wanted it to be much cheaper. lol
This game looks super commmmmmplicated! Love the simcity graphical vibe tho!
Anything with trains is awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Wilson the handyman of all tasks
I have this on my wishlist! I'm so happy to see you review/play it, it will definitely help me decide on whether to get itvwhen it's available. Thanks KOS 😁
I am so happy you are playing this game :)
I love this. The menu music is brilliant!
There's a HUGE variety of music in the game!
@@KatherineOfSky Yes it seems very diverse.
So happy you're playing this game! Looks like one I'll definitely want to pick up.
intriguing! i hope the devs put in platform screen doors as a platform option
it's sad that even in a game we need to worry about people jumping in front of a moving train ...
New subscriber here! I love how you did your commentary and I'm already planning to buy this game after reading up on it on forums and I wanted to see what I'm going to be doing and I love watching your playthrough ❤
Have fun!
wow it looks like Habbo
London Underground!
This one is on my list! Glad to see you playing it!
this great. love how the people look like they are out of Habbo hotel

Mr. Wilson is protesting. "The crowd is poor and unskilled and there is no one to hire."
Holy fuzzy cats
High prices, overcrowded, no seating, understaffed... Hey, I think you've just created Virgin Trains!
too real
This game looks like fun! Can’t wait for the next episode.
Having to wait 60 mins for another train due to it being full. I have been there in REAL LIFE! lol
How? You have a ticket number and you wait in line?

You can lower the elevation of your tracks and other spaces, like levels of your metro.
You can lower the ground level, but you can't change the level on which the tracks are placed.

Looks like a good fun building game.
Very cool Video ... very cool game ... thanx much for the entertainment ...
Game looks nice but the font is so small I cant even read stuff at 1080p :(
Bonds are for summoning James.

"We need Bonds; Lots of Bonds."
hey KAT how do you rotate the map? i cant seem to know what keys do it..... and great Videos by the way love your work. :)
I haven't played in a while: I don't remember. Check in-game controls or the wiki :-)
@@KatherineOfSky awww okays Np I will ty anyway :)
Oooo, subbed
Does it come with pickpockets like my sad experience in Paris last week? :(
Thanks for looking at this. I am still busy with the F game , but a little variety won’t hurt.
Oh no! Yes, there are criminals in the game. I hope things get better for you!
This game hits a little too close to home
Over crowd great video I hope
Does the music remind anyone else of H3H3?
I don't understand, is it underground or is it on grass?
The top level is on grass, the other levels are below ground.
Lol, if they wanted to make it BPS, why did they use USD greenbacks as an icon?
Because they are iconic.
Subbed
Enjoy the content!
@@KatherineOfSky i am enjoying it
I’m new to the channel. Does this lady always say tasty???
Only when it is tasty.
So its "London Underground" simulator?
Did TFL make this game?
Crossrail is made in sandbox mode.
Its not just me thinking that it tastes a lot like London's "Metro" system?
@@recklessroges What gave it away? The 1938 Tube Stock trains? The "Northern" and "Jubilee" lines? The Ticket XPress ticket machines with a purple Oyster card advert on the sides?
"wow, they are very happy about this. I wonder if we can up the price". Lol, you think like our Government.
It's for their own good! With more money, I can buy more stuff in the station!
@@KatherineOfSky :D I'm sure they say the same thing.
P.S. bty, it was meant to be a funny joke, not a criticism, i know you can tell the difference but... you know... just in case
That depth of field effect near the screen edges is distracting and hurting my eyes. Very odd for that to be in an isometric game like this.
It took me a while to get-used-to/ignore it.
tf
this is reaaly hard to read....
EDIT: Love the game tho
