+Dharmesh Mistry (daggerdraco) Perfect ambush, though in a practical sense it would take a lot of time positioning and planning though if anyone pulled it off you can bet your train will be scrap, in the most epic way possible.
Arron! Make this a team deathmatch video with the other guys, one team has to defend the train, the other uses either tanks or fighter planes to take it out before it reaches a goal. That would be awesome!
+Aaron Idstein Too easy, only a few shot to the track would take it down. He would have to build rail segments with a build in projector so the welders on the train can auto-repair while driving.
+LastStandGamers A snow plow design would work better I think, you should have peak of the slope on one of the sides rather than the middle as then you still have the chance of it going under rather than being swept aside.
+LastStandGamers Also, put a projector underneath the train, right before or after the welders, so you can weld the tracks in case they are missing. And maybe you could add this and the welders to every single wagon.
LastStandGamers just wanted to say thanks for the videos you've made of you and sage and TheXPGamers have given me so much inspiration and you take so long to make every videos all of you. I think you all should keep up the good work and I don't care what people say you are one of the best content creates. You and sage and tazoo make a great survival series keep up the good work.
Trains! Such an excellent and simple idea. Cant' believe I completely overlooked it. That will make my own survival game quite interesting and far more entertaining! Thanks for the brilliant idea!
+Avi E it's probably just a design without much interior, and there's really no purpose for some highly detailed interior on a battle train. also i think that he didn't pay much attention to the interior as it seems that he wanted to show it to us first, then maybe try to improve the design and work on it a bit more.
Is the train able to turn at all? P.S. you can put a wedge in front of the train to knock stuff off. Or you can make a sort of sideways slide like snow plows use.
How about building sensors on the train to automatically stop if somethings on the track or adding security cameras to the train or even the side of the track
Henry? He built the actual design aka the top layer which holds the cargo and such, but he explicitly states how the actual design of the wheel track isn't his at 1:00. So there you go, he built the train, but does stae that he did not come up with the track idea.
A very nice armored train you had there. I might have to install Space Engineers & try to build one for myself. If I may offer one suggestion, most armored trains would have had an extra carriage called a "control car" coupled to the front & rear. This was basically just a flatcar, usually either empty or carrying sandbag barricades for auxiliary troops to shoot from behind, or spare rails, crossties, and supplies for repairing damaged track. The purpose was that if the train came across displaced rails, or worse bombs strapped to the track, the non-essential control car would be the one to derail/be blown up before any of the more valuable/more difficult to re-rail carriages reached the problem.
I noticed you didn't have the welders turned on under the front cab? also you could fit a type of cowguard on the front as a ram to protect the welders and wheels?
I personally would make a tube shaped train with the track going through the center, two welders on the inside before the wheels and two or more grinders on the front, thanks for sparking my mind.
the ending looks like something I did in just cause 3 where I blew up a train bridge, except for the fact that one of the bridge sections only tilted slightly in such a way as to ping the train engines that come into contact with it into space
Just for the sake of wanting to make something like this myself some time, how would you ease the train into a turn without totally derailing it or breaking the rail?
Arron, to make it so that the train cannot be stopped by destruction, you shoud make the track a hologram so that when the welders go over then, they build the track.
What's it called? Monorail! Oh and you could build a train thats constanlty builds its rail by attaching a projector to the front where you had the welders
here's some quick ideas: add a detector to detect if the track is damaged enough, so it won't go off track. add another detector to detect blocks in front, so it slows down, also put some saws to cut any debris , you may also want to add some drills to clear rocks. another fix against track damage is making the tracks like this: [HA][HA][HA][HA][HA][HA][HA] [proj] [HA] is heavy armour, [proj is a projector that project this blueprint] so if anyone tries to sabotage the track, the train should weld the blueprint as it goes.
this is very interesting, although i have some questions first i wanna get a better look at the rail line attachment system. second can it take curves or hills at all. third if the planets are in fact round, and you have a straight flat track will it go into the atmosphere once crossing the horizon or are we having some serious space time warping going on? its an interesting idea, and works well for something like a tram system without thrusters... but it really comes down to whether you can turn it or not. because if you can't turn it, you would need multiple connections to get around a large multiperson base. i could see a semi futuristic metropolis in SE using this train based tram system as a commuter thing. interesting. very interesting to be honest.
why don't you have the snow plough on the front of the train, you know like the ones on older trains. it could probably fix the problem about derailing as soon as it hits an object on the train track.
i'd use a ramp sloping upward on a piston, also with regards to end of track set up a sensor with a narrow beam to view track and make sure there is track infront of it, if not it will stop the train maybe?
this looks Like a really great idea for an rp series or just a thing to get friends together using tracks to send each other (ally teams or maybe even a market) items back in forth, even simple cargo train carts sending back and forth sounds like a fun idea, and small transportation trains, which would also be fun for a fight as well if using more tracks close together
I wonder, if there will be possible to use any head train car with welders and projectors?, which could build this type of rail ahead of train going to empty space (ending of rails) and continue so on on newly build rails
this was in the steam workshop before you built it, and it looked exactly like this train but it was red and it didn't have the turrets. Did you just download it and tweak it a bit?
+TheDesertFoxProduktion Until LastStandGamers puts it up on the workshop, you can download a very similar design (actually the original) here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=452634918
To protect from stuff on the track put a beam in front and have it angled to one side to push it off the track before the main part of the train hits it
I think with the front you should take it more in the direction of a traditional train and have somewhat of a plow on the front. Because the design that is there is basically begging to have something shoved in front of it.
hey try putting a hologram building thing (forgot the name) on the front so it can build a track in front of it if necessary as well as a drill so it can build through any mountains that might get in its way (you will have to slow it down if you use a drill. not sure if this is possible but if so please make a video of the improvement.
+Matthew Richey Somebody has already done that but they then decided to build grinders to destroy its path which doesn't make much sense and the welders should be detachable as they should only be needed once. :D
Max B why would it need grinders? its not a one way trip, it goes up and down many times so removing its pathway seems like a waste of time to me, if your trying to hide the fact your transporting goods then a spacecraft would do the job better.
With the vehicle on the train problem Ve made that before and what I did was put upward slopes in the middle coming to a blunt point then the vehicle either got smashed to bits or got flunk off the tracks with little damage to the tracks.
This is an awesome build. I am thinking for the front of the train you could build something on the lines of a snowplow blade to push things out of the way. And as for the wheels and welders underneath. If you look at how most monorails are built the bodywork extends down and around so you could in theory extend the armor down to cover the weak points of the wheels. just one question. What is the top speed you have had out of this train so far? Maybe look at some SciFi armored trains that have a jet propulsion system as an inspiration for making a high sped train. :) Keep up the great work. Love your vids. Cant wait for more of season 4.
this is a good concept but in a game where weapons are so easily obtained what's stopping them frome putting mines on the track or placing a hidden missel barasgh and looting the train
you gotta credit when creditis due. most of tis is modifying steam workshop content. I got a train from workshop identical to the lower half of this and it is way older. same with a lot of your other stuff.
Beautiful! XD Even if quite unpractical.. Anyway, make the rail sturdier and put a few turrets on the lower side of the train to reach enemies near the pilons.
add a projector projector projects from the train some armor blocks on the track if the gets blown off the train automaticly rebuilds the track with the welders
Hey an idea to is to raise your tracks another level and build your armor down and around the track. Then you can use ramps to scoop and push...use the space ball to slide along the track?
Aha! I have an idea! Why not have a "mission" where an armoured train is heading for your maximum security prison with an important prisoner, and one team has to defend the train, while the other team needs to stop the train and recover the "prisoner".

yus
+Aaron Idstein Sounds like that level in Unreal Tournament
Ya that would be cool for a mini game 👍
+Aaron Idstein Too easy, only a few shot to the track would take it down. He would have to build rail segments with a build in projector so the welders on the train can auto-repair while driving.
+Aaron Idstein yes great idea
hey aaron try putting a cow catcher that was put on old steam engines to push cows off the tracks or a snow plow shape on the front should fix that
+The Rebel That's a great idea like just seen one on the more traditional steam trains.
+LastStandGamers yep and it will also protect welders, can also add the skirt around the bottom to protect the wheels to.
+The Rebel what about turns
+LastStandGamers A snow plow design would work better I think, you should have peak of the slope on one of the sides rather than the middle as then you still have the chance of it going under rather than being swept aside.
+LastStandGamers Also, put a projector underneath the train, right before or after the welders, so you can weld the tracks in case they are missing. And maybe you could add this and the welders to every single wagon.
"Normally I'd encourage robbing trains, but with these guys, it's probably safer just to destroy it."

you know aswell?
yes
Soooo... much haters..

Thanks for the brilliant idea!
game crashes and everything explodes.
Arron: Beautiful
This was originally the dawnstar made by ravik
no interior tour? :(
+Avi E It looked like most of it was just a hollow shell. That's probably why it split in half so easily at the end.
+Avi E
it's probably just a design without much interior, and there's really no purpose for some highly detailed interior on a battle train. also i think that he didn't pay much attention to the interior as it seems that he wanted to show it to us first, then maybe try to improve the design and work on it a bit more.
+Avi E Its ravricks Dawn-Star Train only re skined with heavy amour.
+Lachlan Landreth Yes it is, the steals other's design's and take them for him self!
The Iridium Gamer Such a shame he is a fruad, he brings people to the great game know as SE.
Is the train able to turn at all?
P.S. you can put a wedge in front of the train to knock stuff off. Or you can make a sort of sideways slide like snow plows use.
+Casey Cattron the wheels look like they are attached to rotors so they should be able to turn and go around corners
Komrade You cant, it would be a long corner of straights that are cornered at like 30 degrees every time until you've finished the turn.
How about building sensors on the train to automatically stop if somethings on the track or adding security cameras to the train or even the side of the track
He says clearly at 1:00 that he is using Ravric's creation. Not hard to hear or understand.
you are the most inventive person i know and you deserve a nobel price!
Can you please do more episodes with the train? This is one of the coolest things I've seen on Space Engineers
You didn’t make this train.
Henry ?
Henry? He built the actual design aka the top layer which holds the cargo and such, but he explicitly states how the actual design of the wheel track isn't his at 1:00. So there you go, he built the train, but does stae that he did not come up with the track idea.
that is ravrick train yours
Yup
Grammar much???
"No it's just split in half" I swear you're the only person to not be amazed by the fact that you SPLIT A TRAIN IN HALF
"The conductor does not see the track coming in!"
Of course not.
THERE IS NONE.
I always enjoy these kind of videos from you. It does inspire and makes me want boot up SE more and more!
Thank you!
That train destruction at the start looked sick. Also You should build a roller coaster with the same design of track and grip.
A very nice armored train you had there. I might have to install Space Engineers & try to build one for myself.
If I may offer one suggestion, most armored trains would have had an extra carriage called a "control car" coupled to the front & rear.

I noticed you didn't have the welders turned on under the front cab? also you could fit a type of cowguard on the front as a ram to protect the welders and wheels?
How about a nuke.
Instead of causing a gigantic explosion,it launches millions of spiders
I call it"Arron's love"
Let me guess,he will just stole something from Workshop and just change the color.
love your videos man especially the survival series. my only complaint is I wish the videos would come out more often.
coolest space enginers train ever keep it up
Could you make some sort of track layer on the front so you can keep going and change direction somehow?
amazing! very smart! see you in the international space station fellow!
I personally would make a tube shaped train with the track going through the center, two welders on the inside before the wheels and two or more grinders on the front, thanks for sparking my mind.
the ending looks like something I did in just cause 3 where I blew up a train bridge, except for the fact that one of the bridge sections only tilted slightly in such a way as to ping the train engines that come into contact with it into space
Could a projector be used with the welders to build new track infront of the train as it goes?
God damn, I just got into Space Engineers and had no idea stuff like this was possible.
I can't imagine this is very practical with you know, space ships. In addition it leaves a literal line leading to your base.
really enjoyed this concept!
Just for the sake of wanting to make something like this myself some time, how would you ease the train into a turn without totally derailing it or breaking the rail?
Arron, to make it so that the train cannot be stopped by destruction, you shoud make the track a hologram so that when the welders go over then, they build the track.
I've been wondering, how do structures deal with the planetary curvature?
What's it called?
Monorail!
Oh and you could build a train thats constanlty builds its rail by attaching a projector to the front where you had the welders
my questions are how do you build that on the rail system in creative and secondly I hope when the kinks are worked out its put on the workshop
how did you connect the cars? i don't think you explained that in the video. you used connectors, but how were the cars able to move independently?
here's some quick ideas: add a detector to detect if the track is damaged enough, so it won't go off track. add another detector to detect blocks in front, so it slows down, also put some saws to cut any debris , you may also want to add some drills to clear rocks.
another fix against track damage is making the tracks like this:
[HA][HA][HA][HA][HA][HA][HA]
[proj]
[HA] is heavy armour, [proj is a projector that project this blueprint]
so if anyone tries to sabotage the track, the train should weld the blueprint as it goes.
That was awesome, maybe do a multiplayer game where people in tanks try to take the train out before it gets to the drop off point!
Projector on the front for self replicating tracks? Just a thought.
this is very interesting, although i have some questions
first i wanna get a better look at the rail line attachment system.
second can it take curves or hills at all.
third if the planets are in fact round, and you have a straight flat track will it go into the atmosphere once crossing the horizon or are we having some serious space time warping going on?
its an interesting idea, and works well for something like a tram system without thrusters...
but it really comes down to whether you can turn it or not. because if you can't turn it, you would need multiple connections to get around a large multiperson base.
i could see a semi futuristic metropolis in SE using this train based tram system as a commuter thing.
interesting. very interesting to be honest.
Any links or recomendations to these WW1/2 train documentaries?
What you could do is use a projector so that if there were no track it would weld new track as it moves as opposed to repairing damaged track.
Hey Drake Could you do and inside view of the troop transport
why don't you have the snow plough on the front of the train, you know like the ones on older trains. it could probably fix the problem about derailing as soon as it hits an object on the train track.
i'd use a ramp sloping upward on a piston, also with regards to end of track set up a sensor with a narrow beam to view track and make sure there is track infront of it, if not it will stop the train maybe?

The possibilities in this game seem so endless.
this was in the steam workshop before you built it, and it looked exactly like this train but it was red and it didn't have the turrets. Did you just download it and tweak it a bit?
Post on workshop? Understand it may just be eye-candy right now, but would you put it on workshop when it can deal with a road block?
+TheDesertFoxProduktion Until LastStandGamers puts it up on the workshop, you can download a very similar design (actually the original) here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=452634918
Adipose Express Already have that, but thanks anyways :)
if you put a sensor on the front of the train, you hcan have it set to stop if something gets in the way
To protect from stuff on the track put a beam in front and have it angled to one side to push it off the track before the main part of the train hits it
Hey, guys, is all of you having the problem as me?
It buffer to long at it goes 144p and when try to go 1080p it basisly doesn't work
Cow Catcher, Cow Catcher, Cow Catcher, Cow Catcher, Aaron they're a real thing.
could you adapt it to a dual rail design and make the front of the train a wedge that goes between the rails?
+Mr Jay White He didnt build the rail/bogie system, Ravrick did
I think with the front you should take it more in the direction of a traditional train and have somewhat of a plow on the front. Because the design that is there is basically begging to have something shoved in front of it.
How did you spawn the tanks like that? It might be simple question, but I'm new to Space Engineers
Can you please place this train in the work shop? or make a tutorial how to build it?
i am trying to build one but its very hard
hey try putting a hologram building thing (forgot the name) on the front so it can build a track in front of it if necessary as well as a drill so it can build through any mountains that might get in its way (you will have to slow it down if you use a drill. not sure if this is possible but if so please make a video of the improvement.
+logan sigmon I wonder if this could be used, vertically, to make an space elevator.
+Matthew Richey Somebody has already done that but they then decided to build grinders to destroy its path which doesn't make much sense and the welders should be detachable as they should only be needed once. :D
+Matthew Richey it can, but it has to be on a station fixed to the ground and the elevator needs welders and grinders when it goes back down
+Matthew Richey Yeah ... Theres Already YT Videos About Self building Space elevators
Max B why would it need grinders? its not a one way trip, it goes up and down many times so removing its pathway seems like a waste of time to me, if your trying to hide the fact your transporting goods then a spacecraft would do the job better.

Well, this is pretty badass.
That train is sick!
build more stuff like this. cause this is awesome
Happy new years and also, how would it handle an airborne enemy?
There should be a ram in front of the train and because it is monorail train I think wheel area can be armored to.
train 180's and explodes "BEAUTIFUL"
plz help when i try to play the screen is just black it plays music and i can click thing but the screen its black
you know you cloud use it for supply runs through the planet or use the same design for people getting across
I think that you could use a sort of snow plow on the front to clear debris from the track
Can you please post a download link to this train? I'd love to try it out.
This is an awesome build. I am thinking for the front of the train you could build something on the lines of a snowplow blade to push things out of the way.

It has some super Space Engineer-ish ships in it and I bet you'd love it if you haven't yet seen it..
this is a good concept but in a game where weapons are so easily obtained what's stopping them frome putting mines on the track or placing a hidden missel barasgh and looting the train
you gotta credit when creditis due. most of tis is modifying steam workshop content. I got a train from workshop identical to the lower half of this and it is way older. same with a lot of your other stuff.
akaeron wolf Yup, he stole the train and modified it, and passed it all off as his own, utterly no credit to the original designer.
TotallyNotFun yes sadly.... he is so talented why does he feel the need to steal stuff? he coud go so far...butlike this he is pushing hks lik
Rewatching and i do agree. Credits need to be given aaron even if modifications are done. Shame
can you do another video on this with more possible crsshes?
Very awesome indeed!
Will this go on the steam workshop by any chance?
Beautiful! XD
Even if quite unpractical..
Anyway, make the rail sturdier and put a few turrets on the lower side of the train to reach enemies near the pilons.
that's badass bro hahaha I love it.
This train should deliver prisioners to your prision.
the turrets on the train are an unique piece buildins or they are built from many pieces?
+Matteo Disconsi for example the big cannons on the top
you need to figure a way to go around corners, maybe with one of them railway turntable things
The enemy has been reinforced with an armoured train.
Toby Thurlow White xD lol
Can they go uphill though?They look awesome when they wreck >.
What Mod did you use for the 120mm Cannons?
holy shit that's not a bad idea for survival. I wouldn't make it military style but simple a transportation across the planet.
Is any of this on the workshop??
that was cool i love armored trains
only thing I would change would be to add a progector at the front of the train so that if the track is broken the train can repair it
have two trains ram each other. and for removing tanks from the track… cow catcher?
add a projector
projector projects from the train some armor blocks on the track
if the gets blown off the train automaticly rebuilds the track with the welders
Hey an idea to is to raise your tracks another level and build your armor down and around the track. Then you can use ramps to scoop and push...use the space ball to slide along the track?
A train is a great idea since it would be a lot more efficient and even automatic to transport goods across a planet.
Aha! I have an idea! Why not have a "mission" where an armoured train is heading for your maximum security prison with an important prisoner, and one team has to defend the train, while the other team needs to stop the train and recover the "prisoner".
