    I like the way Trains fit in with the logistics here, I've been loving this game since i saw it on steam, keep up the great work,
    I'll throw in a few ideas i had while watching that i either didn't see mentioned or such:
    Shunting yards: instead of the train returning to the depo itself to attach/ detach cars they could be done at shunting yards, these could also have newly built cars added to them and transported via a regular train passing by or set as a way point and the Trainyard could have a wagonyard upgrade that has its own train unit to transport, additionally shunting yards could be set to have an already loaded set of wagons so a train can detach the unloading ones and attach the loaded ones, maybe as an advanced logistics thing.
    Wagon Yard: either as a seperate building or attachable building to the Trainyard, so you can build wagons faster/ more wagons and have an attachable shunting yard to set them up, that way it would be both more realistic and a bit easier to set trains up.
    Upgradable switch: Could work much like a balencer, first stage has the non priority train come to a stop, when its upgraded it consumes power but has the non primary train slow down enough to let the priority train pass then speeds up. (this could take some tinkering with code to get right though).
    Merge/pass switches: Like above but lets trains pass if one is entering a station to unload and one behind isnt or allows 2 tracks to merge, would be similar to above (maybe an advanced train logistics tech thing).
    Level Crossing: I imagine this could be done like a balencer, you could even select if the train or vehicles have priority (though it makes more sense for the train to have priority) vehicles stop and calculate with the crossing if a train is due, if no train they can cross, if train coming then stop (maybe have a special track piece that detects the train and is linked to the crossing like how mine control towers have set vehicles/ or its assigned to the trains on that track with a calculation to its estimated time of arrival).
    Flatbed Wagon (Vehicle): Could work if you have them assignable and an animation like they line then sorta teleport onto the wagon and off again, or you could have a new cargo type like "Incomplete excavator" and its loaded/ unloaded at a "Vehicle Assembler" (this would be a good way of transporting Mega vehicles around the map, so it might just be a Mega Vehicle thing).
    Water tower: Steam train building to keep water in the boiler over long distance (could also be turned off on easy or just a realistic setting thing like ore sorting) could also have coal storage upgrade/ attachment.
    Vehicle bridge train: Could be small, medium and large to allow vehicles to bridge over train tracks like the others do for pipes and belts (could be done if it was made like a track piece? just with a bridge going over at the appropriate height).
    Nuclear trains: Could be an upgrade option and the water towers could have some nuclear fuel storage to keep it fueled and watered, Possible upgrade could be molten salt reactor ( so it can be refueld like the fast breeder reactor) but that would be about the same level of research.
    Steam trains: could also have a higher polution penalty and more workers but less and lower teir of maintenence (so it won't immediatly be skipped over and it would make sense that it is less complicated to work on due to already having coal boilers and lots of coal intensive industry already).
    Upgradable Tracks: Tracks having the ability to be upgraded like belts and pipes, i.e Light Rail: can handle tier 1 trains at full speed but teir 2 and 3 trains have to reduce speed, Medium Rail: Adds canterlevers for electric trains, Teir 2 trains and lower can travel at full speed but teir 3 trains need to slow down, Heavy Rail: all trains travel at full speed.
    Electric injector (not sure what its called) : Acts like the transformer in the settlements and adds electricity to medium and heavy rails.
    Train Service yard: comes in 3 teirs corrospnding to train and rail teir and can either act like the statues of maintenence or act like the maintenence buildings in game and have a similar system (this is where the Steam train would differ as it would only drain either teir 1 or 2 maintenence (i'd say same about the same as coal boiler, maybe with an extra 5 or such if teir 1 or maybe just over half of the diesel trains).
    anyway the above are just ideas i hope may help with getting over the hurdles when it comes to implementing new stuff.
    Cheers and as i said, keep up the great work.

    The train physics are pretty nice. They don't have to be perfectly realistic, just approximately. One big factor that I wish will be implemented is rolling resistance in curves. Trains have almost zero rolling resistance in a straight vs in the tightest turn that CoI allows, this small locomotive would struggle to move the train at all.

    • @CaptainOfIndustryGame
      @CaptainOfIndustryGame  5 месяцев назад +4

      Variable rolling resistance based on a curve radius is an interesting idea, thanks for the suggestion!

      @@CaptainOfIndustryGame I'm glad you like it. I used to work in railroading and this immediately caught my eye. At low speed, tractive effort is really just a question of total weight, acceleration, gradient and curve radius. Air resistance is only important for high speed trains, that's why they're bullet shaped.

    Cant wait to see the depiction of steam vs diesel locomotives if you decide to go forward with steam. Steam having higher raw power but needing much more infrastructure and maintenance vs the simple diesel that is relatively cheap and easy to use would be a great dynamic and portray the dilemma railroads went through during the transition era

  • @p0pka_enota
    @p0pka_enota 3 месяца назад

    A great reference for a train system design is OpenTTD. It is pretty complex though. But at the same time it has a very similar vibe to CoI.
    1 thing to add for schedules is that in OTTD it not only resolves the routing(what stations a train should go next), but also it is used to spread trains evenly on the route. Which is super important if you have multiple trains on the same route. Without a timed schedule they will eventually pile up, start blocking one another and the overall efficiency drops.

    42:29 I would expect air drag to also be affected by the surface area of the train carts, maybe especially the front surface area: i.e. more carts, more air drag, but also replacing smaller carts with fewer large carts should reduce air drag.

    • @CaptainOfIndustryGame
      @CaptainOfIndustryGame  5 месяцев назад

      Air drag is currently affected by frontal area as well as the number of wagons, longer train having slightly more air drag than shorter ones. Air drag also depends on wagon shapes slightly.

      I'd rather see path signals that are superior but more demanding for computing power so better have both. You can spam block signlas on simple one-way section but then you can place just a few but more powerful path singlas that calculate path rather then reserve whole block so you don't need so many block signals, chain signals and also spacing between tracks that is often even impossible for signals to be palced in most games.

    Even if trucks were more efficient than trains for throughput, the maintenance cost is what you'd really want to look at. I assume that trains would be cheaper maintenance over time than trucks. So while trucks, per ton, could have better throughput, the amount of maintenance (and fuel) needed would be higher.

  • @Linrox
    @Linrox 4 месяца назад

    The train system would feel weird without signals. There are many games that use the block between signals which works well if you use the signals right. but simplest signals i have seen is Transport fever 2, but the most enjoyable is factorio and satisfactory. Seems a silly to go to the effort and complexity of train physics and then skip on signals. I like the idea of stations created for specific items and a train moving between destination stations and supply stations, that way trains can wait at the supply station and not be in the way of other trains, like satisfactory uses. Using trains like trucks feels counter intuitive to the way trains typically work.

    2) routing of trains, how it will work?
    3) logistic automatization of trainz? will it be? how it will look like (as LTN in Factorio or "Train distribution office" in Workers&Resourses )?
    4) will You make some kind of "logistic zones" to prevent car from serving faraway industry?

    • @CaptainOfIndustryGame
      @CaptainOfIndustryGame  5 месяцев назад

      1) Some ramps/bridges or level-crossings. We are not sure yet but it will be definitely possible to cross railroad with trucks.
      2) Either via list of stations, or automatic truck-like train logistics, or both.
      3) Too early to tell, we will share more details as these systems are more refined.

    How do you plan to handle tracks construction?
    Currently, everything is constructed by trucks delivering materials. However, I think there will be situations that you want to build train tracks in areas unreachable by trucks.

    • @CaptainOfIndustryGame
      @CaptainOfIndustryGame  5 месяцев назад +1

      We are not sure yet. However, unreachable segments can be always constructed by unity so truck construction might be working fine.

    • @Dyanosis
      @Dyanosis 4 месяца назад

      Did you forget about Unity? I think most of the more 'hardcore" players just use Unity for building since trucks take time, maintenance, and fuel to construct things with. Unity is instant, as long as the materials are available.

    will rain affect train wheel slippage and therefore drag?

    • @CaptainOfIndustryGame
      @CaptainOfIndustryGame  5 месяцев назад +1

      Interesting idea, perhaps on "realistic trains" difficulty, but not by default. Rain should probably lower the starting tractive effort and perhaps reduce rolling friction a little. Would that mean that on flat track trains would go faster due to less rolling friction? :)

    I would rather see them go somewhere further with the game. The trains aren't doing it for me, but we'll see.
    I think the rocket launch is the next big thing. Let me put up a space station for a new tier of research. Makes me supply it with freeze dried food and water and people to produce the new research material for the new tier of research. Let me research satellites and launch them. Make me launch then from time to time to keep them active. Let the satellites supply satellite TV to a new level of housing. Let me give my ship GPS and extend the world search out another level. Let me research electric vehicles and build new infrastructure to support them. These are just my thoughts on where to go with the rocket launch to push the game forward instead of mucking about with what already works flawlessly. I'm sure others can come up with stuff for space research that i haven't considered, but I think it can fit so well into what is already a fantastic game.
    I've never wished i had trains once, but when i launch a rocket, it could so really lead to a whole new level of stuff.
