I love how this series is just James going between "they should probably wait here for a full load" and "they probably shouldn't be waiting here for a full load"

Have you thought about sending ships waaaaaaay up that big long river? They might be slow but surely the distance covered will net you some sweet profiteroles, and no infrastructure costs

You can extend the cargo line, next to Houston there is a lumber and a sawmill for more planks

Hey James, love the content. You should take a look at the mail system. It's awesome. 1. Some Commercial buildings, once their demand is met, start producing unsorted mail. 2. You can bring the unsorted mail to the mail sorting facility (you have one just beside the train station at MacAllen) and it will produce the sorted mail. 3. Sorted mail goes to residentials. 4. Once the residential demand for sorted mail is met they start producing unsorted mail, which could be picked up and sorted. You have to set a literal postal system to work it all. The only bad side to all of this is that the pickup truck station doesn't work as a mail-box. You ought to have a cargo truck station near residentials to pick up mail.

I love this series, but could we get more scenes of the trains moving, like a cinematic??

Love this game so much, i enjoy your content the most its a good balance of making things look nice but not being pedantic and also getting a lot done and set up per episode :) great work James

Agree

Maybe the stones from the place near the new coal and iron places can be used for the bricks as well to increase the production?

Loving this series!!

Same 👍

Really appreciate that you read the comments 😃

You should be able to use the percentage slider in the "Load" menu to make the brick-delivery trucks wait for 50% load indefinitely. That'd be much better than 10 minutes for full load, or indefinitely for a full load.

Great series!

Considering you have SO MUCH MONEY you should build big infrastructure projects. Lots of boats down the whole river (passenger and cargo) and trains across the map.

You dont need that many signals

I am loving watching you play this game at the moment too, even though I miss Cities Skylines and Prison architect, this is like a marathon.

An hour long video, yet only 3 ads. _Respect _*_+5000_*

Love this series!

I WAITED FOR IT! this is my favorate youtube series! im so happy you keep it up 😄😄😄

You could probably transport some of the cardboard boxes (sorry I forget what they're called) from Jacksonville to McAllen. Not sure if it would be worth the stress but you could probably just add a couple more cars to the train traveling between the two towns and have those load up with the boxes, might even have enough room already with the limited brick production. Love the series btw!

The reason the bricks aren't transporting enough is because the cities aren't demanding enough. Love your vids dude!

a tip for the signals. you say its the most tedious thing to do... that's because you place them everywhere. You dont need signals so close to each other. If there is 2 trains on a line, its ok to have only 2-3 pairs of signals on the track. you place around 10 on each track for places where you wont ever go above 2 trains.

38:11 Sooo much like my students. First you got it right, then doubt yourself and finnish off confidently wrong. It was a half all along haha

Awesome video! Keep them coming please!

love this series lol

Try making different railroads (shorter railroads that detours to larger ones) as shortcuts to save money and time

There's another stone quarry next to the coal quarry in Houston which you can help feed the brick factory with. Absolutely loving the series!!

That was a great way to connect those places. Sometimes it just falls in place 😊

Never get sick of these videos James! Great work as always mate 👍

Defo should have a plane (if it carries passengers) from the furthest east town to furthest west town (or North/south I don't know how the map is orientated). Personally, if all the train lines are separated are all the signals that necessary. I'd get it if all the train lines were on one set of double tracks but they aren't. Overall really enjoying the series keep up the good work.

Love this series! Can you do something with the island you created by digging the canal? I think it had coffee

You can combine the Iron and Coal lines. One way is coal one way is Iron Also, I would love to see you connect all the towns with rails

You should also space your signals out arround 3 to 4 train lengths appart as that is usually most efficient

A good way to organise could be to use the rainbow North to South to figure out where things are. Green for midlands and work from there

hey james! i’m so glad you’re uploading again, i’ve really missed your videos hahah, is there any chance we’ll be seeing your new city on cities skylines? i’m excited for the next video!!

How I love TF2 and CS.

my inner soul just tell me this video coming!!

On train lines Once you do 1 crossover you can click on the track part and make it dual crossover.

while destroying: if you click and hold you can bruch roads and tracks away (30:55)

Maybe this is the episode where he realises he isn't looking at years but at quarters when viewing finances... let's see.

Less go flab

Even in OpenTTD you were able to select distance between signals and then click and drag to place a whole bunch at once. Unfathomable that such a feature is not in this game.

He's way over signalling especially for the amount of line traffic he has he could get by with 3 sets of signals per section especially with how he has split the sides for right and left one as the leave the station one as the arrive and maybe one in the middle but honestly you should only be signalling junctions and crossovers

Love watching this gameplay eaven dough I have no f...ing clue what’s he doing with train tracks 😂😂😂😂 for me he is Albert Einstein for trains.

Very nice!! Thanks for the series, this is awesome! I'm not entirely sure, but aren't you dropping off all the bricks at McAllen and non leaving any to be dropped off in Jacksonville?

Milwaukee Road electrics and you got the Milwaukee heavyweights as well earlier!

Just thinking of what the denver people thought when you brought in the train station Mayor: Hey Folks, the rich transport baron wants to give us a train station and expand main street! Townspeople:Cool! Sounds great! Getting to travel via train to other cities easily! Mayor: Oh yeah, he's also going to destroy basically every building on main street to do it. Anyway, see ya later, folks!

You should name the track the Riverside main line and make it follow up the river past each Riverside town and have branch offs to other towns

Is there a list of mods @Flabaliki is using in this playthrough somewhere?

In future the gaming engine will make like this because this is very easy to make a game like this ❤

James you're way over signalling especially for the amount of line traffic you have you could get by with 3 sets of signals per section especially with how you have split the sides for right and left one as the train leaves the station one as they arrive and maybe one in the middle but honestly you should only be signalling junctions and crossovers where trains might run into each other

In which James lays an absurd amount of track.

him: has extreme luck with what towns need. me: loses up to 30 million per town and never recover

Apologies if you have answered this elsewhere but, given the map size, what PC specs are you running? Thank you.

You dont have to use only Town or City names for your distribution lines. You could also use the names of the closest landmarks like the river or mountain if the game named them already.

@XBravo1CharlieX

The game doesn't name landmarks unfortunately I wish it would

Dude I don’t think you need THAT many signals!!!

you know you can have several lines on one track?

Is it wierd that I prefer this to city skylines?

Also can you slowdown the date passing? Because at this rate you will reach the future era before you get to all the cities.

The years could go faster

Can't you just put signals at crossings, intersections and beginings of tracks (and stuff like that where trains might be in the way of each others) ? If you have the train going one way there shouldn't be a need to put so many along the tracks... Or am I missing something?

Can you ride you trains at the end of each episode?

Hes 118 million, still builds dirt roads.

Where is everybody else?
