Working Train/Tracks

[AlphaSigmaOmega]

I've watching couple of videos on youtube from RangerDave and in one of his videos he made a amazing train at Bedford Station but i thought what would be even more amazing actually functioning trains and tracks. I was think if this is being made it would require items from the world and in-game time for lore reasons. Like if there is a pile of dirt covering the tracks it would require Shovels and a Broom but if its like a giant mound of dirt would require Construction Vehicles to clear( goto the mound to activate a quest then go find the vehicles in the game outside world cell ie Excavator and truck or Semi since i havent seen any dump trucks. If tracks are broken would require materials on you as well as a beacon for *People to show up* like from the Salvage Beacon Mod. Requires Steel and Railway Spikes. If tracks lead into water do the same as dirt mound but removes the water and replaces with dirt.

 

As for the train i was thinking have the Train follow a path much like the Prydwen or the Vertibirds when on Brotherhood missions when it arrives to the Commonwealth but controllable via 3 buttons 1 Forward 1 Reverse 1 Stop. has multiple seats for Followers when you sit all current follower sit in available seats (driving seat be marked as Owned if possible so only you can sit on it) then you can use the buttons. Container marked for different things. Start with 1 Train Car then be able to work you way to total of 3 Cars(includes 1st car) for pathing for other car have as the same as the first, but each path will be shorter the the other so it would appear behind one another like real trains all 3 Cars would be controlled but the 3 buttons so the start as the same time and stop at the same time

a great idea.

Luckily, thanks to the awesomeness of

modders such as but not limited to;

^_Cypher2012, BlahblahDEEblahblah, GreekRage etc,

it is possible to make such a 'train-set'.

 

 

 

It's kludge-y, though it works as a small trainset.

it's not "train-simulator" as a side-game for complex traintracks replete with 'bridge-crossing theorem for the junctions" etc.

IE, you can't cause derailments yet.

but, it's very awesome none the less.

 

You can even make mobile settlements which 'ride the rails',

without the game falling over from having to have that relative frame of reference.

You can land vertibirds on the platform, it's awesome.

I already know about this the day it came out but this has its own world space i want one working one in the commonwealth. i already asked if he could do the same but in the commonwealth but no reply.

Glad I'm not the only person dreaming about this. The tracks that run north to south just west of Corvega would be perfect. Presently I have to drive the semi truck pretty much the entire way up those tracks like twice per in-game day and I can't scrap a lot of the train cars that are in the way. Only problem is all the cells that train tracks pass through. It'd be hard to make something like this conflict free I would think.

Love the idea AlphaSigmaOmega. Cruising around the CW, in a train hey fun! A slow ride would be great. So we can enjoy the scenery. I played the Train mod. Was truly a lot of fun. My own ideas are these: Tracks close to settlements. Pick up or deliver goods or brahmins. No provisioner needed. Move settlers to other settlements via train. Collect bottle caps for each passenger. Some turrets as protection.
