I think you're close to the right idea with the hovertrike. But instead of going all wheels, why not have the back wheels as regular propulsion/friction/steering and the front be zero-friction skid? Or vice-versa?

As soon as I saw the trike designed like a Reliant Robin, I knew it would tip. Try the two wheels in front, one in back instead.

Instead of the buggies being on a the top of a car, why not the side? Then they can just drop straight down the ground and go.

Yep, save your atmo thrusters to make flying ice miner gunships on polar expedition #4.

Could use the signal update stuff to set up some toggle brakes/acceleration on each subgrid.

You should definitely split the train in two

It is seriously awesome that SE models real train physics emergently. Since I assume the devs never imagined this madness. Almost as awesome as the train itself.

the water tank looks awesome the whole train is amazing

It's a nice train, even looks the part!

For the scout bikes, 2 front wheels and 1 back would make it more stable, especially for steering.

The trike should have been more stable if you went with 2 wheels widely spaced up front, and one trailing. Maybe draw inspiration from the Aptera beta prototype? (Google image search)

and the gunslinger followed?

Operation Sandstinger is going smoothly

As I was watching the train come together, I was thinking about your decoy buggy idea.... why not use them as stabilizers with merge block detachment, so they can be released on the go... would be multifunctional and interesting way to help stabilization of the full length train, and you could have 2 to 4 per car..... just a thought...

32:25 I just had to boot up SE and play after seeing that.

I've had success avoiding damage on small grid drill conversion by adding a conveyor frame on the advanced rotor, then the converter. Or place the converter, then on the face use small conveyor tube to add in 1 more small grid space between the drill and the rotor.

What about a weathervane on the water tower? Put it on a rotor with a timer block and have it shift back and forth say, 30 degrees, so it looks like it's turning in the wind?

So satisfying!!!

I thought you were going to build a whole train platform, for the entire length of the train, not just the water tower. Still, it more than looks the part.

@Splitsie - if you add one of your small flatmo's to the nose of your engine with slight override, that may help out. Also, if you add a flatbed in front of and behind the Dog excavator car for clearance, that gives you somewhere to put your hover bikes!

It seems like not salvaging enough of the rail bridge sections to build a bridge over the base that the whole train can park on is a real missed opportunity.

It's madmax, it doesn't need to 'make sense'.

IDEA FOR DECOY MINI-ROVERS!!! Long time fan, love the content, got the perfect workshop creation for your 'decoy' rovers for the train! Easily re-creatable in scrapyard (did it on other scrapyard servers) Wont let me post workshop link (which is fair I guess, not getting link spammed) However if you search "monowheel" with no filters, sort by newest first, it is the one by Floaties for Ankles (only 22 results in total so should be easy to find)

Beware of the DOOM Train

Cmon splitsie go all in bring all the cars

If you replace the head of the drill on the Dog Excavator from 18:31 with a grip assembly, you might be able to pick and place the turret. Might, as I expect it could just tip over the cars trying to pull that off and drop it down without outriggers.

Great work on the Doom-Train! Looks so cool!

The recharge point for the train could be built like a commuter station! Everyone could board the train from the station, where the train charges :)

Listening to you conduct serious negotiations while watching TFE's camera window was very funny 😀

Maybe should invest a solar array carriage, folded in for travelling and when parked can charge for when you're offline, a few pistons to give it height over the rest of the carrage or expand width wise

Instead of a huge train as it seems 11 carriages are too much for a single train why not split it into 2 and hire the best F1 pilot the world has ever seen to drive the 2nd half? The one and only Capac Amaru 🤣. Double the trains, double the chance of actually getting ice.

Thinking about it, instead the remote, why not add a signal setup so it doesn't matter how long the train gets, you won't have to re-add it if something changes too much. Just have the signal toggle the brakes and there you go.

Well now you need a train station!

If u add a ladder to ta tower .. 'They Will Climb' ... OSHO requires a security cage at the bottom too prevent that.

Water towers cry out for 'SIGNAGE'

reminiscent of 'Petticoat Junction's' water tower (look it up)

The train looks amazing whilst moving, the slight rolling really gives it a train feel... But yeah, careful with those jumps, thats not going to end well.

Have you considered a 'Train Station'?

This should have been called "The Sandpiercer". Missed opportunity there

Might check the batteries on extra train cars. I had a series of battery packs connected together with connectors and I had to enable Override Power Transfer on the connectors to get the batteries to charge.

Could set up drag car without using Parking Brake>? 1. set speed limit on towed car? 2. Increase friction on towed cars? 3. Combo of friction and powering in opposite direction in last car? 4. What happen if u can put thrusters on a car and tell it to hold position/orientation? 5. Gyroscope? 6. Momentary Locking of all coupling? 7. Program brakes to cycle in ALL cars every few seconds

I think that you need to make the lead locomotive larger. Often times the engine is larger than the cars it is pulling. Right now you can't really tell the first car is actually the engine car. Just a thought.

I think a station or depot would add nicely to the water tower.

I think this train needs a brakeman

TKC :348 subtot: 1558. and that calls for celebratory flares!

Train needs a party car with proximity activated fun music. :-)

lights on the water tower

I have reached Peak Irony. I can’t stop watching this but still have the desire to shout NERD, every few minutes 31:39

>the drones always aim for center of mass What I'm hearing there is "build vehicles whose centers of mass are outside their bodies".

You should put a face on the engine like Thomas the Tank Engine
