I have no idea how you ended up on my home page but you have earned a sub. makin me wanna build a whole train system now
Thanks for subbing! Glad it here it inspired you!
Samesies
I have over 1,000 hours in Satisfactory and I have NEVER laid a single piece of track. But now it's time. Thanks for a great video!!
Thank you for this information, now i have to rebuild my entire train network for it to work again. Thanks again! (Seriously, that info was REALLY helpful)
Awesome video! Will share it to my buildbuddy who is afraid of the trains in Satisfactory 🤪
Can be intimidating for sure, hope this can ease your buddy into it!
Man, so much nostalgia of playing with toy train sets as a kid and playing Roller Coaster Tycoon/Planet Coaster.
Thanks for watching! Roller coaster tycoon is also a personal favorite of mine
Amendments:
Although not fully explained in this video, freight cars do have "weight." Weight will affect the ability of a train line to be able to travel up inclines. The amount of goods that you load into a freight car will increase the weight of the freight car.
The max top speed for any train is now limited to 200 km/h.
thanks! i'm very intimidated by trains in this game, there's lots i don't understand still but this guide has really helped! i feel slightly less intimidated about planning a rail network now!
Happy to hear this helped you out, stay tuned for part 2!
Over 734 hours in one world. You get my sub. And I'm only like 54 seconds into this video so far.
That's nothing, some people pump over 1000 and even 2000 hours into this game, it's actually insane. Thanks for the like and sub!
@@ToasterGamingYT Oh yeah, I know there's people with hundreds of more hours into a save, but still impressive. I recently paid for my own little server for me and a couple friends and am working on a packaged diluted fuel power plant. Should be able to run 80 fuel generators for a total of 12,000 mw. Hope to last me a long, long time for other things. XD
Honestly an incredibly well put together video! I learnt so much in such a short amount of time. Looking forward to part 2!
Much appreciated, thanks for your support! Part 2 is coming very soon!
Right?! Master crafted video
Level of quality of this video made me think this was from one of the big Satisfactory youtubers. Great work on the editing.
Wow, thanks!
This is production quality I would only expect from a big channel. How tf do you only have 170 subscribers? I mean 171 subscribers?
Getting my feet wet with this first video but there will be more to come and I can only hope my channel keeps growing! Thanks for the sub!
90 seconds in I thought, "Ok, this video was made for me." Steam says I've played 1900+ hours, been playing since a little before U3 dropped, but I've dodged trains in every save... anyway, my new save I wanted to focus on trains, and this was the primer I needed. Thank you for going into such detail, you answered all my questions before I had them. Liked and subbed!
Damn, one of the best guides for a game I ever saw
Informative, to the point and heck, even made me laugh
Gonna watch Part 2 right away, Ty for making these
and actual good video guide for satifactory! thank you! this is so much better than watching some adhd guy spend 30 minutes messing with his factory before getting to the point. keep up the good work ^.^
I never used trains so far because i didn't know what they'd do and i felt running everywhere is good enough. Holy shit.. after watching this i'm excited to build a big train network!
i’ve been using trains for awhile so unfortunately i didn’t learn anything new, but this has to be the best beginners guide i’ve seen. the depth alone is amazing, and so is your train network. i watched through the whole thing in case there was anything i miss and it was nice to have a full refresher. liked and subscribed for the great content coming up!
Appreciate the like and sub, glad you still enjoyed it!
Same here!
I never comment on CZcams videos ever, but you have just cured my past 8 hours of trying to figure out what was wrong with my train tracks and I could give u the fattest smooch. BTW do not ask what my problem was because I consider myself an intelligent individual and I now feel like I am missing brain cells after realising what I failed to do O.O ily xx
>_>
I thought you were a big CZcamsr first. Keep up the good work 💪🏼
Thanks your support is much appreciated!
Incredibly comprehensive, thank you
Thank you!
You had my subscription at "unfinished projects."
Much appreciated!
This was a big help in me understanding how the trains work, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series to assemble a much cleaner (on the world grid, off the ground) train system as i expand my first playthrough
It's called a TRAIN REEEEEE
Byt other than that - great one. I'll be coming back here
It's inspiring to see how you build the base. I like it.
I don't know why YT recommended me this but I'm glad it did. Very nice and comprehensive tutorial on trains, and something you'd expect from a youtube with a lot more subscriber than this. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
Definitely gained a like and subscription after I watched this video. Well deserved. Amazing video.
Awesome, thank you!
You have a lot of Trains! I like it!
A few things to note "dead" thanks for this guide man. Can you make guides for EVERYTHING in this format.
Wow, glad I ended up here! Earned my sub and like for sure! Gonna be rewatching tomorrow before I get my world rolling again. Good work and thanks!
I always power my rail system separately from the main power grid for the factories, and I set up a separate power station (or two) just to supply power to the rail system. This ensures that if the main grid goes down the trains will still run, and I can use the trains to get around the map to fix the main power. That means I have power poles following along the rail system, but that's not a big deal (in fact I run the power lines out in front of where the tracks will go when I'm building the rail line so that I can use the hoverpack to help me lay the track).
i got 1000+h in satisfactory and pretty much know all the stuff
but i still kept watching and liked and subbed since the video is very well made especially for a brand new channel and this content deserves more attention
i hope with the ad revenue you can afford a better capture device soon as my eyes somewhat hurt when you're looking around ingame
Huge thanks, I appreciate it! I'm recording with obs and I noticed the quality was off, I believe I fixed it for the next video but we shall see
Fun fact: trainline is a real term, although IRL it refers to the main bundle of wires that transfer data and power between the various locomotives (and boosters, if present; it can also connect to "virtual" locomotives such as a Beltpack system's MCU cabinet for remote control operation) in a consist.
I totally love your Satisfactory videos
Great stuff, looking forward to part 2 :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 is coming very soon ;)
Super clear, on the point video. Best guide I've seen! Thanks.
hitting my train system again in my current playthrough and wanted to freshen up on my logistics and this is a wealth of good info. my last playthru was the first time i set up any trains and i did make looped networks but never ended up merging any of them. this time around i'd like to play around with connecting more of them on the same lines. thanks for the solid content, look forward to more of your stuff
Great video mate, keep em coming
Thanks! Part 2 is coming up!
Amen!
Thanks for the great and easy to follow video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good, informative and entertaining tutorial. Awesome for a first video!
Genuinely a great video man, you nailed everything, it was engaging, straight to the point and informative! Really impressed with your overall style, please keep making videos like this if you enjoy them. The fact that this was one of your first videos mind-boggles me.
Thank you for taking the time to edit and record all of this!
Thanks for the support! It took a lot of time to make but honestly I had no idea that it would blow up like this, there will more to come!
Loving this guide! Incredible! 🎉
Love the video, and massive kudos for putting the path/block signals solution at the front of the video.
Thanks for the video! It was a great beginner's guide! The ability to have trains wait until unload was one of the best features added - it really made the ability to create a provider station and make sure its open for pickups. If trains kept coming in for pickup they'd stack up and make it hard to get what they needed. I'm still trying to figure out how to better use the load/unload particular items as sushi train cars are really hard to manage. Lol.
That was so helpful. Following along for advice on push pull. Can't wait 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for subscribing! Part 2 is in the works!
Awesome video! Love the presentation.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
VERY good and In depth explanation. I wish I had known about your channel 3 days ago, I aged myself 7 years in the orocrss of learning much of what you said in thus video about laying tracks and signals, and I STILL learned quite a few things in this and even more in the other videos! Figured I'd drop you a like, a subscribe, and a big thanks for the great and very well explained information!!
damn that intro was slick... liked before you even got to the content lmao
great guide. Thanks
This is beauty
I just wanted to say that this guide was extraordinarily helpful! You have a real knack for this kind of content. Please keep at it!
Thanks, will do! Glad you enjoyed it!
Right ?! I couldn’t believe how well put this is
Well done m8, quality information, good editing. I play satisfactory for a while but only now getting into trains. Gonna check out other parts
Also that part where you misspelled freight fluid train and left in as a joke. It felt weird as everyone is editing those out immediately and you don't expect to hear something like this in a quality video. But it was funny :)
Very nice video and an awesome network!
Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks glad you enjoyed it!
wow well done man! i am about to unlock trains. i learned with this game it's best to see tutorials lol
Super cool! The only really small suggestions i would like to give is, sometimes you speak really faster and for a not native english like me i had to redo and listen again. Not a big issue, but can be useful to know. However, thank you so much for this lot of very useful informations about trains.
Fantastic video. I hope to see more Satisfactory videos in the future. Have you thought about doing a “let’s play?” I’d watch the hell out of that!
Good! You like the train
Train go choo choo
okay, i was looking for just a single information. But after watching the intro and skipping through the video a bit, I had to laugh so much that I now just want to watch the whole video. It doesn't matter if I already have the information. 😅
What I wanted to know was WHY. Belts are functionally better 100% of the time. Trains consume power, belts don't, and trains can only move materials AT MOST as fast as they are belted in. Trains cost less to build over long distances (high fixed costs though), and they might be aesthetically preferable (especially compared to ground belts or sky bridges), but if you can afford a belt and don't mind looking at it, the belt will be better.
Great video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
awesome vid, subbed. i'd love to see an explanation for the actual placing of rails, i find them to be super finnicky especially when trying to get nice clean turns
Coming up! ;)
Build tips was something that I wish I put in part 1 (and part 2 as well...) but it will be coming in part 3!
Here's a quick tip though:
Using foundations as a grid, the shortest 90 degree turn that you can make is on a 3x3 grid in an L-shape. Make sure when doing this, that your rails are centered on the foundations.
Place a starter rail segment centered at the very edge of the foundation, leading up to the 3x3 grid first.
Then place down your corner rail segment second, dragging it to the edge of the grid on the opposite side of the starter segment.
That's all there is to it! You now have a nice crisp 90 degree turn and from there you can continue to build off of it!
The 3x3 grid corner can be a bit quirky. You MUST place down a starter segment first, then your corner segment, and lastly an end segment. If you try to build the corner segment last by placing it in between a starter and an end segment, then the game will bug out and refuse to do it.
To make larger turns, the idea is the same and they won't be as troublesome as the 3x3 turn.
In terms of incorporating height into your turns, then for the 3x3 90 degree turn, I've found that stacking TWO 4m foundations on top of eachother seems to be the rough limit.
On that last foundation on your grid where you want your turn to end, simply stack two 4m foundations above or below it and you'll be able to place your corner rail segment down, making a nice sharp turn on a crisp incline.
I hope I was able to explain that properly, if not then railing down rails will be apart of the next and final video!
Well done Sir, an excellent example well executed. Thank you.
Thank you kindly!
@@ToasterGamingYT are you really into trains outside of Satisfactory? I ask because the depth of knowledge was incredible.
Great video, thanks. Hopefully more Satisfactory content coming?
Sooner than you think!
This is the best in depth guide on trains to date I've learned more than in every other video so I wanted to thank you for this video but what if two trains are heading to an intersection at the same time and you got the signals placed properly but both trains entered the same block at the same time without enough time to stop or is there a mechanism that will prevent this?
Thanks, much appreciated! And that's an excellent question, there is a mechanism in place that will prevent this. Basically, automated trains can defy the laws of physics... If you have an intersection that has properly placed signals on it, and two trains are approaching it at the same exact time, and for example they're going at insane speeds (like well over 100km/hr each), then which ever train entered that intersection first, even if it's by a millionth of a second faster than the other train, that first train will be allowed to continue through the intersection. The other train will come to an immediate dead stop to prevent the collision. It will literally go from over 100km/hr to 0 km/hr in a split second. It's actually pretty funny to watch. I'll be showing an example of this in the next video when I go further in depth into signals, so keep an eye out for part 2!
thanks
Truly awesome video. Surprised it has this little recognition.
Thanks! Just getting starting out on CZcams so there's a long way to go but the amount of support so far has been crazy
@@ToasterGamingYT You deserve all the support! The effort you put into this is noticeable. It might be a grind but eventually, if you keep doing these high quality videos (focus on quality and not on quantity), you'll grow fast. Considering I had this video in my recommended and it gained 6k views since my first comment, I'd say the algorithm is also in your favor.
@@whaleclam8858 Glad to hear the algorithm is helping me out, had no idea I'd get this much support this quickly. And thanks for the advice, quality over quantity for sure!
I can report that trains DO NOT always take the shortest path between two points. I have seen trains do all sorts of nonsense at times depending on whether the train has locos at both ends and whether it has had to reverse directions along its route. I have set up a route where I expected a train to continue out of a station in the same direction only to have it reverse out and take some mind-numbing detour to the next place. It would be nice to have more control over those sorts of behaviors, but the trains do what they want.
That feeling when "ultimate beginner's guide" is over 30min long, is only the part 1, and is titled "Complete Basics".
the dreaded rail signals... yeah. the rail signals that didn't work (if placed too close parallel). It was easier to start my 500hr over from scratch
Nice vid for you first guide made. one info that i saw was missing is the hight trains can move upwards. other guides say hight increase by 2m foundations however you didnt use fundations below your traks so its was hard to say.
in my opinion i would have separated the signals in a separated part. Your speach, voice sound and speed was good. only the length and amount of information packed into a so short timeframe makes it very tireing to listen to. did watch it to the end however 1 min longer and i would have stoped watching before the end.
Thanks for the advice! You're right I could have included that in the first part just for clarification purposes but that will be coming up in part 3 along with other build tips
This is a learning experience for me as I navigate the editing software so there's definitely room for improvement regard editing my voice in post, but I'm glad my voice was easy on the ears
And fair point! I easily could have split this into 3 or more videos but I was torn between having a dozen different videos covering individual parts that people can refer to or to have longer jammed pack videos that people can come back to and reference as needed. Despite going with the latter I'm glad that you were still able to enjoy the video and make it to the end! Thanks again for the constructive advice!
@@ToasterGamingYT glad to be of help.
well even do i dont make vids my own, a script will be very helpfull where you can list all things you want to put in a guide in and then arrange them to be in order.
even do a lot is covered in the vid its a bit back and forward with stuff. a clean line where you may start withe the basic like 1 train track, back and forward tracks and slowly getting more into advanced stuff with like setting up lines, doing crossings, getting more trains on the same track to go even higher by adding signals and do specific loads unloads, large trains, going into details like how fast a unload sequense takes time or how to load unload into the station.
yep you got most covered but its newbie stuff mixed with expert stuff in a non linear fashion. since i did watch many other guides on Trains i had some knowledge allredy gathered from other guides. and i wish you the best of luck that your channel will keep growing.
like in Satisfactory its like in YT everyone starts at some point and learns over time. You have the advantage of a clean easy to understand english voice without any dialect that indicates another mother tongue. and that is a very importent thing to reach a lot of YT watchers WW. If you keep on refining your skills, and focus on specific games to cover with vids you will see a steady growth in subs and views, im shure and if you keep it on high and invest some freetime you can easyly reach the 10k subs within 3 years.
Can I ask where you got 27.08 seconds for the loading time from? The wiki claims 25 but checked quickly just with my watch and it's definitely around 27. How did you come up with such a specific number?
At the time that I made this video the wiki stated that oddly specific number, but it looks like it may have been changed at some point.
@@ToasterGamingYT Ah yes I see the 27.08 figure appears on the Electric Locomotive page whereas 25 appears on the train station and freight platform articles.
Okay so I did some more sleuthing through the edit history and it looks like the Electric Locomotive article used to also say 25 until it was changed to 27.08 by 'Ondar111' on 24th November 2021. He has pro by his name so I guess that's good. Might try track him down and ask him how he came up with the number.
1:15 - the way I imagine hell
I really think the trains should act like the drones. Have it be able to load AND unload from 1 freight platform
Agreed
Make more videos!!!!
T R A I N
I crave more toaster. Where can I find more videos/VODs of Satisfactory? D:
Soon, my friend, soon.
Factorio players : Ametours! (with 1.5 hours lengh of "Absulute Basics") But still cool, Due using Factorio's system.
In the same way that "$14M" is said as "fourteen million dollars"... "1600m³" is said as "sixteen hundred cubic meters", not "sixteen hundred meters cubed".
my stupid ass have unlocked tier 7 but never used train to transport bauxite that 2km away from my base lmao. i just pulled a long ass conveyor belt and cables to reach it.
a real world name for what you are calling a train line is a consist. a train line is the route the train takes.
"2400 cubic metres"- not "2400 metres cubed" - completeley different. Otherwise, top video!
We are friends now.
friend
me when the toaster is gaming 😮🤯
Rice cooker is in my spot for 3rd favourite.. sorry.
trains are scary... but they seemtoo usful toignore
2% eficciente? what!
nato bitsch
I don't know what this means but thank you!
NOT to the point! Too much talking, too fast talking, much to much non-essential stuff in the essential first 2 minutes, just tiring. DISMISSED!
I have set station to unload.
My train is loaded, but when enter the station nothing is happening. Why?
Great work! very easy to follow!🤌
Thanks! 🤌
