What about some Railway in wasteland ? Is many years after war so i think that is possible to make Railway. Beetwen NCR, VC, Den, Reding, Reno, Broken Hills and San Fran. Good idea or not ? IS this possible ? 8)
-
yeah, Dig Iron ore, smelt it, make railways, plant it on the ground , chop wood and get some rocks to make it stable and go NCR -San Francisko
-
If I remember Wright Family have base near railroad station. Too bad it's non operational
-
neat idea, working on the railway as an alternative to cleaning after brahmins either.
Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to see fallout world as an post-ap wild west, not mad-max car thing.
-
I think this is awesome. I mean if we can all run around making high tech weaponry, who's to say that someone in the wastes, even a town's scientists, can't figure out how to create a train that runs on SECs. I think this could be a great alternative to shoveling Brahmin shit. And after a certain point, when enough ore/metal parts/wood have been donated to the cause, the railway can actually come into effect so all the players who contributed to it can actually see their hard work pay off.
-
Really good idea , but remember we can't have animated trains, we even don't have some graphics for a train, so someone has to do it. :/ I really like the idea, but remember that it's more work than just posting the idea. ;)
-
Maybe it doesn't need to be animated, just static, like cars, caravans and so are now?
It can be something like steam loco and some wagons, like this one for example:

However, railroad is kind of competition for my double Pathfinder perk :>
-
Actually we have cars and etc. So i think that no problem with some static picture of locomotive in one place. For example in Reno is one old Railway. So one static picture, one small script and for example 3 main towns and we will be have new kind of transport in town.
Situation in Reno
C:Hi
TM:Hi
C:One ticket to NCR please.
TM:100caps please.
C:Here.Thanks.
TM:Happy road !

Yeah you don't really have to have an animation. You talk to the NPC, get on the train, and the only movement shown is the red marker on the world map moving along some line. I guess if someone really wanted to, they could make an animation of the train leaving the station and arriving, but that seems like too much work for something purely aesthetic.
-
Good. Then start making a proper critter/object and post it here. ;)
-
If you have alot magic aura, you need pay twice, or your aura will affect steam engine, also undead and animal companions must stay. Also if you know such spells like: Disintegration, Fire Ball, Chain Lightning you, may be, can't use trains.
-
Something similar is in development since some weeks.

Chain Lightning was so nerfed las update noboty takes that anymore, I remember frying some goblins with this stuff. Good times, good times.
Train would leave every hour (you'd have to stand in special guarded area with a ticket to get on it) and stop on 4-6 stations on each road between cities for like 10 minutes (change the time if it's wrong, because I dont know how much ig is how much irl) so the trains could be robbed (wild west yay). The trains would be guarded though by some npcs. Locations of the train mid-stations will only be known to players with high outdoors who almost once used the train. That's my idea, it's stupid, don't read it, go and kill other players NOW!

I hope it's NOT vertibird taxi, that would be ridiculous
-
Vertibird taxi is a cool idea.
In Fallout 3.
-
" Something similar is in development since some weeks " - Ohhh right, gigity gigity goo !
Cant wait to travel through wasteland with post-apoc train :D
-
I bet Wasteland Railways will be something like this.

Wastelands railway? How come this survive in post-apocalyptic world full of destruction, terrorists and junk-loving collectors? People could travel on undamaged tracks only on some small distances.
-
This age is not 1 or 2 year after war. So i think that people can make some kind of this transportation in wasteland. We have cars. So why we cant have train ?
-
Because it is pretty unlikely that people will be able to maintain undamaged railway track over a huge distance. There is no real government in this universe and there are plenty of factions fighting with each other, which would make it impossible to keep control of long piece of land. Making sabotage would be pretty easy, and on rail track it means destruction of train and death of people. There is also no road infrastructure (like undamaged roads, traffic lights, motorways) in Wastelands, you can travel only by vehicles able to move in not-so-good conditions.

yea you got right but that is also why quests with materials contribution for railroad repair etc. would be more real Imo as for sabotage terrorist and ithers who want destoy it u can make couple of quests "seek and destroy" type like "our soucess says that terrorist/raider/scavenger gruop who atacked our rairoads want to strike again we finded they nest go there and give them lesson" or other quests like that. Possibility of quests that would be make "Wasteland Railroad" more real are quite big. Its all about ideas how make it look more real

1: Hey guys
2,3,4,5: yo

exacly ;D
look on existing examples from real world like Nyan here said wild west attacks on railroads was hapends not to often ofcourse but still
this option for raiload would be good even if will be added later
