L5[04:57:39] <Cream Tea> guys

L6[04:58:04] <Cream Tea> for long distance caves/tunnel systems do you prefer locomotives or an old fashioned single cart track with boosters

L7[04:58:24] <Cream Tea> if it's just to go down, mine and quickly come back up to store your items and get new pickaxes

L8[04:59:13] <Cream Tea> What I've done on my server is a "main line" with locomotives from my base to a mining outpost, and then there is a track down into the caves (goes a long way) for a single cart with boosters

L9[04:59:21] <Cream Tea> just interested in what you guys do/think ?

L10[05:15:11] <FeherNeoH> in the 1.4.7 times I used single carts, not I'm usually using locomotives for basically everything

L11[05:15:20] <FeherNeoH> in the 1.4.7 times I used single carts, now I'm usually using locomotives for basically everything [Edited]

L12[05:18:32] <Hanakocz> I think that booster tracks should be removed by railcraft for the sake of locomotives

L13[05:19:42] <FeherNeoH> Not sure about that

L14[05:19:52] <FeherNeoH> some things still work better with those

L15[05:20:51] <FeherNeoH> On larger GalactiCraft spacesations those are a great way to travel in the service tunnels

L16[05:47:04] <Hanakocz> They should get replaced by electric booster tracks that do same but for charge

L17[05:57:58] <FeherNeoH> You actually have a point

L18[07:11:05] <axelandre42> Is there a planned alpha/beta public release?

L19[07:13:26] <Hanakocz> maybe also gamma and delta

L23[07:51:33] <Resuz> ?

L29[11:04:49] <Shovinus> Hey guys I am looking to make a rails mod for MC akin in simplicity to Factorios method, tell me if I shouldn't continue talking please. I am just looking for any knowledgeable coders (especially if they have model/texture experience) with free time.

L34[15:57:06] <Cream Tea> like in my mineshaft

L35[15:57:09] <Cream Tea> oh

L36[15:58:01] <Cream Tea> I have booster tracks and stuff, only because it's quick and easy, the downside is I can't exactly store stuff in an extra chest cart or anything

L37[15:58:05] <Cream Tea> it just makes it easier to go down

L38[15:58:23] <Cream Tea> although it's.. harder to stop at particular places

L39[16:01:16] <Cream Tea> I mean in traditional mineshafts you used to have standalone carts that would join up to a "core track" which would have a locomotive

L40[16:01:22] <Cream Tea> or they would get winched individually to the top

L41[16:01:31] <Cream Tea> that's what I gathered anyway

L42[16:01:52] <Cream Tea> and then at the top (like in my mineshaft/cave network) you would have a locomotive pull a train with all the stuff you have collected

L46[17:47:53] <Natesky9> I have never used a linking track

L47[18:31:13] <liach> @Natesky9 Linking track? Coupler track?

L48[18:41:36] <Natesky9> Whatever it's called. The crowbar track

L49[18:44:50] <Generalcamo> Coupler kit

L51[18:54:13] <liach> I really love the autocoupler mode

L52[18:58:10] <Cream Tea> that was my addition @liach ❤

L53[18:58:28] <Cream Tea> CJ wasn't sure about the concept to begin with so I had to make a video about it

L54[18:58:46] <Cream Tea> then he added it

L55[18:58:50] <liach> I also improved it so that it can link on two sides (twice) instead of just one @Cream Tea

L56[18:58:54] <Cream Tea> nice

L57[18:59:00] <Cream Tea> like from the front and back?

L58[18:59:04] <liach> yes

L59[18:59:45] <liach> Moreover, camo suggested to remove the autolink when passing unactivated couplers, which make it more save at the same time (you can just wrap your yard with these couplers)

L60[19:00:58] <Cream Tea> remove the autolink?

L61[19:01:11] <Cream Tea> I thought if it was turned off it just didn't do anything anyway

L62[19:02:12] <liach> @Cream Tea How do you plan to turn it off originally?

L63[19:02:24] <liach> Like expire afte a few ticks?

L64[19:02:25] <Cream Tea> i mean it has to be redstone activated for it to work

L65[19:02:35] <Cream Tea> the autocoupling mechanism

L66[19:02:51] <Cream Tea> unless i'm misunderstanding you

L67[19:02:52] <Cream Tea> xd

L68[19:03:01] <liach> but once a train has autolink and collided with another train, they stick together

L69[19:03:16] <liach> so we need to manually remove it with some other mean after we give it the autolink

L70[19:04:17] <Cream Tea> you mean in case there are not carts etc?

L71[19:04:34] <Cream Tea> you mean in case there are no carts to couple with etc? [Edited]

L72[19:04:41] <Cream Tea> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zaxqc7XZ3P8

L73[19:04:48] <Cream Tea> this was the original video btw

L74[19:05:23] <Cream Tea> Well actually that's an even older concept

L75[19:06:49] <Cream Tea> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o70Lwg-LugQ

L76[19:09:26] <liach> I love this concept, seriously

L77[19:10:06] <Cream Tea> same that's why i thought it would be a good idea

L78[19:10:08] <Cream Tea> ?

L79[19:10:27] <Cream Tea> but when you say uhhh manually remove autolink

L80[19:10:59] <Cream Tea> if it's not powered, it won't do anything anyway, do you mean it sort of "blocks" the auto linking process if it goes over an unpowered one?

L84[21:23:43] <Trinsdar> have you ever thought of making railcraft multiblocks be formed with an item such as a crowbar like IE's multiblocks are formed?

L85[21:25:38] <LuigiHutch> Why tho?

L86[21:26:02] <Trinsdar> to make the blocks more feasable for decoration

L87[21:26:27] <LuigiHutch> There’s specific decoration blocks of them already

L88[21:26:36] <LuigiHutch> Which are cheaper iirc

L89[21:26:39] <liach> @Trinsdar this has been the old way. to reduce overhead, open issue so that we only check if there is block placed

L92[23:42:01] <Generalcamo> You are still crazy to use IE or TiCon blocks for decorating
