SurvivorSean Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 One thing that I know has been talked about but not in the ideas that I'm aware of is Single Player that would allow you to play as if you are joining a server. However you can set the time as you would be essentially hosting your own server. This would allow you to use whatever editors were available depending on how far along the software is. But the main feature is being able to play any position with the others in AI. As an added bonus it would be nice to host either locally, part of the network, or through Steam. You would be able to set the requirements to join possible access etc. Considering the servers appear to be geographically separated (or using Steam's servers) being able to become part of one to allow a group of friends, clan, etc. would be a very rewarding experience. In addition to the servers publically available, having this would reduce or eliminate trolls, and those trying to mess up a server and have an enjoyable process.

Loongeron Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) I've already tried 🥲 And here the problems that prevent this are described in detail. Edited December 28, 2022 by Loongeron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightdrug Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 i like the idea of a open world SP like you take coal cars and bring them to the powerplant and there you can decide what you can do next like bring back a other empty coal car fright train back to a coal mine ^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurvivorSean Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 As far as the server I see that post and that is fine if it's not included. There are pros and cons of having private servers but the big one I overlooked is that the public servers would die, just like MP on private servers for Run8 died off when AI became a thing. As long as we have features and there is ways to deal with trolls I'll live with it as I do enjoy seeing people that otherwise wouldn't be on my private server. My main point for doing this was the single player part. I am more of a MP person but I do know people who avoid MP for some of the issues we are seeing (trolls, stuck at signals, etc.) Having another option might be appealing for some. The AI eventually needs random factors. For example TD3 had a random delay and random startup delays as well as random issues. Something that tries to emulate this would make it a bit more interesting. Otherwise I'm fine with how things are now. Thanks Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
