I was streaming on Aux2 and tested the Trainyard Changes with Chat! Spoiler: Loving it 馃槏
At the beginning I drove around the entire map, collected everything and had a huge train to drain for juicy ressources. Overall it feels awesome, its great for the game (more roams & less camping one monument and holding it which happens sadly the entire time on high pop). It should be definitely worth to do in my opinion cause its quiet an effort you put in there (time wisely) and for a solo quiet difficult to manage once getting hold of more trains. So the loot has to be a bit jummy!
The Ressources from each wagon felt way too less to make it worth for a Clan/Trio/Duo or Solo. So here are our changes for the Resources:
We were also wondering why you didnt add Wood, Stone or HQ Ore Wagons. So here our Balancing for those wagons:
I am playing High Pop most of my Wipes (solo or duo) and I think this should be suitable. If its just not worth for the players as of right now, they wont do it. And there is nothing wrong with putting a little too much loot in there so more people try to push the onground train 馃槈
Rather nerf the loot next wipe once people tell you its too much (which I dont think with our parameters from the top). In Labs you can get 1k Scrap, 300HQ and shit tone of Comps in 10 Minutes at 600 Pop +. So the train wouldn't be of interest for anyone right now over there.
The LGF felt really good, I believe its between 500-750 which is really cool! Loving it! (As of right now, its only worth for the Low Grade)
The Loot Wagon should at LEAST contain 2 Mili and 2 Normal Crates. Not sure why Food and Medical Boxes are on there. Maybe 2 Mili, 2 Normal and 1 Tool Box. Would feel a little better, but its nothing to be honest 馃檲
Some questions that came up during the stream were the following:
How fast do empty wagons despawn?
How fast do they respawn? And is the Respawn rate binded like Loot at Monuments to the Population on Server? (I am worried that you wont find trains on High Pop to be honest 馃檲 )
To sum up, I would love to see people pushing for train Roams on Ground because its actually worth it. As of right now it feels way off and I would only do Train Roams to show it to chat but for real progression I prefer Labs/Oil/Node Farming.
