  1. Commuting works! Cannot wait to see what part of your plan, you unravel next. Interesting that the children are not moving to the dome that doesn't have a station coverage. I will keep that in mind for my builds. Thank you for another wonderful video, Skye.

  3. ive been experimenting with trains and i have to say, they suck.
    I have no idea how you got them to actually move between domes. When i tried to get them to move i found they would use the train to work over in the other dome but they would never move.
    I cannot get them to transport resources both ways without creating a complete loop, which largely wastes time as it spends most of its time moving the same resources around instead of new ones.

    They are great though for getting water around. One of the biggest ways my colonies in the past would die is i ran out of water before i could build my own moister farms and the only water was halfway across the map from me. Without being able to ship water it forces a super long pipe, which also needs a long chain of drone hubs to keep repairing it, whcih also eats a ton of resources to satisfy daisy-chaining depots, which finally usually causes me to have maintenance issues because my resources are not where they need to be now.
    Now, send a transport and drone commander out to build it, build a train, train ships things back. All i need to do is occationally bring some machine parts/electronics over for repairs, which is rather infrequent. Unless an asteroid hits it i havnt notice the train tracks be a problem when stretched super far out.
    Previously i always found it funny that one of the biggest tips the GAME ITSELF tells you not to do is do not run super long power/water lines, but until trains it literally did not give you a way to avoid pipes until late game (because for some reason 9/10 of the time for me the stupid moister farms are in the last third of the damn tech tree)

  4. Train update is trash, the transport policy is a joke. Colonists don’t use it to go to other domes in my experience, just work and it causes a huge bottle neck with transporting resources to other domes, needs work and please for the love of god paradox update the trains so I can specify how many of a particular or singular resource I want for a single station

  5. I may have miss some things, have you restrict the children dome to only children? the children on train reminds me of babies in over head compartment in planes back then. lol people would ship kids off to their grandparents place by putting babies in boxes too rolf.

  6. I love watching you play this game. at the moment my PC is acting a fool for me with this game. For some reason I have no issue installing it, but whenever I try to save it I get "Not enough room on the drive." Which confuses me because I still have plenty of room where it is located. More than enough even; so After three days of looking at every file I could find I just trashed the whole thing and said EFF IT. No more Surviving Mars; EVER. so this is the best consolation prize.

  7. A thought on how to fix the distribution problem via trains. What if you set both stations to send goods? That way products will be put on the train and the stations won't have the desired amount. Then the drones fill up the missing product to the station so you get an surplus of products in the train system. Then it will always be products to pick up at both stations.
