The whimsical physics of the Trainziverse

[johnnytrain]

Sometimes I like to zoom out from route building and look at my layout from space and ponder the deeper metaphysical questions in-game TRAINZ characters might be occupied by, like: Do they wonder if they're living in a simulation? or What lies beyond the outermost baseboards? and If we keeping adding baseboards do they eventually curve back on themselves so that we end up back where we started? or Is the pixel the most fundamental particle? or Are there other layouts besides ours and how would we know? or Will the next update destroy the universe?

(Apologies for the whimsical drift which will neither help enthusiasts build better routes or solve layout issues, but there are more things in TRAINZ and Earth...)

...Will the next update destroy the universe?

That happened way back at TANE, they've been living in a frighteningly warped parallel universe ever since......

Pondering what lies beyond

Somewhere in the Multiverse there is a world where your worst Trainz route exists as a reality. That is a very sobering thought.

Somewhere out in the multiverse I actually finished one of my routes.....

Somewhere the Trainz sun resides.

Somewhere in the Multiverse is another duplicate of my computer where I didn't lose my route. . . .

How would you like to be transformed into a Trainz 3D person and have to live within your own route ? Where's a comfortable bed when you need one ? You might be able to hear the steaks sizzle on the grill with the right sound file, but will the food have any flavor ? It might get a little lonely while seeking companionship.
I like big routes so that I won't feel so trapped within the baseboard limits.

What lies beyond the Outer Limits.

What lies beyond the Outer Limits.

What else--- The Twilight Zone!!

I have it all in my care home!
But I still can't understand CM. One day there will be a light...

 

[JimDep]

What else--- The Twilight Zone!!

Which also lies within The Outer Limits.

Maybe we are all in a simulation...............

@ess1 - Then you might find this CM walkthrough useful > Post #1802 This is for Newbies who might like learning about Content Manager? AKA "CM"

Sort of like a Star Trek Holodeck.

There was a Star Trek episode that was centred around a steam train that was running on the holodeck.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Episode 7x23, "Emergence". most of the episode takes place within the holodeck, specifically on a mockup of the orient express, as the ship's computer seems to develop its own intelligence and consciousness. pretty good episode!
