TRAIN

[Azziax 81]

It would be really nice place two main rotor assemblies on a locomotive and make your own improvised Chinook.

Uhm, yeah .... Okay....

Controls? Weight? Engine? shape? etc......

As long as the fares are not extortionate and they let me on the late night ones with my kebab and chips'n'cheese after a heavy night on the JD in Cherno I'm cool with them. :thumbsup:

A fixable train would be AWESOME! (An autonomous train would not.)

Imagine the effort getting it to work! Imagine the reward when you're finally steaming (by way of diesel) down the track. Imagine the absolutely HUMONGOS amount of gear you could stash into it. Imagine the gun platforms you could upgrade it with. Just fucking imagine!

You are right.

OP is wrong in every sense of the word............... Automatic trains? What have you been smoking son?

How would this work? If it was coal powered, good luck finding several tons of coal to make it operate. Would your character automatically know how to drive a train? Why would it not derail after several years of railway maintenance by only Derpski the zombie? There are just too many holes for this to work.

[bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204]

Why not just add a couple handcars to the tracks?

[Faceman Peck 93]

Looks like people have finally come to their senses

[Lady Kyrah 1110]

I guess after the apocalypse, the number one priority of survivors will be to fix and maintain the only vehicle that is both loud, huge and follow the most predictable path ever?

Words : Japanese technician goes to russia and makes a automated train that looks like thomas the train.

No thanks. too easy to die in my opinion and its just way to fast to travel.

[fluxley 2228]

Get a bus. park it on the rail tracks. shoot the tyres out. theres your train.

It would be pretty pointless and certainly get you killed, but it would be amusing.

Maybe you could apply large amounts of scrap to make it somewhat armoured it would make up for the lack of maneuverability.

Train are useless in chernarus since there is not alot of train track and it soo short I would be good if you have The biggiest map in game history with alot of track on it ......

biggest map ive heard of was the size of a country 400km.

Gotta agree with you there, without a much bigger map trains are a mere novelty.

[Banana_Duck 121]

I really want train! But would it desync? Lag? If so someone should mod one of those 2 man rail cart thingy

[Horny goldfish (DayZ) 10]

If this where implimented I would be the guy that put a satchel charge on the track and waited

[linusis 6]

not an entire train and not auto

[benny1994 3]

Train would be great. I agree with it, because there is a railway at the Chernarus, why not the train which we could use?

Imagine you running away from 20 zombies. Your friend is about to start the train and drive. Then in a last second you jump into the back of the train and escape. Zombies keeps chasing your train for a while. I love this suggestion. +1

[Rekli 995]

And you want to run through the woods only?

And to run through the woods in 90% of time are cool?

you don't understand the spirit of dayZ

It's a SIMULATOR and sure you may say "but the morphine" "the never ending fuel" that's minor

but having free travel to loot points that never ends....that's just making things easy

some people actually enjoy taking tactical routes towards a town (i have know idea why,maybe they just like it)

also Trains move....getting out a moving vehicle breaks legs.....your stuck on that fucker forever and if has a station it stops at *get out* *see bandit* *die*

[Drbane 944]

Adding trains would take away the realism in the game, what wil the next suggestion be, a taxi company?

[audax 207]

Yaaay, bandit train assault like the far west! u.u

[Death_Dealer 3155]

I don't recall the average civilian being able to fully repair and operate a freight train.

[spinager 152]

Isn't Rocket all about giving the community the tools to do stuff and then watching to see what happens ?

I wouldn't be surprised if he eventually gave the community the tools to get the railroad operating and run it themselves.

On some servers it would be bandit operated, and on others a survivor operated service.

Then once we get horses (community created again) we can play Butch Cassidy and rob the trains.

You're thinking too high mate.

[exomonkeyman 103]

Such a cool idea. But there would constant train robbery's every second. Bandits just killing :L

[Serious Stan 202]

Magic27, i cant put this in any nice way.

You are retarded.

[LancerG2 369]

not an entire train and not auto

Yeah, I would rather have just a locomotive and a rare wagon scattered along the lines on a loop compared to a whole train waiting for you. Maybe just a single locomotive like this one: http://www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/pics07/russia07006.jpg

the train would be under a coaling and water station and the train requires a two person team. The train must be driven under the coaling tower (The tender) to refuel for coal while the engine would be driven under a fueling tower. The train (being fully fueled) can run for two hours before needing more coal.

The occassional wagon you would find would be a four wheeled flatbed/flatcar/blah blah that had sandbags on it, you can couple this to the front or back of the train and it would be a early dectection as you would have a better view than the drivers of the locomotive.

" There's really no way a small group of survivors could get a steam train up and running, much less keep it running (very large chance of inexperienced crew blowing the damn thing up)." - Bigmike.

Dude it's not coming from the ingame charecters expertice, Its coming from the real life players expertice, I mean isn't dayz about making your story and how YOU fit in the zombie infested churno?
