for the love of me i cannot find the dampers

btw i have seen this locomotive

Probably not

Will you re-make it?

Fluids and glasses update broke this creation

After that it returns to 0 and does not go up?

When I spawn in the boiler pressuare is 5162.52 PSI

Make sure physics simulation is set to high, but this locomotive was broken by the gasses update and no longer functions properly anyways

ill check in 1 day for a reapply

enzocats could you guide me?

hi i spawn i the loco in and parts are shaking uncontrollably, (i have vehicle damage off to start)

Time permitting, and when the updates/fixes with how steam is handled in the game stabilize we will fix whatever issues exist.
We appreciate your understanding during this period, and your continued interest!

same issue

Anyone else having issues with boiler pressure? I can only ever get up to 60 psi max. Turning on the systems makes it go to about 30 psi. Something I'm doing wrong?

when i do all the steps and when i get the the reverser step i cant make it go forward and im clicking e or q.

When i start it the pressuare stays at 32

when i spawn it the train shakes

forgor what its called sry

any chance you could make fritso

No

could you make the train fit the workbench with true train wheels

Enzocats , well I'll be a monkey's uncle! Guess I'd better eat my words...atleast partially ;)

The devs recently made it so that the heat from fireboxes is enough to kill any players standing near them so until they fix that the firebox does actually kill you

jpkjoelstrup, I'm sorry I don't understand what "die to the heat" means. As far as I know you cannot die from you internal body temperature rising too high ingame.
Its worth noting that this build is likely not working as intended after the most recent bout of updates, but I'm sure in due time the Developers will fix things and thus Enzo and I will fix the NKP 759.
Sorry for you trouble, but thanks for the comment.

i die to the heat all the time

Officer, that pretty much sums it up, thanks for helping out!

crkcoffey, if you are ever in a "modern" (by which I mean anything newer then about the 1920's) home, and it has a fireplace, you will likely see a damper lever; and it works the same as one on a steam locomotive.
As you know, warm air rises; and a fire draws fresh air in from it's base. So if you can help it do so, you'll have yourself a roaring fire.
Same goes for if/when you go camping. If you want the fire to rage, clear some or all of the ash away from it's base. ;)

Hope that helps!

dampers are valves on the bottom of the firebox (i think?) that let air into the fire (they basically "damp" the fire with air if that makes sense), they're required for the fire to function or else it would run out of air and eventually die or lose heat drastically

on big locomotives like these, only one should be open while moving because too much air can blow out the fire

what are the front and back dampers instructions not clear enough

Officer, ok good to hear you're following the directions.
Rather then "try" to keep the front damper closed, maybe a better way I should of said it was to NOT have it open at all. It'll blow out your fire in very short order.
Sorry for the confusion.

for the blower, i turn it off past 4 mph, as said by the startup checklist

i don't have the non-lifting injector activated, i prefer to use the feedwater pump, which i only use while moving

i do try to keep the front damper closed while moving forward. i'm gonna resort to saying the problem is my game because it's not happening to anybody else

Officer, sorry you're having trouble. I'd be curious to now what other systems you have 'on', namely the Blower, and the "Non-Lifting Injector". They both require steam, (and in the case of the Injector, consume a large amount) and should only be used at low speeds or when stationary.
Also, (as counter intuitive as it is) the back damper is only for when going forwards, and the forward damper is for when reversing. I know, weird right?! But that's how it's done on the real deal....

Using both dampers while stationary will have no ill effect on your fire (infact, I encourage it as it allows more air into the firebox without using the blower); BUT once moving the air being taken in one damper will pass over the fire and out the other damper literally blowing the fire out. Which appears is what is happening to you in your video.
If you have further trouble PLEASE let us know, and if there is a problem it will be fixed.

Again, sorry for the trouble but thanks for the video and explaining your problem(s), I hope this helps!

could the problem be how the fire reacts to pressure? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVnsdehg1jU

Sorry I'm not the one who made the firing controller, let me ask Gerunimo and see if he knows anything about this

i believe i've identified the problem on my end - past a certain temperature (around 320c), the air intake gets forced to 8L/s, which causes the fire to die down below 120 and hover around 110/115 (125c is needed to get the boiler to create pressure), is there any way that i could fix this? what's even more confusing is that nobody else seems to be having the problem

i managed to keep the locomotive going by keeping full throttle and 20% power reverser. when the firebox got below 100c, i turned on the front damper, waited a few seconds, and the fire started back up again, then dies down, and the cycle repeats

Sorry I cannot recreate the issue on my end, what I can think of is make sure infinite electricity is disabled and you leave the firebox locking door closed but I assume you already know this

sounds good! i'll be using your shinkansen 0 series for now, so far i'm really enjoying it with stormlink!

Let me check it out tonight and make sure nothing is broken

i unfortunately forgot to include it in the video, but, the fire usually dies down to the ambient temperature, and i need to turn off then back on both dampers to get it going again

The fire in the video isn't stopped it just lowers the temperature in order to control pressure, as long as the fire is above 100 C steam is being generated and I believe Gerunimo built this locomotive to run with a cooler fire

i believe that the locomotives firebox is bugged. i've followed the startup and getting moving checklist step-by-step aswell as the tips & tricks, and for some reason the fire randomly "stops", i can't do anything to prevent it, i've uploaded an unlisted video to provide more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTZH99-EN3M

what tile is the terminal camodo workbench?

whats the maximum amount of cars this can pull at decent speeds?

PLS

MAKE 765

Decrease the cutoff lever

i follow your steps word for word multiple times and i can only squeak out 12 mph from the loco

Nevermind got it working

So spawn it using a mission
