Parts worn-out happens way too fast and make this game repetive and boring

[superosh]

While I really like the mechanical-part in this game, I don't like to replace the i.e. bearings all 1 or 2 hours game-time. The same issue with the light-bulbs.
Please give us an adjustment-slider within the game-options to be able to higly decrease the worn-out ratio.(by a huge extend)
I mean...I like driving and doing some mechanical stuff, but mostly I am just doing mechanical work....over and over again.

While driving carefully, this worn-out-grind feels all over the place and really hurts the gameplay...at least for me..

[Persecuter]

lol, why you changing the bearings every 1-2hrs? Just how busted are you letting them get? I've got almost 80hrs and I think I've changed them 2, maybe 3 times at most and I've never changed the bulbs since they burned out the first time, no point!

[superosh]

If you have not changed the bulbs, because they are breaking too often....this just proves my point of too much damage-ratio per part.
For the axle-bearings, I let them go down to =< 20 percent, given the limited space in inventory we have.
I am about 24 hours in, and have replaced most of them at least 3 times, which is boring.

Again, everybody on its own, a damage-ratio-slider would givethe option to choose whatever damage you want.
And...having options is allways a good thing, imo.

I don't care about Steam archivements, if this would mean, I could not get them... I am ok with this.(if using a customized..non-standard-but-more-realistic-damage-ratio)

I agree, you must change several components in a complete route, one way. Now I have to kill those poor maintence comrades to make things easier...

[Futuristic Hexagon]

I can understand some components having a shortened lifespan considering the time and place, but honestly, some feel a little ridiculous, especially the lightbulbs and some of the cab components.

What frequencies are we talking about? I just crossed the river tom right after yurga and had to change my first part, a damper with three other parts at about 35%.

Is it depending on the driving style, going always over speed ?

[superosh]

Even if you drive carefully within the speed-limits, the train is a wreck after 500 km's.
All bearings are done, heaters are done. Same for the brake cylinders, even that I am not using them as much....and allways within their limits.
Again, if someone finds this entertaining, to make same repairs over and over again...fine.

I mean the repairs are not a challenge, even not in simulation-only-mode, but just too much.(imho).
A slider to adjuts the worn-out-ratio would fix this and would save the game for me.
For the moment, I stopped playing , because I was tired to perform bearing-repairs + some brake cylinders again and again.
And...what about the heater or the speedo-meter ? It's just too much worn out, and does not provide any sensefull gameplay at some point. And...ofc...the bulbs...

[Seine Dudeheit]

I agree with you the wear and tear seems to progress a little bit too fast. Replaced the dampers and not long after 4 missions for the mobsters,one is down to 70s again.
So yeah an option would be nice to reduce it.

Does a part above 0% cause problems? The tutorial in Story just has you replace a 0% part and doesn't give info about anything else?

Было бы неплохо, сделать в игре регулировку под игрока. К примеру: мне поломки ненужны, я просто сажусь в локомотив и еду, после тяжелого рабочего дня. Я просто управляю! И еще, сделайте кнопку уборку всех подсказок на экране (надписи, карта, деньги, стрелки, помойки и т д) Почему в скоростемере нед самописцев, хотя бы тикали. Компанию не играю, полный бред. Занимаюсь перевозками вагонов. Для меня это лучший ЖД сим, только из за того что не в одном нет ВЛ-10, Российской ЖД, станций. Главное: 1-Хочу кнопку уборки всей информации, значков и т д с экрана. 2- Убрать поломки локомотива, в настройках пользователя.

You must have been in a hurry typing that... It's obvious you were rushin'. Hur hur hur.
