Welcome to the first installment of my development series! If you aren't familiar, NIMBY Rails is a sandbox rail management sim that uses real-world geographic data. Unlike other tycoons, there are no limits—if you want to build a high-speed line from London to Tokyo, you can.
The simulation calculates everything from track speed and length to the shortest travel time between points, so precision matters! NIMBY.Rails.part1.rar
In this first post, I’m walking through the "Day 1" essentials: setting up the world and laying down the first stretch of track. 1. The World is Your Canvas Welcome to the first installment of my development series
Start in a city you know well. Being able to visualize the real-world demand and "pain points" of your local transit system makes the initial planning much more intuitive. 2. Mastering the UI & Controls The simulation calculates everything from track speed and
Manage your overall simulation speed (up to 100x or even "Max Speed" mode for background simulation).
Building isn't just about dragging lines. You have to consider:
