Community Rejected Winter train

[Holy Grenade]

I am building onto my winter train collection and would like to add more track. Track that curve to the left and right and straight track that runs north south, east and west.
I understand that the train does not move but I can run track around my outer city giving the impression that it does.

This would be more for aesthetic?

 

[Athanasia 2368 the Cruel]

Yes

It sounds nice, but what other benefit .... it will take up space for buildings??

 

[Xenosaur]

geometrically, it's complex to do this as you envision. It's complex to enforce the connection and disconnection rules of the current item design and graphically have straight cars (or no cars) on curved track in a 2x3 (6 square) footprint. Can it be done? Sure. Cost to do it vs reward for doing it? Skewed badly in favor of cost to Inno to implement with little benefit to users other than "beauty"/"city artwork.

Yes, aesthetically a nice idea, but graphically/technically pretty horrific, on balance.

I like the idea as a potential future type concept, but it needs to be decoupled from current event buildings. I have to vote NO.

The OP seems to be suggesting 2 90-degree bends (one bends to the N, the other to the S) and 3x2 cars that would have a N/S orientation that can connect at either end. To maintain scale the bends would need to be 3x3. Although in some cases it would probably look pretty, I have to vote no

I like the idea. I would also think it would be really cool if the train ran around the track.

OK if INNO went for this and designed special expansions that could be placed in the corners to accommodate such curved track the would need to be a lot more expensive than normal expansions in order to recover the cost of the new programming and also graphic design work. How many diamonds would you be willing to spend on them? To me, normal expansions are costly enough. Plus all these carriages would be very inefficient as the space they will take up could be better utilized with other buildings. So apart from making a city look like a Christmas toy shop display. what practical use would this be?

A step into the right direction, more annimation and more landscape optic , I love youre approachto make it happen..//thx

Track is a nice idea. Might lead to other things, like terminals, road crossings, etc. But in FOE, what would it do for the City? More goods? More FPs? Attack/Defense?

 

[Notorious RHG]

This seems perilously close to a suggestion of rotating buildings, which I'm pretty sure is on the do not suggest list.

An animation of Jesse and the James Gang staging armed robbery if its plundered?

Too difficult to implement, useful for 0.01% or less of all players ever. Big no.

What nonsense. Vote no if you want to, but no one knows even what this would be, so the remarks concerning implementation and utility have no basis.

There are railroad games you could play if you want this kind of thing. Wouldn't work too well within the FoE structure. Hard no.

Well, I got three likes for my comment. you have none. So i would again say my approximation as to the user base percentages was spot on. LOL

 

[Oswyn the noble]

I voted no because i dont have animation active on this device with low memory, thus wont be able to enjoy it "if" it was able to move around...plus it would take up alot of space...space needed for other essential bldgs

There would be rotations involved in this suggestion. You would need an east and a west connection, which would be mirror images of each other, and the second one easy to do with photoshop or similar graphix program. Likewise, the north and south ones could be just duplicated after the artist drew just one of them.

 

[LoveNkind]

Come to think of it, this might be implemented with a track running all around the city just outside all the expansion space. This could be a single item (an expensive one) and all your train buildings would be moved onto it.
