@ThomasRoderick How large are these carboard boxes? Could they even fit inside a car? Chances are they could be pulled on a cart.
Perhaps, but then you have to make sacrifices elsewhere. Alternatively, delivery services are much better nowadays. Under the assumption that American-style suburbs have been nearly entirely phased out, perhaps a miniature guage railway could perform deliveries. If that's too unreliable, you could use drones (which would present much less potential disaster than trying to bring a whole person to a store and back with a flying car).
This ain't 1850 anymore. Terrain isn't nearly so great a restriction as it used to be. If a mountain needs to be blasted away so a large-gauge railway can avoid sharp turns, so be it. Unfortunately those nuclear test bans also include tests for pure-fusion explosives, so there's a lot of lost time to make up for there...
Japan is hardly a role model. Their transit is notoriously overcrowded, to say nothing of how strict they are with timelines because of it (and the disasters this has caused). Japan needs far, far more transit.
To be real, I do not view Japan favourably, but that is neither here nor there.
@Boeing727200F Alright there's no getting this any better. I'm calling it quits.
I was inspired by that post the other day with the helicopter and ill-fitted helmet, along with your trench warfare on WPlace, to parody the Two-Thousand-Yard Stare. Y'know, the painting used in the PTSD soldier meme. It didn't really turn out all that great.. Ew. Could not get that expression down.
In any case, I tried. If I have to do this again I am going to kill somebody.
@ThomasRoderick
"Specialist" here basically means "used only sometimes for specific duties". For example, if you need to move furniture you can rent/take out a truck.
Perhaps. Though I reckon it's better to restock many smaller stores (for everyday items) using a few trucks than have to put up with one massive story with many cars. Alternatively, make it so the one massive store can be easily and quickly reached every few days so people don't need to do large shopping trips.
I will never stop advocating that rail gauge needs to be increased. The more tracks are built to that tiny ~1.4m standard the deeper this problem becomes. A bigger standard NEEDS to be adopted, at least for major lines. Personally I'd put 3m as ideal. The current gauge is probably the single biggest logistically limiter around in regards to how big things can be. Everything else can be made bigger, except when trains are involved. Trains are great, but they are FAR too small at present.
As for wagons, more meant personally things like like those folding fabric ones some people have.
Transit certainly can't do everything (I admitted as much myself earlier), but they can do a lot more than often credited.
@jamesPLANESii Have you considered using electronic pulses? That's what I do.
Granted, I should probably learn to use more output points, but that's difficult so I'm staying with five.
@ThomasRoderick True. Individual vehicles are specialist, however. Additionally, it's better to have a grocery system that doesn't require long distance travel to begin with.
Also, larger (read: wider) rail cars could alleviate much of the space issues to begin with. Additionally, if stations can be made wheelchair accessible I see no reason they couldn't accommodate something akin to a wagon.
@SkyJayTheFirst It looks interesting. I'm not one to use others' subassemblies if I can help it (what worth does a feature reflect if I didn't create it?), so this is of little value to me, but it's an interesting development nonetheless.
You cannot shoot the hurricane into submission.
Has anything been done insofar as variables or FT?

@Boeing727200F You're welcome. Now it'll haunt your nightmares too.
Think the pupils probably could've been bigger...
Was originally going to put more background details but honestly there was no saving this.

@SimplyElegant Impressive!
@Randomplayer Uh, probably shouldn't do that. Harder to catch mistakes as you type.
@Boeing727200F No, not that.
It's not on WPlace. Inspired by it, though.

@Randomplayer The suggested website does that.
I got ~71-78 at 95% accuracy. Not great, not terrible.
@Randomplayer Reasonable. Accuracy?
@Boeing727200F I'm losing my marbles right now.
I can't say why because it's a surprise but just know I'm losing my marbles.

@TheLoadingGorilla I do wonder who has the most...
Completely unrelated fun fact: I'm on the 750th page of comments for this account.
That's a lot I think.
The green things.
@TheLoadingGorilla Then I shall assume it is below 30.
@TheLoadingGorilla Probably.
I mean, hell, the post tag system desperately needs overhaul yet it's the same as ever.
@TheLoadingGorilla Then what is it?
If it's a rule it's absolutely not enforced. Loads of people have alts openly and nothing is done about it.
@TheLoadingGorilla Your full date of birth?
Fr what does this mean I'm confused
@TheLoadingGorilla Your IP address?
@TheLoadingGorilla Is your type speed tied to your credit card number?
