Union Station

Unfortunately, Freeside Open mod merges Freeside into FreesideWorld worldspace, and this station stays in the FreesideNorthWorld. So Freeside Open will require a patch for TTW.

But I agree this location is a perfect idea!

sorry to say that other mods will have to bend to the will of TTW or be forced to submit to our will! Even such great mods such as Freeside Opened and even my personal mods! TTW is much more important that just one mod or two mods and if things need to be reworked in them because of TTW so be it!

Edit: side note I have had to rebuild my mods to work properly with TTW 3 or 4 times now I will do it again without question if we make another drastic change to TTW which requires it.

Tricky's Train Station Rocks and so long as it doesn't break anything vanilla it is golden in my book! If other mods need to be fixed to work with it again "So Be It!"

I'm not seeing the new NV station as in the same place as the old version. The old one was smack bang in the freeside ghetto, this one is out in the wastes? Or am I missing something?

As for the progress being made with this: AAA. Wow. This is serious.

And yes, about hierarchy, Freeside Open is in the premier league, but TTW takes precedent over all of them, even Project Nevada. And nothings supposed to come above that.

@ tiz: That's OK. You can rest assured that it's there.

@ magnum: I know freeside open is a popular mod. I would run it, too if I had the RAM. I don't foresee any problems with making this compatible.

Hehe:

What do people think about having a real-world brand/name in the game? I'd much prefer to come up with an alternate name for the railroad because of divergence and Fallout has always had fictional institutions that satirized or played on their real-world counterparts.

So instead of Union Pacific - something that's about the same length that I can squeeze into the shape of a shield as shown.

What about Colonized Freeside? It might not be as main stream, but damnit that mod makes freeside a dump! Why don't we just move the train station to a separate world space like Union Station?

Freeside is a dump. That's good to keep in mind.

Well it was the Union Pacific railroad long before divergence, BUT Fallout also falsifies names. Union refers to both uniting the country/oceans as well as America being referred to as the Union. Pacific refers to the ocean.

"Commonwealth Rail Lines" is the only thing that pops into my head.

Yeah - so the name is older and maybe belongs to both our worlds. I like having 'Union' in the name because that's also part of the name of the station in DC and you can associate the two. 'Pacific,' I feel like needs to be changed - I was thinking of something having to do with the commonwealth as well. That's too long a word, though.

Could change Union Pacific station to Santa Fe At least it is a real railroad from the south west.

It turns out that the Union Pacific railway covers pretty much everything West of the Mississippi.

So maybe something specific to the SW region would be more apt as you say. I do like their logo, though.
