Hi, my name is Zigg, and I think it is about time a randomizer is added to the game.
This website aims to fix the problem of not knowing or caring what to play!
There is no connection
between my tool and the game itself. This means the choices the randomizer spits out have to
be entered manually.
|
| Combine routes, locomotive types, locomotives, weather presets and times of day in any way imaginable. The tool randomly chooses a service based on that combination. The default configuration is everything selected. |
| The randomizer can be weighted towards route, locomotive or service. See Extra Settings on the last page. * |
| Display a summary of your configuration. |
| Animate the randomization process. |
| Display real life live weather for the origin of the randomized service. |
| Generate a link to Trenomarcus' timetable website for the randomized service, with timetable information for all stops along the route. |
* Default is Locomotive
There are two essential things to understand when configuring the tool.
1. Every item (with a thumbnail) in the configuration that is not
faded will be added to the randomization pool.
This is the default behaviour if you do not configure anything.
Clicking a thumbnail will select that item only, and all others
on the current step will be removed from the pool. You can select
multiple items on the same step.
2. Each previous step in the configuration acts as a filter
for the next one(s). That means if you select a certain route as
the first step, the remaining steps will dynamically update to
match that selection. In other words, if you choose a route that
allows both freight and passenger runs, and select freight as
locomotive type, only the locomotives that have freight services
will be selectable in the locomotive step. If you modify a
previous step, the tool will throw out any choices you made after
that step. The only exceptions to this are weather and time of day
selection as these are independent of the others.
If something is unclear, try going to one of the configuration
steps and click one of the thumbnails. Then go to the very bottom of
the page by clicking the lowest dot to the right labelled "Randomize"
(if using a mobile device scroll to the very bottom).
Then click "Summary" to see how the randomization pool has been
affected by your choices.
