3 please

3. Traveling by train or by plane?

Where am I going? I think it kinda depends on where I’m going.

But I’ve always wanted to ride a train. It sounds so cool and like…like really classy, ya know? Especially since traveling by plane is like the norm. I think riding a legit train would be fun!

THE ATLANTIC EXPRESS

The outmoded railway system that runs through the oldest districts of Rapture. Built by Prentice Mill in the city's early days, the Atlantic Express was once the Rapture populace's primary mode of transport. After the introduction of the Rapture Metro system of personal bathyspheres the Atlantic Express fell out of favor and went bankrupt. The tracks remain largely intact, if disused.

The Atlantic Express Maintenance Depot was home to the drafting offices of the train company's brilliant mechanical engineers, as well as an enormous switching roundhouse, and a central station for passengers headed to all points on the Express's train lines.

Effective Modes of Transport in Supply Chain Management

Supply chain management involves different modes of transport to manage the flow of shipments, data, and finances from the stage of raw materials to the delivery of the completed product to the customer. To execute better transportation, we need to learn some essential considerations suitable to your kind of shipping of the products to make our procedures easy and efficient.

As per ABC Express, the business of logistics involves transportation, supplying, and also the delivery of goods, so to be able to find the right transport provider, we need to know about the powerful mediums of delivering our goods, by which we can research with more clarity. Let us now go through a thorough, detailed guide by ABC Express regarding the understanding of effective mediums of logistics in supply chain management.

Role of Transportation in Supply Chain Management

According to ABC Express, transport is a very essential part of supply chain management. It influences efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and also customer satisfaction.

First of all, it is crucial to find a responsible transportation company that provides us with all the benefits we deserve while enrolling for dispatching our shipments to the preferred locations. ABC Express is a transportation firm that helps you achieve the best outcomes with a satisfactory experience overall.

At ABC Express, we understand that selecting an appropriate means of transport under supply chain management can simplify operation executions and beautify the delivery of services.

Potential Modes of Transport in Supply Chain Development

Having an idea about the potential modes of transportation process sets you free of worry and overthinking regarding the shipping of your goods.

Now, we will examine different types of transportation helpful in supply chain management below:

Road Transportation

Road transportation offers flexibility, due to which you can avail door to door-to-door services which makes it appropriate in terms of short-distance shipping. Also, the most reliable road transportation companies, like ABC Express, provide you with accessibility, by which you can reach remote areas where the other modes don’t exist. It also offers you quick transportation for your goods during local deliveries, which saves you time.

Benefits:

Direct door-to-door delivery.

Easier tracking compared to air and sea freight.

Drawbacks:

Weather-dependent; delays due to road obstructions.

Higher breakdown rates compared to other modes.

Air Transportation

Air transport services offer you the fastest means of long-distance transportation, which saves you precious time. This mode is an ideal way of transporting shipments and high-value goods. Also, it comes along with an offering of a high level of security to safeguard your sensitive and valuable goods.

Benefits:

Fastest mode for long-distance transit.

Good on-time reliability with strict scheduling.

Drawbacks:

Most expensive due to high fuel costs.

Not suitable for large volumes of cargo.

Rail Transportation

In the medium of rail transportation, we are offered an economical way of logistics, providing us cost-efficiency in transporting items over long distances. Rails can carry a huge quantity of cargo, decreasing per-unit costs as well as compared to other mediums. It also remains less affected by different weather conditions.

Benefits:

Greater capacity than road transportation.

Cost-effective for long distances with fewer delays.

Drawbacks:

Requires proper infrastructure for transit.

Slower than road transport, relying on other modes.

Sea Transportation

This means of transport is identified as the most economical for goods of huge capacity, especially to be delivered internationally. Also, it reduces carbon footprint per ton-mile comparatively. Along with that, it comes with versatility, which is suitable for several cargo categories, including oversized as well as heavy goods.

Benefits:

Economical for large loads with high scalability.

Environmentally friendly with rare weather impact.

Drawbacks:

Longer transit times due to slower speed.

Requires other modes for complete logistics.

Multimodal Transportation

Often, with large-scale industries, companies prefer a mix of two or more modes to achieve their logistical goals. This is termed multimodal transportation, in which large steel containers get transferred through the different modes of transportation in supply chain management.

Benefits:

Increased safety for consignments using containers.

Cost reduction through optimization of transport options.

Drawbacks:

Longer movement times due to multiple modes.

Extended documentation is required.

Using Intermodal Transportation for Better Efficiency

Intermodal transport involves ample modes of transportation to optimize logistics. By simplifying our innovation-driven solutions, we at ABC Express provide seamless transitions between diverse categories of transport, increasing efficiency as well as decreasing costs in your supply chains.

Make Appropriate Decisions

Among the various types of transportation, choosing an appropriate mode of transportation depends upon several factors, that also includes the nature of goods, distance, urgency, and budget. When you Choose ABC Express we provide you insights along with specific tools to assist you in making informed decisions that align with your particular needs in supply chain management.

Bawling my eyes out at the thought of Dick’s last bit of parting advice for Damian on how to be Bruce’s Robin (before he went back to blud) being “just pretend to fall asleep during a stake out. Trust me”

Of course Damian’s sceptical and it takes him a long time to even THINK about making himself look that vulnerable but his curiosity eventually wins and he pretends to fall asleep during a boring night.

He thought he was prepared for all possibilities but he was not prepared for Bruce to call out his name, sigh softly and scoop him up, not letting go of him even once until they reach his bed (he will never admit it but he actually did end up falling asleep). He was absolutely not prepared for Bruce to take his shoes off, tuck him in and hesitate just a little second before giving him a forehead kiss and leaving the room silently. He ends up actually falling asleep on the very next week

Addressing the debate about if tim takes up a new identity, what should it be. So far, we know in canon that tim has been Robin, Red Robin, Robin again, Drake (blame bart), and Robin again. He's never actually taken a name for himself, Red Robin was just what the newspapers seemed to call him and it was also Jasons identity. Even Drake was Barts idea after they went to alternate timeline and fought evil versions of themselves (again) and bart thought it was a great name.

So, my argue is that even though names like cardinal, rook, jackdaw, red hawk are all interesting, I think that Tim wouldn't really make up an identity for himself and would just kinda roll with whatever the news calls him. HOWEVER. Tim also values his loved ones with a high regard and he incorporates a piece of them when hes lost them with himself. For example, Kons death made him change the iconic Robin colours to red and black to honour him. I know that the red robin suit was already existing but he wore it after Bruces death and I like to believe that the cowl was a nod to Bruce. When he was in the unternet and we see how he perceives himself as (probably my favourite tim costume), his costume kinda looks like nightwings with the red depiction and this is when tim and dicks relationship is strained (a bit of a reach, i know, but like. Look at it.).

And what does Tim love more than anything in the world? His car, redbird. DC has not included redbird in ANY comics since he had to sell it to alfred for like a million bucks when his dads company went bankrupt and I have been scouring, searching through the wilderness that is modern dc for this fucking car. I do not know where it is and its killing me. Tim loved that car. He is a car guy to his core and the lack of rebird in modern dc has lead me to believe that redbird has died.

Therefore! Tim should be Redbird, honouring the loss of his beloved car and incorporating it into his own identity. it still incorporates the red part of his identity but it leaves robin entirely. Also, on a more serious note, in his chats with Lonnie Machin he uses the alias Redbird and other villains have called him redbird before so like. its not impossible. And i miss redbird like actually him being a car guy was so important to me and like tims relationship with cars is literally so important. like secretly shipping a batmobile to san francisco, being the only one that the supercycle would let drive it, being so proud of his car and remote controlling it and i just love redbird and i miss it.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

Descriptions & preview pics under the cut:

Most of this CC is straightforward, but I wanted to highlight some important stuff real quick. Click the links for extra images--Tumblr's 30 pic limit is NOT conducive to closely examining 100 pieces of CC:

The 2-storey column versions are only decorative, cuz IDK how to make them as real multi-storied columns.

The Chinese Couch as Bedframe (Decor) is the spiritual successor to the other one I made here--it's just a new design for variety's sake, since BMW had one I could convert too:

I actually HATE how the Cloudy SN EP Magic Mirror turned out; it's really bad, seeing the transition from a round mirror to a rectangular magic mirror (TBH my gif actually removed several frames)--but heck if I know how to fix it. Which is why I also included just a regular basegame Clouds Mirror:

The Octagonal Stalactites are under Misc Decor, fully routable. They also have no backfaces, so you can easily see your room from a birdseye pov.

The Cloud Staff ACC & Dragon Staff ACC are Unisex, Teen - Elder, Everyday - Outerwear, etc etc.

The Bungalow Fireplace 1 (High Poly) is freaking enormous, but I couldn't resist.

As usual, the Cauldron as Spherefish Modded Fireplace 100% REQUIRES Spherefish's cauldron/fireplace mod at MTS to work. The mesh is a tad too big &Y bulky, but I wanted it that way, so....

Huaguoshan Tian di Ling Shi as SN EP Faery House is the magic rock Sun Wukong is believed to have been born/asleep inside of. Only the fae know for sure what's going on in there, though! 👀👀👀

The Magic Furnace as a Fireplace is self explanatory, but it also comes in 2 extra types:

SN EP Gemcutter (High Poly) (under Hobbies & Skills)

SN EP Philosopher's Stone (High Poly) (under Debug)

I'm REALLY sad that I don't know how to add a fire FX, so they burn like an actual furnace/fireplace would. Instead, you'll just have to use the Fog Emitter. I used s30_fireplace3x1raging in my gameplay pics. (I warned y'all that it's high poly AF, but tbh I have like a dozen of these on the same lot and everything's fine, so.... YOLO? 🤷)

The GEN EP Keeper's Cane (Buy Mode) | Keeper's Cane ACC (DR Mod) made me so frikkin happy. (I used it with the Canes for All Ages mod at MTS, but that mod is NOT required!)

Buy the Cane in Hobbies & Skills with the rest of the GEN EP canes. The ACC file isn't an actual accessory you can pick in CAS, it's the cane animation that the sim uses when walking around. Without it, EA's default cane will appear instead, so you NEED both files for it to work right (I didn't wanna risk Merging the files in S3PE).

Ngl I kinda borked the Keeper Shrine C1 as Wishing Well | Flowers (High Poly) | Smoke Trails as Table Light (Animated Texture).

Because there's a decorative slot on the shrine (for the Incense), you might have to place the Flowers and Smoke down FIRST, and THEN place the Shrine. So just a heads up! (If you squint you can barely see the Snake as FX Machine on the right in the gif.)

I wanted the Lotus Yaoguai to be a functional Cowplant SO DANG BAD, but I couldn't get it to work for the life of me. 😔 So instead it's just a LN EP FX Machine.

Y'all know me: when I see Hozuki in the game files, I HAVE to convert them. This time, I gave them the Fullbright Glow effect. (The Trumpet Flowers have the Fullbright Glow, too, btw.)

The Coffin and Pot are both IP EP Treasure Chests, found under Debug.

There are regular basegame Shroom plants, but I also added Shrooms as AMB EP Hygienator (under Plumbing), so that they spray out air freshener (read: SPORES) whenever sims walk past.

The Shroom Hat ACCs are direct matches, ofc.

I made the Gourd ACCs (Unisex, under Rings) specifically to go with my No Ghost Hunter Gun mod; to try mimicking the spirit-absorbing ability BMW gourds have. Otherwise I wouldn't've bothered; esp. since I also made the Gourds functional drinks (see my gif here) with the Arsil Beverage Mod (which is REQUIRED).

Pot as UNI EP Juice Keg

I'm experimenting with more plumbing, and made a Pedestal Sink.

FLAWS: There are no faucet pieces, so the animation is kinda goofy-looking, but oh well.

There are 3 different Skull Flags:

SN EP Teleporter/TARDIS/LLAMA (under Transportation)

Basegame Teleporter (under Debug)

Outdoor Lamp

The Dragon Stair Risers (Left | Right) are just Decor, and best believe I was giddy AF to have these in my game. 😍

Bowl of Eyes as Pets EP Dog Bowl (Bottomless) (under Debug) includes 3 different eye color variations (Red, Blue, Mixed).

I forgot to take proper pics of the Carapace Hat ACC, oops.

The Skull Topknot ACC, Unisex, under Earrings, etc etc I'm so tired.

The Long Scroll as Decor & Yuxi Scroll Decor only include the 6 chapter mural scrolls. (I'll do the Ruyi Scroll separately, later.)

The Cave of Wonders Tiger as Decor (High Poly) can be used on 2-tile stairs without routing issues.

FLAWS: I wanted the Tongue to be a functional WA EP Rubble Pile for Tombs, so it could actually obstruct entrance unless sims demolished it, but nothing I did made it work. In the end I decided to make it a §108 Moneybag that REQUIRES Ani's Moneybag Script. It's LiveDragEnabled, so you can just drag it into your sims' inventory if they're too stupid to autonomously pick up the "money bag" to collect the cash themselves. 🤦

I was really stumped on what else I could do with the Tongue that made sense. If anyone has any bright ideas, please feel free, cuz I got nuthin! 🤷

And that's that--for now! 😈

Enjoy!
