    I've heard a lot about baking here, or light baking. I've no idea what it is!

    So, in layman's terms please, what is baking (in relation to TSW, not bread ;))?

    Mods, feel free to move if I'm in the wrong part of the forum :)

    That is actually quite helpful hyperlord . We have all been referring to it in discussions about sub surface stations and DTG’s reluctance to do routes which include them but now we have the fuller picture. Of course, one would have thought the UE experts on staff or an available to DTG as consultants could overcome the complexity. It’s a far cry though from MSTS where if you wanted something to show up underground, you simply gave the face(s) of the objective a “half bright” property.

    Thanks for the info.
    Of course I know about search engines, but wanted to ask some experts here instead. Otherwise what's the point of a forum? ;):cool:

    To be fair to the OP Google Gemini also suggests eating one small rock a day is healthy so it's better to ask here than ask an AI that uses multiple conflicting sources :)

    You're only supposed to bake it lightly ;)

    Which would bake me and everything else in the room. The 4080 is unbearable in the summer. They can keep the 5090.
