This is a major problem, it it’s not spotted immediately on a double track main line the whole service is trashed resulting in a massive financial loss.

Can this be addressed in the next fix, please? It’s bugs like this that spoil the game.

They got crowd-funded don’t forget. This money allowed them to trash build the game whilst ripping off the funders.

Money in advance makes humans lazy.

The same problem exists for upgrading road sizes or adding tram tracks: The buses instantly relocate and generally return to the bus station they began from. The game is a mess and they now have spent all of the crowd-funders money in the Pub, I hope they toasted the funders as they enjoyed the beer.

I only come here when this game has infuriated me so much, so I never start off in a calm and collected matter.

I think the board and your team at the company understands that I have an extremely low opinion of both the company and the product you are still selling. I’ve yet to do a calm and collected review of this game, and it would remain better for you if I didn’t. The game is a basketcase, nothing is balanced and nothing really works.

And there are free games, that solve this tasks better in every way.

The developers didn´t even tried to understand the mechanics of such games and created features that doesn´t make sense at all like the spreading funktion of vehicles.

In my opinion their has never been a good Railway game since Railroad Tycoon 2 (not 3). I simply wish to find a decent working 3D version of what is arguably the best railway game ever made. This game wins in some minor aspects but manages epic fails on the most important aspects, such as building track and roads. (or the the almost impossible task of doing either), along with capacity of vehicles versus the expanding cities, combined with fares that on hard level don’t really pay the laughable maintenance costs of any railway or road vehicle.

Had the actual costs on hard level been accurate, then the UK would never have bothered to invent the Railway back in the 1660’s, as the first Colliery wooden rails would have remained with a single pony/horse carrying two packs instead.

If you look for a game with modern 3D graphic you could have a problem, but I´m satisfied to play Simutrans, not a railway but transportation game. But the developers wanted to simulate passengers and reduced capacities, that´s the beginning of this failure.

The biggest error in Railroad Tycoon 2 was you could transport passengers from a town to anywhere. One of the German games I used to own tried to fix this problem, but set 10 destinations  for each town of specific passengers going to others. It overwhelmed you. It is a problem transport games face. This game wins on this aspect with the 20 minute rule. It is the closest I’ve seen any game since the A-Train to dealing with a realistic world.

You mentioned Simutrans, but then dismissed it due to capacity balance fails, like this game. I must confess, I’ve not brought it, would you recommend buying it?

I’m away now for probably a month and will look forward to your reply when I return on that game. I just want a game I can sit down to, enjoy and chill out too. As I get older I grow more more intolerant of games that make you work, after a real actual hard days/months work, companies that produce games that make you work miss the instant money us older gamers always have to buy their product.

I predict that eventually all games aimed at young people will appear on Mobile phones, all games for the older generation will be on Console or PC only. Anyway, I’ve rambled on this, but you helped me to solidify my thoughts on what the developers could do with this game, as opposed to what they are currently doing: Nothing.

I paid £6.50 or something for the game, it is worth far more, but only once they begin to re-code it. A second version at £30 is feasible if they simply fix the obvious problems.

Sorry, my last sentence was about Train Fever again.

Simutrans is an open source game.

You don´t have to buy it, you can download for free. Graphics are retro style and many people don´t like it, because of this.

You need the main program, the game engine and a pak, that includes, graphics, vehicles and many economical parameters. You can alter many of them and create your own game, if you´re experienced.

There are especcially two other things, that are better in this game.

You can create very big maps, where you need huge capacities, so the game is a consistent fight, to transport everything, that´s similar to OTTD.

The other point is, that passengers have destination, where they want to go. Apart from their bigger number that´s better solved as in Train Fever, where you can “train” your passengers to go, where you want them to go.

In Simutrans you have to build huge networks for people to reach every location, that´s the most fascination element for many people to play this game.

Cargo has destinations, too, because factories have contracts.

You will take a time to get familiar with the game, but the interface is much better than Train fever.

For the rest of the discussion, different people want different things. I really enjoy Train Fever even with it’s flaw, and i can’t get myself into Simutrans.
