Did Urban Games forgot about cross-tracks?

Hi, sorry for bad english. I think the game is not finished yet. I’m still waiting to build cross tracks: . And sincerily, this final update has disappointed me. Because, y’know, I love the game and I really enjoy playing, but one of the things that keep me playing is the cool stuff they add for every update.

I also am unhappy that they did not implement some cross tracks, and I think now they will never do it (since it was the final patch). The only solution I found is I often cross tracks with brides (but what the hell with that collision error!!!!) or tunnels… I tried with some exchanges with signals but I sometimes get deadblocks (I must improve with signals 🙁 )

Can you post a pic of that method? I know how to make bridges over a track but i didn’t understand what do you mean with signals and collission and that.

Have you tried this alternative?

Or this other one (a roundabout, it occupies more space)?

To make a decent looking cross-track using bridges, first lower the track and terrain on the section you want to cross, then build the bridge on top of that lowered section. It works great !

Thanks @isodoro @traian for the suggestions.

I tried a similar method than the first one suggested by isidoro but my trains got stuck at signals (I must still learn how to place signals correctly)… maybe that was the problem, but is it correct not to place signals just as isidoro did ? Shouldn’t signals be placed on all four tracks entering the junction ?

Is it possilbe to lower a track without demolishing the track itself ? I find it annoying that when you change the track layout or even just electrify the track all the passengers (or cargo) just disappear from stations and trains and that takes a few years to recover.

No, it’s not possible to lower tracks without first demolishing them.

Urban games promised that trains would not swap direction when tracks are modified in the latest patch. Does this include not loosing all their passengers (or cargo) as well? Has anyone tested this?

@Norfolk I played yesterday and I think the trains retained their passengers when I electrified the track. However all cargo/passengers waiting at the station were lost, but at least the industry did not fall to 1 immediately but continued with its normal output.

Still needing gameplay updates. And lowering the terrain or making artifical hills? Come on, we have to put tracks, remove them, put more, remove and that. I don’t think it’s very realistic. We need a good terrain tool. The game’s terraim tools are crap
