About realism, have you ever met someone who took the TGV for only 5 minutes. Â Probably only the ones without a ticket kicked out at the next station. (Just kidding).
High speed trains are esspecially for long disctance, long time travels. To me it would be more realistic, and more important more fun, to make choices about how many regional trains against how many high speed trains, based on the amounts of people traveling.
And yes, travel patterns would be part of this 🙂 (Actually the other way around, amount of travel time is part of a pattern)
I loved the game @ first. But the collision-monster, the upgrade-monster and the waitin-for-a-free-track-monster are doing their work pretty good, turning this game in to a boring and sometimes annoying experience. The upgrades only looks like commercial decision and not a monster-fight. Personally I am agreeing with most people here and also disappointed.
Well, sounds like a plan but … most of the problems happens because of the collision-monster. Solving some  the root cause is imho better then  extra tools.
Two important things are missing; collisions is happening too much in strange situations: e.g. When I lay a line with a bridge, when I double this line, all of a sudden the second line collides for no opvious reasons. Same with tunnels, etc. This happens al lot. The only thing is then break all down and start all over again.
Secondly: I miss good feedback. The game is not telling what the cause is it collides with (a lot with roads etc). Things which will improve all of this, imho:
1) Good feedback (show in red colliding problems), may beeven automatic repairs (e.g terain-repairs like you see in other games against extra costs)
2) Double track laying at once (or even 3, 4, whatver is needed)
3) More options, like double switches, double junctions)
4)) Possibilty of laying roads over rails and not forced to do it the other way around
5) And then at last … planning mode (like there is now) but then for multiple laying without a commit) would of course also help.
@4 – Foundhttp://www.train-fever.net/filebase/index.php/Entry/5-Train-Fever-Beta-Mod-Manager-BETA/. Beta Mod manager. Looks promising.
Anyone any news on the others?
I have my doubts about the root cause of the first bug: demolishing houses. In my game it happens a lot, even when I do not do any building or demolishing. Mayby the AI is demolishing houses on it own? But must more likely, it has another root cause.
What I have seen from video’s is the largest station is 5 tracks 320m, if I remeber correctly. You can also group stations. Grouping three of those will great an enormous station. maybe this will be an option?. Although I do not know if you can group two or three train stations or only train with bus stations.
