Thats a nice train! I will try it when I got the money to blow on it. Probably in 1930 or something. This is my most advanced train line so far, on my first save/game tho.
Currently I am in the middle of making tram routes inside all of the towns and bus between them all and connect local goods using trucks, its a fair bit of work as I am using a large map 😀 I will not try any train on my current save until after I’m done with getting all towns to start growing. I think ill play with trains once i have 100’s of millions and steady income.
Maybe since you have played much and have experience you might consider answer my other topic as i am kind of stuck. I just cant figure it out.
Trams and buses DO partial unloads all the time from my experience. One passenger might want to get off at the 2nd or 3rd stop along the way, and not the first one after he came on the tram/bus. I have yet to test this with  cargo and trains tho.
As I said I have just thought of this, not yet tested it,, but to have one train for each town who at max will need 50 goods per year seem pointless.
Also another Question: HOW do you upgrade a 3 way T conjunction on a main road, that cannot be deleted? I have tried to make an alternative route but the origonal road always seem to be “main” and cannot be upgraded or deleted..

Id say trains are not necessary for anything until you got 1000+ ppl in a few cities and link them up with passenger train.
Depends on if you want a cool looking train who barely makes money just cause it looks great or if you wanna min/max and make billions. The trains are great at keeping it hard to make a profit so it can be great if you like the challenge.
I Think its fun to figure out how to make trains viable at delivering goods. I have a few plans, I wanna try a track loop through 6-7 towns in a circle and deliver some goods in all of them. Have yet to test this out tho. pickup goods->town1->town2->town3,,, and then return and refill after the last town.. I hope it works, if not it will be fun building it anyways 😀
I get no freeze what so ever monthly, even on the fastest setting. only less than a sec lagg each year, when it saves.. :S
I even run my graphics card on idle clock (using afterburner)
How many vehicles did you have when this problem started? ive only gotten about 200 trucks and 20 trains on my largest save, so idk,, I wanna try and get to the same amont as you did synchronos.
how many lines, trucks and trains did you have? 1000’s? I wanna try to get to the same amount and see what happens.
If you zoom in, and set the gamespeed on normal, The trains do need 5-10 min irl to drive between stations. I haven’t tested to do big long routes across map yet, but I would imagine it must be almost a decade in-game time to travel across the map..
Maybe the scale of the models of trains and tracks should just be smaller, if everything on the map was half the size the map would look bigger, and trains would not seem to be driving in walking pace when it says its going in 100km/h 😀
It autosaves the game each year, and as when you manually save and just like other games, the game needs to be paused during saving. This pause isnt too much of a problem for me at least, its less then a sec. It’s the same for Euro truck simulator 2, and there it can cause you to crash your truck :S
I only got a historical dinosaur of a amd fx8350 so i guess anyone with a modern computer would not notice such a large spike/pause.
It seems to me that this game updates quite often. I really like that they still try and make the game better. I bet if they stopped updating it and left it in current state for too long people would complain about that too 😀
