there must be some sort of interval when the number refreshes its set to month currently by +1/-1 atm… maybe change it to +1/-1 every 2-3 days.
Is there a method to getting city to grow? all my inner lines just go into red rarely going up to 50-60% line usage.. should I avoid linking to leisure/jobs and just have 1 line from some houses to train station?
Good Mod, but the issue is every time you adjust one line it crushes the other lines, and it does not help that industry only adjusts by 1 unit of cargo a month… you need to adjust the cargo modifier per month to up to 5 or even 10 units.
So I was able to make trains or busses to turn a profit by using them on large roads for max speed between cities. By year 2086 cities get large near 800 and traffic jams are every where…. I have stations on the outside of cities and will try to run trains again once I have about 100 mil in cash again as it can easily drain your cash reserve.
So far on hard if you start in 1950 run cargo you can make tons of money.
Nnever run trains unless you can afford the crazy financial loss as they will not yield profit unless city is 1000 + population with 50% coverage.
You should try starting the game in 1950 on hard, I’m at 2158 or so year and just found a way to get close to break even point… basically tons of cargo which is profitable and easy to make and try to build 1 3 town line at a time… since you need 3 trains or so to get the time down, lots of buses to feed the line your looking at a healthy 3mil profit before passenger trains to break even.
I started my trains with 20 mil surplus and it drained me to -2mil before the towns started to balance things out…. granted no passenger line is making money… 🙂
the problem with full load is that it can kill the time the system thinks it takes for the truck to make the loop in a line… which is sad.
I am playing on hard mode, and testing out cargo.
I see the following:
Small stations: up to 18 cargo with 2 lanes.
Large stations up to 14 cargo with 4 lanes. <- Feels wrong when small station hold more than large…
I think it needs to be fixed and the stations need to be made larger for better pathing where 3 trucks wont cause everything to grind to a halt.
Small stations should hold up to 20 Cargo with larger ones 30-40 Cargo…
Have yet to find a good way to deal with passengers on hard mode and 1950 start :).
Anyone know if there will be a new cargo station? Atm I just stick to 1 station per line to avoid the bugs of stuck trucks…
It appears hard difficulty 1950 you need to make sure feeding lines are under 160 seconds avg for busses its not easy to make a buck!!! In Fact busses dont make a buck lol as you need atleast busses and can only do a single station, im experimenting with few ideas, but hard is really hard!
