started a new game, medium..
wanted to be sure that all lines are done right.. took me 1,5h in for the first city, then i rage quite…
“I sometimes just remove the left-side stops to prevent this. But this is not always desirable if you have a 2nd line running the other way passing the same stop.”
my problem with that solution is that i may have 4 or more tramlines going trough that grouped stop, so ungrouping does hurt aswell..
“The turning trams may cause gridlocks and drop the freq. of the line dramatically.”
thats how i found out about that issue.. had a line in years, that i switched due to age, so i let all new trams go at once.. then at a stop, the trams did the 180 degrees turn, and after the 4 tram i had a complet lock..
maybe i woulndt even have noticed it, if it would not have been my major route to the trainstop, so after a while, all trams from that city where stuck there.. took me a good while to just unlock anything, and figure out at all, what the reason was..
since then, i do random checks of routes, and if i find a screwed one, ill check all routes of that city, till i cant find any loops/ turns anymore… takes ages, and happens every now and then again.
Another problem with (tram) routes that i have: ( havent tested with busses, and only with the small on street stations)
if i put up my incity lines with high tram density, it happens that the lines at certain stations do a loop by using parallel streets.
i then have to remove a few stations, reasign them, then the loop is gone. BUT then the loop may happen somewhere else on the track… so i have to check the same track over and over!
additionally it happens that a tram that should run station a-b-c, turns after station b for 180 degrees, runs in the station b, then turns again after station b for 180 degrees to run then to station c.
same game as with loops, remove the station, re-add it, problem solved.
both of this issues can happen on the same route, moving forth and back while i fix one end..
adding a new track or changing an existing one does mess up other existing tracks again.. so i spend hours trying to straight out my lines..
its pure pain.
please add a button to hardnail lines on the roads as they are now, for ever!
having that “end of moth” lag too.
but mine is a bit longer, more like a minute or so…
also scrolling is slow, if i realy want to scroll or work, i have to pause the game.
Medium sized map, allmost all citys connected per train, every city has atleast 1 industry connected, high tram use..
in numbers: 196 trucks, 524 trams, 24 trains.
any way to make the game use multi-core? since i (and most others i guess) these days have multicore systems.
