Great game!

But to be honest, I’m getting a little tired of the never-ending upgrade troubles. I’m playing on a large map with large interconnected networks, and upgrades are getting very cumbersome. I hope the entirety of upgrade procedures will be re-looked at, and streamlined for smoother working and nicer experience:

  • upgrading tracks to high speed (no more delete and replace)
  • electrifying tracks (especially the “track busy” problem)
  • upgrading stations (in stead of destroying them, and hopeful being able to rebuild the bigger one)
  • upgrade of roads to bigger/wider (with less restrictive problems like too narrow,…)
  • upgrade of roads with working bus lanes (did never got them to work properly)
  • upgrade of roads with tram track (catenary is missing… just eye candy but hey!)
  • upgrade of bridges (eg wooden to stone or metal, now not yet possible, and is just eye candy)
  • upgrade of bus and tram stations (and have them work correctly, especially when using “wait until full”)
  • upgrade of signals (semaphores to day light signals, and have the show the aspect,… is just eye candy)
  • upgrade of vehicles (the procedure to semi-auto send them to depot and replace them)
  • visual upgrade of industry when production increases or era changes (this is just eye candy)
  • have the dirt road available until the end of game (no forced upgrade, asphalted country road are added)

I enjoy the game a lot, and hope developers will continue their effort to make this game even better.

Then both these stations total of 10 tracks just merge at both ends into a 2 or 4 track main-line depending on needs.
