Train in depos should have lower queue priority

Post by axet »

Hello!

When train number is high and some stations is over loaded trans start to stuck on each other.

Possible solution would be set trains priority stands in depo to the latest to go

try an "overflow depot" (there are different methods to achieve this with available signalling tools)

the problem with that is that there isn't really a "queue" as such. when a signal turns green, trains go in a "random" order that may depend on their train number or their power/weight ratio (dedicing how fast they can start up).

first collecting all trains that wait on the same signal and then assigning a priority to decide which one may go first is a difficult task, which may heavily impact performance on large maps
