Train purchase

Post by Trampek0011 »

I'm currently trying to buy a train engine, but it doesn't show up in the "New vehicle" window in the depot. I have barely started to play the game yesterday and I'm confused. Also I would really appreciate if someone could explain me how to improve town relations.

Probably start date is too early.
Also plant trees to pay for land works.

No. My start date was 2021 so I should have trains, but once I sold my first train, then all other ones just disappeared from the vehicle purchase menu. I can only buy wagons at this point

With the default train set, at that point you only have electric trains and / or maglevs available. You need an electrified and / or maglev depot to buy those.

Where do I find those? Or how can I get those?

First thing to check, is your depot currently the right type of depot to build the train? (ie: electric trains can't be built in depots without cables, you can't build a maglev train in a monorail depot, etc), if you're running with the vehicles expire setting, then the vehicle may have expired, and no longer available for sale. If so, and you want them back, untick that setting, then go to the console (usually the ` button), and type in 'resetengines', and that should fix it.
