Interesting use of the Roosendaal station piece to create that nice looking station.

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
Thank you, couldn't really find a nice island station building and these have no sidewalk around so fitted pretty well.

hahahaha, I sadly have a pretty big backlog of stations that still need a flipped view.jor[D]1 wrote:* a need for geldermalsn, Den Dolder or Vlaardingen station, hint hint *
But I'm happy you pointed me to that geldermalsen station, it's a nice station that I didn't know of.
That will be added to my list for sure. the other two I'll try to fit in between the larger drawings. But it will be a while before I have them done.

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
Haven't had much time to work on this game. But got some work done recently.
A new mainline has been opened and timetabled including a branch line. It's very nice to see the trains merge, and provide (cross platform) interchanges between trains.
Also major work has been done to complete construction another mainline straight through center of the map.
This line ends at a untill now unserved big city. Because this is the only big town in the west and the geography of the map makes all future planned lines more or less end here it required a big terminus station.
There will be at least 4 mainlines terminating directly at the station and a yet unknown number of branches, so heavy traffic and a timetabling nightmare is awaiting. The designs of the station should allow trains form the various lines to arrive and leave simultaneous, the most difficult puzzle always is to plan them conflict free to and from the sidings at the begin and end of the day.
To create parking sports for this large fleet a new engineering works has been constructed near the new station. It gives room to park 20 full length trains (10 tiles) overnight, which probably will be insufficient. Space has been reserved nearby to create extra sidings for shorter trains of needed.
Now the horrible task to get everything in excel and create a timetable can start.

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
Well that's engineering works.
Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
A quick question - is there a simple way to calculate the number of tiles between stations or are you manually counting them?jor[D]1 wrote:Haven't had much time to work on this game. But got some work done recently.

Really interested in this

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
I manually count the tiles using the track laying tools.
I'm still in a slow pace working on getting the timetable right for this new line. Which is quite complicated as it will have express trains which continue onto other lines.
A rough base timetable for the expresses is made, but the stopping services need to be weaved through it.

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
The '?' tool does give x/y coordinates, maybe that is of use for the longer straight parts (along the main axes) of the line.
Eg first tile at (x1, y) and last tile at (x2, y) you have 'abs(x2 - x1) + 1' tiles
If you make corners always in the same way then even track with corners may be countable from the first and last position, but that highly depends on the shape of the corner.

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
Whoa! I like the screenshots.. but what I'm really excited for is that spreadsheet! Thanks for offering it, I plan on making use of it..
I'm trying to figure out, on the Settings page, what are the "Tiles" and "Speed" fields used for? I'm an Excel newb but I don't seem to see them referenced from any other sheet.. only the "Ticks Per Minute" value seems to be in use. Are these just for debugging/checking calculations, or am I missing something?

Re: jor[D]1's screenshots
Didn't had much time last weeks, and didn't check here, but to answer our question.
You are correct, the tick/minute is important for the timetables and should be equal to your setting in game.
The two other inputs (speed and Tiles) are just there for debugging and checking purpose.
If you fill in those you will see the time required to travel the tiles at that speed in the bottom of the cell.
I left this in there because it's handy to determine the time required to travel from sidings into stations. Also I use it as a quick reference on how the calculation is done to convert form game units to real units.
