Too many stations

wozzar · Post by **wozzar** » 22 Jul 2004 10:10

Has anyone ever worked out how to get around the problem of too many stations. I want to run more trains. How ever TTD wont allow anymore stations to be built.

there is limit for a town stations names ... try changing some station names where you want to built ... if that not helps then it means you hit 255 TTD station limit, and it cannot be fixed (you should try merging some stations to bigger ones)

I have hit the limit. I wonder if Josef is still working on this.

if it is not at http://www.ttdpatch.net/src/todonow.txt then it is impossible

I've never hit the limit. The only way that I can think of reaching it is
a.) play with a LOT of AI competitors, which I don't think is fun because they make such a horrible mess of the map
b.) use 6 stations clustered around an industry where 1 big one will do. Remember that the Patch now lets you make really big stations, with up to 15 tracks, which ought to be enough for any reasonable need.

I also hit the limit because the new checkpoint graphics by MB allowed me to build realistic checkpoints, and I built many...
But this limit seems to be non-fixable like the vehicle-limits.

If you build your route with care, you don't have to use too many checkpoints. Also you can use depots as checkpoints, I don't think they count.

depot also has got own count (but they don't count as station)

Yeah, but I wanted to build realistic tracks. But the trains didn't drive the optimized path. And I don't like every train going through a depot, that makes them slow and looks ugly.

Here's how I do it...

1) Make a 1x1 Station for a waypoint
2) order all your trains to go to it non-stop or whatever your orders are
3) make a bus depot next to it
3 1/2) Delete the train part and fill back in with a track

Now the trains will go to that stop normally and since it stilll exists right next to it, it works out fine. At least for me...?

Or c.) you try to service the cities as good as possible with Road vehicles, then you reach the limit very fast. That´s why I always reach the limit in my games, without using waypoints.

Don't try connect cities that are near to each other with train stations, use buses as feeder service..

Hehe, I also built metros (or suburb trains or S-Bahn or however you would like to call them).

Busses are sooooo sloooow and by far can't carry as many passengers as trains.

@ConductorBob:
Hmm, nice bug! I will see if I find some waypoints next to busstops.
