Passenger unloading – Train Fever /forums/topic/passenger-unloading/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:47:36 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/passenger-unloading/#post-10581 <![CDATA[Passenger unloading]]> /forums/topic/passenger-unloading/#post-10581 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 20:31:31 +0000 anpenna1990 I find that towards the latter stages of the game, my trains are taking too long to load/unload at stations. The unloading time should really be set to a certain number of seconds depending on the type of coach (i.e. more doors per coach = quicker unloading). Does anyone have any thoughts if its possible to mod?

Unloading and loading can take up more then 60 seconds. The frequency of the line is dropping because of that.

Secondly, the load and unload time are presumably not in the equation of the travel time simulator. The 20-minute rule is not taking in account all loading and unloading times lost during all stops between start and arrival. People jump off the train because they did not arrive in time at their destination. Or, they decided to take the wrong (slow) route because they did not see the time lost during all stops on the slow route.

in the netherlands passengers wait on the platforms till all passengers who want out have gotten out and then they start boarding the train.


@matrix @RickD when at 1 “door A” no passengers come out anymore at “door A” passengers can start entering the train while at the same time at “door B” still passengers come out

Im not saying that every door should be tracked, just that the loading times should be sped up a bit, possibly depending on how many doors a car has, to reflect this

You’d only need to change the number when at the depot, so it’s not like it’d add any more maths to the situation, after all… you’d just need to include checks at either end to prevent weirdness.

I think we’d all be happy with a simplified, abstract system – after all, passengers getting off will, if the doors are fully filled, move to the next car if theirs are not, so it does make sense.
