Vehicle Spacing not working correctly? – Train Fever /forums/topic/vehicle-spacing-not-working-correctly/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:16:36 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/vehicle-spacing-not-working-correctly/#post-5229 <![CDATA[Vehicle Spacing not working correctly?]]> /forums/topic/vehicle-spacing-not-working-correctly/#post-5229 Sat, 06 Sep 2014 17:10:17 +0000 RickD Not sure if this is how the game is designed but I don’t think my vehicles are spaced correctly. Line 3 shown has 2 stations and 2 trains, should the trains not be at apposite ends of the lines to give equal spacing. This isn’t my only line that works like this, I have another one that has 3 stations and 4 trains but they don’t seem to be spaced evenly. Can provide a savegame if necessary

I don’t know if this was supposed to be like that but it would definitely be great if the same system that spaces trams and buses was applied to trains.

At least I’ve never seen any in my 40 hours of playing time. You need to space them manually. It takes a lot of time and trial and error. I wish they were spaced automatically, alas, nope.

Basically what you do is after your first station you build a signal the length away from that station you want the trains to be separated.

However, the “average wait time” seems to be what freight uses to determine whether to use the line or not, so even though the delivery is not evenly spaced, the customers behave as if it was.

To achieve spacing for trains you need to use the stations and signals.

Normally, without any signals, the stations build one area, which trains can reserve for themselves and the tracks in between them build one area each for them.

So to achieve spacing in a line with 2 trains and 2 stations, only 2 signals need to be added:

1                       Signal
Station 1  _________________________    Station 2
_______/_________________________\_________
1                                                         Signal

With this setup, 2 trains should space out automatically, since the first train won’t leave the station, until the
second one has arrived at the second station

It is also very unrealistic, not to mention that it gets worse once you got more lines covering one piece of the track.
