Waypoints – Train Fever /forums/topic/waypoints-2/feed/ Wed, 30 Apr 2025 12:47:05 +0000 https://bbpress.org/?v=2.6.13 en-US /forums/topic/waypoints-2/#post-8796 <![CDATA[Waypoints]]> /forums/topic/waypoints-2/#post-8796 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 00:19:01 +0000 douglas I find myself needing to delete a crossing every single time I need a train to go to depot or out of depot.

I have 4 tracks and I connect them. The problem is that 1 line insists on using the same track as another line, even that there is an exclusive track for it. So I need to remove the connection between the tracks. This is very annoying.

A waypoint would solve this problem, because I don’t see how that can be solved with signals.

Until we get more sophisticated routing, I’ve ended up always making completely separate lines. They may use parallel tracks at the station, but there’s no crossover(s), they each have their own engine house, etc.

Alternatively, manual selection of route could be made, by specifying direction at each junction; Just like Transport Giant

I am just experimenting now on easy mode to try figure out everything this game can NOT do , and figure out the little it CAN do. Before I try build my empire on a large map. But I uspect I need 64GB main memory and 1TB swap to complete  a large map.

Either this game have a memory leak or an enormous apetite for memory. When I quit TF after a few hours play it takes 1 minute for my gaming rig to recover the swap space used and drag all other desktop programs in again. Jeezuz.

1) The way it suppose to be.

2) Showing the tracks. As you can see a train cannot access depot from the last track.

3) I made a connection.

4) Now the lines merge.

5) Leaving one entire track without use.

Instead of making the connection there (the one you made for the depot access) i would just branch from the depot over the existing rail and connect it on the other side.
