Additional Public Transit

[andreharv 1,197]

I fixed the crossovers yesterday

[europe.au 13]

I've finally tracked down MOM! (no puns intended). But in all seriousness, great work so far man (hoping to try it ASAP). Can't wait to see what other features you'll add!

[Distanced 114]

@andreharv Oh, lol. I didn't know!

I've had the most peculiar issue for the last week or two. The Metro Depot will only spawn 10  trains, so I end up with 2 lines with 4 trains and 1 line with 2 train (I have about 14 lines in total). I've watched the depot as the simulation runs, and it seems to spawn trains which immediately disappear. This issue persists after relocating the depot or deleting the depot and building a new one.

I was able to temporarily fix this before by setting the depot for each line as a metro station, but that option is no longer available for some reason (possibly related to the Train Converter Mod?).

I'm going to try deleting and rebuilding the entire metro network (!) when I get off work tonight. In the meantime, has anyone else experienced this?

I have experienced the issue where trains would spawn and then immediately disappear. Couldn't exactly pin what was causing it though, might very well have been reaching the "limit" of 10 trains

[Distanced 114]

Perhaps your budget is too low. Try raising your Metro budget.

[j4lambert 22]

Another way to increase the amount of trains from the "limit" of 10 trains is to use the Improved Public Transport mod together with the MoM mod. Is Improved Public Transport going to be compatible with the MoM mod?!

It already is. It works fine for me.

[countkrzysztof 160]

Thanks for your feedback, everyone! Bumping up the budget to 150% didn't change anything, and I spent quite some time rebuilding the entire network only to face the same issue. I finally got things back to normal by both disabling the IPT vehicle unbunching (forgot to mention I've been using IPT) for each line and moving the depot to the opposite side of town. I'm not quite sure which of those actions actually fixed the problem so I'll do a bit more testing to try and isolate the solution.

One question about the One-Way Train Tracks mod. OP said that it could be used for island platform train station and split platform station. Well, the mod has been released for quite some time now but I've yet to see any train station mod like the ones mentioned above?

As far as my experience goes:

1. Not so practical, using 1 two way track on a station is more practical than using 1 one way tracks

2. It's also easier to use and connect default train tracks, so some people prefer to sick def tracks

3. Game is not smart. You can find trains on one way tracks, while there's another on the end of the station. They don't enter from two way to one way AFTER the leave of the previous train. So, when they meet on the same track, they get stuck, this is especially annoying if you're using one two way tracks. The solution would be to make 2 one way stations for each direction but that's not how it works in real life. 

4. Island platforms would be a way to go, but they are more common for LRT solutions or metro. I've made 2 stations for MOM which are essentially island platforms, using one way tracks.

There are at least two stations using island platforms, but only one of them are released. Also, it's not possible to create elevated or underground island platform stations yet, which is kinda sad because multi-level stations are one of the places where island platforms makes a lot of sense.

Excuse me if I'm being newbie-ish but I can't seem to find how I can place MOM Station tracks in the asset editor. Any help?

Thanks! <3

I hit 100k population in my MOM test city today, so I thought I'd share a couple shots.

 

[Distanced 114]

@countkrzysztof Looks awesome! What stations are those?

[europe.au 13]

@countkrzysztofI'm pretty sure it's no longer a "test" city xD

Well I can tell you the first picture is using my Rosedale Station. I can also see my Toronto Dominion Centre Towers and my Toronto Exchange Tower in the background.

[countkrzysztof 160]

@TransitAuthority The first is Rosedale Station by JSF-1. The second is the Feindbild Street NYC Elevated Station by MrMaison, using BloodyPenguin's Train & Train Stations Converter.

@JSF-1 Your stations and buildings are great! I think they fit well with the city as a whole.

Thanks for your kind words, folks

Hi:

Your  Rosedale Station really looks so good, but it seems cims will not use the station in my side... 

I can't see any cims leave the metro and go out from the station...also no one go into the station for taking the metro

are there something I should pay attention when use the Rosedale Station?

[Delta2k5 311]

As my test city reached 365k residents I might have to take some pics of that also, especially as I also use  MrMaisons stations now

BTW. as some of you are using my trains - could you give some feedback on those? Especially thoughts about the lit up windows would be nice - I tried to keep them more realistic by dimming them to a rather low level compared to most other assets and I'm about to change that on my other vehicles too, but still I'm unsure.

oh...It's me...

I just can say I think it is beautiful...I am not know much about the model creation, I just can say I love it :~

 

[andreharv 1,197]

Hi everybody!  Glad to see the enthusiasm is still high and testing is still happening :).  @BloodyPenguin and I have been working feverishly to make sure that everything is good for first release which will come soon and I know it will come soon because we are running out of things to do/fix for first release so the only thing to do after that is release.  I was going to release another alpha but we are going to focus on releasing the modwithin a week.  I hate teasing yall (but I secretly do doe) I want to show off another pet project that got tossed my way.  Essentially, all tracks on your subways will have rendered underground platforms.  A lot to iron out but what you see is what I know (except for the green floors and ceilings...that was fixed lol...It also just rained in the picture and since it rains vegetable oil in this game, the stairs look greasy)...also proof I fixed the crisscross station track missing...thing.  

This is a curved station I subbed off the workshop.  The otherwise invisible curved track will be made into this.

[Distanced 114]

Great! I was just about to complain about the crossovers.

[j4lambert 22]

Are all underground metro stations going to be extended to support six-car metro trains?

There's a GUI in the game for that already. When placing a metro station, a GUI pops up with two sliders. One of these sliders can be used to sink the station tracks further underground (because MOM wants the tracks to be at -9 meters or lower), and the other slider controls the platform length and can make it longer than the default. Simply set these sliders like you want and then plop the station!

 

Also, @andreharv: have sunken tracks been implemented? I tried plopping @boformer's sunken concrete station using @BloodyPenguin's metro converter, but it got plopped with normal rails instead of metro track. Is this a bug on the mod's end or have I probably just messed up the config file?

[andreharv 1,197]

Great question.  They probably won't be ready in time for release but we will bump it up in the priorities since that station is one of a kind and I want more like it to be made

[.Del 53]

Do underground metro in other parts of the world really have crossovers? From where I am, we don't.

[Distanced 114]

@Dejected Angel From what I know, no. But in C:S it's needed because many people create lines that don't loop around.
