And speaking of curvature, the curve radius limits the max speed of a track segment, so watch out if intend to run fast trains on them (or even slow ones!). Other conflicts are due to the geometry of the track themselves, for example making a too short or too long track, or a track with a too small radius curve. To quickly change the track kind while you are building, use the number keys between 1 and 4. If you want to do such a construction you could switch it to a viaduct: In the previous screenshot it is not being allowed to cross over a road because they met at a too acute angle, and the game will refuse to insert an underpass.

You can create more independent tracks by clicking on empty map areas, or continue your existing track by clicking on the '+' handles at the end of it to directly create new linked track.Īs you create and link tracks, you will notice some tracks become red and a conflict is noted in the blueprint window.ĭifferent kinds of tracks have different tradeoffs. Move the mouse away to make the track longer, then left click again to end the track. To create a new track, select the Append track tool. The track mode has detailed contextual help for all tools and modifiers, displayed in the center bottom of the screen. From top to bottom: viaduct, ground, tram and tunnel. There are different kinds of tracks, and you can switch between them in the left toolbar, under the depot tool button. From top to bottom: Move, delete and edit tracks Append tracks or create new ones Create new track branches Create new station platforms and Create new depots. The tracks mode has 5 tools, which can be selected in the vertical tracks mode toolbar. Then select the Tracks mode in the top left toolbar. Move around to find a city or area you want to start build around. You can move around the map using the controls described in the Basic controls sections with any mode or tool selected. We will make use of the info mode later on.

After you start a game, the map is displayed, with the info mode selected by default.
