The game is somewhat lacking in the documentation/explanation department, so some questions popped up. I hope somebody knows some answers.
1. Passenger Mortality. I have not yet managed to get a train to drive between two stations without at least 3-4 passengers getting "lost", either from age or exhaustion (the game does not specify why they vanish). What do I need to do to prevent that? More waypoints? Adding a layover Station?
2. What exactly do waypoints do?
3. What are the "best" constructs to allow trains to switch between paralell tracks? What about the depot connection?
I was hoping trains could just "jump" tracks in a station (as they can just turn around on the same track). But it appears I have to make those parts (inlcuding signal systems) myself.
4. What exaclty are the 4 Industry Chains? How long are they? When do some of them (like the oil one) start?
5. Where are finished products transported towards? I get that I need to transport the raw material to processing, but where does it go from there?
6. What are the rules for proper track/street crossings, underpasses and overpasses? How much room to i have to plan in for the slopes at both ends? At what angle can street and tracks meet?
7. How much weight (in form of wagons) can I add to a locomotive before it will slow down on a plain? What is the proper weight/KW ratio?
