The signals are not working correctly. What can I do?

The signals are working correctly, but can sometimes be confusing because they don't work like traffic lights on the street.

The game uses a "Signalling Block System", that is quite close to what real trains are using in real life (See this wikipedia article)

The basic principle is that the railroad network is broken up into a series of sections or "blocks". Only one train may occupy a block at a time

You can create blocks by adding signals.

But be aware that:
- All tracks connected to the same side of a signal are part of the same block
- Tracks that are not connected by a switch, but are touching or crossing are part of the same block

Also upgrade your game to the latest version. The Signal tool has been improved to better show the blocks.

How do I transport electricity in the "Coal as a Cucumber" campaign?

You don't have to transport electricity. Just deliver coal to the Power Station. If the Power Station has enough coal, it will start to generate electricity that will be available to the city.

When I upgrade a station, trains are not using the new track. What can I do?

Existing routes are not modified when you upgrade a station.

If you want your route to use the new station platform:

1. Open the train route
2. Open the Path Selector tool (Its the clipboard icon)
3. Tap "Recalculate routes"

When I create a route from/to a multi-platforms station, how I can choose the second track?

When you create a route, you can only select a station. The router will choose the best track for you. If multiple tracks are possible, the router will create a multi-path route. The train will choose the best path dynamically depending on the traffic.

If you want to disable one or more paths of your route, you can use the Path Selector tool (It's the Clipboard icon). More info here

How can I build industries in the Sandbox?

For the time being, it's not possible. Industries are generated randomly by the game. We may add the possibility to create your own industries in a future update.

Where is the track doubling tool? How can I make double tracks?

In the game main screen, tap on the "Track" icon on the right, to start creating a track. Then on the right of the screen, you can choose between "Single Track", "Double Track", or "Bridge"

My long trains are stuck in a station. What can I do?

Usually, long train requires long platform stations. You can create a long platform station, by creating a regular station, and then extending the station platforms with the track tool.

Place the station signals accordingly: Make sure that when a long train is loading at a station, the train tail is not beyond the signal, or else the train tail will block the switching part of the station.

How can I create a Switching Signal? How is it different from a regular signal?

A switching signal is automatically created by the game when you create a route with multiple possible paths. The signal will be placed where the train has to make a decision between two paths.

A train will stop at a regular signal when the following block is occupied.

A train will stop at a switching signal, when a decision is not possible (because all the path destinations are currently busy)

My game keeps crashing / freezing. What can I do?

1. Make sure to upgrade your game to the latest version.
2. Avoid running too many background apps, like music players, while playing the game.
3. Make sure Android is updated to the latest version.

We work very hard to make the game as stable as possible, but it is not possible to test every possible devices/OS configurations (There are more than 10000 different models of phones and tablets running Android today, and more than 20 different OS versions)

If you have problem with your game, you can submit a "Bug Report" directly from the game. Please include as much details as possible.
