The population should increase, and that's fair.īut! not like this random explosions, this is not fair. I don't even view what happens before that as the game any more - it's prep.Īs you described, we (me and the developer) think the explosion was a bug. I'm pretty good at the game, as my screenshots here and the video of me taking 1st overall in St Petersburg will confirm, but the passenger spike is definitely oppressive when it hits.
Every map does it, it just happens later than most people reach on most of them. But when it spikes so hard that it feels unfair, that's when it's an issue. I get that the stress on the system needs to increase once the stations max out in order to keep the game challenging, and there's nothing wrong with having some maps top out sooner than others. Hong Kong spikes super early, generally around 1000 pax, before you have enough trains to adequately deal with it. Especially when there aren't any triangles in the bottom half of the map, so there's no good way to de-load the system. For instance Osaka has a lot of stations, and when all 60ish of them get 10 passengers in 10 seconds, it's overwhelming. Thanks in advance! It basically comes down to the population boost after maxing out zoom and stations being too big for some maps. The quicker after the spike happens, the better, and screen shots of the stats spikes would help too.

If you get this again, could you send us the logs via ( How to get a log found here: ). Originally posted by naviverse:This is something we've heard about a couple of times (and yay for having stats to make it easier to see!) It's on our list to take a look at in the near future. If memory serves, that's how I did my 2800 run. The optimal Osaka strategy is probably an interstate line, with Shinsaken on the outside. Shinsaken only provide a benefit when they're travelling on long stretches of track without stations. The last 500 passengers took longer than the previous 2000 in real world time.įun fact: I didn't play this seed optimally. Brown and red traded trains a few times, so I could move the carriage Shinsaken around, and after that it's all about being attentive and patient. If I could do it with a train that was already on that line, I did that. I ran a ghost line with 3 trains, and every few seconds I'd pause and see which stations needed attention. Once the spike hits, it's all about intense micromanagement. And even though I didn't need them early, I claimed two interchanges early, and put them on my junction points for the lines feeding special stations. When I did get a carriage (I only got the one, I think), it went on a Shinsaken, to take advantage of its speed. I made sure I always had at least 1 extra tunnel, favouring pathing over carriage capacity. I got two Shinsaken, and the rest locomotives for capacity. So it's definitely possible to survive the population spike in Osaka, at least for a week or so. I also got no triangles worth speaking of in the entire south half of the map (you got that too on yours). My start was very north, so my square is not central and is surrounded on 3 sides by water. Here are some progress shots:Īnd just shy of 2500, it all came crashing down:
