How to signal a junction

2024-11-01T18:15:16Z

EmeraldClaws: Add category tag

This is a guide to safely signal junctions in the game.

== Simple Junctions ==
There are two very basic rules that you can follow, that will make signalling your junction very easy and protect these from train crashes:
# Place a path signal at the entrance of a junction, in front of the branch (exceptions will follow)
# Place a balise at the exit of a junction

The order is WP

===1. Branching line===
If you have a junction that looks the following: 
'''>>picture to be added<<''' 

You want to first place the path signals at the entrances of the junction: (place them a little bit in front of the branching point, as trains have an additional 30m hitbox in front of them) 
'''>>picture to be added<<''' 

Then you want to place the balises at the exits of the junction: (you can place the balise directly after the junction, but it would be better to place it at least one train length after the junction) 
'''>>picture to be added<<''' 
Special case: a single tracked branch line

Station

EmeraldClaws: Add new views visible within the station window

{{Concepts sidebar}}
A station is a set of one or more [[platform]]s whose footprints overlap on each other (in particular, a single platform is a valid station too). Stations are the main destination kind available for picking as a [[line]] [[stop]] (the other being [[waypoint]]s). [[Pax]] [[Spawn rate|spawn]] at stations, travelling from their [[Origin|origin station]] to a [[Destination|destination station]].

There are no limits on how many platforms can be combined into an station, including overlapping them at any [[layer]] or aligned in any orientation.

== Passengers ==

Passengers (called [[Pax]] in-game) have an origin station and a destination station, on their way between these two stations pax can transfer in stations, but also do Out-of-Station Interchanges (walking).

'''Out-of-Station Interchanges (OSI) '''
The max radius at which an OSI is possible is 2.3km. There are two ways to achieve such a link between two stations: Either by using the auto walk transfer range of the station or by using the create walk link function [not assigned] in the station building tool. The transfer between two stations via walking takes time, because the pax are walking at a speed of 1m/s. While the pax are walking they appear in the station hall of their destination (of the OSI) with a timer.

== Station properties ==
[[File:Station properties 1.14.png|thumb|Station properties]]
The station properties window is used in the [[Track|Tracks menu]] to edit the station's properties, including:
*The station name
*The station label display settings
*The station coverage area (affecting the reach of the station, and hence the [[spawn rate]] of passengers)
*The auto walk transfer range (this is the range in which the station will automatically create a walking link between stations)
*The platforms pax capacity (a slider for the capacity of the station from 50 pax to 100,000 pax)
*The checkbox to allow Transfer pax overflow into the Station Hall
The station properties window also has a locator button (next to the "Done" button) to jump to the location of the station.

=== Station names ===
There are two options for the station name:
*Automatic naming: Is enabled by default and has to be disabled manually. There is a button with which you can switch between multiple auto-generated names.
*Manual naming: Is activated by unchecking the box for automatic naming under the name. You can then enter your own name.

==== Using station names as tags ====
As of [[Version 1.5]], NIMBY rails does not support station tags. An advanced strategy is to use the station name as a kind of station tag system, which can help in understanding certain menus that do not support tagged listings, as well as the [[Accounting export]]. For example, starting the station name with the stations [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomenclature_of_Territorial_Units_for_Statistics|NUTS] regional code can make it easier to do regional aggregations on the accounting export.

== Station window ==
[[File:Station_window.png|400px|thumb|right|Station window]]
=== Passengers ===
Pax can be listed by
*Show all - Shows all pax at the station
*Group by destination - Group by the final destination of the journey
*Group by origin - Group by the originating station
*Group by waited line stop - Group by the next train pax intend to board
*Group by next stop - Group by the next stop in the pax route

There are two additional filters that allow for route planning
*Show best current trip - Shows the fastest route between the current and selected station.
*Show dominating trips - Shows the fastest route between the current and selected station at any given time.

When opening the route planning filters the list of destination stations is taken from the current pax's destinations. To view a route to a specific station, open that stations' info window and it will appear in the list.

=== Hall ===
Show pax who cannot currently fit on the platforms. This includes pax who are making Out-of-Station interchanges.

=== Ridership ===

=== Timetable ===
Show booked arrivals and departures by platform and line.

=== Accounting ===
Stations have their own [[Accounting]] window, showing the accounting events that occurred at this station.

== Stations as depots ==
[[Depot|Depots]] are technically just stations that are used for a particular purpose, storing trains for longer periods of time. Depots do not require any kind of special building to function.
*The station coverage area can be set to zero. This prevents pax from spawning or choosing the depot as a destination.
*The station label display settings can be made less prominent.

List of trains

EmeraldClaws: Add 'Based On' column from this discussion on Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1134710/discussions/0/4990570993573904193/

This is a '''list of trains''' that can be found by default in NIMBY Rails. The train types shown are based on the real-world equivalents of the trains, but players are not restricted to these.

==List==
List is updated as of [[Version 1.5|Version 1.5.41]]
