I'm playing OpenTTD and for my train networks I usually use two lanes, one in each direction. This works fine most of the time but larger networks with more trains overload easily, especially when combining freight and passengers. To solve this, I have two ideas:
Proposal A would increase the number of lanes in each direction. During limited testing, trying to upgrade single lane network segments, I found one main drawback - it was difficult to upgrade sections since tons of junctions and station entrances had to be rebuilt.
Proposal B, which I am now testing, would split the network into smaller regions. The idea is that I can retain my design on a smaller scale to avoid overloading. The main drawback I can think of is that the network will be inefficient, and it will just look shit because there aren't enough trains!
New ideas or further development of ideas A and B will be great!
does anyone even play openttd here?
