It introduces some new special tracks, which will serve as platforms for cargo or passengers.<\/p>\n<p>Instructions:<\/p>\n<p>Lay platforms alongside normal tracks, then place a platform marker and a track marker where you want the platform and the track to end. Repeat at the other end.<br \/>\nWAIT A MOMENT and let the computer think.<br \/>\nNow you have built a terminal, trains will stop between your track markers.<br \/>\nAdd more platforms, tracks and markers, a popup will ask you if you want to join your new terminal to the other ones. You can have up to 12 terminals in one station.<\/p>\n<p>Now click your station to open the configuration menu and add some connections.<br \/>\n\u2013 Adjacent platforms are connected together automatically. If you added extra platforms or space between, you will have to connect them by hand instead: use a suitable street type and <shift>. Avoid this with tunnels and bridges, keep it simple.<br \/>\n\u2013 Every set of adjacent ground platforms requires street access or an underpass. This is like the stock stations.<br \/>\n\u2013 Every set of adjacent bridge platforms requires a lift or an underpass.<br \/>\n\u2013 Every bridge level requires a lift.<br \/>\n\u2013 Every set of adjacent underground platforms requires stairs to go up.<br \/>\n\u2013 Every underground level requires a subway entrance, or a ground platform with an underpass, or a bridge platform with a lift, or a higher underground level with stairs down.<br \/>\n\u2013 If you have multiple underground levels, you can add stairs on the higher levels, to go down to the lower levels.<\/p>\n<p>You can share a platform between two terminals, for example the first 100 metres with terminal 1 and the rest with terminal 2. If you do that, connect the platform ends by hand with a suitable street type and <shift>.<br \/>\nIf you have a group of adjacent platforms and tracks, try to place your underpasses (or stairs if you are in a tunnel) opposite to one another.<\/p>\n<p>When you bulldoze a terminal, the mod will try to rebuild the tracks as they were before, to make changes easy: bulldoze a terminal, change what you need, then rebuild it with the markers.<br \/>\nWhen you bulldoze the station, everything will be bulldozed.<\/p>\n<p>Tips:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Platforms are tracks and they can also suffer from micro splits, very difficult to see.<br \/>\n\u2013 To visualise the lanes and the splits, start the game in debug mode and press <altgr> + <l>.<br \/>\n\u2013 To work underground, use <numpad 4>.<br \/>\n\u2013 Platforms only carry passengers or cargo if they are part of a terminal.<br \/>\n\u2013 2.5 m platforms do not agree with bridges and tunnels. My &#8220;no railing&#8221; bridges help a bit, tunnels can\u2019t be helped.<br \/>\n\u2013 Very thin paths help with certain setups: those are in my street fine-tuning mod.<br \/>\n\u2013 Sound effects for stations are in my dedicated mod.<br \/>\n\u2013 Sound effects for trains are in my dedicated mod.<br \/>\n\u2013 Extra ground textures are in my terrain tweak mod.<br \/>\n\u2013 If you want large buildings, use assets. There are mods for those.<br \/>\n\u2013 This mod adds extra bridges to help with elevated stations.<\/p>\n<p>Known issues:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Module placement is rather free, the player is allowed to do some unrealistic things. Proper checks would be too expensive.<br \/>\n\u2013 Station naming does not work properly.<br \/>\n\u2013 Upgrading tracks works meh.<br \/>\n\u2013 2.5 m platforms do not agree with bridges and tunnels. Ask UG to make trackDistance work.<br \/>\n\u2013 The bigger your station is, the longer it takes to add or remove a terminal. It can take over a minute. Just wait.<\/p>\n<p>Authors: lollus<\/p>\n<p><center>    <a href=\"\/getlink?url=68747470733a2f2f6d6f6473626173652e636f6d2f3175683235337274677477622f323336333439333931365f467265657374796c655f747261696e5f73746174696f6e2e7a69702e68746d6c\" \r\n       target=\"_blank\"\r\n       style=\"            display: inline-flex;            align-items: center;            gap: 10px;            padding: 12px 24px;            border-radius: 6px;            background: var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            color: #fff;            text-decoration: none;            font-weight: 600;            font-size: 16px;            border: 2px solid var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00);            transition: all 0.3s ease;            box-shadow: 0 4px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);       \"\r\n       onmouseover=\"this.style.background='#333'; this.style.borderColor='#333'; this.style.transform='translateY(-2px)';\"\r\n       onmouseout=\"this.style.background='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.borderColor='var(--nqt-color-primary, #ff6a00)'; this.style.transform='translateY(0)';\"\r\n    >\r\n        <i class=\"fa-solid fa-download\"><\/i>\r\n        <span>DOWNLOAD MODS<\/span>\r\n    <\/a>\r\n    <\/center><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A freestyle train station.
