Description:

Metro/Tram/Bus – Hub #01


Overview. You´ll need about 17 x 14 tiles to plop the station.

Prolog

Hello all together !

After a long time, I did go back to my "beginings" and put a station together.
Honestly … while doing this, I remembered it the "hard way", why I stopped
creating stations …
But, in the end and as you can see, I finished the project.

Initially this station wasn´t planned…. I just wanted to update my old tram/bus hub.
But that wasn´t possible. I had so many crashes of the asset editor, that I decided to
upload a new version of that station.

I also improved the new version … there is a metro station underneath the tram tracks.
The old version does not have that.

Issues/Walkarrounds/Suggestions

There are some issues …

  • Do Not move the station via "Move it" ! (That might break all pedestrian connections)
  • Do not move the road at the back of the staiton to close to the station, because
    (I´ve already put the little wall on to the bus stop, to prevent you from doing that)
    that might also break pedestrian connections and will result in weird walking behavior.
  • Only the 3 of 4 bus stops at the front are working. (I left the last one out, because this also caused walking issues)
  • You probaly need the M.T.S.E. – Mod in order to use the bus stop under the roof. It´s woking, but hard to
    select. (see pictures below, plus link to the Mod)
  • If you delete the station (by accident or whatever) you have to delete all metro stops first, before
    rebuilding it. If you don´t do this, that also might breake pathfinding. (One issue might be, that the cims leave
    the metro and jump upwards on to the tram platforms, instead of walking out of the station.
  • You could encounter the "distance to short" – issue. That one is game related … An anarchy mod might
    help, but if it doesnt, then there is nothing that I could do.

Dependencies

You don´t want to use the metro station ? Absolutley no problem … Just and rename the building
and all the entrances and windows will be closed ! It then looks like as if the station is out of
service. See below:

*You still have to subscribe to the metro tracks … as jc_jeff found out, the station won´t load
without the track.

Renaming the station results in the "closing" of all "open" metro parts. Eg. Roof windows, station
entrances etc.

Everyting is closed.



Your Cims might still use the underground passage. That´s nothing that can be changed
