This station can typically handle a throughput of 1500 tons/month using 4-5 tile SH25 hauled trains. I call the following designs "best" as I consider them an ideal balance between high throughput, small footprint and simplicity of construction.Īll station designs operate correctly when using one-way path signals, meaning no need to switch between signal types when building or create signals trains will pass from the back. Most of the relevant science is in Can You Put A Signal After A Junction? StationsĬompact designs with short signal gaps tend to have the highest throughput. There is no need to leave gaps after a junction, or in front of a station - most of the time this will harm throughput with no other benefit. In almost all situations, keeping a consistent signal gap is the most important concern. This does not increase CPU usage over other types of signal - "path signals use more CPU" is a myth! The most important rule of signalling for high throughput is to keep a consistent signal gap. Signallingįor most networks, it is fine to use path signals throughout. So I've collected a little summary of things we've discovered. And while it's fun testing theories, scrolling through videos trying to find designs gets old fast. There's quite a bit of OpenTTD Science and as is the nature of such things, later videos will often improve upon designs featured in earlier ones.
