Railway Empire - Tips and Tricks - How to Guide General Tips and Tricks for playing

[@Thompsongast]

I didnt know about managing the platforms, that’s awesome! I started playing this game yesterday and it’s great fun

[@BadgerBadgerBadgerBadger]

My dude, this video has opened my eyes. Many many thanks.

[@SymeonPhronema]

I'm not completely new to the game, but learned things from this video! Thank you for making it, and great job with it !

[@steelheartgames]

This video clears up all the major problems ive had with this game. Now i can get back to enjoying a railway epic instead of pulling my hair out not understanding how to avoid jam ups. Thanks for the, keep it up.

[@kilianmummert2397]

I have played this Game for more than a year and I‘m still learning new stuff about it. Sadly the Railway Empire Tutorials only explain the very basics. I learned a lot from KZbin, I would suggest watching Adekyn, he is really good at the game and you could learn a lot from him.

[@MichaelCWBell]

Think it was my 1st game tutorial from a NZer; I cracked up. Cheers bro.

0:50 You do the right thing by manually laying the track; but there was no need to discard it: The best way is always to connect A and B stations first (let it give you a crazy expensive straight path), and then drag inbetween points to fine-tune it exactly the same way. Hold shift + scroll up and down changes elevation for a point. Your version works, too (starting bit by bit from A), but the other method shows you the final amount from the beginning, and you can track your cost as you tweak and optimize it.

[@budlikycz2445]

GaborBartal and how does it matter if you do it your way or his way in the video when you get the same result... and since he is playing without money discarding is no problem :-)

[@paganaye]

@@budlikycz2445 it is the same ultimately, but it is faster to do. This is the same with signals, there is no need to get the bulldozer, Hold Ctrl down and it will just remove the signal. Same result ultimately but faster again.

[@timbaker6192]

I've had years of experience with trains.. unfortunately riding on them doesn't count....! certainly not when it comes to playing this epic game..... Thanks very much Anaro for your lucid, understandable, concise but informative video... I now feel empowered!

[@rescervatillos]

Thanks so much. You just saved my mental health.

[@ChaoticNeutralMatt]

I let it build the most direct path, then start fiddling with it to make it cheaper. Planing points in earthworks or bridgy areas tends to cheapen it out.

[@garbodude4365]

Pretty excited to get this for the Switch

[@SymeonPhronema]

It's a great little game! That's really cool that they have it for the Switch! :)

[@PrimeNPC]

The way point mechanic revolutionised my network

[@antoineboutet3395]

you sound like Brüno lol. great tutorial, extremely helpful

[@s.m.2523]

My question would be: Is there a way to build double tracks that go in the same direction so if there's two train going the same way, the second take the empty tracks rather than both goign on the same ? Or do I have to necessarilly fiddle with waypoints on different tracks to make it happen ?

[@budlikycz2445]

Best guide on the youtube :-) thanks!

[@gregwolking]

Did you guys not scroll down far enough to see the "Station/Large Station with Signaling" buildings? True, they only come in 2- and 4-track versions and are significantly longer and somewhat more expensive than the non--signaled versions, but they're a godsend They will automatically route incoming trains to an empty platform (if there is one) and outgoing trains to the appropriate track, no matter from which side the trains enter or leave. Makes it a helluva lot easier to create an entirely double-tracked "backbone" for your network. It's far better than the bottleneck-prone micro-management-heavy mess that you've started in this video. IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT use stations with signaling n the first episode of story until *after* you complete the "passing section" bit. The game bugs out and counts the number of signals included in the stations themselves, then it bugs out and wants you to build the next thing (signal or supply tower -- I forget which) all the way up at the top left corner of the map, where it's impossible to build anything due to the terrain. The tutorial gets stuck at that point so you can't complete it

[@Bradiant]

Oh my god years later... this is my damn problem right here. I don’t know how you figured this out but it just saved my life.

[@gregwolking]

@@Bradiant Glad I could help. Thanks for letting me know.

[@RogerLopez]

wait, hold up, you can buy the businesses on a town? This changes how i play i need to come back

[@HunterPhenomMakoy]

Nice vid guvna!

[@badejong]

Great video. Thanks for your explanation.

[@RangerRiccardo]

Great video mate 👍 I learned a lot.

[@EliotJohnson]

Thanks for the tips! I just started playing this game. Do you only need one signal per side?

[@donaldmartin3057]

Genuinely good tips. Almost every other video I've watched on this game was utter shit.

[@peterroth4173]

Drink a shot everytime he says "right?!"

[@Mad5cout]

Do you have a video that more clearly explains how you are routing your tracks and trains? All that stuff you mention around the 7:30-9:00 mark was way too fast.

[@WashableTowel]

Very helpfull! Thanks

[@WiccaRobin]

You didn't have to destroy that signal just click on it holding the left mouse button will turn it around then if you need to change its setting you click on it again without using the mouse.. um maybe i have those backwards but it still works.. What they need to do is design the game without all the micromanagement you shouldn't have to go in and change every train because you set one to a different track but the game changes all the trains to the track you just selected is totally wrong and very dumb.. And you have to do it every time you change one.. pain in the backside it is..

[@Mr8234]

i saw another guy do a slimier set up with the station and cross points as well on a 4 point system

[@deadmausish]

Ctrl click for multiple signals at once.

[@TheGamerFru]

I'm playing this one xbox one, I realize that's pure pain compared to keyboard/mouse for this one lol

[@BillyQuincy]

Is it even possible to push entire trains with the locomotives or are they always pulling the cars for every train?

[@harmlesscarrot1797]

Bam!

[@halftrackmind5838]

I want this game.but i hear that it only last 20 in game years. Does it? Or will it continue? Or is that a false rumor like the port roya 3? Any one can answer my question i will appreciate that. Thanks

[@lylehumphreys7258]

half track mind correct, it does only last 20 years, you can chose the era to start in

[@halftrackmind5838]

The Heroic Hump. Thanks

[@rankyrhoads2415]

half track mind they've now added an update which lets you play freemode over a 100 year period with randomly selected tasks.

[@halftrackmind5838]

@@rankyrhoads2415 o thanks bro.cant believe I just got your post sorry way late. Would of never got it if I did not go back to this. But thanks I got it. I'm on the 1932 everything is finished. But delivery of alcoholic beverage to New York. It's not counting them. It said I delivered them all. But then it counted 8 and that's it. I have all the up dates im on ps 4. Other than being on console. Did I make any other mistakes? What did i do wrong? Why? Am I screwed by a bug in the game? Sorry to bug you bro over this bug. But I.d.k what to do.

[@Circiaify]

Can 1 track share 2 tracks at a station? And if they can, do you need to setup signals?

[@HyperVegitoDBZ]

You put an X before the station. Connect 1st track to the 2nd and in reverse.

[@Circiaify]

@@HyperVegitoDBZ I also found you needed to change track the trains going into, it wont auto choose. Thanks!

[@HyperVegitoDBZ]

@@Circiaify Indeed.

[@osamabahaa766]

what about the warehouse how to use them ..?!

[@gregwolking]

Place them well away from any city, then route your trains to carry products (or raw materials) to and from them as needed. Consider a warehouse station as a "hub" This is most useful when your source and demand stations are so far apart that you trains don't get serviced often enough that they're constantly slowing or breaking down due to "Bad condition". Since warehouses can have a maintenance shack, this can be more efficient than building a dedicated "Maintenance station" to avoid that situation.

[@WiseSilverWolf]

I keep having trouble figuring out how to make the signals work

[@paganaye]

You can play in normal mode to start with. Signals are not required then, the train will cross each other happily on a single rail. If you want to play in realistic mode, best is to train yourself in the sandbox first and actively try to reproduce problems you have in the normal game.

[@east_coast_gamer4874]

What do you do for 'No Suitable Freight'?

[@Nigel1Powers]

It means that the city you deliver with that train, doesnt have a need for that goods. So they wont buy it. Look if the city needs it before building a route there.

[@WiccaRobin]

or buy that building if there is a free space and you have the cash.. then it will be suitable.

[@allglad]

Anyone know how to send trains on the same track at the same time¿. Playing scenario I see the computer do it with one train following the other. I think it’s happening in this recording too.

[@KrissUnicycle]

You can do that if you choose to use Railway network "Easy" instead of "Realistic" before you start the map :)

[@rattyflood]

How do you clone trains on PS4?

[@NostalgiaPlaysPS1]

But doesn't the elevation f*ck your train speed?

[@pulllings]

bro said i had reach

[@nickfunkmaster]

This might make me a laughing stock, but I can't rotate my train stations! :( How do you do it? Nothing that I try works

[@Noycey64]

If I remember correctly, I'm sure you hold down Shift and rotate your mouse wheel, if you aren't on PC and don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel then I don't know.

[@nickfunkmaster]

@@Noycey64 Thanks :) When I wrote that I was trying to do it without a mouse [facepalm!]

[@sana4life]

To help any new players to the game like me; you can use the keyboard using WASD keys for placement and QE keys for rotation.

[@nickfunkmaster]

@@sana4life This is a huge help - THANK YOU!!!

[@TinfoilHatWearer]

dude... how was laying the track manually giving you a fraction of the price..? I went back and looked at how much u were spending each time u placed a bit of track... it came out to like 400K... where the default woulda cost 200k... So...... ????

[@Leg3nd-27]

I don't understand how you got 400K? Can you explain?

[@JasonEllingsworth]

@@Leg3nd-27 The dummy was thinking every node in the track placed was a price he paid, instead of it showing a running total of how much he is going to pay. I hope he doesn't have a job where he is required to do any real thinking...might end up hurting himself or someone else.
