Subway stations at all levels

[urtz]

Hi another time,

Can we make a big subway station with stations at level 1, 2 and 3 of the underground?(line 1 at level 1, line 2 at level 2... but at same place)
Thats would be fine for avoid rails and trains collapse...

I am seeing how to make it, but don´t know how can i make it.

You cant place more than 1 station at 1 place, but you can do different levels close to each other, even that the tracks go under each other. (Sorry for bad explanation but hopefully u got the point)

What a shit... i have some lines at same station and they collapse, i have 5 trains waiting for arrive to the station... that´s would great we could make it.
Is there any designer of the game around here????lolol

So there was no need to make multiple Threads about it

Each station has that square lobby area just underground (lower than the street and above the platforms). This lobby can't be in the same place as another station's lobby. And the tracks/platforms can't go through another station's staircases.

Thanks Dozer for better explanation than what I could pull off

Also, I think it's a very bad idea to have more than one metro line using one platform. When two of my metro lines meet, I have two stations - one platform for each line in each direction!

It's very easy to experiment with what is possible with stations - just start a new game, get all the loans from the bank, and play around in some empty area - that's how I got the screenshots I just posted!

Indeed, this is why multiple platforms per station would be super nice.

Ideally, we could build platforms, staircases, lobbies, and surface entrances all separately, for building complicated multi-line stations. In London, there's several stations which have a large passenger lobby underneath a road junction (probably because that's the only large area without building foundations in it!), with entrances at each corner of the junction, and escalators leading to the platforms for each line. Like this: http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/kemptonslim/ltmonu.jpg In this picture, Monument station (on the right) is simple, it has a lobby with one entrance from the street (like the CiM stations), and access to platforms on both sides of the green District Line. And also a passenger tunnel to Bank station. Bank station has two lobbies, many entrances to the street, eight platform faces, and many footways, escalators, stairs and lifts linking them all together. But the tracks appear to be only on three levels

excuse me, i put my suggestion in the other post because i tought it would be a more directly suggestion writing it there.

I think devs actively follow the forum and I certainly hope that people give as many suggestions as they can so they have plenty of ideas how to improve game experience. If something is not possible to do now, maybe they do it later or for next game

If the devs actually follow the forums, then I guess this is a suggestion that's quite important. Connecting one lobby to another, building underground passageways for pedestrians and suchlike would enable the player to build realistic and functional underground stations. This might be a thing that's not so important to the casual gamer, but it caters to the players who are model railway fans at heart and are striving to realise the perfect network. Incidently, these are the ones who invest in additional DLC and addons, so it might even pay off
Of course, this approach can be taken too far, as for example games like Airport Tycoon did, it forced you to place every bench and every toilet yourself. Micromanagement can be tedious if done wrong, but anyone who doesn't want to modify his station could simply take the default layout.
