Track Design Patterns

Track Design Patterns

This mod is a revival of the Transport Fever mod of the same name, with Compact Tunnel Entry, paraelle tracks and automatic signalling removed, due to the implementation of better mods.

This mod gives you possibility to create kinds of track patterns precisely with parameters, which are more like real life engineering work.
It gives you hand to control separately the following parameters:
Slope
Size of switch
Walls at sides of tracks, including type, height, distance to track, and height variation to avoid Zig-Zags when you want to make a transition of walls of different height
Automatically calculated terrain which is impossible to archive by normal constructions

Three patterns are found in Asset menu category “track_design_patterns”
1. Switch
2. Crossover
3. Track ladders

Brief introduction to patterns
1. Switch
This pattern creates simple a switch, by controlling the size represented by cotangent of the switch frog. You can use it repeatedly to quickly construction a diverging section of a depot or station.
This pattern also permits a flat junction quickly, by multiplying number of tracks
You can choose the form of turn out of switches by changing “compactness” option between “Complete” and others.
You can add walls to the sides of switches, which is much easier than adding it manually with assets.

2. Crossover
Two crossovers are supported, the X crossover and N crossover, to get K crossover, please construct two N crossover in opposition.
You have the option to construct some parallel N crossovers by choosing 1/2 or 3/4 N crossovers.
You can change the distance between two tracks to fit into different parts of the stations.

3. Track ladders
This pattern is destined to quickly create diverging parts of a depot or something similar.
You can change the distance between exit tracks to fit into different parts of the stations.
You can add walls to the sides of switches, which is much easier than adding them manually with assets.
