i can't add more than 1 train to my mini railway

[buckshot4449]

the game will not let me do more than one train on either the iron horse or connie express

You have to make multiple stations just as long as your first train station then giving you the option to add more trains.

wait a sec, there's two things going on here.

one is the length of the train, as in how many cars a train can pull.

the other is the number of trains.

The station length only affects the first thing, how many cars. As to the number of trains, you ought to be able to add as many as you like, never mind the station length or how many stations.

Alby is correct you can have as many trains as you want on just one station. Naturally the whole thing works better if you have multiple stations though. Don't forget the ride has to be closed before you can change cars and trains.

it physically wont let me do more than one though. i have 2 stations and each one can fit a train with 7 cars. i've even tried shortening it to 3 cars and still the number of trains option is grayed out

Maybe if you could present a screen-shot of what you're seeing?

The only limit I see is I can't add more trains than there is room on the track.

idk how to post a screenshot like you did unca.alby

That link seems to go to a game profile rather than a screen shot. If you click to view your own profile there should be a screenshots button on the right hand side. Hopefully you can upload a shot there.

Yah, it's way more complicated than it needs to be. If anybody knows of a simpler way to do this, I think we'd all be obliged if you'd share it with us.

1. Open your game (Planet Coaster)
2. Press F12 key
3. Exit the game
4. You should be on the Game Preview Screen now, with your image on it
5. Click the image, and look for the "Share" button (you may need to scroll)
6. Click the "Share" button
7. Add a caption, set to "Public", click "Upload"
8. Now ... go to the "View" menu at the very TOP of the Steam page
9. Select "Screenshots" from the drop-down
11. You'll see your images. On the bottom of that page, click "View Online Library"
12. In the Online Library, click on your image, which will expand it for viewing.
13. On expanded image, the image URL will be on the top frame. Click that to open yet another frame, where it's easier to capture the URL
14. Use your mouse to select the URL, COPY (Ctrl-C) You might be able to RIGHT-CLICK on this page then select "Copy Page URL". Make sure you're on the second opening of the image, otherwise "Copy Page URL" will copy the URL to your entire Online Library
15. Go to the Post Messages section
16. Compose a new message, and PASTE (Ctrl-V) the URL into the message
17. Post

You'll know you did it right because it starts with "https://" then
includes "steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/details/" then ends with "?id=999999999" where the "9"'s are all digits. Then after you post, you'll see a preview of your image in the posting.

I've heard of other people wit this issue. One should be able to change the number of trains as long as the ride is either closed or testing. If this cannot be done the best advise is to either save it as a blueprint and try removing the old and replacing it with the blueprint or simply starting over.

I ran into the same issue just now with the people mover ride. Somehow the track glitched, where some parts of the track became disconnected from the ride for some unknown reason. I noticed this when I selected the ride. Even though I selected the ride, some parts would not display the outline you would normally see when doing so. After removing and replacing the parts that were not highlighted, the ride functioned as expected again. Hopefully this helps some people running into this issue.

I was battling with the problem of not being able to add more than one train.
I tried many times to fix including making sure the ride was closed .. all to no avail.
I solved it eventually and I believe the reason was that I had started with a station as part of a building blueprint.
I had to delete the whole track and the station element from the blueprint and start over by laying a new station and adding the track from there.
Once I did that, the functions all worked and I was able to add another 3 trains.
I hope that helps.
