Railroad crossing?

[BBQ Mac n Cheese]

Ok, I may be dumb but where is the railroad crossings (Rail crossing road). Is it a research option or just a mechanic I haven't figured out. Like no one has created a mod yet for it either. Games like Locomotion and OpenTTD had them, but this game doesn't. Seems a bit of an oversight.

Again I may just be missing something, but I looked on Google and found nothing thus far.

The road and rail systems will be getting a rework, which will add level crossings.

[refreshfr]

Yup, no railroad crossing yet!
It sure is a bummer right now. And it can't be easily added in the current system which is why there's no mod doing it.

Like Dany said, a huge rework of rails and roads is coming which will include crossings and new things too.

any eta when that update will arrive, roughly? Like this summer, or next year?

[Voxel Tycoon]

Roughly, this year. We'll keep the community posted while progressing closer to its release.

The year has passed... and even by a few months... A transport game, where there are no level crossings or the possibility of passing through a bridge or tunnel... SERIOUSLY? I should make half the map in streets and the other half in railroad... IT HAS NO SENSE!!! What did you think when you released it?
Are you at least working on the release that will patch this?

It's a small Dev team, these things take time. There is a way to incorporate the rail system into the ground and deliver as such, while letting the streets flawlessly go over them.

Its a good way to do it differently until crossings are implemented.

Please, give us the crossings, please!

Never going to happen. They say they've been working on this for 1 year, yet there are no demos, no previews, no discussions not even a dev blog to showcase at least 1 feature that will be coming in their "complete rework update".

This game had potential but for the last year there has been no new content updates at all. I check up on it a few months to see if they did anything new and all I see every patch is memory leak fixes... How many times can you say that you fixed memory leaks...

I’ve lost all my hopes to see rail crossing in this game….so sad, could be a very nice game but there is a lot of heavy lacks that every “train game” sholuld have. This is like I made a zoo game without animals…

Glad to find this thread more than a year ago!!! I guess I’ll wait when (if) this game will ever be finished.

Wow, this is... I just returned to the game and was having a blast - until I realized I couldn't do this very simple thing. No crossings turns the game into some kind of infinite line nesting puzzle game, and that's not very fun to me.

Things may not turn out the way you planned them to, and in more ways than just one.
Choice of game engine may be one, your country being involved in a "special operation" might be another one, and unexpected difficulties in replacing a basic (if not the basic) game mechanic might be yet another one. Not saying any one of these is what's happening here, but any one could, and more besides.

To my imaginary eye, these are just two young guys in their basement, about the right age for military draft, with a basic idea of "let's make a video game" and a toy game engine that makes things look simple. And then a war starts, with all its implications, and people keep moaning about lack of game updates...
Yup, I know, "sad story bro", but even if they just took the money and let that be that, the game has been complete enough for me to get my money's worth out of it. And if they ever get to implement the new road and rail infrastructure, so much the better.
To the devs: I hope you're doing fine, and it'll be done... when it's done.

You can make a tunnel for a crossing as a work around, it is very expensive however.

[BentoFox]

I hope this 'rail and road rework' will still come... Having it teased for 2 years reminds me of Scrap Mechanic's "we're working on that big update" which has yet to be played by anyone :D
