No train on my tracks

[Maude]

Hi !
I have build a train track for my citizens to move around. It says there are no vehicule available.. that i need to put a train depot.. I can't seem to find it..
I currently have one rail yard and 2 stations..

Thank you for your help

If you have a timetable you need the train depot to be connected to all the stations via rails. If you build a loop you just need to connect the train depot (which could be anywhere on the map) with this loop in every direction. In the Tutorial it states that this is mandatory to even get the trains going. For outside connections too. You need a train depot AND a timetable where you choose the outside connection (at the map border) as a destination.

Where can I find the train depot ? I can't seem to find it in the train table... :(

You build it in the Train Building Menu. Inside the timetable you dont need to do anything. The train depot will automatically deploy your trains.

If you have the "Services" Budget for "Transport" set to 50% it won't deploy trains, too.

I have cargo trains but they are not exporting, just departuring 0 loads on it. Cargo Station Depo is almost full. Trucks are exporting without issue but cargo trains doesn't work. Do you have any idea how can i fix it? Ty.

I'm having the same issue. Export does not seem to work. I have a port and a freigh station, both with outside connections. They only import goods, not exporting. Anyone can help?

I already set 2 different outside connections and created loops. Cargo trains are importing but not exporting :/

That's what I have done, the train spawns, goes its ways but never takes any freight to export. It's literally empty when departing. And the storage gets bigger and bigger. Is it bugged?

Strange, i see that i have some surplus for some goods and they export it. Maybe those things are to expensive for the train export or the connection (which there is a virtual city) is not needing those goods.

Trucks are exporting to same cities. I've seen 7-8 more people having the same issue so far.

I am having similar issues with the train depot. I was able to get a train running by reducing the #s of trains to 1 (it defaulted to 2) and it eventually started. I then added 3 more lines, all with just 1 train.

However NONE of the trains are carrying anything, even though the storage at the train depot is filling up with product to ship to the other cities. No idea what's up, but based on all the posts about it I'm seeing, I'm thinking it's a bug.

Games just buggy trash which is why I didn't spend money for it. I'll play it for free and maybe they'll learn their lesson for making an overly complicated unfun mess when skylines 3 comes around. Games fun til you try to do exports and underground subways. Maybe mods will make it less complicated and buggy.

...so after fiddling with it it wants another Rail Yard. Seems one dev called it a depot, and another called it a Yard...
