In the new Sunset Harbor upgrade, it seems that all underground stations are turned into metro stations. Connecting to train tracks is no longer possible.

Advanced Stop Selection must now be required.

@Liranius: thats one of those lines i am talking about. I definetly see the issues you are talking about.

I am not sure if that would work, as this would lead to a side project ...
but what if we would have an "Underground Tram Station" with this idea we could build such a system like the mentioned U74, that has its Underground Statons in teh downtown areas and its above ground road stations in the "not so busy" outskirts.

@셀라 (prim) Well, I will transplant them into this collection.

@arKtur Is this the line you are talking about? GoogleMap [www.google.com]
Seems like it used the similar track to the railway while it also runs on the road surface.
There are 2 difficulties for this job:
1. Vanilla tram and railway can't connect to each other so they are basically 2 different network in the game.
2. There are not yet a mod provides functional roads with railway in the middle so tram-like trains are not able to run in the middle of the road for now.

I will keep an eye on this.

@Liranius: i actually ment it slightly different. In Düsseldorf, Germany we also have such a Metro system that you created. But .... in the some outskirts of Düsseldorf, the Line "U74" for example goes above ground and runs on same tracks as the Tram Line: 701 and shares it's stations, insted of going "full elevated". Its Basicly a mix of Tram + Underground. Noit sure if you are going integrate this, too, but if so it would be neat.

Sofar i have to say, your "Railway-as-metro pack" is awesome! But what i dont like with Railway (Heavy Rail) Tracks in C:S is that tunnels are basicly a black hole and you can not see the line going through the tunnel or station except the trains. I am not sure if thats some how possible but it would be awesome to have this fixed. It would also make placing underground stops for your system slightly easier and more visible.

But none the less your mod is not only an alternative, its's also totally refreshing!! Keep up that awesome work!

I meant station like this and also there are 45 degree version of this. (which is mirror of this station)

@셀라 (prim) I'm a little confusing about which kind of station you want. Could you please give me more description? I will be gladly to add them in my to-do list.

Would anyone be interested in making an underground cargo station?
셀라 Mar 8, 2016 @ 5:03pm 
Gread Mod! Can you add 135 degree and 45 degree version of underground rail-metro?
社恐怪  [author] Mar 2, 2016 @ 4:21am 
@arKtur Oops, seems like these tram-like stations are not long enough for metro passenger trains list above. I will think again before include them to this collection. But, of course, there is not any function issues using them. Just FYI. :)

@arKtur I've found some tram-like train stations in the workshop, you can search the keyword "tram" in Transport Train category. I think those are what you are looking for, and it would be a good idea to include them into this collection. However, they also need to be connected with vanilla train track. So if you mean tracks-on-the-road trams like vanilla trams, maybe it's unlikely to happen yet for lacking in that kind of train track.

Awesome Job!!

Just a question. Would it be possible to do the same thing with: "Trams" or maybe also integrate Tram Roads into your System?

This way we could have real: "Light Rail" in the game. In Downtown areas you could build Metro Stations or Tram Stations and in the outerparts you could than use it as Light Rail and use Train Stations.

Some german cities use such a system as metro.

@j4lambert My dear friend, mods mentioned by you is not the only choice. I just used awesome ModTools (@BloodyPenguin's fixed version) and a simple script by @boformer. I don't know why you mention convert train assets into metro assets, what I've done is just the opposite.
Serenity Rune Mar 1, 2016 @ 6:24pm 
In order to convert train assets into metro assets, I had to use the Asset UI Category Changer and the Item Class changer, and shorten the number of trailers to 1, 2, or 3, depending on the train length.
社恐怪  [author] Mar 1, 2016 @ 5:00pm 
@j4lambert Thanks for the information! However, vanilla metro trailers are too short and have no skin. We have waited for 3 major updates, but things still not changed. I would like to provide an alternative for the community. At least, these tiny tiny works can make the long waiting not so boring.
Serenity Rune Mar 1, 2016 @ 4:26pm 
I think an update will be released that will allow elevated metro to be built. Multi-Track Station Enabler is required for the transfer stations.
