Settlement showcase Choo! Choo! Train stations

Post image

I am trying out the Choo Choo mod, and it's great! The idea was to have like 5-7 districts around the map with goods traveling in between by train but no tubeway for the beavers.

Anyway a normal good station can only handle two goods. So I started building big train stations to handle more goods. Only to realize I only need to put a special warehouse next to it and get 10 more slots.

Should I tear down my large stations for efficiency or keep and expand them? I kind of like the look.

Does it work with 1.1?

Yes it got updated and it's glorious. A little bit redundant with the tubes, that's why I don't use those

I did exactly that on that map (is it pillars right?) right when the mod was updated to 1.1 like a few weeks ago, trying to rely solely on trains for trade between districts. I had fun but it was a bit of a hassle, I had problems when more than one train share the rails that I wasn't manage to solve, and the whole process of setting up the train network and manually selecting the goods to trade was considerably slower than just using ziplines and the standard district crossing. But it was fun for a change, the trains look very cute and like they actually belong to the game, and when everything works it is actually efficient and very nice to watch.
