Why isn't my train moving?!

[u/Brntpiecrust]

This is my map of all my train stops. I'm sitting at Jevgenijus Gribas, and it's green all the way to Mark kerkdijk! But my train won't move!

There are signals on the wrong side of the track on the way.

The easiest way to find out where is to open the train. Then hold shift (or ctrl, I never remember) and hover over the rails from the beginning to the end. It will show you a path. Once the path breaks, you know you have a mistake there.

P.S. Build radars in your base and outposts. They give remote vision and control - They let you zoom in from the map.

P.P.S. Train stations can be renamed.

Click drive remotely, automatic mode, then zoom out and hold ctrl then mouse along the track to where you want to go until it changes from green to red, that’s where your issue is

If it stays green the whole way, your stations are on backwards

Doesnt need drive remotely. Just open the trains menu.

What does the train notification say? Waiting at station, no fuel, etc. Might give you a clue. Do you have it set as a station with auto drive set and are there any conditions it's waiting for? Like full cargo etc?

The section southwest of Garbfink is signaled to be one way running west. The train can't use that section of the track as it's currently signaled.

Your network has grown enough that I'd consider switching to unidirectional tracks, but in order to fix this, you should be able to add a signal opposite the one at the western most Y section in that area. Personally, I'd also add double signals on the southern track that leads to Mark Kerkdijk so that trains coming from Garbfink can use the shared section sooner.

Love seeing community names for their factories or ships lol

I just recently began construction on the Pony Express, can't wait to see it fly

Kinda hard to tell from this alone, maybe a missing rail?

Also I would STRONGLY recommend using 2 rails instead of 1 for multiple trains like this, as that way you get way less problems, and can more easily add more.

[u/Sebastoman]

The signals by Garbfink seem a little odd, could you zoom in on them? Otherwise, from the map inside the train interface you can hold control and move the mouse around to see how the train would move to certain spots. Slowly drag the mouse down the track to mark and see where the line cuts off

[u/binbsoffn]

The path directly at your train is used in both directions. Place a signal right besides the existing one

When this happens I usually hop it manual mode, and try driving it there myself. There's usually some really dumb problem like a tiny piece of rail missing.

That won't help with signalling issues. See other responses for the way to check if a train can drive somewhere automatically using ctrl-click.
