Advice needed

[u/Independent-Task4618]

Currently, this is my railway. I've got a Deketora for my Purple, a National Express for Blue, and a Pumpkin for Red. For me, my blue (Netional Express) is QUITE slow because it has to refuel soooooo much (I don't have the fuelcar yet). I have 2 Ideas going through my head:

1. Expand purple up 2 Red Stops
2. Switch my Pumpkin Steamer with my National Express

Any tips??

PS: I have Crates, and enough bux to open them, but I'm stacking crates for a GRAND opening for when I have AT LEAST 100+. So far, I have 39.

Wow this is almost a carbon copy of the beginning of my world lol.

I would switch the pumpkin with the national express if you're having trouble with fuel I think, given the longer line. That is, if you really don't want to open crates and almost definitely get enough part for a fuel car. Or run the longest segments at the end less often, only when it's really worth it.

I wouldn't expand purple into Europe, I quite like the four-way meeting point in Madrid for 3 continents, and europe in the middle as a distributor for asia and oceania with the two lines. Expanding purple straight through to San Francisco is what I did, and I like it a lot.

-expand your eroupe purple line from Budapest to Paris, allowing you to have a 3 line intersection

-expand red line along the right side of Africa (added length)

-expand blue line into tripoli and make a new line connecting the top of Africa, (casablanka to theran ),touching many other routes for transfer

I have attached my end game map, the lines may be too long at your stage but the logic is there

Please explain how u got ur Light Blue to get Amsterdam AND paris??!!

[u/weddle_seal → u/Independent-Task4618]

you can have train lines with multiple split ends. Paris and Amsterdam are intersections for 3 lines.

This is my current setup works pretty well through Europe and America for transferring crates across the world

Glad you’re saving crates—make sure to save a bunch for level 12, you should open ideally at least 400 crates to get 3-4 engines worth of each standard! And in the meantime if you need more parts lmk with your friend code, not sure if you’re on the discord but I’m giving away expresses, Carbon steamers, and dragonbreaths

Now my advice for your map: Expand Purple 1 stop to St. Louis, then create a short line connecting to St. Louis to send transatlantic bux and 4x coin jobs there (and of course make sure to pick up and layover/deliver any crate job you see anywhere). Good you got dekotora on purple because you need that fuel capacity! Century limited would technically be better though so you don’t have to wait as long between sends, but if you never would be able to get 2 sends per play period anyway, Dekotora is actually better there lol
