congestion becomes a problem and with these stop settings it gives you the ability if you're clever enough to optimize or try to optimize away congestion in your network as well by specifying how long trains should spend at train stations etc etc okay so those those are all the new things about trains coming that's pretty much all the information but there is one more piece of information one more piece of information that i mean that we need to talk about two weeks ago jace did a boo-boo
I said, remember two weeks ago when I said...
Play the video.
All of your save files, essentially what this means is they should just work perfectly from update four into update five.
Work perfectly.
Work perfectly.
Work perfectly.
Why did I say perfectly?
Why?
Saves should work perfectly.
Why did I say that?
Why did I say that?
I'm sorry.
Okay, look, I'm sorry.
I said the saves will work perfectly.
They won't necessarily always, maybe.
Let's talk about that.
Let's just talk about it, okay?
But I am sorry.
Yeah, you know, like when I was thinking of that, I was thinking of like, but fact, you know, like when we were like rebalancing stuff, factories stopped working and
lines get clogged up.
But yes, in this case, with the trains, for some people, your save may not work completely.
It'll load, but your trains won't be working because they're going to derail.
Okay, for some people.
So for the people out there who just use like one train, you're not going to be affected at all.
If you are using multiple trains on a loop, then like with just signals before and after your train stations, like that's like all you're going to need to do to get your trains working again.
That's very simple as well.
But for the people out there who have like a single train line with multiple trains, bidirectional traffic, you're going to need to put in a little bit of work there.
People with more complex train lines with complicated intersections, you may need to put in a little bit of work as well.
We don't think it's going to be that much work.
And like your save file isn't broken.
It doesn't really break your saves.
Everything's going to be fine.
And I think in most cases, people will be able to find solutions to get their trains up and running again.
reasonably quickly so um yeah so your saves will still load you just need to tend to just just to your trains a little bit one other question that people have asked is like well what happens if i load my save file and the trains are colliding and the answer to that is actually similar thing like when you when you re-rail your trains sometimes they'll re-rail and be colliding because their last state was a collision state right but when you re-rail trains and they're colliding they actually just won't have collision on them until you drive them so uh the same kind of thing will either happen on load where they won't have collision if they're
