How do you guys get started building giant rail networks so fast? My little gold/valuables train can barely earn me money, and it takes forever to fully load up at stations which wastes time and operating costs.

e: Never mind, fixed it. I forgot about the reverse train button. And 90-degree turns.

I finally figured out how to do signals, but I can't figure out why my trains keep entering and exiting the depots sometimes. Is it some weird thing with the routing system or is my block set up wrong?

Here's the layout:  In this picture you can see where one of the trains is entering the depot. It then comes out the same way it went in and then stops at the station and turns around after loading.  I did this initially to practice using signals which is why my money is huge (I cheated)

I just tried it and they still do it even with the depot away from the track. I even tried putting in another signal to try to lock the trains onto their route.

I recently tried starting a coal service and not only did I waste a ton of money doing it but my company ran into the red: Is this because the Japanese train pack has different prices or is this just me sucking at making a good coal route?

The thing is all the additional track/cost of building stations with 2 tracks kind of makes it hard for me to be able to build trains afterwards because by then I've used up so much cash I'm afraid I can't afford even a low level train. I did try doing a coal route without the Japanese trains and was able to get a loop with block signals going, but I guess I should use path signals from now on since they're better.

I'm trying to join the server, but it keeps saying I'm missing NewStations 0.51, which I already have in the grfs folder

Guess who had to clean up Tyrell's mess after thinking it would be a great idea to buy the company for $2? Also, worst idea for a station signal layout ever:

Beamed posted:His signals are silly. He has the entry presignal setup right, but he doesn't actually have both silver ones set up at the station entrance. So it's just kinda useless. Also, I just left the server very satisfied because I had brought Beadingstone from this:  to this:

NewGRFs, I think, unless the Dolphin bus is vanilla. I also had a Cincinnati bus network going on and one in Aberdean.

Welp, I think I won't be able to get on the server anymore until the map resets because I keep being booted off for my computer being too slow. I did get a maglev line running along the shore to Miami, though, which is cool.    And Beadingstone is now gigantic:  Also, is there any way to stop the game from telling me I need a development snapshot of the graphics every time I start it up?

I saved the map for the multiplayer server offline, but it only lets me into one company (Fuckups United) and not my own company, is there any way to fix this?

Whoever said sitting on a pile of riches in this game is boring is totally right, my company has 3 billion dollars and I don't feel like doing anything outside of maybe laying down a mapwide vacuum train system which would take forever.

I went back on the server, made a coal line, realized I made it too short, took out like 10 loans to make a longer one and now I'm in the red. Whoops.

Is there any way to make a line of one way block signals? I hate having to click on every single one to change it to one way.

I could not get into Simutrans because it required more steps to get trains to actually load cargo and I wasn't seeing them do it when I actually did everything required. Also echoing that the documentation is pretty bad and doesn't help at all.
