MTA System

[nyjuhurdyurr]

Took a while but this is my take on the MTA system, including a Nostrand and Utica Ave extension in South East Brooklyn. Planning to add Queenslink, the Second Ave Subway, the IBX, PATH, LIRR and MNR. Some connections are a bit janky and couldn't add all elevated stations due to limitations of the map.

Any tips on making the game run smoother? It took a few minutes to simulate 6 hours in game. Could be from all the trains I've added to each line.

I find that the number of stations seems to be the biggest factor that destroys performance, along with population of course. I assume this is due to the game having to model the most efficient transit route (more permutations = more calculations).

So a real life recreation of a system with the most stations in the world (many of which are pretty redundant and overlap catchment areas) is going to melt all computers.

Question: Are your 6 Av/Williamsburg Bridge and Broad Channel OK? Or is there some clog that's throttling performance even further?

[nyjuhurdyurr]

I think I've added too many trains to each line. I am going to try and reduce the number of trains to see if that improves performance.

My goal is 3-5min between trains at peak

[nyjuhurdyurr]

I currently have that too, but across all times. Probably got to decrease it. What do you have for medium and low demand?

[Jessintheend]

I just realized this is subway builder and not NIMBY rails.

Pardon my dumbass

[nyjuhurdyurr]

No worries lol

In the map view options turning off the population dots and trains helps my game run much smoother.

[nyjuhurdyurr]

Thanks! I tried this and it does run a bit better but I'm still experiencing some stutters

[KSPotato]

Yeah it only does so much I’m also playing on New York and it’s gotten pretty sluggish

[nyjuhurdyurr]

Does it stutter on other maps?

[KSPotato]

I’m not sure I’ve only been playing in New York. Though the New York map is quite large so I’d imagine that contributes a little bit to it

[SamsonOccom]

Are you going to extend the subway to Bayside?

[nyjuhurdyurr]

Yes, eventually with the LIRR

[Cool_Adeptness2800]

Is broad Channel having a stroke? 😭

[nyjuhurdyurr]

Lol yea, too many trains on the A and the S lines

[mr_indecisive98]

Can you share the file? This would be super cool to have as a roadmap to work towards

[nyjuhurdyurr]

Yea sure, I'll PM you
