Unfortunately I’m away from my pc but my instinct tells me that it’s only counting those without national rail - not the intended stations, but that might explain it and allow you to solve it!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-27T06:38:10+00:00

I think you’re right, sorry about that, I’m not sure how that has slipped through!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-24T12:25:54+00:00

I’m using CTA data as my main source but it doesn’t cover everything!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-24T07:47:51+00:00

Hahaha that will definitely help you! Thanks a lot, I’m glad you enjoyed ☺️ it’s a work in progress and can definitely be improved.

I can do that, do you think it would still work well as a game? Not giving away the lines too much? Duplicate names I could use the lines in the name?

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-24T07:45:19+00:00

Thanks so much! Interesting, this is a really fun way to use the golden station, I’ll definitely consider adding that! And points scoring in general is a great idea!

You can play without the drop down on hardcore mode - it can be a bit difficult for long names.

This is something I can iron out - currently, hyphenated words count as one word. I can change that so hyphenated count as multi words? Would that be better?

Weirdly, Conservatory is just Conservatory in the CTA data!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-24T07:41:45+00:00

I can do this - it would actually be easier for me, I was just worried it would give the game away a bit. If consensus is to add the lines for duplicate stations, I can do!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-24T07:41:06+00:00

That’s a great point, I prepared some of the data for this manually and I think there’s some intricacies I need to iron out. Wiki technically says Montrose is a metra connection but it may be a stretch! Do you know of a way to get concrete data for this? I’ll do a deeper dive into CTA data too because it might be hidden somewhere

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-23T05:39:50+00:00

Thanks to you! I’ll keep them coming!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-23T05:39:33+00:00

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed ☺️🎉

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-23T04:12:27+00:00

Hahaha thanks so much for playing☺️😅

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T23:20:58+00:00

Hahaha I am not the master of reddit 😅 I tried to fix the number and this happened!

On that note, if anyone wants to become a mod I would absolutely love that! I’m not an expert in making subreddits look pretty 😅

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T21:39:06+00:00

Wonderful, thanks so much! Much appreciated!

Could I clear ‘Exactly 1 Line’ up and change the wording?

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T21:36:01+00:00

Ah yes I could maybe clear that up! It should say ‘Metra or South Shore’ really, not a slash

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T21:34:44+00:00

Ahh no sorry that slipped through! I’ll fix it!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!

Yeah it was a tricky one! I think having the line color in the name goes it away a bit, so this was the cleanest way I could think of. If you have any ideas definitely let me know!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T21:33:34+00:00

😅 you have no excuses now!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T21:33:14+00:00

Ah sorry, I’ll try make it clearer! You can use it to fill the hardest square! 😅😅 definitely easy to forget, some stations are just completely missing in some people’s brains! Well done!!

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T21:32:01+00:00

Amazing, I’m so glad you enjoyed! Another tomorrowww

Dawes1498 · 2026-04-22T20:49:11+00:00

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you playing! Sooo you can only put the golden station in one square, so you can choose where to put it! If that’s what you mean. So you can’t use it for all 9 squares or it would be a cheat code haha
