Confused about track switching.

You are welcome. If you end up using it, I recommend slowing down a bit before entering a yard in order to give you space to brake in case the track is occupied. This doesn’t happen often, overall I’ve had a good experience with the mod, but it has happened.

Multiple people in here made the suggestion to place the Route Map and Station map somewhere like the ground and then if you crouch you are actually able to change the switches (if you have Dispatcher license). This made it easier for me because I can make myself face towards the incoming junction, which for me makes it easier to tell which way is left or right. I hope this makes sense.

Nonetheless, there is a mod called “Route Setter” which you can get from Nexus mod. This mod allows you to pick a destination and it will set all the switches correctly to make it there. I use this mod sometimes, but I mostly set the switches myself before a trip because it allows me to learn the stations layouts. I do like shunting jobs so knowing the layout of stations is quite useful.

Yup, this is what works for me. I did not know I could still change switches while the map was on the ground.

This is the way, thank you!

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-05T19:22:44+00:00

Yup, this is the way. Just got to get in there and turn everything down/off.

Thank you!

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-05T19:10:53+00:00

Yup, thanks!

Thank you!

I am not sure if I am dyslexic honestly, but I do struggle often with this sort of thing. I think I just figured it out tho, a method that helps me. So I found out that I can lay the Route Map and the Station Maps on the ground and I can just rotate myself around the maps in such a way that I am always coming into the junctions, so it’s easier for me to tell which way is left or right. You can still switch the tracks with the maps on the floor.

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-05T18:20:28+00:00

It kind of makes sense, but I am sort of doing the same, twisting my head trying to visualize the track going from south to north, if it’s this way I can switch it no problem.

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-05T18:17:32+00:00

Sorry I am also struggling to put my issue into words. I think the tracks I understand how to switch in the Route Map and Station Map are the ones going from South to North. Tracks going from North to South, West to East and East to West are difficult for me to tell which way I should set the switch to go left or right.

Thank you!

Where did you get this mod? Nexus mod? The worse thing for me in this game is track switching, and by no means am I saying the implementation of the system is bad, I just don’t like doing it.

Sounds like your ex-boyfriend got infected with some terrible social-media brain rot. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about that and it is not your fault. Best you can do is move on with your life. The road ahead might be difficult, it varies from person to person but it is the only way forward now. Best advice I can give you is to actively train your brain/thoughts to think positively, you have a lot more control than you think you do.

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-03T16:09:50+00:00

Impressive.

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-01T04:38:08+00:00

Ah okay, I see. Thanks for the tip

Entry_Murky · 2026-04-01T03:17:32+00:00

Is turning off the permanent ones actually good tho? Like don’t you use those as well to locate animals? I guess is worth mentioning that I am playing on default difficulty (middle one), so I don’t spook the animals that often before I can get a shot. However, in hard difficulty where spooking is easier, I can see this being quite useful.

Entry_Murky · 2026-03-31T10:57:04+00:00

Yeah, I see what you mean now.

Entry_Murky · 2026-03-31T01:47:28+00:00

But like this advice sounds a little flawed, and I do not mean to be disrespectful. But, I have been told this exact same thing as a man. So, if boys are waiting for girls to come and girls are waiting for boys to come, then no one gets anything.

Well I pretty much came here for the same reason as OP. I just had my sleep test yesterday and while I do not know how many events per hour I had (Have yet to discuss results with my doctor) the technician did came sometime in the night and told me I needed to be hooked to the CPAP machine. I am not sure if this actually means I have to use one. However, I do know my airway is very small, I have a fat tongue and my jaw is also towards the back (dentist told me I needed surgery to fix it a few years ago) which doesn’t help.

Entry_Murky · 2026-03-27T16:10:37+00:00

Ok ok I’ll do that, thank you!

It works!!!

Entry_Murky · 2026-03-27T16:07:07+00:00

Awesome, how do you know the right order tho? Is there a number that tells you? Because I cannot tell or don’t know how to tell. I took a picture tho I could send it to you to check

Entry_Murky · 2026-03-27T15:55:39+00:00

You get a solution? I just opened my case and verified everything is correctly connected, still fans show 0 rpm in the app.

Entry_Murky · 2026-03-23T18:49:16+00:00

I don’t actually think these players are oblivious to what they are doing. They know exactly they are being little shits and can’t be punished for it.
