Heading to ocupied depot

Post by ParanoikCZ »

Not sure if this is related to LTN, the game itself or some my wrong setup. However, there are few stations like this, this one is most exposed, as it's a bit aside, so not many trains are called from depots. There are depots with the same name at other stations, but when arrives here, it always chose the first line and stuck here, blocking other trains which timeouts. If I CtrlClick somewhere next to station, it will leave and properly select distant free depot. All lines at the depot were occupied even at the moment arriving into the station.

Not an LTN issue, reported to be moved into general gameplay help.

thanks, this helped, but not sure why is it working this way? I expected that if I place chain signal before all normal signals, train will decide what way to use while passing it, chosing "green way" where possible.
