Idea: Do the one-line-challange again, but when you hit the train cap just build a second line that has the exact same route as the old line

I second this - it is a fair way around the limit. So long as the second line follows the exact same route it is basically still just one line.

I love this as a train guy. This reminds me a lot of the Glasgow Metro. It's just a big loop line. I like seeing what normies...uh, I mean non-trainspotters, do when they play metro games. Loop lines are a common strategy for cities that have spoke-hub lines. Systems like the Moscow Metro have most of their lines head to the city center and they intersect a lot, which is nice if you want to head to the center. But if you're in an outer area, it can be difficult to get to a different outer area without heading to the center. This is where loop lines come in handy. You don't have to go all the way in, just transfer to the loop line.

Cutting the loop might help. Also, as others have said you could modify the challenge to be "multiple lines, but same route". Its fine if you don't have enough bridges, the lines don't all have to traverse the whole length of the "main" line. You can also try a massive single "loop" made of multiple lines that never overlap.

The trains sometimes stop at a station because they're waiting for the train ahead to move and leave some space between them.

In Australia (including Melbourne) trains and train lines are mostly above ground. So bridges (eg Sydney Harbour Bridge) are used instead of tunnels when crossing rivers.

When I was playing this, I think squares were the rarest of the regular shapes. It's been a while, but it would appear that circles are the most frequent.

Yes. The ideal line visits different station types between each station as much as possible and any line that has an end where the train doubles back on itself visits the same station type immediately after one possibly different station at each end. As in if you end with a circle and before the end is a triangle, the train visits triangle-circle-triangle. Also if you put two of the same shape in a row at the end say two circles, the train visits circle-circle-circle whereas connecting those two circles together in a loop remains just two circles visited in a row not three.

I looked this game up and started playing it after watching you. I cannot believe how addictive it is. Every time I don't hit my goal, it just makes me want to try again and again until hours disappear.

i think the shapes represent something (only really cirle triangle and square).

I feel like using this strat for the beginning And only when you max the trains on one line, start adding new lines.

If only train companies in real life could just transport trains from one end of the city to another when they needed to.

I started playing this a few days ago and it'd interestingly relaxing. Out approaches are vastly different in some areas. I'm gonna be testing shape based lines next time I play. let a train pick all the waiting triangles and drop them then collect the rest and play hard on interchanges. I doubt it'll be efficient, but something to try and maybe get insight from.

Matt! Can you change your mini metro to dark mode? It will make for easier watching lol

Don't sweat it - the real trams in melbourne are all on top of eachother too... Or as we say 'trams are like bananas, they're green & yellow, and come in bunches!'

if you ever revisit this challenge, try having multiple lines that follow the exact same path to bypass the locomotive limit

Honestly, just making the lines go in circles is the most successful method I've found. Almost 2,000 points at times.

I think there's often a train limit per line as far as I remember.

I watched your previous episode of mini metros a few days ago, checked to see if it existed in the Google play store and have lost hours of my life to it since then. I see circles and triangles when I close my eyes. Thanks RCE 🤣

The trains will auto-space themselves, that's why they sit at a station when you put them right on top of each other!

"Peace love and....metro lines." "Peace love and websites." Confirmed this is Mumbo Jumbo's secret channel and he's using a voice modulator and he can't stop saying "Peace love and plants" so he has to change it up.

Hey Matt, when you take a train and put it on the same line, the contents of it will be unloaded, by doing so you can free up busy stations whenever you want.

I'm pretty sure the 'lemon' shape is a football - the placement of that station is basically where the MCG (Australia's biggest football/cricket stadium) is!

they really like circles

I had no idea you could grab a train and move somewhere else or change it’s direction. Boom! Thank you!

Matt: It's a slanted eyeball shape Americans: *[Angry Footballer Noises]*

fore reference if anyone wants to know where this is in berlin: It starts with, obviously, the "spree" in center berlin. easiest way to find: in berlin this little island is called "museumsinsel" basically museum island and if u look for "pergamon museum" u find it right away or just look for "berliner Dom" which is right under pergamon museum

Rce: ooh what is that. Me: a pointed elipse Rce: a slanted eye lemon

If say, line 1 hits squares and triangles, but connects at a triangle to say, line 2. Line 2 hits circles and triangles, but if there is a circle waiting at line 1's square station, it will get picked up, dropped off at the line interchange, and get brought interlined to a circle.

Make multipel lanes ontop of each other to place more trains

I think similar shapes spawning closer to each other DOES in fact make some sense though. Imagine those people wanted to go to a cinema (circle) or a swimming pool (square). So there are some stations that are around a cinema - that would be circle stations, and some stations in proximity of a swimming pool, all square stations.

Seems like developing 1 line to max works good. Just needed to start adding more lines after.

berlin is the bane of my existence in that game

New rule to this challange: you can use more lines ONLY if all of your existing line are full (5 locamotives)

I'm from NSW, but all of Australia is similar and I can say that the trains are all above ground

The "Lemon" looks like an American Football shape to me, so I call it a stadium!

if you want to do this again, try to place another line on top the first line, it will help you to get more train

I know this would break the “one line” challenge, but what if u made a second line right ontop of the first one, to be able to hav more than 5 lines
