Underground Train Station, New York-style, semi-modular

Description
Connect Underground Train Stations To Underground Metro Stations With Pedestrian Tunnels!

I created this because MOM (Metro Overhaul Mod) does not allow you to change undergound stations between metro and train, and I desperately wanted that option for Arti Shatkovski's New York Metro Station MetroPed V1 (MOM compatible) [steamproxy.net] which my asset is based on entirely.

Subscribing to both my asset and Arti Shatkovski's assets , you can now connect an underground train station to an underground metro station with pedestrian tunnels!

Or you can even turn (certain) parks into station entrances, such as core79's 45º Park

PLEASE READ Arti Shatkovski's item's description for how to place this asset. It can be very finicky.

***I am not a modder, so I might not be able to help if anyone experiences any issues. This works for me, and I am just sharing this for anyone else who may be looking for something similar.

REQUIREMENTS
Steam's required item list is blank whenever I upload an item, even under my "subscribed" item's list, so please know all of the follower are REQUIRED

1. Extra Train Station Tracks (ETST) [steamproxy.net] - my asset (*and quite possibly your save, according to these authors*) will break without this!! Delete the station first before removing this mod!

2. New York Metro Entrance Perpendicular MetroPed (MOM compatible) [steamproxy.net] - for extra entrances to connect to this station with pedestrian tunnels.

3. Map Editor Tunnel Enabler - The game does not allow underground train stations, which creates visual problems when connecting tunnel tracks to an underground train station, but thanks to this mod by BloodyPenguin and with PATIENCE and a little effort, just keep upgrading the connection to a tunnel until it is rendered correctly. Fine Road Anarchy 2 will help with this, too.

4. Metro Overhaul Mod[steamproxy.net] - please see *** below

KNOWN ISSUES AND WORK AROUNDS

This model was originally a metro station which I converted to a train station. Because of this, there is NO option to allow intercity trains. If you do not place train line stops, this station will not be used. I cannot figure out how to get "allow intercity trains" to pop up, even with the correct mods installed. I think this is entirely because metro stations do not have that option, and again, this was originally a metro station.

***Because there is obviously still metro coding in my asset since intercity passengers are not possible, you may have to also subscribe to Metro Overhaul Mod[steamproxy.net] as my asset was created from an asset that was MOM compatible***

Per the original model's description (again, PLEASE READ that description) this station needs to placed on FLAT ground, or the pedestrian tunnels will appear uneven. This is just visual, the station will still work properly.

Credits

This was created entirely due and thanks to the following:

Arti Shatkovski's New York Metro Station MetroPed V1 (MOM compatible) [steamproxy.net]

BloodyPenguin's, boformer's and sniggledigit's Extra Train Station Tracks (ETST) [steamproxy.net]

Snow_Cat's Asset UI Category Changer , Asset ItemClass Changer and Asset UI Priority Changer

This idea was heavily inspired by BloodyPenguin's POC Underground Train Station

kinda broken as it forces a tunnel entrance

@R(ed) Well thank you for sticking with it, and I'm glad you have a use for it now! :steamhappy: I very much hope the CS team is able to solve those issues too.

btw, I gave up on my fork. I could not figure out how to make this fully train so MOM is not a requirement and outside traffic can be accepted, so I'm even more happy this current version works for you.

Amusing that I started off hating the asset to finding a use for it.Thank you for your patience with me in that regard. Here's hoping that the CS team are more flexible either in this game or a sequel in regards to underground rail. With the Elizabeth Line now in existence I can certainly say there are prominent real life examples!

@R(ed)

I'm glad adding MOM worked! I have forked this asset to try to figure out how to remove any remaining metro features (so MOM is not a requirement and so it can accept outside traffic) but so far I have not had any luck (I'm not modder)

Regarding the tracks coming out of the ground, that is an issue that BloodyPenguin mentioned on his page of the required asset. That's unfortunately just a limitation of the game that even he cannot figure out.

BUT, what I have found works with a LOT of patience is to turn on anarchy and keep upgrading that particular part and EVENTUALLY it will render properly.

It's very painstaking, but unfortunate at this point in time thats the only solution

@ctatuga

Okay, I thought I'd loop round and have a look. With MOM I can get the asset working. So far I can't connect tracks to it without the tracks coming back out of the ground. I'll have to experiment further. It could be the terrain...

I just with the devs had added underground rail as a default option. It would have saved you a lot of trouble on your end, I imagine.

@R(ed) I have been thinking about this trying to figure out why it does not work for you, and I have a question...

Are you subscribed to Metro Overhaul Mod? The original model I used from Arti Shatkovski was a model that used MOM. I obviously changed that in my asset, but since my asset cannot accept intercity passengers, that must mean that there is still something in the coding remaining as a metro station and if so it may still also be connected to MOM...

If you do not have MOM, can you try subscribing to it and see if that helps?
ctcatuga  [author] 4 May, 2022 @ 9:48am 
@R(ed) I'm sorry you're having issues. How is it not working for you? Are people not using it, are you unable to place train stops?

I have everything that is listed and it works for me. There are 78 other subscribers and so far only 2 of you have said it does not work, which makes me think it could possibly be something on your end? Maybe an asset or mod that I do not have that is conflicting with it? Did you make sure to enable all the dependencies? I myself have downloaded something before and then forgotten to enable it, so I do not mean that condescendingly.
R(ed) 30 Apr, 2022 @ 7:44am 
A shame, there's a great demand for a station such as this. But it doesn't work at all, even with all the assets from the other author, and their dependencies.

I'm unsure if you have a custom setup running but as it stands, this asset is worse than useless.
ctcatuga  [author] 25 Apr, 2022 @ 3:29pm 
I just updated this so that Map Editor Tunnel Enabler is a requirement. According to BloodyPenguin, the game was not built for underground stations and his mod helps with that.
ctcatuga  [author] 25 Apr, 2022 @ 3:19pm 
@y_uda_i_2525 Did you subscribe to Extra Train Station tracks? I am able to play and use this without a problem, so there must be something missing on your end. Do you have Map Editor Tunnel Enabler installed, too?
