I think I have it sorted..... I used the vanilla 2-way tracks, starting from the underground tracks from the terminal. Made a 2 unit (squares) section, then carried on making longer track lengths from the section I created. This kept the tracks underground, but..... It does however create a noticeable hole in the ground, on both sides. It can be covered over with assets of course. I use grass asset, around the hole and lay down loads of trees to blend it in.
This cargo terminal worked for me as it should, tho, it would have been 100% perfect if it didn't create holes from laying down tracks!
Maybe the creators of this asset could take another look at it and hopefully be able to fix the issue everyone is having.

I'm Having the same problem as Laratitan. I'd really like to use this asset, but I can't connect to it properly.

나는 그것을 사용할수 없다.
지상의 철도를 지하화 해서 건물에 연결하면 터널이 거꾸로 생긴다. 수정 필요

I finally understand what people are saying about creating the 2u segment first. But that only allows me to build back up to the surface. I can't create a tunnel-only structure of railways

When I add tracks it forces it to come to the surface first, both sides. Even if I make an otherwise same elevation track it bursts out the side before tunneling back underground, making building there impossible.

I expected it to be like metro track where if you start and end underground, it's just a tunnel.

But when I set up in game it costs $99999. Why?

I see u are also a Calatrava enjoyer

thanks for the amazing buildings

I have a small problem. I would love to use this but it gives an error message when ever I try to use it. Please help

Hi Nickayz, weird issue today with this asset. The game didn't recognized them anymore. Had to demolish them all and replace them with, yes, this asset. After that it worked again.

I seem to recall in the mists of time that the Boformers sunken ones used to want you to place the two segment piece as well and now don't so I wonder if he used a different "type" of station track or something.

Alright. I'll look into it. I even know that station, but haven't placed it, since it is from 2015.

Apologies again! I rather naively assumed that "subscribing" to a discussion would send me email rather than just appearing in the little Steam inbox! Now I know where to look :)

The connection points are underground though, so I'm not sure it makes a difference. It's not like two other "sunken" stations by BadPenguin I think which are meant to be put in trenches so the connection points are above ground albeit you have to lower the ground.

There's another I haven't used for some time so don't recall if it has the issue - Helsingborg station has two underground tracks and certainly suggests using the two unit stub but I don't remember it creating an issue above ground. I'd need to try using it again: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=565068791

All that said, whether I've been more careful with levelling, or whatever the reason, the little glitch on the surface created by your cargo station seems to be less obtrusive now to me!

I know those stations. I guess there is a difference between sunken and underground track.
We are talking about underground tracks, aren't we?

Apologies...I've still to remember to click on subscribe when I write something to get the replies! Boformer's sunken brick/concrete stations seem to work without the mini section or without creating a dent in the ground: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=536893383

This might be helpful for you then: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543610836

It works without the 2 unit track, but the tunnel just does not always look good. You can also make 3 units, if that helps. Can you link me an underground station that works without that, please? From the recent ones I know only this one: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2497586215 and it works the same way as mine.

It would be doubly cool if you could work out how other underground stations got themselves to work without creating the tear in the earth! I remember when creating that 2 unit track was the best way to avoid it but they all seem to have managed to do away with that now. But I'm going to use this for now to learn how to do those nicely walled sunken tracks you have in the photo as a way of making the link more aesthetically pleasing!

Works great and looks amazing! Thank you :D

Great asset, working perfect. Thx!

hmmm but can you show how you add trucks without that tunnel because i can't do that(

@Nickyayz. There are a bunch of passenger train station on the Workshop with underground tracks. Please post a video of this working

Which passenger train station @Dr.Catsville?

Hmmmm... if so then how did you explain the fact that passagener train station was underground and don't have any tunnel problem?

I will do that. Please keep in mind that like with all custom airports and train stations, you need to place a vanilla asset first. After trains started running, you can switch to a custom station.

Maybe post a video of it working

@zanyboy19
What do you mean it doesn't work? Do cargo trains arrive? When placing tracks you will usully have a ditch. That is game behaviour, because the game does not visually support underground tunnel stations.

Yes I have.

Great concept. But doesn't work. Tracks don't stay underground and forms tunnels

I can't get the tracks to stay underground - tried the 2m @ -12 tip and it doesn't work, sadly. Hope you manage to get it sorted - the building looks great.

Do you have Extra Train Station Tracks ( ETST ) mod subscribed AND enabled? What happens when you try placing the asset in game?

this asset is broken. Showing "failed" in Loading Screen Mod and cannot be found in game.

Does only "Loading Screen Mod" show an error or does it actually not work in the game? Can you try starting a new game and look if it still shows as broken?

I've subscribed all needed mods and objects and it's an "Assets that failed to load" accroding to the report from "Loading Screen Mod". Maybe you can ask them why their mod gives this report, if it works for you. Just a rookie tip.

It is working for me.. Do you have Extra Train Station Tracks ( ETST ) mod subscirbed and enabled? It won't work without.

this asset are broken...

If you connect a road to it, is it actually used by traffic? Can you upload a screenshot of it connected with a road and a highway used by traffic?

I loaded it up in the asset editor, but I had no way of knowing what network it was. Hovering over it with the upgrade function did nothing; it was like it wasn't there

Hm. This sounds to me like you are having a crazy bug. What does the tunnel look like when you are loading the cargo terminal in the asset editor?

I do indeed have those mods installed as well, but even with those turned on, rail refuses to connect to it; road, however, connects just fine

Do you have Fine Road Tool and Fine Road Anarchy mods installed? Maybe they help connecting to the tunnel.

I have indeed subscribed to and placed down this asset. I also have subscribed to ETST

Did you actually subscibe to and place the cargo terminal? There are special tracks in the ETST mod. Among them are regular train station tracks, sunken train station tracks and underground station tracks.

Is it just me, or does the underground tunnel seem to be a road instead of a railroad?

Muy bonita pero no funciona correctamente. En el momento de empalmar las vías, el terreno de alrededor se baja a la altura de esta. Una pena, porqué me gustaba mucho la estación, esperando a que hayan nuevas actualizaciones.
PD. Ni haciendo lo que nos indica el creador deja de persistir el problema. Saludos!

The best way to make sure that it is exactly two units, is using the precision engineering mod: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=445589127

If anyone else has the issue, you can use Anarchy to just cover it up with a building

Unfortunately I'm having the same problem as polynomial. I used the terrain tools to make sure the ground was flat. I know it's not useful to just add the same problem. But maybe there's some alternative way of constructing the asset? But if i can figure out how to avoid the problem, i love the concept! xx

Possible request, better make a bit lowered loading area and cover it by light roof panels. Our ugly loading procedure by trucks. Main building will be at ground level.
You just inspired me.

@Polynomial Is your terrain even? Make sure, that you are really buidling a tunnel and that you don't have ground forced with Fine Road Tools.

@Jke I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. But the new metro still does not need a depot? Do you mean a metro station?

Hi. I've tried to connect a tunnel to the station according to your instructions, but no matter how short the "short tunnel" is (1 unit or 2 units), there is still a small pit on the ground. ETST installed.
