> It sounds like the SmartRoute would be a great shortcut for the player who already knows how to correctly set up tracks, TCBs, and signals. Yes. That said, settting up TCBs and signals correctly is an important prerequisite for a functional interlocking system, regardless of whether routes are created manually or with Smart Route. Considering that Smart Route is expected to _generally_ work, I would be interested in the setup you created that you had trouble with using the Smart Route tool. (It is also interesting to see for documentation purposes.) > This ^ kind of highlights the issue for me. I've no idea what OpenTTD is. Advtrains is complex, but much of the complexity could be mitigated with instructions that don't assume so much realistic train knowledge or knowledge of other train sims, give clear steps with more general terminology, and illustrate simpler examples. I picked up the work on my manual (again). Would something like this be a good example for explaining the interlocking system? Statistics: Posted by yw05 — Wed Jan 14, 2026 22:53 * * *

I find that naming the signals as soon as you place them helps a lot with SmartRoute, as you don't have to decode and remember which signal was at which coordinate, especially since they don't always appear in order of what's closest to you. The SmartRoute-created-routes are named by the terminating signal names (and intermediate sections, name these too in complex trackwork) by default too.
