Is there any underground tool or addon that add tracks on underground?

You can build subways with the tunnel tool + underground modus (shift-u). http://en.wiki.simutrans.com/index.php?title=Tunnels

No I meant rail tracks on underground. Turn around the track, like that.

Yes you can, just like gerw said. If you select the tunnel tool then hold CTRL while placing it then it will only place the entrance.  Place any other entrances you want then connect them by going into underground view (SHIFT + U). Underground view is pretty confusing at first but after a while you'll get the hang of it! Anyways you will notice that you can't select track tools in underground view. Instead you select the tunnel tool and use that to lay tracks.

Please read the article in the wiki...

Also, you can make a subway in all paks IIRC.

Thanks guys. Now I know.


Is there tunnel addon? The tunnel track's speed goes higher...

And can I make ramps to let the train go up to the ground?

I think theres this slice tool or something in Pak64 Nightly but haven't got round to that yet. Instead just lower the ground. You could also use artificial slopes to lower to tiles side by side then build slopes on them so that it's a little ditch.

As of r2578 Nightly (I know it from there at least) you can have slice mode.

Main Menu - Display - Slice Mode.

A word of warning, though. Mind the maintenance costs. Tunnels, bridges and elevated tracks cost a fortune to make and maintain.

Ok. Thank you but I am using freeplay mode all the time. So, I'll try my best if I'm not playing free-mode.




Is it impossible to put cargo stations underground? A train cannot collect cargo underground but aboveground can.
