Thanks for the host, speaking of "lots of cities" I think it's only half to 1/3 of the expected value for big maps, still have some hubs cities could be worked on though.
I'm working on the SW corner of the maps and aim to finish most industry chains as possible.
Update (0301 noon)
- Naty's side should be running smoothly with some chains working, several sections upgraded to double line layout with sidings to rise the average line speed for cross country express freight trains.
expect positive balance could be achieved in around 12 in game years with just AFK.
