I have provided options for building “elevated” and “underground” route buildings, and these work with the modded elevated and underground stations. If you want to use non-vanilla stations, then it is possible to build stations in advance and the AI builder will connect these stations with a route. Unfortunately, I had to hard code the production chains, so non-vanilla industries will be ignored. These are fully integrated into the terrain.Ĭurrently, the AI Builder only uses and understands vanilla assets.
If a large height difference is needed that would exceed the configured max gradient, then spiral(s) will be built to allow the height to be gained or lost.
The early routes will focus on keeping level, later era routes will focus on keeping straight and minimizing distance. As time goes on the behavior will change, for example, rail-road grade-crossings are allowed in the early game but not in the late game. The building parameters change through the eras, I have sub-divided them into 6 different eras, roughly dividing the original eras. As of version 1.0 there is no support for cargo freight. Passenger air connections are also possible. Bear in mind there is no way to currently validate a connection until it has been built, so sometimes these will fail and need to be rolled back, but I estimate they are successful about 90% of the time. Options to connect ships with passengers and freight are provided. If two highways cross, then a junction (4-way stack interchange) is built automatically. I recommend the “2 lanes elevated” option, as building ground-level highways often end up conflicting with a lot of other things. There is an option to build highways between cities. It will even take the original street network and “smooth” it out, the effect is subtle, but it mostly allows road vehicles to maintain their top speed.Īs of version, 1.0 trucks are the only vehicle that will deliver “final” stage cargo to towns. The AI builder looks to re-use existing roads where possible and upgrade them. They will not, however, use passenger tracks as these are kept separate. New terminals are automatically added, and all existing routes are shifted to make way for the new connection.Ĭargo routes to share tracks where possible. You can build inter-city passenger train connections, it will look for existing stations and extend existing lines where possible. Whenever the AI builder constructs a train station, ship port, or airport, it will also construct a bus station with three lines to connect the town’s residential, industrial and commercial areas. It has over 25,000 lines of code and a fuzzy-logic-based route-finding algorithm. The AI builder allows you to quickly build large transport networks in a few clicks.
