Overview

• Several building upgrades are available in the game and are unlocked through research
  • These are unlocked with Roads II, Rails II, Storages II
• Currently there is no “direct upgrade” method available
  • Destroying the building and replacing one in it's spot will preserve the existing routes
• In relation to rail, an upgrade can be used to increase the amount of platforms

Upgrade Garage / Depot

• Garage II provides access to newer vehicles
• Depot II provides access to newer trains and cars

• Make sure there are no vehicles / trains in the garage / depot
• Bulldoze the exist building

• Build the new garage in the same place

Upgrade Warehouse

• There really is no special way to upgrade a warehouse, simply bulldoze the old one and build another
• Any existing conveyor belt connectors will need to be re-added

Upgrade Freight Station / Bus Stop / Waypoint - Road

• Freight stations, bus stops and waypoints are all upgraded the same way, delete and re-add
• These buildings are tied to routes and when deleted, the existing route identifier remains on the map and the routes remain untouched
• Placing a compatible station in the same place will use that route identifier and everything will work as normal
  • Does not have to be in the exact same spot

• Pause the game to prevent traffic flow
• Remove the old freight station first

• After the building is removed the old station name identifier remains
• Clicking on the name will bring up a list of vehicles and routes related to this building
  • You can change the existing route if desired, this guide will be leaving them in place

• Building the replacement Freight Station II should be straight forward … or is it?
• In this case, when you look above at the previous screenshot there are small sections of road that are preventing the station from going in the same place
• Use the bulldoze tool to remove these small sections, holding CTRL allows small sections of road to be removed
• You can see the small sections have now been removed

• Build the new station in the existing place
• Reconnect the road as it was before

• The new station now has the existing routes and will function as before
• Unpause the game

Upgrade Freight Station / Passenger Station / Waypoint - Rail

• Upgrading a rail freight station is identical to the road method
• However in the screenshot above you can see the station currently has a train on it and two more lined up waiting
• You will not be able to destroy the existing station until you remove the train on it and prevent others from entering

• One way to remove the train and any other trains is to send them to the depot
• Another method is to bulldoze a section of track on the inbound line to the station
  • Pause the game before proceeding
  • Use CTRL while using the bulldoze tool to remove a small section

• Now when you resume the game, it will prevent any new trains from entering
  • You will receive a lot of notifications
• Wait until the remaining trains had performed their load/unload operations and have left the station
• Pause the game before continuing

• Bulldoze the existing freight station

• The new platform is going to require terraforming

• A new freight station is being placed, this time with 4 platforms
• Notice how the existing name “Mogo Annex” is not in the center, this is because the new station is not being placed in the same location

• Here you can see the new station has the same name as before, this makes it easy to make physical adjustments without route changes
• After connecting all the tracks, adding signals and re-adding the bulldozed section the train that was waiting now continues as normal
