LINE MANAGER / ROUTING

Make a line use the route you want

Pre-release | Checked September 28, 2026. Announced TF3 rules; release build not playtested.

Select a passing point in the Line Manager; no waypoint sign is needed

In TF3, open the Line Manager and select a place the line should pass through. You do not first build a special waypoint sign. Urban Games says this works on land, water and in the air. Use a waypoint to control the corridor; use train priority separately to decide which service receives preference on shared track.

What to do

  1. Select the intended line. Read its stops and direction before changing the path. The redesigned Line Manager lets you select and edit lines in the world and reorder stops by dragging them in the list.
  2. Add the intended passing point. Use the Line Manager’s waypoint placement and select a location along the usable route. The announced workflow does not require a separately constructed waypoint sign. Exact final-build button names are not documented in the cited blog.
  3. Inspect the resulting line path. Check that the point produces the desired corridor between the correct stops. For a detour toward a maintenance facility, confirm the actual journey enters its coverage instead of only passing nearby on the map.
  4. Follow one vehicle through it. Look for the vehicle taking the intended road, track, water or air corridor. If you change stop order as well, confirm it still collects and delivers at the correct places.
  5. Check the cost of the detour. For freight, compare delivery timing and expenses; an in-time cargo delivery does not earn extra payment for distance. For a train delayed at a junction, see line priority rather than adding a waypoint to the same blocked track.

How to tell it worked

The line path and a running vehicle both use the intended corridor, stops remain in the correct order, and any maintenance or delivery objective still works. Seeing a point in the manager alone does not prove that the route is useful.

If you are still stuck

  • The requested corridor is unreachable: Check the physical connection and whether the chosen infrastructure suits the vehicle. Reposition the waypoint on a usable path; this is a connectivity check, not a guaranteed pathfinding reset.
  • The vehicle visits the wrong stop first: Inspect stop order in the manager, then observe another trip.
  • The train still waits at a signal: A waypoint selects a path. It does not remove occupied track or change reservation priority.
  • The detour does not service vehicles: Check appropriate maintenance facility, coverage and capacity.
