#+TITLE: OpenTTD Refit Station

#+DATE: 2025-10-11

|
* Prologue
|
|
I always forget how to build these things. So might as well write it
|
|
down.
|
|
|
|
The idea of a refit station is to not clog up your network with empty
|
|
trains. A train delivers one cargo at the station, enters a depot,
|
|
refits to a different cargo and then enters the station to pick up the
|
|
new cargo.
|
|
* Refit Station
|
|
To prevent trains from piling up in the depots we need to add some
|
|
fancy signalling. On the way in we use a one-way entry-signal, and a
|
|
one-way combo-signal. On the way out we use a one-way exit-signal. To
|
|
make the depot available as soon as the leaving train is on the
|
|
loading platform we need to add a path-signal after the exit-signal.

|
By staggering the station by two tiles we can build the traditional
|
|
diagonal ro-ro station and have the correct amount of breaking space
|
|
in front of it.

* Refit Yard
|
|
To refit trains outside of a station a refit-yard can be used.
