Off-by-one rail bug

Because EA launches things and fixes them later far too often. :roll:

About eight 3-square straight tracks would solve everything. 1-square tracks wouldn't be pretty.

But what about how if you move everything by one block...then the SH Tunnel no longer lines up, in my case, with the Mall-O-Rail? Maybe I'm the only one who has this set up...

So, I'm looking for suggestions. What do I do here? I can't move the Mall or IT will be off by one... I can't move the tunnel because EA doesn't allow that. All I can think of is that I have to have a peak-a-boo track coming from SF and then going back in and never connecting to the SH line at all. Other suggestions?

Edit: added poll by request.

Ummmm, if you remove the small straight piece near the tunnel wouldn't that make it line up?

It looks like that should work, sadly no. His track is off 1 square, the 1/2 straights are 2 squares.

Thank you for clarifying.

The only other choice is to move the Mall Station 1 square and then it won't line up with the street. And the bigger problem is that there is probably a massive amount of track and buildings and deco on the other side of the mall that would also have to be moved one square. The area select tool isn't working very well for this either. One would almost have to be able to highlight the intire town and move it one silly square and then probably run into a problem at the edges. Quite frustrating.

I have my tunnel but as yet haven't tried to hook it up to anything yet because there is just no room. I am hoping August 16 will being more land both in SH and to the north of main Springfield. Maybe a glitch fix also?

Hmmm, if SH gets more land I better start stocking up on the SH products to buy it.

^ My design would have been even tighter if the SH2 didn't release more land. I'm sure it could all be moved one block over without much issue. Just the entrance being the issue or I would have already gone for it.

I disagree about the poll.... If you're waiing, that's fine. But that doesn't mean you can't test (which is pretty much all I did) and see if it's off.
