Our networks are really complex and playing together with a lot of people needs a good communication. The coop-players created some special naming conventions, keeping the communication as simple as possible. It is a need to know these conventions to get an idea of the way coop-players play. Mostly they are used to find a special station or hub via the sign- or station list.

• SLH xx / creator name
  • Sideline Hub Number and its Creator
  • Used to mark the Slh's, all know who built the hub and via Signlist the Slh can be found very fast/easy
  • Do not forget to write 1 - 9 as 01 -09, otherwise they are not ordered correctly in the signlist.
  • example: Slh 01 / Brianetta

• BBH xx / creator name
  • Hub Number and its Creator
  • Used to mark the Hub's, all know who built the hub and via Signlist the Slh can be found very fast/easy
  • Do not forget to write 1 - 9 as 01 -09, otherwise they are not ordered correctly in the signlist.
  • example: Bbh 01 / Brianetta

• !INDUSTRYTYPE ACTION
  • The station names for the Main-Stations
  • The cargo type the station produces or deals with and what happens to the cargo
  • the station names are written in captial letters
  • This is used for the big stations: !COAL DROPOFF, !FACTORY DROPOFF (handles steel,livestock,grain), !FACTORY PICKUP, !WOOD DROPOFF, !WOOD PICKUP, !OIL DROPOFF, !OIL PICKUP

• !network design
  • at this sign you can see a small overview about the map and get an idea about the game and its network structure
