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 x / 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 x / 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
- !cargotype action
- 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, !GOODS DROPOFF (handles steel,livestock,grain), !GOODS PICKUP, !WOOD DROPOFF, !WOOD 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
