It seems that there are some hidden parameters, which are prohibiting coupling of trains.

I gave up after trying for 10 minutes to couple a shunter with a passenger car, which was without result. The coupler was never to see, so a manual way was not possible. The absolute lack of any response why it's not working leaves only guessing.

I tried different speeds, relogging, leaving the area so that it could be unloaded - nothing. It was an a straight track.

Until that is solved a automated line can't run, because the passenger wagon blocks the track.

This is a long known problem and a serious showstopper!

Hidden variables can't explain everything, see:

Hello,

Does this problem apply to the 'master' branch (the one that currently runs on the linuxworks server) or to the experimental 'tss' branch of the Git repository?

# master

I/We know this problem for a long time. The reason it isn't fixed on master is that I reimplemented the whole train path system in the 'tss' branch, which will become the main branch once it has been tested enough, and it would be a waste of time to fix it elsewhere. I apologize for any inconveniences.

In the meantime, a solution to the problem eventually lies in placing the wagon in the other orientation. To do that, rotate one rail on the track by 180° using the trackworker and then place the wagon on this.

# tss

I would be really surprised if the problem appears here again, but if it really does, I'll need to investigate on this. Thanks for reporting.

- orwell

It happens on the linuxworks server

Destroying a 700 MG or 800 MG wagon? To place the wagon new it has to be removed from the tracks and all passenger wagons are not dropping themself when removing from the tracks.

Perhaps the "Track Worker Tool" could get 'rotate engine/wagon' as an addition function.

Right, but (one of) the hidden variables here is the track orientation - not visible or easy to discover

From current investigations on the new TSS branch happening on

mt.dogmine.fr, the coupling problems seem to have gone.
