Hello all I'm currently in the process of making my first time table and currently struggling with the Seed map placements. I have figured out the seeding for the platforms but not with signals throughout the rest of the panels. Is there any seed map available for this? I've seen the signal map but that isn't too useful.

You will know roughly where you need a train to enter if you know the times at the pre-seed-time and post-seed-time locations. Right-click* on the signals between the locations until you find the signal number at the location that fits your seed entry best.

* Left-click if you have used F3 to set Options > Control to check the "Right-click cancels route" box.

I second Postals comment. It can be a bit of a guessing game, but when you test the timetable you can always adjust the seed point by several signals if its running to early/late.

trains are normally seeded at a signal number rather than a location so I'm not sure why the signal maps aren't what you're looking for. could you elaborate on what information you're actually looking for to complete seeding?

You can find a lot of information in our wiki, and specifically Writing Timetables

Thanks

Maybe I'm just not understanding correctly so I'll show the example. I want to seed a train in at signal W22 but I don't know which seed point that is.

The signals are listed alphanumerically. In that sort of listing S1 is followed by S10, S100, S101 . . . S11, S110, S111, S112 . . . You need to scroll down the list to find S2, S20, S200, S201 . . . S21 . . . S22 . . .

To add to the fun in this case, seeding at S22 in the TT actually enters the train at S10. Presumably something in the coding for the sim due to some sort of local circumstance.
