Satus Signal Box: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:37, 10 July 2024

The Satus Signal Box is one of the most essential signal boxes in the game. It controls Satus Services, Jaiden's House and Satus Level Crossing (formerly Steynbath Crossing), and holds traffic between Fanory Mill and Dovedale East. The line which the box controls is almost entirely single track and traffic builds up easily due to the spawn points at Fanory Mill, which often leads to the line being blocked to oncoming traffic from Fanory Mill or Dovedale East.

It previously had a 750 XP requirement, but it was later increased to 1250 XP.

Trivia

Satus Signal Box was previously labelled as the "worst signal box in the game". This was generally due to how chaotic it was trying to deal with the abundance of steam trains trying to enter the mainline from their spawn point.
- In older versions, the track circuits were not working properly, which made signalling very difficult without communication between boxes and drivers, knowing that Fanory Mill did not have XP requirements and usually was not staffed.
Satus Signal Box is popular as a 'real' signal box for beginners to start in.
Satus signal box has a plaque dedicated to the grandfather of one of the games administrators, Coldy.
According to a sign on the front of it, the address of the signal box is "10 Satus View Drive".
