Service Point
Service Points are where locomotives are repaired and refueled. Depending on the location, service points can refuel diesel fuel, coal, water, and/or repair damage. Some locations also have separate coal and/or water towers for steam locomotives.
Servicing your own locomotive requires a license. If the player does not have the required license, service fees can be paid at the career manager. However, fees paid in this way cost twice as much, so the player is incentivized to purchase a manual license as soon as possible.
Usage
Drive a locomotive into the service area. Once the locomotive is aligned, the service point will make a beeping sound, and the terminal will display the current damage and stock levels of any components or consumables the locomotive has. If the service point is a water tower, the horizontal position of the spout must also be aligned with the engine's water tank using a wheel at the tower's base.
If the player has a manual service license, the player can repair or restock the locomotive by pulling a lever for each item available at the terminal. If the player does not have enough money to pay for service, the levers can be pulled in the other direction until the price is at an acceptable level.
Repairs and consumables are not applied until the player uses their wallet at the terminal's point of sale. Once service is paid for, it cannot be removed from the locomotive.
