Train Yard Idle

Dispatch trains, buy yard upgrades, and grow a compact browser depot

Tap the dispatch lever, send short cargo trains to the depot, and spend each earned plan on the next yard upgrade before the screen turns into dashboard clutter.

Wait until the Cargo ready count reaches the full Dispatch load before sending the next train.
Buy Extra Wagon first if you want each departure to change the depot state more dramatically.
Use number keys 1 through 4 to buy ready upgrades from the yard panel.
Your progress saves on this device, and reset requires a confirmation step.
