Game tick
Game ticks represent an amount of time required, before automatic in-game processes happen. Both the arrow (→) and a dash (-) represent one game tick. One game tick takes about 3 in-game days. Progress to the next tick is always displayed next to the current game date (see In-game interface). Accelerating the Game speed also affects ticks.
List of processes affected by game ticks
- Production of Goods at Industries
- Production of Passengers at Houses
- Deduction of vehicle Operating costs
Due to different Industry extensions having different amount of ticks, you can see different amounts of Goods being produced each game tick. For example, a fully upgraded Forest can produce 2-4 Logs and 1 Coal on a game tick.
According to Jan Zeleny, ticks for Trains work a little differently. Trains consume fuel only when accelerating or keeping top speed. While waiting at signals, loading/unloading or slowing down, the train does not consume fuel. However, while the train is waiting in a depot, it does consume fuel.
