Any tips for someone new to it? Ive tried to get into it a few times and get too overwhelmed. I really like Cities in Motion (and trains in Factorio...), Open

  I'd try watching the intro YouTube series by MasterHellish and concentrating on a particular industry to start with, it can get overwhelming when there's lots going on.

  Play online, there's a small community running regular public coop games. The downside is the games are typically pinned to an exact nightly build. I got tired of that, but it's managable for a finite duration to get you started.

  Restrict yourself to trains for a while. Things get a little simpler.

  What're you overwhelmed to? If it's signaling, try to use one way signal with loops at the end for turnaround. If you need junctions, look it online and just copy it without much thinking until you get better with this. Turn off vehicles breakdowns, and there's setting to change towns to follow 2x2 or 3x3 grid, which will make building easier. To make early money, look for two cities (they have City label on their name) with high enough population and close enough distance, and make 7 length station on both. You'll want to run 7 length on every passenger train in the end, it'll simplify the design. The ui and menus may be confusing at first, but you'll get used to it.
