Search Trainz 'link': Kuid

Keep a backup of your .cdp files. Keep your First Class Ticket active. And never delete a missing KUID from a route config file without at least trying to find a substitute.

In Trainz (developed by N3V Games), every user-created or built-in asset is identified by a unique (KUID: “Kool thing Unique IDentifier”). Searching for assets by KUID is fundamental to resolving missing dependencies, installing custom content, managing third-party assets, and troubleshooting faulty or obsolete items. However, native search tools within Trainz have limitations, requiring users to leverage external databases, Content Manager filters, and community repositories. This report outlines the structure of KUIDs, primary search methods, common obstacles, and recommended practices for effective KUID searching. kuid search trainz
