FISHMANPET posted:Ugh, tried to build a passenger route but got angry when I realized the Automate time table patch isn't in this build. How do you do that, anyway? Set the train for Full Load, and the time table so that it leaves after a set time if there isn't a full load? I never really messed with it much.

The old version we used had an automate patch, so it would automate the trains so they were evenly spread out. If you had two trains, and two stations on a line, then they'd both be at opposing stations at the same time, and meet each other in the middle. You could just dump as many trains as you wanted onto the line, and they'd always arrive at regular intervals. You don't want to full load passengers, because their rates drop quickly as they wait longer.

That seems like a really good thing to have, and probably would have prevented me from abandoning a bunch of previous maps

I went back on the server, made a coal line, realized I made it too short, took out like 10 loans to make a longer one and now I'm in the red. Whoops.

Is there any way to make a line of one way block signals? I hate having to click on every single one to change it to one way.

If you Ctrl+click on a signal and drag in a direction it will auto fill signals at the interval determined in the signal window until it hits a junction. Is that what you mean?

Get your signal to be whatever you want it to be, then click and drag. When you click on a signal and drag, it builds signals of the type you first clicked on, not of the type your signal tool would build.

When auto buidling signals, remember to change the setting that controls the distance between each signal to the distance you want. It should be right-most in the signals toolbar. I think the default distance is a signal every 5 tiles, which is a quite a lot if you have a busy line.

I believe there was just an Automate button in the schedule window. Vanilla has an auto-fill button, which makes a schedule based on where the trains are when you click the button, but it doesn't keep the line balanced. Automate will keep the line balanced no matter how many trains you add.

Vanilla has a thing where if you have a train with a completely timetabled order, you can ctrl-click the start date and it implies that it spreads the timetable out among all the shared order trains, but I can't tell if it's working or not. I guess I need to dick around with it a bit more.

So, looks like 4 days ago the server was reset. Does that mean people are still multiplayer train-ing? I've been feeling the need to do some online logistical planning. I tried to join the server, but with the NewGRF pack in the OP I am getting GRF mismatches from Newships, Newstations, and Town Growth Challenge. OpenTTD can't find the right checksum online and it doesn't seem to like any of the versions of those newgrfs that I have tried to install.

Supersonic posted:Here's a map I created and have been playing/constantly trying to improve upon for a long time now. Its a rough model of the Eastern US and has two train mainlines. That's pretty neat. Is there a central hub where everything is shipped to and from individual cities? Or do you have city-level hubs with trains going directly to their destinations?

 I'd like to connect all these towns via rail, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Should I connect them via lines from each of the coastal/lake stations, or do something I haven't thought of?

I can't see any thread on this game called "Train Fever".. the dev's say its a re-invention of Transport tycoon.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0I36hV63-s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvO4I9mIOaw&list=PLpylDbHLx3ccYO8E4mZ-T5j-XMRaHah1R http://www.train-fever.com/ Looks very interesting...

No pre-signals and 4-way train junctions? Not nearly spergy enough to be like Transport Tycoon! Also, it must be really annoying to build world-spanning railways with that building method...

Diet Crack posted:No multiplayer either. The lack of signals was the first thing I noticed too. Train Fever posted:Signals are not shown in the video but will be demonstrated soon. Train Fever will support path signals which you may know from the OpenTTD project. Given the obvious TT inspiration, they're probably well aware of the features fans expect. There's more details on the train features here and here.

Yeah, from what I've seen it's basically a direct copy of TTD into another engine, which is fine by my books so long as they stay true to the rest of the mechanics. I don't mind the spline based tracks to be honest, I think it'll be a nice change if it's implemented properly. Needless to say if the reviews are favourable I'll pick this up.

The kind of things they chose to focus on in that video is kind of promising - "look, we made it easy to expand this single track to double or triple" and such. Cautiously optimistic.

It's been a drat long while since I've played and I know pathfinding is something that has been tweaked - but it seems like the way that is designed, the train is actually currently occupying the same signalled section it is trying to enter.
