I'm quite certain that cargo explicitly doesn't rot on the station pad, which is why full load is actually cool and good in the first place. It shouldn't be used at first, though, otherwise your ratings will be bad.

If you could find a nice map of the Iberian peninsula with portugal and spain that would be nice. Barring that I'd love a map of Europe. But yeah gently caress that mars poo poo and all those crazy rear end future trains. Let's just work with some nice chilled out trains.

I was out of town the last week, but I'm looking forward to the next map. The maps based on real places (north america, japan) were cool. It would be cool to do another one like that.

Every week sounds good to me right now. Just please make the reset on a weekend so those who want to dedicate some time have a better chance of getting in early, regardless of time zones  (It's 7:30 in Western Europe right now, Monday, I'll be at work for the next 8 hours. Most of a game could already have passed by the time I get home.)

Yeah poo poo Swansea got it going on. I'm turning Barcelona and Paris into paradises and I also came and stole London.  I also got this cool island in the Mediterranean and linked up the 3 towns with passenger trains and made an airport. it's a cool place to go on holiday I bet. I'm really starting to hate ships and Tankers and stuff though. Seriously it's the one industry I can't stand or ever seem to make money from.

Holy poo poo this is so cool, So I can see that my tourists are coming from Barcelona airport to the island (god knows which one it is but I will find out) and then taking the trains and buses to go on holiday. I love how the game tracks the tourists.

I hate when that poo poo happens, the amount of times I've been building a track between two places and then the resources disappear just before I finish. Does anyone know what exactly causes this to happen? Like are there hidden in game variables or something that might have any telltale signs that something will close so you know to avoid it?

According to the official wiki, only the service quality should affect industries increasing or decreasing production. Basically there's 3 levels of service quality (% of production transported), low medium or high, and every month one or more industries are selected to change their production. If an industry is chosen to change production, its current service level affects the chance of production increasing or decreasing. If an industry runs a lowest production for a while it will eventually close. I'm not sure how it works for secondary industries, since those stay open even if you don't take their production away but just deliver to them. They probably look at number of months passed since last delivery. But basically, if you can keep servicing an industry well to keep station ratings above 75% the industry should have very little risk of closing down, and should most likely increase production until it maxes out. (The maximum production of a primary industry is between 2000-2400 units/month.)

Oh also I was reading the OpenTTD wiki about all the different options and stuff, and I assume breakdowns and stuff are switched off on this server, does that mean I don't need to get new vehicles when I get the popups saying my vehicles are getting old?

Yeah when breakdowns are turned off (they are here) vehicle age doesn't actually matter much, apart from there probably being better alternatives available. The only place vehicle age stays relevant is in the cargo rating calculation on stations, and that's just a boost to the rating for having brand new (less than 2 years old) vehicles visiting.

I have 2 passenger trains stopping at one station and picking up passengers, but when they go to the other station they just literally go in and straight back out without stopping or dropping anything off. What's up with that? EDIT: One of them seemed to stop but the other one won't, and it's carrying full carriages of people from the other station. There are literally only 2 stations on the track and each train has it's own separate track. EDIT: The station is flagged as not accepting passengers? What the gently caress? mynameisbatman fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Sep 19, 2017 |

Does the orders list have both stations listed? And no special load/unload orders on any of them? E: Yeah if it doesn't accept passengers you need to get it closer to houses that do take passengers. You can e.g. build a bus station nearby, if you hold Ctrl while placing the bus station it will ask if you want to join it to an existing station nearby. You can extend the catchment area that way.

Yeah I already had a bus station next to it to take people to the airport, and I have no idea what happened but the trains suddenly just decided to start stopping there. Weird. Oh well at least it works now.

dat income graph is gross smh gang Protips to ya'll tho; I notice a few realllly long bridges or tunnels, you want to avoid this! You cannot put a signal on a bridge or tunnel, so the signal only pops up at the start or end of it. This can slow things down drastically. A tunnel is preferable to a bridge as it has no speed limit outside of the potential slow down on a slope, though that's usually true of a bridge as well, but the real preference is just flattening the land. Still, if you have to use a tunnel or bridge make sure you put down a "regular" track every now and then; tunnels are, again, best for this, as you can just dig down a bit to expose a track tile and then go back to tunneling every 6-8 tiles. Also, boats!

TTD isn't a difficult game, if you know what you're doing you'll take off. VIVA transport had the gimmick of (mostly) being constricted to France and made a billion off connecting forests to a sawmill and basically just had two networks before I got bored and made a cross map passenger service for the extra kick.There being terrain etc is just a frustrating manner of figuring out what's do-able for a quick buck before you can level the mountain down. If you want something more involved, you'll want to turn on FIRS.

Everyone boxed in Paris to prevent it from growing, jerks.mynameisbatman posted:Yeah jesus someone is invading my beloved Barcelona with hovercraft. I wonder if they're earning much money. Weirdly, passenger boats almost always work out, mostly because passengers always work, just not necessarily well. Hovercrafts are easily the best boats cuz they're hella fast and the second one actually holds a large amount of people, too. If you start the game late enough for hovercraft they can replace coal->power as your quick entry buck, mid-sized cities on the ocean permitting, though the craft themselves are pricey. They are the planes on water, but cheaper and easier to get. Also cuz boats can all swarm on a pier as seen by the hoverblobs it's pretty fire and forget. Hovercraft own. Never use any other boat tho.
