Hi Yellow, this is a death zone, the town probably built the road over the tracks themselves

The local authority probably doesn't appreciate all the herses they need to supply, there's a death at least once a year there if not .ore frequently.

Today's SP challenge: Start a 64x64 map, 4-5 towns, industries "funding only", vanilla everything, try to grow the towns to fill the entire map.

Nothing more on that. I've been too busy preparing for vacation in Japan, and have arrived now. I expect to not play much OTTD for the next 2+ weeks :)

And by the way, version 1.8 RC1 was released a short while ago, I don't think it has any really significant changes so I'd say just stick to 1.7.2 until 1.8.0 proper releases.

So I will learn to live with it. Because I can live with it. I can live with it.



Does anyone like (one tile) rivers? I'm not sure why I enable them during map generation. I don't like how they look on the map, for a while (idk about now) you couldn't build them (so once you destroy a tile you have two disjointed rivers), they don't deform the terrain (so they're just these one tile weird looking rivers, if they were slope,water,slope like a one tile 'lake' then they would look good), and I don't play with ships so they don't do anything for me.

I feel like they should have spent the time developing rivers as one water tile wide but with slopes on either side.

Just bomb the rivers when you can afford it :)

Good news! Developers are on track to possibly massive improvements in ship pathfinding performance for next major version.

A small-ish map (512x512 maybe?) with few industries? To force some competition.
But everything basically standard, with flat-ish terrain, "random" map edges.

There's too many signals around that station. Doesn't follow the rule of thumb for PBS: "Don't place a signal if a train stopping there could block other routes."

Sorry, I didn't read your post.

I'm too busy replying to what I wish you said

:allears:
Is cargodist not turned on for valuables? I set up trucks to run them to airports and they refused to deliver them because the airport itself wouldn't accept them, even though there were routes to other places that would.

Thanks for running this, been a blast learning the game and I apologise if I've run the clock maybe more than I would if I knew what I was doing from the start.

Joined and saw most of the map is built out, so I just made some weird bus routes and stuff. And a pretty profitable coal line to pay for it all.
Didn't set a password on the company, go ahead and fiddle with it whoever joins.

Any timeline on when you will start a new map? Very few things left in this one that aren't already taken.

Huh turns out I accidentally left the "Busybee" gamescript enabled in the scenario. It gives you a bunch of goals you can try to achieve, but none of them are mandatory. They can just be annoying if you don't care for it.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

I remember originally playing this (OpenTTD, never played the original) and at first I was disappointed in not having more control over city planning.

Then I realized that that's what Sim City is for, now I get to play Virtual Planes, Trains, and Automobiles without worrying about plumbing and police coverage :toot:

All the city planning you need:

1. Explode city block
2. Plant lots of trees
3. Bribe city council
Repeat
