I love setting up a network to make some money, only to come back 20 minutes later and find it's gone. 15 goons is too many goons even with a 10000x10000 map.

I'm gonna install this on my work laptop for those quiet days. I'm not gonna be playing online with it, so does anyone have good suggestions for AI that doesn't decide to build railroads randomly over every tile on the map? After some quick browsing of the AI forum, I was thinking of rolling with some NoCAB and SimpleAI to start with. Anything else I want to throw in there?

Ugh, its annoying you have to basically CRAM the station inside a city to get it to accept goods. You can put it at the edge for passengers just fine, so whats with goods acceptance? I inevitably piss the local authority off trying to get a Ro-Ro station positioned so I can offload goods. I guess I should go for a Terminus, but I don't have much experience with those yet.

You can ctrl+place a bus station or something closer inside the city so the station accepts goods without being that close to the city.edit: Also the terminus design that is in use in a bunch of the cities in the game right now is a pretty solid design and easy to copy.

Seeing this game played on a server with a single, enormous rails network going everywhere simultaneously overloaded my geek centres in my brain and made me appreciate real life complex networks all the more. This happened years ago but I'm taking this thread as a sign I should have a peek once again!

I don't know how many trains there are to build in your version, but I was working on a GRF with Dred a while back to make some extra trains that slip in with the default stuff to add some balanced variety to the stuff that comes with the base game. Things that add a train or two in the beginning, some old tech trains that help those slow to adapt to the the rail tech. e.g. a decent electric train that comes out after the monorail train as well as 'beta' trains that are basically early versions of the new rail tech to help those who have joined the game later and can utilize the tech quicker. There we some balance issues, mostly the power output not being done correctly. SO I'm going to whip up everything and see if I can patch it up

Had a play around with how the passengers and their wanted destinations work on the current server. Would there be any disadvantage to running a huge ring system and shuttling trains stopping at each city to cover it all? Seems the easiest way to handle it from the play I had. OpenTTD experts wanted to explain how I'm a newb and "network Xyz" is preferable if that is true! I have to ask, why has there been such a mania about upgrading trains this go round? I saw £200m of new choochoo's between Freight and Passengers in just 2 years go by just now?!

I believe we can all see that boats are superior, with this scenario as proof. In 1970, having been constructing hovercraft for 2 years and had a profit only 200k-ish off from the tons-of-dosh passenger people. That's a lot of cash in two years. Of course, I reached 'peak boat' and couldn't really input any more on the map, but that's still a lot. Long live boats.

You probably saw a big jump, the 2cc trainset has some extreme jumps in train quality in the late rail / pre maglev game. Also, I can say I'm not a fan of cargo destinations. I think my mail line caused more problems than it was worth. Still, all worth it to help try and unfuck Tervatitty.

Peak plane is over 8 on the current server, though. One of these days I'll rack mine back up. I like the current patch / GRF set but I want PLANES EVERYWHERE for my passengers.

Also the passenger service becomes human trafficking. VVV Lumber is sent to printing presses, which produce counterfeit cash which is sent to banks. Thompsons fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Sep 2, 2011 |

Lumber can still be shipped from forests, but the only place that accepts it are Burning Pits, to piss off the environmentalists.

I made (stole) a simple tracks newgrf that has low speed rail, high speed rail, electric rail (highest speed) and metro tracks. It also keeps monorail enabled (instead of replacing it like the metrotracks set the server uses). What I need is for you people to test it and tell me what you like about it and maybe the server could use it (since lessthanthree likes monorail trains but everyone likes metrorail, so both would be twice as good). edit: also rail/electric trains can run on metrorail too (but not the other way around). piratepilates fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Sep 3, 2011 |

I like metro as well. I just get irritated that monorail is eliminated in order to bring in metro. Anyways I will test the GRF. edit: suggestion. normal/metro should be able to run on metro but electric catenary shouldn't. less than three fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Sep 3, 2011 |
