Best Bots and NewGrf

Hey which bot do you think is the best, I mean in terms of finances and which serves as a good comparison? And are there any that use ships airplanes and vehicles because I can only find some with one of those things? And which NewGRF can you recommend me to have the best gaming experience? Thanks for your tips

Why in-game speed of train is slightly higher when in pmnl? (corss-grfs valid)

For example, for this 2 trains from different grf's ingame speed will be +2km/h for no apparent reason

(why is important for me? on large map slightly different speed cause some issues with speed adaptation, from time to time, on fast trains)

Is it possible to do a passangers only save?

I was thinking of doing a train system just for passangers, the end goal I guess would be to have all cities connected by train and closer cities connected by bus. Is that possible? Will cities still grow?

Local rating at stations is stuck at 74%

Hi everyone!

I am TT player since its introducion in 1994. I moved to OTTD a couple of years ago.

I have noticed that some stations' ratings have been getting stuck at 74%. If I stop the trains it goes down but when I resume it never goes above 74%. This slows the rate of rise in industry production because as we all know it is best to keep a rating above 80% for the quickest rise in production. For now, I have noticed it happens with coal, oil from Rig, and wood.

On other stations, I easily keep ratings above 80%.

Is there a bug within the newest version or there is something is am missing?

why is this game so addicting

I decided to download it recently, and ive already put 50h on it, and im loving it. There is something so satisfying about making a train network and seeing 5 trains go on 2 rails and no crashes.

What are some fun moments that you have experienced/remember?

I'll start - Me and some friends were playing in coop, each with their own company. We had made it to like 2000 and one friend decided to leave (he wanted to go to bed, weak) so, the rest of us build massive pyramids around his central train station, when we came back to play the following day, he was suprised to say the least.

Need help with implementing engine variants NewGRF

Me and my two other friends are making a rolling stock NewGRF and are trying to implement them using an already existing and public NewGRF for engine variants https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/10220
(allowing one train to have multiple liveries, without having to use the inconvenient cargo refit function)

We tried searching on our own and found a bunch of helpful links, like the GETS implementation on github https://github.com/GarlicBread42/GETS/blob/main/src/ELECTRIC/BR_103_1.pnml , or this code for group templates https://github.com/George-VB/xussrset/blob/main/src/code-templates-groups.pnml ,
or https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/NML:Vehicles#Properties_common_to_all_vehicle_types

But we're still having issues and its not exactly working out for us.

Does anybody here know a way to implement such "variant_group" system in the easiest way possible?
