On my old computer I had a new grf that had tracks which included urban version of the lower speed tracks and I can’t figure out what new grf it was. Does anyone have any suggestions what it could be?
Hi all. Apologies, as I’m sure this has been asked many times but I’m looking at getting into mods/flavour packs.
I’ve recently got back into playing openttd as my four year old loves trains and we can decide where to build and transport together.
I’ve seen some screen shots posted on this sub with some great looking re-skins and additional content. Where is a good place to start diving into this treasure trove? Ideally I’m looking for a single download that will give the game a more engaging look but doesn’t make the logistics chains too complicated.
Thanks.
I watched tutorial videos but they skimmed through how to make transport lines and the processing so everything I'm starting a new fame, I'm losing lots of money, where do I start if I want to become good in this game?
So the way this currently seems to work is that all trains have "auto separation" turned on by default, but it does nothing until you press "automate" too. So I use this and it's great and then I decide that line will wait for full at a station from now on. Naturally you no longer need auto-separation, and it even warns about that.
So I press the "automate" button again to turn it off. But I still notice weird waiting behavior. So I think hm it has timetable info now so maybe I need to disable auto-separation now too. Still weird waiting happening. So, like how do I actually clear and reset this properly?
at this point this series is anything but daily and I would like to apologize for that, that reason why is that I recently was playing more multiplayer so didn't really care and I just really got bored but now I have posted day 5
so there has been a small change and it is that I decided to improve the tracks that go into the factory by adding a tunnel to improve travel times
along with that I also decided to make a new branch to a small town called "sedwood"
and also I decided to make an airport since I plan to use airplanes to make connecting the cities together faster
sorry if there wasn't much, this was just a small update
Recommendation on DLF, cargo generation settings and the likes for a 4096 by 4096 map?
Using JGRPP, and so far ive been ok with a DLF of 16 iirc. But im wondering if i want a slower gameplay, say 35 DLF, if i should change other cargo related settings? As before i didnt change any of those and the games been going alright.
So (I think) you're supposed to have 3 or 4 bus stops for maximum growth.
I setup a town with 3 Stops and another town with three stops. I added buses that stop at all of them. It seems though that the bus picks everyone up from one stop, then drops them off at the next nearest stop... With little profit!
Am I doing it wrong? Well, obviously I am, but how should I be doing it?!
Looking for more complex industries, as the base ones have all ran their course it feels like. I've heard of FIRS but not downloaded it yet as I'm only a few days into playing and would like to know the up to date 'go to' any recommendations? I'd also be interested in other mods that are popular for other reasons. Thanks!
I'm new to the game and this is my first big station. I know its awful but what do you guys think.
I loved this game when it was released, really enjoying getting back into it. Spent maybe 2 hours already had fatal train crash
Me and my friend play this game alot, one thing we found out however there aren't that many interactions between players. We're wondering whether or not there are mods also that make the economy much more realistic and have some sort of a way better stockmarket type system?
Currently hold 640 trains with 2 lines in and 2 line out.
I've recently got a 4K monitor. I've made the main toolbar big enough but the construction toolbars (rail, road, etc) and landscaping toolbars are still microscopic. Is there a setting or grf that can help?
Hi all, I am new to this game, but can anyone tell me why my rating falls back to mediocre? Never had this before?
Thanks in advance!
I wanna get more challenge in playing the game, heard that inflation is not really recommended even for more difficulty in playing the game, but havent seen much discussion here about infrastructure maintenance.
So I joined btpro nl firs server work that's a lot of different industries and big supply gains, I was looking at a casual game and was overwhelmed lol. Went back to n-ice citybuilder 2k :p
Tho I may win games but get no points as apparently my performance rating sucks, but the town gives me outstanding. I guess its the station ratings I need to improve.
Im getting there I think, have trains collect full loads so there is always a train at the station, run multiple trains but smaller loads so I still make bank.
Also discovered on here a trick still trying to figure out, could just transfer from truck stop at a coal mine to a train station just out of coverage. Have a lot of trucks, so coal mine always getting a pickup and train station gets a frequent delivery of cargo.
So I was getting this msg for my town, as I did such a good job of supplying coal, the town started complaining lol. What's that about and if I don't address it does it cause the town to not grown, I noticed overtime my town went down in pop.
Also still having a problem of hitting a wall at 1.5k and struggle, have to go further put I guess. I guess I mid gone fatigue and don't wanna build a long train line. Thus I need of going the plane route. That helps address the passenger mail flow as I just find a far enuf away city and fly to my town. Produces enough.
Problem is I can't use air for ore, coal or oil :(..
