I think a limited terraforming rule might keep you on your toes. Tiles can only be raised (or lowered) 1 height. per project. I'm not expecting you to remember what you did to a tile 39 years ago Also have you given much thought to how you'll handle the inevitable need for bi-directional rail? I also forget, did Locomotion have waypoints or was that purely an OpenTTD thing? Speaking of, Transport Tycoon veterans will be happy to know that trucks aren't an exercise in frustration and inefficiency in Locomotion!

Is there a dropdown in the Load cargo option? Edit: yes. If you hold down the button when you click the full load, you can choose what kind of cargo it is waiting for. I forget bnecause I got lazy and would just add dedicated trains for each cargo type. (This is a Veloxyll fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Oct 27, 2015 |

Robhol posted:Is that why I've never been able to turn a profit in OTTD? Every now and then I try to play that game and I always go bankrupt within a year or two because the short lines I make always lose money. If you're actually supposed to start with lines that are as long as possible rather than as short as possible then that seems like really poor game design for how unintuitive it is. It is possible to make a line too short. Plus trucks can be fickle to start with if that's what you're relying on. If you're travelling more than a screen or so though, it should be fine.

Basically, while the shared line is in use, if a train reaches the junction, it realises it can't continue on, and starts down the only available track instead of waiting at the signals. Which then means when the OTHER train arrives at the signals, it finds it cannot go on the line to the station, so hits up an alternate track. Fixes include: having ABSOLUTELY 0 signals on the shared line And the solo lines besides the intersection. Or have a holding area and use one-way signals to 'trap' trains on the shared line.

It's just missing something to make it properly good. Heavens knows what. I think my first run may have been a no trains challenge, so I missed the trains not being profitable glitch. It did only have 3 industries or something when I played. So no convoluted Iron/Coal -> Steel -> Goods routes. And no new industries show up IIRC. I think part of the problem is that TTD scratches most of the itches fans of the genre HAVE so it's hard to build on that without just making TTD again.

Did not realise the trucks drove off the end of one way streets like that. And maybe I was thinking of 2nd or 3rd generation trucks, because those guys seem a little grained in. Why no flowthrough station? Is it slower in the end or? Or is that only an OpenTTD thing Veloxyll fucked around with this message at 10:57 on Nov 10, 2015 |

I feel you should at least build some bus routes for the low approval towns, just to get that rating creeping up. Also, only 1 house stands between us and a vinyard -> winery route. Could also hook a farm up to a food processor or brewery with trucks. If only they weren't so questionably effective at this time. Though it must be getting close to the next grade of trucking.

You forget the other trick of building a depot on the end of a competitor's station, then telling your Jinty to go and ignore signals. It would travel far enough into the next, occupied, rail to crash into the parked train. both costing the opponent a train, and tanking their transport ratings at that station.

Ahh, 3'6" gauge. How you caused so many problems for us getting our vehicle going. Turns out electric motorised bogies for 3'6" are really hard to get! I can think of a few times when it'd be handy, but a lot of the time you can get around it using a well designed track.

Which is much easier than in transport tycoon where you had to manually upgrade the rails. which lead to ~fun~ with multi-line networks.

Glazius posted:Does the game run out of relevant names when it picks names like "Farm 3" or are those just, like, the names the map was seeded with? Basically, it tries to name the industry after the city. So you'll get London Farm. Or Christchurch Coal Mine 2 When an industrty is too far from a city or it can't figure out which city to put it in, it drops the city name, so you get Farm 3.

we have a Trans-New Zealand passenger service on the land lines right. And/or a stops all stations? That's about all that spring to mind. That depends entirely if their simulation includes the plane randomly explosively decompressing because the windows are a bunch of squares
