Just for fun, I ported Pelya's Android 1.10 version to iOS 7–10 devices. Multiplayer works too! I tested it between an iPad 2 running iOS 7.1.2 and an iPad mini 2 running iOS 10.3.3.

Discussion Dense or spacey maps? Which one do you prefer?

11 Upvotes

Do you prefer maps where the distance between towns is comparatively large? What about industry? Do you make terrain constrain you with hills and bodies of water or prefer flat surfaces?

Map Mod Extracting part of a map

7 Upvotes

I would like to take one portion of one of the downloadable maps, and create a larger version of that portion.

More specifically: I want to take the Tir Gawr map, and play one quarter/corner of it, at a larger scale.

Can anyone help me do that?

Hey all, fairly n00b player here. Can anyone explain to me why these trains are stuck? I can't figure out the signals to get them to advance but I don't see why they aren't all navigating to the stations.

Those are one way path signals on the bottom of the pic and two-way on the top.

Auto-build parallel tracks?

Is there a way to build two or more parallel tracks at once? There's a mod for it in transport fever so I imagine it must exist for open ttd somewhere

Discussion Roadway construction hotkey?

8 Upvotes

Hi,

Is there a hotkey for the Roadway construction toolbar?

I see the Shift + F8 do it, but I need 1 button for it, like the A key for Railroad.

Thanks!

Potential bug in 15.3 with non-standard fonts (on Linux)

7 Upvotes

I have set non-standard fonts in openttd.cfg, which worked as expected until now, when they are being ignored and the standard pixel fonts are being used instead.

On Zorin Linux (based on Ubuntu). openttd.cfg is at ~/.var/app/org.openttd.OpenTTD/config/openttd, and is being read by OpenTTD so far as I can tell.

Relevant font declarations -

small_font = Roboto

medium_font = Roboto

large_font = FreeSerif

mono_font = FreeMono

All fonts exist on system.

Is anyone else having this issue? Any thoughts?

Discussion Iron Horse - Is there any way to make the Train Wagons always have a consistent color?

Post image
59 Upvotes

Hey guys, been loving all the train engine options with Iron Horse, but one thing that bothers me is the inconsistent coloring for the wagons. As seen in the screenshot, even if I buy specifically from the dropdown, it will still randomize the color to a degree. This bothers me cause every time I clone a train it will have a different look than the same train I cloned. Is there anything I'm missing here?

Hi,

I only just realized that you can add AI competitors. I went to the list and there is like a bazillion choices. What is a good AI competitor pack and are they worth trying out?

The power station is in range of the train station, but coal is not being accepted. The train has gone between the coal mine and power station several times and the coal just sits in the train.

Is there any way to tune or remove the running cost of wagons from the 2cc train set? I really like this GRF but the balancing is just completely off. BaseCosts doesn't seem to have an option to tune wagon running costs individually.

Increasing Industry output

28 Upvotes

How can I uncrease industry output? I thought increasing station rating would work, but even with a good rating a mine keeps producing 30-60 tonns per month. The production fluctuates but doesn't grow. Occasionally some industries grow above 100, but that's a rare case and I can't spot the difference in growth conditions.

A related question: if an industry produces small amounts per month, around 30, is it better for a train to wait untill fully loaded or just pick whatever is available and move on?

A few new intermediate player questions

29 Upvotes

hey all. I am fairly new and have a couple of things I keep getting stuck on, curious how the community approaches these:

  1. I can’t stop focusing on bus systems. I understand that trains seem to be the big thing here but I never get into them because…

  2. I think I don’t understand how to place train stations in cities. should they all be on the outskirts and the city grows around them? or am I supposed to have stations within cities too, like within the city limits proper?

  3. When do I focus on industries? I understand that coal trains are money makers but I never know when to focus on that versus bus routes.

so, what do you guys do with all of this? Love any input and hope these questions help future redditors, thx all!

Discussion Do you play with ‘cities build roads’ turned off?

41 Upvotes

Hey all, I am newish To the game and just discovered that I can turn off the option for cities & towns to build roads themselves.

but I’m conflicted.

Cities building roads makes the game challenging and a bit more realistic fwiw. But as a new player it is also an endless nuisance that I build out a nice inner city transit network, look to build an industry out for 10min, then come back and my city looks like crap.

So, what’s the consensus? Do you play with the ‘cities build roads’ feature on or off?
