FIRS Industry Replacement Set - Development

[NekoMaster]

I had an idea earlier today for a possible 3 industry nuclear chain. A urainium mine, a CANDU reactor, and a waste processing plant.

Urainium Mine (w/ on site processing plant)
Requires : Engineering Supplies
Produces : Fuel Rods

CANDU Nuclear Reactor
Requires : Engineering Supplies, Fuel Rods
Produces : Radioactive Waste

Waste Processing Plant
Requires : Engineering Supplies, Radioactive Waste
Produces : Fuel Rods

BTW, to make this OpenTTD freindly and profitable, fuel rods come in single, tiny un-enriched rods which are used to make fuel rod bundles for CANDU reactors which dont need enriched urainium.

Search this thread for uranium. It already had been proposed (and discarded I think)

Yeah, I've posted it before but earlier ideas have been flawed in that in real life, Nuclear reactors only need so much for like, 50 years at a time. If the above idea was used, then it might be a little more transport tycoon friendly without being too unrealistic.

I need to make a decision. Sugar Refinery: with or without large brick building?

Without.

[oberhümer]

I say without, the brick building looks too thin and doesn't really fit the other buildings stylewise.

If it would possible to use like this!
1. Brick one with some kind of "barrels" form start
2. Brick one and modern look comes in like 70's or 80's
3. The brick one will be demolished and the modern one remains maybe with some new add on!
AFAIK there were possible different era buildings in industries chain also?

But still say without

[Dante123]

without.

brick building is too mich different from the rest of the industry style.
although a color changes might do the trick too ?

[andythenorth]

Without is better. It will be gone in FIRS 0.6

Fine with me but it looks hmmm... modern is the right word I suppose! But uhhh who cares

[kamnet]

I like them both, I think the brick style fits in earlier games, say, pre-1960?

[Kjell Bjarne]

Yes, without is better.

In my childhood I have once been to a sugar refinery, with my uncle who was delivering sugar beet. The most impressing were the tall and very long stockpiles of sugar beet which took the half of the complete area.

Added some greeble (lumber stacks and crates) to the Furniture Factory:

[planetmaker]

Ah, yes. A definitive improvement!

[DanMacK]

We like greeble! Looking good Andy!

[andythenorth]

A little something me and DanMacK are working on: Iron Works (as a source of metal before Steel Mill is available).

[Alberth]

Such tasty pixels!
Nice work

[NekoMaster]

NICE! I would love to have that in my game! It'd be nice if it could get generational graphics since even in modern times you still need to refine ore into Iron before you get steel. Also, aside from producing Iron, im guessing it might also produce basic supplies (made of iron)

[andythenorth]

Iron Works details:

First year available: 0
Can't be built after: 1900

Accepts: Iron Ore, Wood (representing charcoal)
Produces: Metal

Production ratios: not very good (inefficient)

Aw, its not going to be used to produce Iron to send to Steel mills? Also, couldn't you also send coal since its a fuel and can be coked for carbon
