Port Designs

[Buragan]

Hey all.

Recently I have developed an infatuation with trying to create a port which actually looks good. Currently I have the ISR, CHIPS, DWE Objects and station industrial tiles GRFs installed. However I am struggling to design a port which has an aesthetic appeal.

If anyone could provide their own examples of small, medium and large designs (I have already looked on google images), as well as a step by step design to them (if possible), I'd be really grateful!

Yours,
Buragan

Urgh, why didn't I think of that?! The go-to answer on the forum seems to be 'look through the forum' yet I forgot! Thanks! I'll still appreciate any custom designs that people have >_>

you seems to use only "stations" tiles, those are somewhat harder to use because you have to respect "the slopes" limitation.

So to avoid that Go on Bananas and download: ISR/DWE Newobjects

Then look for Michael Blunck Website, he has created Marico New objects

You can also take Supercheeses natural Object (SNO), there is some animated birds (awesome for fishing port)

So those as you can see are not "station" tiles, they are somewhat more easy to place where you want.

Note : with ISR/DWE object, many object are randomized (re-build them on same tile more than once until you get te one you want)

Once you have all that, you should be able to create your own custom port.

Being lazy, I dug some out of my older screenshots:

Medium, Marico/CHIPS/FIRS
Tiny, CHIPS
Medium, ISR/ISR-objects
Large, CHIPS/FIRS
Beach-objects, NewStations

Generally I just start with a rail station and/or industry, build hardstanding around it, quays/piers, then sometimes a breakwater.
Building rails onto the piers like this can look good, although that example itself is quite poor.

Now if You look thru the 45 pages of screenshots You could find some very good designs

I'm grabbing the MariCo GRF as we speak and already had the ISR/DWE one active (just forgot the names of all of them.) I should also add that I am playing on Android. Might have to shift some piles around and hire Mr Potter to magic the GRFs into the right folders, but I'm on the way. Thanks! Keep posting your own ones and I'll keep looking through the screenshots thread
