[OTTD]Sabret00th's screenshots

Those gray tiles you are using around parks are station tiles?

[Sabret00th]

Yes, Canadian Stations Set>Canadian Platforms>Empty Tile(if I'm not wrong). They prevent the city from building in the inner areas and looks a bit like concrete.

I saw that in one screenshot you used jezukim (sorry if i spelled wrong) stations > brick station > empty title

[Sabret00th]

Yes, on the Highway Plaza I used the table version of the empty title. Unfortunately that's the only tile that can pass for such ideas...anyone willing to code some fountains, statues and plants as station tiles?

You have to admit this guy is awesome. Keep the screenshots coming.

Seems like it's not easy anymore to find something to shoot....from my experience I know that this is indicator for starting a new game. Unless you want to see something from this map, of course. Requests are very welcome!

You want the save game? Here it is, my friend :

Thanks.

Here are two teaser shots of the new game (which major features are even start for Swedish Houses and FIRSt use of a new industry set):

This is Gesby, cute old town, famous with its beautiful cathedral. We started a public transportation project here!

On the way to the meat packaging plant. Three lines meet there - from the left comes brand new food train, in the center the small packaging train goes to the manufacturing plant, and on the right at the middle line is the livestock train. Beef for everyone!

list of newgrfs please?

[Sabret00th]

Check page 3 of this topic, remove Pikka's Basic Industries and add the last versions of FIRS and FISH. Again, not all graphics are needed, but I'm too lazy to sort them out.

[Sabret00th]

Slowly like a big ol' steamer my trains started bringing me money, so I can build a few new lines :

A day at the farm - the local freight train transfers the cargo from another farm close by, the parallel platform is actually the middle line from the 2nd shot from the previous post (the livestock running on it), and the 3rd and newest platform is for the milk produced from the two farms. MOOO!

These two trains are part of the backbone of the company - they helped me get rid of the annoying waiting for money! I love them :) Here we can see them close to their end destination - the local powerstation.

Although I had some doubts about transporting milk in tankers, my experts told me that this is extremely contamination safe and the bellies of the tankers are washed before each run. And look at us now - we are literally milking money there!

Ta-daam! New station complex at the steel mill in development. One line brings in iron ore, one loads steel to....

...the iron ore - metal foundry complex here. From the left to the right : iron ore loading, aluminum unloading, steel unloading, packaging loading. Lets follow the packaging train to...

...this meat packer, which is the last part of the livestock network you haven't seen yet. The powerful livestock train passes the tiny packaging train. Hey there, lil' fella!

The line to the east leads to the first sand pit, where the train loads the available sand, and goes through here to fully load, then ventures in the countryside through this bridge. Unfortunately, the train has already departed from here, let's see where it is!
P.S. Remember the lil' fella from the previous post? He kinda grew up a bit and can be seen at the lower part of the shot.

We arrive at The Crossings - interesting place, where a lot of trains can be seen(well, actually four). A coal mine, yet unserviced factory are the other features of this screenshot.
And there it is the train! Just passing by the second crossing. Let's leave this freighter behind and see where is he heading.

Here we are! This is the local industrial complex, where the sand is unloaded. The other trains that can be seen here are the small scrap metal train between the huge structures, and the aluminum train that loads at the lower platform.

lovely screenshots, its a bit point to point lines, without any junctions, but the scenes are great, i see you have some nice industries, i might try those later on:)

anyway love the shots, thx for them

[Sabret00th]

I will make junctions, just so far my plan is to make simple lines in order to pay the million dollar debt I simply can't relax and think how particular design will work best when I always have to worry about having enough money. So you will see junctions soon, for example the livestock lines can use fewer tracks....

Glad you liked the screenies!

[Sabret00th]

I am improving my network! Not thanks to the good position of industries, though :

My first dump truck! I even bought second after that, but only to see the waste collection point closing short after that. I am starting to hate FIRS....

No more point-to-point lines, the company started to design more efficient and smaller networks. Don't know why are there so much signals on the station entrance, though....

The authorities in Gesby were in big trouble with the local house owners, who built their houses on the way of major town roads. Once again, the friendly F.II.S company saved the day by opening its purse and buying the problem houses at good price. That also allowed the company to build a few more bus lines!

Four more, I'll post them 2x2 :

Sand over steel here. You already have seen the sand train, but it's getting bigger....

And two special trains in this post :

Here we see the "Black Widow" train loading....uh, loading white wool from cute sheeps. What an irony....

This one here is "The Melting Alaska". We have extremely hot engine in front, and veery cold reefers behind it. Here the train bends a bit to take the proper line...
