Realistic ships/trucks

[ZxBiohazardZx]

hmmz at least give me more docks or more/better looking docks (including some containers, some more action/station like.... (i know to much work?)

a setup like:

--------DDDD------------------------(land)
--------DDDD----------------------
````` DDDD
```` DDDD

where you have a 2by 2 docks only 2 tiles for the ship to enter and 2 graphics tiles for random stuff@ docks

Have you tried the Harbour/container station GRF? Its very useful. Id still like to attach more than one 'dock' to a station but for now the harbour GRF fills a big gap!

Here is a mock-up I made using it...
(The extra docks are actually different stations seperated by roads!)

Simply put a max lenght on briges again, then you have to use ships across sea's

or up A LOT of land (still very profitable if you can afford it)


btw nice add-on however im playing OTTD, so will it work there? i dislike the colors of the stations a little bit, but i will download and see it;)

I think a massive increase in the price of landscaping would help A LOT. This would make trains unusable in certain situations, especially if track laying and maintaining prices are increased. Then ships become more affordable for crossing large bodies of water and trucks become more affordable over short but difficult terrain.

i do have the nice addon, however missing the nice other stations you have there, and the disadvantage of that set is that it only shows goods on the station if there are more then 200 waiting goods ammounts...

but again, better then nothing:)

did you know that 90% of the worlds transport is done by ships?

[andythenorth]

bigger capacity boat / different running costs / profits for boats (make canals worth the massive investment)

How about river barges, as used on the Mississippi, Rhine etc. They would need to be:

- moderately expensive to buy
- very cheap to run
- quite slow
- very long lasting

Replacing the standard ships with sprites for barges would be fun and they would be more in scale with the size & capacity of trains.

Even better would be articulating the barges and being able to add more barges to a tug to create a barge string / train. This would be a lot more complex I guess.
