How to transport tourists?

[IvanStryper]

Hello, my question is how to transport tourists??? Can you help me? Thanks!

Get a vehicle set that has vehicles for this purpose.

Also download the industry chain featuring Tourists from GRF Crawler or in-game in OpenTTD

What makes you say they are using OpenTTD?

[BillionDollarMogul]

OpenTTD 1.1.2 with all the latest ECS towns, vectors, and current vehicles set (machinery vector disabled improperly loaded) with all other industries functioning.


Problem: Tourist center will not accept goods/food/passengers nor will it produce tourists despite abundance of available resources and adequate transportation. More than 93 days has passed since tourist center was erected (directly funded by Company).

This particular tourist centre decided for itself not to accept goods or food at all (see the industry window), so it will just refuse to accept those.

As for tourists itself, it only accepts 540 a month. If you deliver more, the rest will just sit in the station until you pick them up again.

Lastly, passengers are not tourists. While I agree this is rather confusing, tourists are a special cargo that is different to passengers. It also needs different (refitted) vehicles to carry them. I bet if you deliver actual tourists, the industry will also start to accept food and goods.


And welcome to the forums! Next time please select the place where you post a little more careful. This is the transport tycoon forums and as the description says it has nothing to do with OpenTTD. A better place would have been the ECS Vectors topic. But don't be put off by that and don't hesititate to post again! We have moderators to clean up Hope this answered your question though!

Ok I finally figured out that 'tourists' come from town centers, and are NOT generated by the tourist center. You know, that's not explained very well in the wikiOpenTTD thing....



Thanks for jogging my brain...now I can start working on my Trillion Dollar plan!

Good you have it figured out now.

You know, that's not explained very well in the wikiOpenTTD thing...

That wiki is aimed at the default OpenTTD behaviour (which doesn't come with tourists). Addons such as an ECS Vector NewGRF generally provide their own documentation (as it has nothing to do with how OpenTTD works per se). In case of ECS Vectors there actually is a very extensive documentation here: http://www.tt-wiki.net/wiki/ECS_Vectors
