Cargo diagram

[welshdragon]

good afternoon,
I'm posting this here, although it comes also under OTTD and graphics

you know in Railroad tycoon, you can get a map showing you all the different types of industries?
I was wondering if one existed, and if not, would anybody like one? I'm quite good with flowcharts, and if requested, i can even include what vehicles are needed.

I believe George did one a while back for the stock TTD industries, before / whilst he was planning ECS with MB?
[Edit] You mean PBI, I'm not aware of any although Pikka may have one.

i'm aware of that one, but there's now PBI

It's not a graphic yet, but i want to make sure we get the thing right, as i can remember the industries and their cargoes i shall add them below

To start, a nice easy one

Coal (Mine) -> Power station
Coal (mine) + Iron ore (mine)-> Steel mill (Steel)
Steel (mill) + ? -> Factory (goods)

If you write it like this:

Code: Select all

digraph Cargo {
	CoalMine [label="Coal mine"]
        IronOreMine [label="Iron ore mine"]
	SteelMill [label="Steel mill"]
	PowerStation [label="Power station"]
	Factory [label="Factory"]

	CoalMine -> PowerStation [label="Coal"]
	IronOreMine -> SteelMill [label="Iron ore"]
	CoalMine -> SteelMill [label="Coal"]
	SteelMill -> Factory [label="Steel"]
}

you can generate picture like below with Graphviz:

That doesn't explain whether or not coal AND iron ore are needed or just one, or only one, or what though?

Though it does look nice
