Pikka's Basic Industries (PBI) - 1.5 6th of September 2008

Basically, yes. A product of mid-to-late game power stations, used by brickworks to produce goods. Cargo classes will be as per Cement - 0210 Bulk covered/sheltered.

Fly ash wagon here. Very interesting addition Pikka:

Fly ash wagon here

What´s that? Overall length < 3m? Extra heavy ash?

Heh. It seems that modern Flyash operations use coal wagons (I assume that have been adapted).

5 metres, and yes, it's heavy.

I see. I thought it could also be transported in silos (the "pulverulent" class, assuming it ever got implemented)

Fly ash is a nice idea, its definatly something that can be profited from if you have the right connections

[michael blunck]

I thought it could also be transported in silos (the "pulverulent" class, assuming it ever got implemented)

It is:

Code: Select all

11	800	Powder-shaped material (bulk cargo needing special silo-wagons, e.g. equipped for compressed air unloading;
           for cargoes like cement, plaster, lime granulates, coal dust, plastic granulate or powder, PVC, metal powders,
           salt, sugar, semolina, ...)

Just add "coal ash".

In m4nfo, this class is named "POWDER".

Flyash is very small grained, and thus very dense

1.2 metric tons equals 1 cubic meter of Fly ash

so a 3 meter x i guess 1-2 m high x 1-2m wide is already something like 3*2*2 = 6-12 cubic meter = 8-15 tons (quick-calc)

[Raichase]

At least in NSW, "Flyash" (when transported by rail for a brief period) was carted around in pneumatic discharge "tankers", similar to this wagon:

I had assumed it was because it was so fine, any attempt to discharge it with gravity would be rather unproductive.

Regardless, always interesting to hear about new cargoes!

[Dave]

Probably an obvious question, but are you going to do era-specific industry designs?

[PikkaBird]

Not too overboard, but yes.

How do i install this im very confused when i go to the wiki: http://users.tt-forums.net/pikka/wiki/i ... Industries and i click the link: http://www.pikkarail.com/ttdp/grf/pikkindw.grf it just come up with a bunch of random code. how do i install this

[WWTBAM]

I would suggest you try the latest incarnation of this set Tai. Tai is available on the Online Content in OpenTTD.

it just come up with a bunch of random code. how do i install this

your browser is probably set up wrong, it should present you with a download for binary files. but you can (depending on browser) right click the link and choose "save as...", then save the .grf file at "My Documents\OpenTTD\newgrf" (Windows. for other OSes see section 4.2 in the readme)
