This set is for the eyecandy players.

This version of OTIS is created with the idea that the games starts with no Industries available.

You have to buy and place the 1 tile representing the Industry you want.

Then you build your Industry using eye candy objects and non-track stations.

The one-tile industries can easily be hidden behind some nicer looking structures and then stimulate traffic to areas where you otherwise, for example because of the lack of housing, wouldn't have that.

There are just 8 different industries, so you don't have to place loads close to each other.

But they accept and produce a lot of different cargo's, (in total 64 different cargos) so you can have many different looking vehicles visiting them.
These are the cargos:

You can also see what cargo's we have in the Wiki, with many thanks to Erato for adding OTIS:
https://newgrf-specs.tt-wiki.net/wiki/CargoTypes


How to play:

For instance if you choose Farms

- it will only be a single tile with sign boards
- you then use eye candy to build the farm type you want
- you can have it as one farm accepting and producing all the cargos shown above for Farming Lands
- or you can have a specialty farm only accepting and producing what you want.


The plan is to eventually convert a couple of the well known industry-sets into objects.
So that you can have graphics from various sets, economies and/or climates in the same game.

The industries are funded only, so they wont spawn at the start (or during) a game, but they are very cheap.
So the player has total control over where they will be.


You will need these main game settings:
- World generation:
- - Industry density: Funding Only.

Example612.png (16.75 KiB) Viewed 7854 times

- Environment:
- - Industries:
- - - Manual primary industry construction method: As other industries
- - - Allow multi similar industries per town: On

Example613.png (17.8 KiB) Viewed 7854 times

If you want to increase or decrease the production of an industry, use the "Enable Modifying Production Values" cheat.


If you want to transport the Electricity cargo, you will need a special GRF for that.
At the moment only WIRES is capable of doing that:
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=63356&hilit=WIRES
BUT!! Make sure you put WIRES above OTIS in your GRF-list!!

This seems like it'll be fun to play around with! Gave it a quick go earlier, there's only one thing so far that stands out to me a bit. Should 'Cars' not maybe be moved to Manufacturing Industry? As it is now, it's like the metals and such for cars are produced on-site (you can't send a metal train to a place to make Cars)

We would have loved to have done that, but... There are only 16 production-slots per industry and Manufacturing was full

It was rather a big puzzle to divide 64 cargo's over just 8 Industries
And as Cars are produced by heavy industries in reallife, it was kinda logical to put it there.

What you can do though is the following:

- Have one Heavy industry producing Metal (and maybe other things used for cars, like glass)
- Send that via train to a Manufacturing Industry that just accepts that and doesnt produce anything.
- Next to that Manufacturing Industry you place another Heavy Industry and let that just produce Cars.

Hide the industries behind/under some nice looking objects and it looks like its just a single car-factory doing its thing

[GarryG]

If any one tries to build a Industry and can not find a suitable object for it let us know.

If any one knows of a object set that would have that part let us know, otherwise I will try and make them.

I have most of the sprites for FIRS 1.4.3 and will add what I can of these to my Auz Industry Objects.

it's getting a bit unclear, I understand most of it, but I think people who play less may have difficulties.
I suggest that Garry do a NewGrf that connects all the necessary objects to OTIS

[Erato]

I love the concept!

So in Auz Water Addon objects you have these empty overlap tiles, which I think are great for OTIS, and I reckon hiding the tiles would be a lot easier if the OTIS sprites fit exactly within the bounds of a tile.

My plan is to convert graphics from other industry-sets (if their licenses allow that) into objects, that then can be used to hide OTIS-tiles.
This way you can have graphics of various sets, economies and/or climates in one single game.

Also new graphics can be made to hide OTIS-tiles ofcourse.

When those GRF's are made, I will put links in the first page of this thread, so it is easier to find them.

Good spot!
Will put removing the outer walls on the to-do list for version .02

[GarryG]

I hoping players not only want to use my object sets but those made by other coders as well.

The object set called FIRS and CHIPS has a large majority of Industries from FIRS including FIRS 4 and also many buildings from CHIPS. I hope to do any they might have missed.

In my object sets over on AuzObjects
viewtopic.php?f=26&t=75657

You will find many object sets that can be used.

Other object sets that I know of are:
- SNO-Supercheese New Objects
- ISR Object sets
- DWE objects sets
- CHIPS Industry Renewal style objects.
- Fridaemons Objects
- MariCo
- Industrial Stations set
- Romazoon Object set

if I forgot any one please tell us.

Your not only building big Industry complaes, but also shopping centres, residential zones, farms. mines, quarries and some on water as well.

Cheers

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. That's definitely a way to do it.

One thing I have noticed; OTIS makes Mail-carrying wagons take on the 'Freight Wagon' colour scheme, while other sets (like FIRS) make it take on the 'Passenger Coach' colour scheme. Is it possible to maybe make a parameter option or something to make it so OTIS also makes mail wagons take on the 'Passenger Coach' colour scheme? (See attachments in case my explanation doesn't make sense)

Hmm, Interesting

I think I know what may be the cause of that.
We also have a cargo named Parcels, that refits to CC_MAIL as well as CC_EXPRESS.

Code: Select all

cargo_classes: bitmask(CC_MAIL, CC_EXPRESS);

That may be why mailcarriages now have that behaviour.
We will check to be sure, will put it on to-do list.

[gravelpit]

it is not very clear how to make from large branch,, a sawmill that accepts only wood, for example, is it done in the game settings?, because there is nothing about this in the parameters of this add-on. Newgrf have potential .Maby for now just write possible eycandy objects to readme file?

[Quast65]

a sawmill that accepts only wood, for example

You can make that by using the Heavy Industry.
That accepts (Tropical) Wood and can produce Timber (sawn wood).
In this case use objects or stations (to cover up the Industry-tile) that look like a Sawmill.
It could indeed be that those object/station-tiles do not exist at the moment. But the plan is to convert the graphics of some of the major Industry-sets into Objects (if their licenses permit that).

By the way, the Timber you can for example transport then to Manufacturing Industry (which can produce Furniture, that can be sent to Shopping Centre).
Or to the Utility Industry, where the cargo-chain then ends (imagine then that it is used to make wooden electricitypylons)

[GarryG]

Started making more Industrial Objects mainly for this new Industry set.

These are what the Fishing Grounds & Offshore Industries looks like when you purchase them .. the buoy takes almost 2 minutes before it appears in the ,middle of the water splashes.

Helicopter landing zones_01.png (6.06 KiB) Viewed 7223 times

I had some Oil and Gas Rigs and some Sand Dredging objects.

These are single tiles with overlaps. Place them on the South West side of the buoy.

Helicopter landing zones_02.png (24.93 KiB) Viewed 7223 times

To add some interest to the game .. can now land helicopters at the sand dredging platforms.
Unfortunately the choppers cast a shadow when they have landed, but that a problem you will find also in the default industries and in FIRS as well.

Here the AuzIndObject set if you like to try.

[gravelpit]

you are absolutely right, but I mean the settings to extract only one industry from the tile, is that at all possible at this stage, I do not mean any objects.
Is it so that the tile must produce (accept) all or nothing?

[Erato]

Hey, I'm doing some bugfixes for DPRK trains, and I noticed that my stake wagons don't accept tropic wood. I fixed that, but I needed to look up that tropic wood was TWOD in the source code for OTIS.
It might be nice to have the cargo labels used by OTIS in the cargo label page on the grf wiki. I don't mind doing that tonight, but I'd need to know what colour you'd want "OTIS" to be (I want to reserve red for a future project if possible).

I also presume you took the incompatible newgrf list from the FIRS documentation? It doesn't have "EN\31\01" and "EN\31\02", the North Korean Industry Set v1 and v2 respectively, and "EN\31\03", the North Korean Industry Set v1 Fix.

[Quast65]

I hope I understand what you mean..

Do you mean that in your case you want the industry to produce/accept just one cargo?

Then the answer is yes.
Just send one type of the accepted cargo's to the industry and nothing else, and it will just accept that.
It can accept more ofcourse, but only if you deliver it

If you want to produce just one cargo, then only let a vehicle that is refitted for that specific cargo pick something up.
The industry will then just produce that one single cargo and nothing else.
Only if another vehicle (refitted for another cargo) also visits the Industry, then it will also produce that cargo.

There are no requirements to produce a certain cargo (also no boosts for that matter).
So you dont need to deliver something (or a combination of things) to get something produced.


So in this case there is not an economy so to say to play with.
Its really aimed at eyecandy players.
This GRF just provides (and accepts) loads of different cargo's, so you can have a lot of different looking vehicles driving around.
And you can also use it to get traffic to large areas filled with loads of objects and/or stationtiles and where there is no room for example for real houses and/or industries that need more than one tile.

Thank you, that would be nice!
Grey would be fine then.
Do note, that in some cases we use some labels to represent something totally different.
For example we have FUEL, that we call Natural Gas ingame. So doublecheck with the .lng for the actual ingame name.
Another example is Cotton, we use label SASH (Soda Ash), because it will make the waiting-cargo tile of ISR and/or DWE-stations look like a pile of fluffy white stuff

I also presume you took the incompatible newgrf list from the FIRS documentation? It doesn't have "EN\31\01" and "EN\31\02", the North Korean Industry Set v1 and v2 respectively, and "EN\31\03", the North Korean Industry Set v1 Fix.

Thnx, we will add those in v02. Its on the to-do list.

Interesting design decisions I'm seeing.
Furniture a bulk cargo?
Tourists OTI2 instead of TOUR?
Potatoes as "POTA", which is used by Potash?
Sewage as "RFPR", which is used by Refined products?
Marine supplies as "SESP", what is that short for?

[Quast65]

Thank you for adding OTIS to the wiki!

Regarding labels, GarryG had a rather large list with cargo-labels and what they refitted to (I think a larger list than the one on the Wiki).
I am not entirely sure, but I think they are mostly from FIRS (either in use, or planned to be used) and they also already had waiting-cargo-icons.
We used that list to find a suitable cargo-label, if that not yet existed for a cargo we had thought of.
The reason to use existing cargo-labels is because of the showing of certain piles of cargo's in some Station-sets.

Furniture a bulk cargo?

Yeah, that should be scrapped I think And just keep Piece-goods and Covered.
Will put on to-do-list for v02.

Tourists OTI2 instead of TOUR?

For the Workers and Tourists, we initially wanted to use YETI and TOUR.
But those cargo's didnt refit (or made available) the vehicles that we wanted.
For example TOUR had as a result that you also could refit certain large trucks for Tourists, which was, well.. odd
Therefor we made two new cargo's for those (OTI1 andOTI2)

Potatoes as "POTA", which is used by Potash?

After over 60 cargo's we just wanted to fill up the last couple of cargo-slots
We were not that original anymore with names, POTAtoes looked logical and it mostly refits vehicles like we would want.
Further more there is a link between Potash and Potatoes

Example615.png (180.54 KiB) Viewed 7021 times

Sewage as "RFPR", which is used by Refined products?

As above, we were looking at labels that refitted vehicles that we think were fitting for the cargo.
And sewage is a product that is left over when the body has refined food and beverages

Marine supplies as "SESP", what is that short for?

I guess SEa SupPlies
