Automatic timetable separation

Post by MachtiSonni »

Hey there,

new user here. A veteran with TTD though. I got the original game for Christmas something like 20 years ago and I'm thrilled that this great game has been remade into a modern form.

Anyway, I like having vehicles perfectly separate each other so that the distance is exaclty the same between all vehicles. I know how to do this in the trunk-version using the Ctrl-Click on the start date after autofilling the route and modifying it if need be. However, is there a patch that does everything automatically so you can just select "Figure this out automatically" and I never have to touch anything even if I add/remove vehicles or upgrade them. I found some patches but they're anything between 3 and 6 years old.

Thank you!

Is this what you're looking for? - viewtopic.php?f=33&t=46391
Also, a few patchpacks include this as one of the many patches as part of the pack. I personally use JGRs patch pack, which has the above and a load of other absolutely amazing features, which are listed in the first post of that thread, and it's a simple case of extracting the folder and running the openttd executable.
