What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
I just wanted to see what people thought of it or if It should be improved upon?

Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
I find the disasters in general need updating, bit more randomness, and more potential ones. The UFOs are a little odd, but that's from the original TTD i believe.
I think it'd be nice to have a landslip disaster, only affects tracks that are built next to tiles that go up several heights, and the side collapses onto the tracks. Would be a nice and realistic effect. Also happens frequently IRL.

I think the only disaster that can stay is the Zeppelin and the coal mine, others are way too odd.
We could have landslips, floodings, etc.

If we got rid of UFOs we'd have to remove this seal from the boxes
That'd hurt sales quite considerably so it's not happening.

Sales? OpenTTD? I've only ever played with disasters on once. I like some, such as mineshaft collapses but I don't like UFOs. Flooding, landslides and maybe even signal failures could be cool.

Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
I would play more often with the setting enabled if there were some natural disasters like the others mentioned or something like forest fires, temporary ceasing wood production or wholly destroying the industry. Maybe even earthquakes or tornadoes happening rarely, causing havoc in a large area of the map.
Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
There could be other climate-specific disasters, like starvation, which would reduce passenger production - and this disaster would happen until you deliver over or equivalent to 1k or more food each 6 months.
Other climate-specific disasters : avalanche, which would bury all vehicles in snow and stop them.

That would be such a cool and interesting idea!acs121 wrote:There could be other climate-specific disasters, like starvation, which would reduce passenger production - and this disaster would happen until you deliver over or equivalent to 1k or more food each 6 months.

Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
Well, it's the climate-specific disaster idea which is interesting. Also, i'd be for an option like TTDPatch where you can select which disasters you can have.

Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
One disaster that I really enjoy to see is the Oil Refinery explosion, unless I'm servicing it.
But there should be a few extra disasters added.

Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
I've just thought of another disaster that'd be cool but unworkable: oil spill/leak

Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
That would be so cool to see, I would think that it would halt production or something?Gwyd wrote:I've just thought of another disaster that'd be cool but unworkable: oil spill/leak
Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
Halt production, reduce remaining oil and stop ships entering the area.
Re: What's your Opinion on the Zeppelin Disaster?
This would be good to have a ship transporting oil, that belongs to a non-AI company breaking down, spilling oil around (so emptying what it was loaded with) and break down all ships in the spill. Because of ecological reasons, after 1970 (hippies, you know...) this would reduce your rating in the towns near the spilling.Gwyd wrote:I've just thought of another disaster that'd be cool but unworkable: oil spill/leak
Another disaster : pollution wave. This would happen in areas where many buses/trucks and non-electric locomotives are present. It would act like a recession : passenger production is severely reduced, and mail production slightly.
