Build lots of trees and the authorities will like it... Using the ttdpatch's plantmanytrees switch, this is a lot easier :)

Bribe the authority, if you have the money for it. :lol:

The local authority thinks you are very poor or apalling. Building trees and funding will help...

You don't honestly think that *I* would come up with one did you!?

err .yes ... there are two ways ... one, the easiest is to put tree in one suqare (one corner of the city), and then put tree (with CTRL now) on the other side of town (other square), then all squares in rectangle that you selected by those two trees will be filled by trees
what are you looking at? it's a signature!

I dont think funding raises your rating..
In a fit of madness, extravagance, eccentricity and sheer boredom, I demolished an entire small town, built them a road network and funded new buildings, (around 20 times), yet my rating reamined appalling even thought they use dmy millions of dollars (cheap aint it?)
This is my truth, now tell me yours.

If i just need to clear something I have a different approach than when i want to build a station. One way i get around the local authority and my appaling rating is to maintain a 75 percent share in one of my competitors. I then 'manage' them and destroy what needs to be destroyed.

If i really want a new station and local authority is adamant despite trees, I switch to managing the competitor, build the station, and then buy the other 25%.

What i am interested in is why i get such a rating in the first place. The passagers are blissfully happy, the station ratings are outstanding... perhaps building large airports and stations too close to down does this.

You are quite correct. Lots of landscape changes, demolishing trees and blowing up roads and houses all affect your town rating. Please see: http://wiki.openttd.org/Game_mechanics# ... ity_rating for more information on the local authority system.

If you have other stations, like bus stops, already in the town, you could increase the frequency of bus services a lot? Doesn't this raise your rating in the town by raising your rating at the stations?

Your point being? The thread resurrector had a valid question. Would you rather he created a new thread instead of using the search feature and posting in an existing one?
