[WIP]Industry Project

[Villem]

Ok Here Are Industries/Mods to existing Industries i am planning to do:

Add new product type to Oil Refinery:Plastic
Add new Industry Type:Toy Factory(Produces Dolls(Requires Plastic), Toy Cars and Trains(Require Plastic). Model Is Done, needs a "skin" and few other tweaks via image editing program.
Add New Industry Type:Candy Factor,Produces Candy(Requires Sugar for the candy itself, plastic for wrapping).
Add New Industry Type:Sugar Farm(produces Sugar)
Add New Industry Type:Slate Quarry(Produces Slate, i will do this if i find any good pictures and if i can pull it off).
Add New Industry Where to take the slate..
Add New Industry Type:Gold Ore Mine(Done)
Add New Industry Type:Bank(Thinking of methods how to get it around cities only,well i do i know i could make it a city building and make it accept gold, but i dont know how to limit it per city >_<, and it needs new graphics desperately).
Add New Industry Type:Gold Smelting Works(working on this already)

I would love to have the armored cars back.

The Toy Factory Model...

[Spader]

How about make it like this with the gold:

Gold Mine (produces raw-gold) -> Mint (melts the gold to gold bars or coins) -> Bank

Or even more sophisticated:

Gold Mine + Chemicals Plant + Paper Mill -> Mint (melts gold, makes money *paper and coins*) -> Federal Bank or Gold Reserve or something

/Spader

[Villem]

the gold cycle is already Gold Mine>Smelter>Bank. Been for a while.

[ChrisCF]

There's no such thing as "gold ore". Whereas iron is mined as haematite, and aluminium as bauxite, gold is always found in its elemental form, since it doesn't react with anything. Hence, it only has to go somewhere where it can be melted down reformed into "valuables" (coins, bullion, jewellery, etc.), whether that be a mint or a jewellery.

An interesting chain to model might be bauxite mine --bauxite-> aluminium plant --aluminium-> factory. You have the option of either producing goods, or combining with food input to create canned food.

The problem with slate is that it comes as you find it. You could take the output fo a slate quarry and stick it straight on your roof. Perhaps another job for the factory? Perhaps the generic factory can be altered in such a way that different factories have different functions.

[Villem]

The Gold ore comes from straight translation of Finnish Word.
And only reason i thought of slate, is cause i see A LOT of pictures of UK Slate Wagons For NG(im also trying to obtain some British NG train models and wagons..)

[Ravenone]

For Slate, how about:

Slate -> Home Improvement store -> Goods

some what similar to Iron Ore -> steel works -> goods

[ChrisCF]

The second step would need to be a processing industry - retail is invisible. I suppose the best name we have for it is "slate works". It would be nice to ship Welsh slate out of the mines

So, slate mine --slate-> slate works --goods-> town ?

[Villem]

Hmmm probably.

[JTanczos]

Granite quarries and slate quarries -> Stone Processing plant -> Goods -> Town

I like the banking idea.

I do have one problem. Is it possible to increase the number of industies on a map?? 16 isnt very much when ya think about it.

slate mill is what the industries are known as. Wierd though, the buildings for the mill are usually made from larger chunks of slate!

Would be good if you could make the slate mine eat away at a mountainside too!

How about this:

Make City buildings produce waste. Transport waste to a incinerator facility where it can be burned.

Then in 1980 a new industry will develop: A Recycling Center! The Recycling Center will convert 50% of the waste into Recycled Materials which in turn can be transported to a Factory so it can be used for Goods. The other 50% will be burned in the Rycycling Center just like an Incinarator. Eventually, the Incinarator will become obsolete (lets say in 2000, 20 years later) and only Recycling Centers will be allowed from then on.

City (Waste) --> Incinerator

and

City (Waste) --> Recycle Center (Recycled Materials) --> Factory (Goods) --> City.

[The Fjonis]

Very cool ideas. Is it possible to implement them into a downloadable mod already - does one have the tools necessary to do so? I saw another thread where they are toying with similar things. Incredibly cool if it could be done - it would open up for an infinity of new opportunities.

[Ravenone]

I really like the city waste idea. DUnno about the recycle center, but having a city produce passengers, mail and waste would be cool.

[Villem]

The Waste thing i won't make, cause i don't think theres 3 slots for citybuildings to produce something, and i don't want to go to much trouble or replacing game buildings.

[juniorsordi]

I have some sugestions to make:

- Make Supermarkets grow in the citys. you take the food of the Food Processing and transport it to the supermarket

- Make Automobiles factory. First have to make the plastics factory, so take the plastics, iron ore, coal and oil(or fuel) to make automobiles.

- make harbor to produce fishes, transport the fishes to the Food Processing and make food.

I like the idea of Nuclear Power Plant. but the smoke have to be white, for more real...but if someone want have anithing fun, make the smoke green.

Sorry by my poor english.

[ChrisCF]

Nuclear power stations don't spew smoke, they put out steam, like every other power station.

[Villem]

ah maybe i did not make my intentions clear, i will do anything that i am intrested, not something somebody else suggests, i only take suggestions to my existing ideas(as long it does not relate to 1 or 2 more industries chained up to it). Any help with the gold smelter facility or bank or texturing the toyfactory would be appreciated.
