Auztralian Industries (AuzInd)

[GarryG]

Thanks ISA .. eventually like to do a Track set similar to NuTracks and the Very Slow tracks will be these rusty looks and the fast one make shinny.

See the Fake Sidings idea I working on over in the Auz_Objects.

When I get these sidings all finished, then I will change the Industries to suit.

Cheers

I hope to replace some Industries in the AuzInd160 with new graphics.

Where possible try and replace them with buildings designed from realistic buildings.

The Carriage Sheds is one such building I working on.

The top building is what in the game now.
The bottom one is designed from the Eveleigh Car and Wagon Shops in Sydney Australia. Any one who travelled on trains from Sydney towards Strathfield would have seen this building on the right hand side of train between Redfern and MacDonaldtown.

Not sure how long will take me but as I finish each building will put a update to AuzIn160 here .. I will put on Bananas after I have done several buildings.

Cheers all

Finished conversion of the Carriage and Wagon Workshops.

The pic in a mixture of the Carriage and Wagon Workshops from the Industry set and from the AuzFakeRailwayLines_Add-ons.
The first four doors from the top left are objects .. the rest are part of the Industry.

By using the AuzFakeRailwayLines and AuzFakeRailwayLines_Add-ons with the AuzInd160 you can make the Carriage and Wagon Workshops as long and as wide as you like.

At the end of the 3 bottom doors are platforms from ISR set and the end one with the shunters cabin is from the Chips set.

If you like to add this to your games now here's the NewGRF file Version 22.

Any one who would like to use these buildings with their own Industry Set or other projects here's the sprite with the buildings separated so can shuffle them around to suit how you like.

Both fruit plantation and arable farm claim that they accept fertilizer, alas it's impossible to build a station within their catchment area, that actually accepts fertilizer.

I tested it in vanilla ottd with only auzInd and auzTrains loaded in all 3 climates, so I can (halfway) safely assume, it's a problem with the newgrf.

Apologies if that has brought up 564x before and gj, auzInd has quickly become my fav. ind. set.

Hi Pia,

What version are you using? The version in use now AuzInd160 Version 22 does not have Fertilizer.

If you prefer the version your using, I'll see if can fix the problem and place it in this forum for you to use.

Cheers

What version? Good question. One of those ..*counts* ..4 . Never trust a content downloader.

Well, found it. Even more amazing. Thank you very much

Glad you brought this up .. I just checked Bananas and the latest there is Version 18 .. I thought I updated it to Version 22 last month.

I better do something about it.

Thanks pal

EDITED:

Just added version 22 to Bananas .. it has new graphics for Carriage Workshops.

I have a few more buildings to add to AuzObjects_Rails concerning Locomotive Workshops and a few others .. when these finished I be altering the graphics in AuzInd160 to match the object sets.

I intend to make the Industry graphics a bit smaller and you can than use the objects to make the Industry as large and to what design you like.

There're inconsistencies between the industry info/industry chain and the actual accepted cargo. I.e goods shed B says 'goods/alcohol/parcels', but a station in the catchment area accepts building materials/goods/vegetables. Loading bank B says 'building materials/Wood/Fish', but the actual station accepts supplies instead of building materials.

Thanks for letting me know .. shall see what I can do.

By the way what is Vanila OTTD 1.6.1?

[Alberth]

Thanks for letting me know .. shall see what I can do.

Cargo-chain window only lists what's in the "prod_cargo_types" and "accept_cargo_types" properties. If you accept other cargos through the tiles only, they won't be listed.

Thanks Alberth, so possible I have them right .. but good that he mentioned this as checking through each of my Industries I do have a wrong cargo listed .. not for what Lollipop mentioned but for the Arable Farm .. should be producing Wheat not Grain which is only a minor thing.

So I will check all the others to make sure they ok while I am at it.

Cheers

EDIT:

Lollipop could be right too .. just found an error with the Goods Shed as I have the accepted cargos listed different

Code: Select all

item(FEAT_INDUSTRYTILES, goods_siding_tile, 231) {
 property {
  substitute: 0;
  accepted_cargos: [[GOOD, 8], [FRVG, 8], [BDMT, 8]];
  land_shape_flags: bitmask(LSF_ONLY_ON_FLAT_LAND);
  animation_triggers: bitmask(ANIM_TRIGGER_INDTILE_CONSTRUCTION_STATE);

and further down I have:

Code: Select all

               name: string(STR_IND_GOODS_SIDING);
                nearby_station_name: string(STR_STATION, string(STR_TOWN), string(STR_STATION_HARDWARE));
                prod_multiplier: [2, 0];
                input_multiplier_1: [0, 0];
                input_multiplier_2: [0, 0];
                input_multiplier_3: [0, 0];
                prob_random: 24;
                prob_in_game: 10;
                prospect_chance: 0.75;
                fund_cost_multiplier: 140;
                remove_cost_multiplier: 0;
                accept_cargo_types: [GOOD,BEER,ENSP];
                prod_cargo_types: [ENSP,GOOD];
                }
            }

No matter how many times I check thing .. I still seem to miss things.

Thanks fella for bring this up.

[GarryG]

I been right through every Industry and found a few issues where accepting Cargos was different between the 2 sections in the codes.

Here is version 23.

AuzInd160.rar

(1.19 MiB) Downloaded 162 times

I haven't had a chance to test it in game play as time spent fixing has delayed my in some house work I need to do. Either be later tonight or tomorrow before I get chance to game test it.

We know Version 22 not work properly so this one should be improved and hope ok.

I made a few changes:

Fixed some cargo issues.

Change name of Good Shed B to Goods Shed (Small)
Change name of Wool Broker to Wool Storage Sheds

Shopping Centre now produces Mail (as it has a post office)
Arable Farm now produces Wheat instead of Grain.


I like to make new graphics for the Grain Silos .. the one in game now make it bigger with more rows of Silos to represent a Bulk Grain Storage and make some smaller single rows of silos to represent what you would find at railway sidings.
Farmers would deliver their Wheat and Grain to the Railway sidings and than later it would be railed to either flour mills or to the Bulk Grain Storage to wait export. If a farmer lived close to the Bulk Grain Storage or Flour Mill he would deliver direct to there.

By the way what is Vanila OTTD 1.6.1?

"Vanilla", in the terms of OpenTTD, means the original version - not patched, forked, or any other derivative.

Thanks Kamnet .. just wasn't sure it meant a different version.

I haven't found any other problems, but run in a weird issue. In the attached screenshot, the clay pit shouldn't close, ever. It happens in every game, but it only happens once (so far) and only clay pits.

What testing I did they hadn't closed .. but I only tested a few times for about 1/2 hour each time while I checked each industry make sure they producing and accepting correct cargo ..

How far into the game before that happen to you?

[Lollipop]

It always happens at 1. Apr (hmm..if I think about that date..), and it's always a clay mine. In the following 10 years or so it wont happen again. Just pointing it out, for the sake of bug hunting, but for me it's low priority

Making a fool of us by sound of it

Strange as I ran a game in the background started in 1960 to 1978 and no Clay Mines closed.

The coding for the industries I got from FIRS and SPI and took out what I thought I not need, so it possible I took out one line to many.

Give this a try if you can and see if same thing happens ..

I'll do some experimenting too and see what happens.

Appreciate you letting me know of problems.

I could probably test and test and never get a problem but other people might as they play different to me, or maybe it a conflict with another NewgRF file ..

[Lollipop]

The closings happened in my standard firs grf setup, except firs swapped for auxInd. So it might be very well a conflict with another grf. Prolly not worth spending time on it, I'll run the new version (one day I'll get a game past 5 y, I swear) and see what happens.

Thanks

I ran a game last night with the new AuzInd and started with 2 Clay Pits .. one closed after 5 years but the other did not close. I didn't provide at transport to them.

But as you mentioned before strange that if just the Clay Pits closing and nothing else as I watched the coal mines and Iron Ore mines and they didn't close.

Thanks for keeping me informed.
