Brilliant artwork - but poor setting of the elements...

I'll try to make a photo of a real power plant to give you some insight how it should look.

ENOGROUNDSPRITE.

Also:
- Did you want electrical sparks on the transformer blocks? If so, you should probably draw them (seperate building sprite for each frame of animation); I could try to hack TTD's sparks on, but it wouldn't look as good.
- At some point, I'd like to see some construction stages.

Looks pretty good; should I replace the old version with this, or add this as an alternate?

go ahead and replace it.

Heres the ground sprite I forgot.

Here is the third construction stage of the Oil power plant.

Interesting Born,just what about the Structer for one part of the building, where bricks arnt laid sorta thing. So you could add some inside graphics, such as an empty room, that would be interesting.

Im progressively going backwards, so that will be stage 2. stage 1 will just be foundations.

Also, working on two things at once I want to preview my new Fishery. Although currently newindustries doesn't allow building of industries, Csaboka has said "not yet" which kind of implies its going to be or is a possible feature or hasn;t bene looked into. So I did it anyway.

It still is really unfinished. Also remember this is a large industrial Fishery and not a homely small private business.

very good
I hope to see crane animated

aswell that empty space to be filling up while cargo is gathering

Looks good, but it should be less empty, and what about changing the white of the buildings into company colors?

Can't be done. Production cargos are stored at a station, not at the industry. A guess can be made by checking transported cargo percentages, though.

SHADOW-XIII · Post by **SHADOW-XIII** » 19 Jul 2005 08:42

or amount of cargo produced a month

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 19 Jul 2005 12:20

Its still being worked on Purno so the empty aspace will be filled.

It will also have to be funded by the player or placed in Scenarios. As the generator is going to rarely put it a tiles off shore where there are 4 straight tiles.

(I also need to draw 4 views of this.)

Born Acorn I'm sure you're keeping in touch with Csaboka and the excellent progress he's making. Your work and his go hand in hand.
I wouldn't worry about making the game build these. The game gives enough for a basic start so that the player can start building up some capital which the player can then reinvest in your industries. IMHOP this is much more realistic, and challenging too.

Couple more of these and we could have an Industry Set.

people, don't make the new industries TOO large!

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 19 Jul 2005 22:57

normal industries are only 3x3/4x3. Mine is 4x3

DanMacK · Post by **DanMacK** » 19 Jul 2005 23:19

Don't make them too big?

The Steel Mill should be like 5 tiles square minimum IMO. These industries are HUGE.

On another note... Looking Good BA

That fishery would be a cool addition. One question, what will the cargo be? Fish to a food proc. plant then food?

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 19 Jul 2005 23:21

If we are to be realistic about it, the steel mill would be more than a screenful. That would be nice, yes, but impractical with the small TTD maps.

Yep, thats the plan. Ill have to have a graphic for the fish good.

Should we refit the default foodvan to hold fish or should I use my fish van graphic from deep in the OTTD graphics forums?

Here is Con 2 of the Oil power plant

krtaylor · Post by **krtaylor** » 21 Jul 2005 23:58

Some of those oil storage tanks, would also work nicely with the oil station of the Industrial stations set.

Born Acorn · Post by **Born Acorn** » 22 Jul 2005 14:02

Yes you can use it for the industrial stations set.

Here is the first construction stage and a mock
