[OTTD] MrMox's Screenshots

Post by MrMox »

Since I've been playing OTTD for a couple of week now, I now feel fully qualified to inflict some screen shots from my current game on the world :)

The basics:

Nightly build r9542

GRFs:
  • Transmitter
  • Stolen Trees by SAC
  • Container Freight Station & Harbor
    I really like to build my freight stations with this one. It's just so easy to build something good-looking in an modular fashion.
  • Industrial Stations v0.98
  • Aegir Freight Stations
  • NewStations v0.42
  • Aviators Aircraft Set (av8)
    So far I have never used any kind of aircraft in my games, but at least I'm prepared.
  • North American Renewal Set
    Playing NARS in sub-tropical climate has rapidly become a favorite, followed by NARS in arctic climate.
  • American Transition Roads Set v0.85
  • Total Town Replacement Set v3
    Doesn't come into play in sub-tropical.
  • New Build Costs by Pikkabird/DanMacK
    Been doing some experiments with modifying this one, so that tunnels cost 4x, bridges 8x and terraforming 16x, compared to the original pb_build.grf. What can I say, I'm a sucker for punishment :twisted:
    This game is with the unmodified pb_build.grf though.
Current game is NARS in sub-tropical, medium difficulty (with 0 competitors), realistic acc., freight weight multiplier 5 and probably some other settings I have forgotten.

Have fun :D

1927: Penhall West has grown. Now a double line runs to Lewisborough, with a sideline to the copper mine and a new sideline to a water plant, supplying Lewisborough with much needed water.

1926: A passenger and mail service has been set up between Lewisborough and Trubridge to the south. Now all Lewisborough needs to grow is water. With growth it should also begin to accept the goods waiting at Penhall West.

1923: The line between Lewisborough and Penhall West runs close to a copper mine. Since Penhall West is close to a factory it would be a shame to miss the opportunity.

I agree entirely with you, I adore this set! Cant wait til the renewal comes out 8) I like the way you have set out 'Penhall West' by the way. Small, but looks effective!

The only thing that is a shame is that Aegir hasnt textured his stations a little more.

Screenshots are good, however, i find that having four platforms with only one line using one platform a little unrealistic.

Going on of what pookey said, it would look a whole lot better if they went onto two tracks not one. But besides that they're great. Keep'em coming.
Interested in helping out where ever possible.

Thanks all!

@Wierdy: Well, it's obviously not some über-efficient, cash cow network I'm building, but it does turn out a decent profit each year. At the end of the first decade all debts have been paid. I have a screenshot with the various graphs that I'll be posting.

@Pookey/Nextra: Yeah, my passenger stations really need some attention :) As much fun I have with Penhall West, I got lazy and plunked down some default stations as placeholders for future expansion at Lewisborough/Trubridge. I really should start to use the NewStations grf. I would have liked to use the US stations grf but I get some graphical glitches with the large station.

@Ben_K: Can the Container Freight Station really be improved upon? :shock: That's one to look out for!

I sometimes get glitches with the US stations, i think there is a length or platform limit. Splitting the station in two usually fixes the problem.

Length is definitely an issue. Anything above 6 seems to cause problems. This also happens if the US stations grf is the only grf loaded.
Attachments
By adding a section of length 1 to the station of length 6 three times this is what happens.

Improvements at Lewisborough, expansion at Penhall West.
Attachments
1935: A new farm has been included in the supply chain for Penhall West. The side line joins the main line at Lewisborough Mines. Quite soon deadlock occurs.

Does anyone see a problem with the sorting in the second image?
Attachments
1936: Lewisborough has not grown in size, despite it being supplied with mail, passengers, food and water. A second mail and passenger line to the town of Old Greabourne to the north east is opened in an attempt to get some growth.

That deadlock is the sort of thing PBS is good for - if that was a PBS junction, the food train would be able to go.

(Oh, it's OTTD :oops: )

Nice screenshots. :)

My first guess would be that the profit numbers get updated more regularly than the sorting, so the train which apears out of order just made some profit and the sorting is only updated every x seconds

Making money of passengers and mail is a real pain. Towns have hardly grown, with Trubridge as an exception. An express line between Trubridge and Treedberg to the far south is set up, and is unique among the passenger lines in that it actually makes a profit :)

1947: Moving on to freight Wreaby Forest links to the express line and supplies Treedberg with food.

1943: Trubridge continues to grow and finally starts to accept goods (on and off). A direct line to Penhall West is promptly set up.
