@ Kickme93 - Whats with a capital letter for every word?

Isnt it hard to hit shift for every word to get that capital letter kickme??

[Trond]

Oh yeah! Works like a charm!

Well... I did intend to report that Valuables shed 'bug', but I always forgot it, but now its done, and I did (now) report it for 0.5.0 too, so

Anyways, this just gets better and better, I cant even think about playing my games without this now... I LOVE it!

May I suggest something more visible for my farmstation, to show if there are much livestock and/or grain at the station. Something along the lines of the mineral piles... Maybe a tile much like the new crates, only with grain-balls (? not sure about that english word, but the square balls appearing ingame on farm land). Would be neat!

You were close. "bails" is the word , and I like that suggestion.

You Know For The Road Addition To The Station?

Suggestion: Reckon You Could Make A Curved, 3 Way, 4 Way Tile To Make It Look A Bit Better When Your Making Junctions In The Station?

1. If you want to be able to access these forums much longer get rid of the red or orudge will toss you further than a Pioneer space probe. (Don't believe me? Do a forum search for keyword: red, author: orudge)
2. If you want to consider yourself in any way employable when you grow up, this is a good place to practice good writing habits. It also helps us to understand your questions so that we may provide good answers.

You forgot the /quote ill do my best for the good of this forum. Mind you it will be hard. Learning how to hand write and stop handwriting hard..

That's a good start. You'll find that it will be for the good of you too.

Actually there is a total renew of the roads, and it is almost done It will be in the next release...

They are going to be lowered to ground level, and redrawn from scratch. Now they are more like the roads in harbors. Realize that they have always been just "marks in the concrete floor to tell trucks where to go", not sepparate roads built within the stations facilities. That's why they are not going to have curves just like your in-game roads, but they will feature now cross sections that will allow for curves and crossings. Then, the access to the platforms can be achieved via the already existing platform ramps.

Ah, by the way: about the bails: can anyone find me pictures (aerial view is better) of bails storage? that would help a lot!

Remove the yellow too so that the Sub-Silver forum users are able to see. By the way ... I like the cat. Mine thinks she lives in a mosh pit.

I thought they were called "bales" instead of "bails" (but I'm not a native speaker)

What could be nice about farms are "group" corral/pig yard tiles with the same idea of mineral piles. They could get full when the station is full. They could even merge with adjacent corral tiles, if that's possible.

[wallyweb]

You should be. You're correct.

Sanchimaru: Here are even more pictures ... this time of hay bales

[Trond]

Now thats what they should look like...

[rbenevid]

Perhaps it would be better to use round bales as the square ones look too much like the (fantastic, awesome, superb) crate tiles?

[Trond]

The rounded balls (aka cow eggs in norway ) is way bigger I think, maybe thats a problem? But anything will do for me

[AndersI]

The rounded balls (aka cow eggs in norway )

UFO eggs in Sweden...

Its to do with what period it is. Pre-WWII, hay tended to be raked into stacks, sometimes with a central cord.

Post WWII, mechanised hay balers produced classic rectangular bales. These are still reasonably common in the UK, especially when the bales are intended for storage inside a hay barn.

Round hay bales, known as Big Bales, are post 1980s, and are generally used for sileage, so stacking them is less of an issue.

Industrial Stations Renewal v0.6.0

Which .Grf for the locomotives?
Looks like the UKRS.Grf

Am I right?

[wallyweb]

Ah, by the way: about the bails...

Suggestion:
The rectangular bales could be a simple recolour of the General Cargo crates. The round bales could be a recolour of the copper or steel coils. Then you could have some of each on the same platform. What colour you ask? Yellow for the sunny parts and brown for the shaded parts.

Next, a question ... Which cargo did you have in mind for these? Grain would be wrong as it is a bulk product stored in silos. However, they would be perfect for the fiber crops produced by George's ECS farms and accepted by his animal farms, among other industries.
