Not obvious? Hmm.

Well, it makes the Lumber Mill from the tropic climate accessable in the other climates.

This NewGRF is just a preview version, I am interested to see, if such a GRF would be usefull and what "Options" you would like...

Actually I like the idea. Having a Lumber mill is good means to stop trees growing all over the map and having you end up with a map which consists of urban area, water, tracks and a wood which never seems to have seen a human being for eons.

An idea is to set the wood chuck search radius via a grf option.

I think I might experiment a little with this one...
Once I finally finish my current game.

Neat :)

Not very related to this topic, but making the paper mill and printing works, plus the paper cargo, appear in the tropics would be nice too...hmm

Very nice, Ammler! I always liked the lumber mill, but usually prefer temperate some of the grfs I like are intended only for that climate. Please add this to grfcrawler (if you haven't done so already), so that I can find this again as soon as I've fixed up my computer.

Ammler, this is a really nice addition to Temperate and Subarctic forests.

Perhaps it could increase production (by factor 2) and with it also amount of trees it "axes". ;-)

just add a 2. LumberMill :-)

The cutting is "hardcoded" in the source and should be changed to random choser not radial... (for temperate and arctic)

Hi all,

Just here to report a problem with the lumber mill grf, i'm using OTTD r14575, and my GRF configuration is as appears in the linked thread...

http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=40469

Basically it appeared to interfere with livestock road-vehicles, with or without the eGRVTS road-set. At first i didn't realise that eGRVTs required in-line depots for many vehicles so i had problems getting them to go to various destinations, but even once i removed eGRVTS my livestock vehicles, from any set, wouldn't go to even in-line stations. Only when i removed the lumber mill GRF did they work correctly, with or without eGRVTS...

All savegames/scenarios and full description of error are at above link... I just thought i'd better report this problem in the lumber mill thread :D

Cheers

JCB

How should a .grf with only 7 bytes of real code do any harm? :P

Seriously, I doubt that. And indeed it works OK in TTDPatch both for train and truck livestock transport.

Hmmm, possibly just OTTD having a grumble with my savegame then, reasonable to think seen as i've loaded and unloaded GRFs into it so many times trying to work out what was wrong. I will start the scenario again, with all the GRFs mentioned in above linked thread, and the lumber mill and see what happens :mrgreen:

Cheers


Edit: OK, yep seems to work correctly now. Thanks for help in both threads :wink:

Not so fast :wink:
I've been wanting this in Temperate for a very long time and now its here. Thank you very much. :bow:
Now here is a suggestion for that final touch of excellence:
Several grf files now allow for snow in Temperate. How about a snowy version of that little gem? 8)
