FIRS Industry Replacement Set - Development

[NekoMaster]

Hey I was wondering, though its nothing major, could you some how add info for the power plants telling you how much power they generated last month so you can see if your trains are actually delivering enough fuel or coal to the station. Another thing, when was the first official aluminium plant built in real life?

One more thing, do producing industries like oil wells, forests or mines produce more if you provide good service or when you deliver supplies?

Hi Andy,

What're the chances of getting a honey farm sprite so we can add it as a food-producing industry?

Wilkes

[NekoMaster]

Oh another thing, though I know theres 57 industries already and 60's the limit, why not add a univercity, accepts goods and passengers and outputs passengers and waste

[EXTspotter]

No, requires passengers, food, goods, beer (you have a brewery?) produces passengers, waste, glass, fertilizer.

re: university

No, requires passengers, food, goods, beer (you have a brewery?) produces passengers, waste, glass, fertilizer.

...and should be implemented as multi-tile town buildings (i.e. houses in nfo terminology). So any of you feel free

@Wilkes re: bee farm,
I can draw it but you'd have to code it. It would be a FIRS Add-on. Find me a source image, and indicate exactly how many *years* it would take for the bees to produce one ton of Food cargo

General note: I don't draw on request. Not unless I've known you for the last five years, and possibly not even then. Wilkes falls into that special case.

thank you

Hello

I can´t find trains for this set - can you help me please?

Download a nightly of FIRS and read the file wich says "read me!". That file tells you wich sets support the FIRS cargoes.

Tschö, Auge

[NekoMaster]

For the guy that cant find trains

2cc Set Works
NARS 2.0 Works
UKRS Works
US Renewal Set works
Japan Rebewal Set Works
Spanish Renewal Set Works
Serbian Renewal Set Works (I think)

Canadian Renewal Set (0.2) does some of thw cargos but you should have another set to use its wagons (though this doesnt always work)

Also for road
Long Road Vehicles v4 Works (mostly)
GRVS and eGRVS works

The above names might not be exact, but you should figure it out

[Brantwan]

it works with the canadianb train set i just tried it

As above, CanSet 0.2 covers *most* cargoes, as does US renewal set.

if you use the engine pool feature ('enable multiple newgrf engine sets'), and use both CanSet and US Renewal together, I think you'll get full cargo support. I'm playing a game that way.

The HEQS road vehicle set also has full FIRS support (as you'd expect).

Im always using a bunch of Train and Road sets, even 2 PLane sets (Av8 and Plane Somthing set)

I usually use UKRS, NARS 2.0, US Set, Can Set, Tropical Set (I have it in there because I like some of the trains you can get, plus, I wanna use the one in the future, but i never get that far T^T ) and the Serbian Set, mainly cause I like some of its trains and, some of the wagons are handy, like the OPen Wagon or the Huge 100K Liter Tanker (or was it 180K?)

Oh, I also use 2cc, havent be using much of the trains or wagons, but its there In case I want it (and for the TVG and the Metro Commuters)

For roadsets I use eGRVS, Generic Tram Set, LRV v4 and HEQS

Hey I was wondering, though its nothing major, could you some how add info for the power plants telling you how much power they generated last month so you can see if your trains are actually delivering enough fuel or coal to the station. Another thing, when was the first official aluminium plant built in real life?

One more thing, do producing industries like oil wells, forests or mines produce more if you provide good service or when you deliver supplies?

The first aluminium smelter went into service in 1889 in Pittsburgh. Check the site of Alcoa.

Ahh... but what would they use it for? They didnt have air planes yet, nor did they have cars using it, maybe... I wouldn't know for sure...

[Brantwan]

i've noticed something about the firs with the lv v4 if u have a truck hauling grain it doesnt use a dump truck it uses a box truck same with milk it wiesnt use a tanker truck and it seems to do that with the canadain train set

[DJ Nekkid]

botteled milk?
crates of grain?

[NekoMaster]

Or Jugs of Milk and bags of grain (which would both be better for small industries like the bakery if it accepted milk too)

The NARS 2.0 Covered Hopper can do Fruit and Veggies, I was thikning, maybe at the farm or plantation they turn the stuff into juice on site

Sheep Farm. Sheep might need improving. Baaaaahhhhhh!!!

Nice sheep farm.

Concerning the sheep, it's my feeling that they need to grow a bit. Somehow I currently have the impression of chickens instead of sheep (maybe it also has to do with the seemingly v-shaped (~three pixels in a curve) form of them.

Me too. Anyone want to redraw them?

I added 1 pixel on the back and moved the leg a little bit. Better or worse?
