Fed up with trees ruining your mountain tops?

Post by SwissFan91 »

Well, I know there is a tree-line height patch coming soon/out, but I have found a semi-fix for the annoying sight of trees on your Matterhorn ;) For those people using OpenTTD 1 beta 3 or later, here is a step by step guide.

1): Back up your scenario.
2): Play the scenario, and fast forward to June (to make snowline retreat a fair distance)
3): Save it as something (rock.sav) and quit OpenTTD
4): Change the .sav file to a .scn file
5): Go back into OpenTTD and into scenario editor and find rock.scn
6): As long as you don't change the year, you should still have a high snowline (changing the date will reset the snowline to January)
7): Now, place rock everywhere where snowy trees appear (I would recommend not putting rock on the tiles that have small specs of snow on.
8): After having done that, you can press *Random Trees*, or plant as many trees as you want, and the mountain areas will never get trees on. Also, trees will never grow there during the game.

Sorry if this seems a really simple method, or maybe even if there is a simpler way of doing it, but I enjoyed it anyway. Also, I have a hidden agenda here. I am thinking of putting this into my South Germany, Switzerland and Italy scenario, so I wanted to gauge public opinion. The crucial thing here is that the rock will never be seen, as after June/July the snowline begins to descend again.

imo a crappy job to do on bigger scale scenarios, it works, but its to much work for me, you can clear them ingame, trees grow slow anyway, and ill wait for patch
