city growing
So, if you grow citys, how fast do you grow them?
i grew mine from 1500 pop. to 20000 pop.
heres some screenshots:
the city starting to grow:
now at 21000 pop.
how fast do you grow your citys?
and whats ur methhod?
PS: my method is to make a small route around the town then fuel it with some town cars from the town cars mod
and then supplie it with some goods and then just add more roads stations and airports.

Re: city growing
Make sure you have 5 stations that are visited by a vehicle at least every 50 days. The rest doesn't matter.

With funding of the new buildinfs - 2 days.
Cities covered by 4 stations and served by 10-20 buses (each city).
Cities with 2600-2800 pop. in 1960th grows to 25000-30000 in 1968th.
No goods and no valuables transfered.
In OTTD 1.1.4 I need at least 20 years for growing to 20000. Or (maybe) used to few buses...
Re: city growing
I grew a city from 300 to 20.000 population just by extending the roads and creating a grid of 5-8 bus stations connecting to a single train station. Every year or so I fund new buildings. This grows the city rapidly, but I don't have screenshots unfortunately.
Re: city growing
I like to take a small town, somewhere in the middle of nowhere and grow that to the main capital. This way I can implement a wannabe-metro train line. In my current game i've grown the city from almost nothing to around 1.5million people (and still growing towards the pre-designed edges). It does take awhile do....
Makes me wonder, maybe should i make some pictures, but i'm afraid i'm not nearly as good in building trainsystems than you guy's.

What GRF sets are you using for these?
And any AI competition?

Don't worry about that. In the worst case you'll get some suggestions on how to improve yoursDragon wrote:but i'm afraid i'm not nearly as good in building trainsystems than you guy's.

then click on screen shot, then go to tinypic.com and upload it to it.
(PS: your pics are found in My doucuments/openttd
hope this helps.
Re: city growing
Better attach screen shots directly to this forum. This forum keeps data much longer than most image hosting sites.
Also, there is a separate 'screenshots' section that you may want to use instead of posting here, if you post a lot of shots.

Re: city growing
lets see...
and from far away...
it's growing everyday, it started as an incredibly small island with roughly 1500 population and i just built a ferry route, and buss rout at first and bought land for the airport.
other than though it's just regular growth i guess.

Re: city growing
What are you feeding that thing fertilizer? lol
Re: city growing
just lots and lots of throughput of passengers, also i started in 1980 which helps but the sheer amount of money flowing in from that ones point alone is madness, i have since routed the rail Mainline into the city to take stress off the airport.
Re: city growing
Any special GRF's you like in particular?
I ask because i just found this a couple weeks ago
and am LOVING it!

Re: city growing
all sorts really, that game was my first using the Japan set and the associated graphics that go along with it, other than that it's FIRS and AV8 pack for that game in particular (i do use custom station GRF's as well)
In fact, here is the list of what is in use in that game.
FISH helped very much in getting me started (began as a hydrofoil ferry company)

Re: city growing
When I'm playing a big map, I usually will go in to a town and set up a bus route that has five stations just to get the town to grow a little more before I set up rail. This way, the bus stations already have a base of customers waiting to be transferred to my rail station when I inevitably roll in a train station. By the time I get there, the town has grown quite a bit and is ready to accept goods, usually has a bank, and base of waiting customers begging to be transported.

You can set the liveries of different vehicles separately. The AV8 aircraft set has dual company colours. See http://wiki.openttd.org/Company_Colourssss wrote: 0_0 WOW. howd u make it so that the planes were blue with red engines and all thoose building textures?

FISH is only the best NewGRF for ships and other watercraft in existence. If you like to use ships in your games, FISH is a must. http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php? ... 35&start=0
By the way, here's one of my largest cities. The main reason it grew so large is because it is situated on an oasis in a large desert so it doesn't need food or water to grow, and there was nothing in the way to stop it from sprawling out. The biggest obstacle is the map edge
