Guys, perhaps it's time to get on topic?

Indeed.

Heres my station, I think it has 145 trains right now, the entrance is nice and fast (using the last PBS build), but I think the exit tracks need rearranging a bit.

My game on a 2048x2048 map, and this is my powerstation-station (lol). How should i do to improve it? it has about 40-50 trains using it. is it a good idea to make an entrance and an exit side? it will take a lot of rebuilding but maybe it's worth it?

Are the lines all single, or small networks? Making a RoRo is much better if there is a lot of jamming occuring from too many trains going through. Its more important if there are lots of trains

Lose the right-angled corners. Watch the speed of your trains when they reach the bends, then experiment with longer stretches of diagonal track.

with risk of showing my newbie skills, i wonder wath RoRo is? and yes, all tracks are single, smaller networks.

Roll on, Roll off. The term describes a station where trains do not turn around to leave, but continue out the other side.

Well, I just did it.. I must be psycic or somethin'... I'll just modify it, and then post a screenshot, and plz, be nice

As a said...

Hint: renaming a bmp image to .jpg does not make it a jpeg image

... Window's opinions to the contrary notwithstanding.

Nah, i know that, but i was able to upload the screenshots when i did, so it's not too bad, eh? jesus christ, this game is fun

You do know that microsoft paint can save real jpeg images? Just load the bmp into it and use save-as and choose jpeg.

EDIT: png is prefered though, and you can change openttd's options to save screenshots as png. Jpeg is more suited for photos, png for computer generated images.

Thanks for the tip! I'll do it right away

TrojanHorse,
When people swear when speaking, I usually try to ignore it.
But please do not swear in a written text or AT LEAST say "geez" instead, which is less obvious. There are chritians here.


Nice station, you seem to understand the concept of RoRo's very well

hmm ... been playing with building effectient (sp?) stations ... know that it would be better with RoRo but otherwise ... any ideas?

I've seen something simular done before, using all tunnels and no bridges.

It's good, but you'll find that judicious use of presignals will ensure that all of the platforms get used.

Here's a busy area near my HQ.
