Don't the towns grow to a ridiculously large size by the year 8000? They're too big by the year 2050 IMO, always grow over track making it difficult to upgrade it without demolishing half the town

With the patch you can deny towns to build roads, so this way they can't grow themselves unless I place some roads for them.
Besides there is no more room left for any city to grow anyway.

Rob, can you upload that map somewhere? I imagine it's going to be pretty big, but I'd love to see it!

[Rob]

Sure :

[Draakon]

Easy to do.

Nice scenario of Zeeland you have there, Rob! Do you have a link to the original scenario or can you upload it?

[Rob]

I have posted that already somewhere on the forums.
Let me see if I can find it.
Ah yes here it is.

BTW, I didn't make that scenario, I only found it on the net, somewhere.

That's a lot smaller than I imagined it would be... You really spent 8000 years on that?

[DaleStan]

I doubt it. That would have required starting in 543, something that TTDPatch does not support.

You could dig up peaces of unused sea for more network building.

As you can see on the screenshot, I didn't build much in the three visible years that you can see. This is true for a LOT of years. I enjoy to watch all my trains running around, waiting for each other and then resume their way, without ever crashing into one another. I barely have to intervene to keep all trains running. I have 833 trains, which is quite a lot for such a small world. The only thing I do build is to optimize some parts of my network even more, and to try out some new patch features when and if they are introduced.

And as DaleStan already stated I started in 1921, which means I have played 6641 years at this very moment. In real life that accumulates up to at least three years.
