Diagonal would be nice, but not critical.Taschi wrote: 02 Jul 2021 11:08 But only in straiggt lines and without stops so they're not really useful as subway systems.
Rivers and canals are built on land, so a normal tunnel will do the job.Also, even vanilla OpenTTD allows tunnels under water, unless that water isn't an ocean.
My point here is that the biggest problem for subways in OpenTTD is that every station has to be above ground, taking up space and requiring massive destruction of city buildings. A subway with stations that are bidden underwater (at the shore, of course) could somewhat mitigate that problem.wallyweb wrote: 02 Jul 2021 11:41 Underwater stops are not realistic hence they are not necessary. (where would the cargo go?)
A station to appear and subway tracks that is to look like it is underwater would probably need to be built same way as the seaport airport. Close to the shore and have a non-track station tile to go on the shore such as a set of subway stairs. Most of it would be a optical allusion and boats will not be able to pass over it.Taschi wrote: 02 Jul 2021 12:03 My point here is that the biggest problem for subways in OpenTTD is that every station has to be above ground, taking up space and requiring massive destruction of city buildings.

Quite! Van Horne says you should move along. Foreman says don't get your feet wet.

Even today, the Ruhr area is still the largest industrial zone in Germany. This screenshot, however, takes you back to the year 1912 and shows in the lower left part the joining of the Ruhr river with the Rhine. Major steelworks, coal mines, and coke plants are found along both rivers and at the bottom right is the cast iron factory of Fried. Krupp where almost a century earlier the industrial history of the area started. Accidentally (and I really did not plan this) the picture - possibly shot from a balloon or maybe an early zeppelin - was taken on December 24th 1912 but there is no snow as is quite regular in the area, even before anybody ever got concerned about too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere - and as you can see, the factories, steamships, and locomotives are very busy producing it.
)A dense industrial zone between the cities of Brunton and Slaninghall. Iron ore and limestone mines, a blast furnace and a basic oxygen furnace, along with many truck stops, train platforms, depots, sidings and docks, and a high-speed passenger line running right through the middle.
In 1920 a band of Canadian malcontents settled on the Isle of X and sowed the seeds of an economical wonder. They established and formed the local authorities of 25 towns of which the central 9 were to be free of industries while they noted that the perimeter of the island was rich in resources. They commissioned Citiscape Tramsit Company (CTC) to put a plan into action. CTC quickly determined that the 16 towns outside the central 9 were to form an industrial zone. The results were quite extraordinary and the rest is history.
OMG, this is so huge

Cities and major railway lines are placed as closely as possible to their correct geographical locations but some industrial lines might be missing (otherwise I'd have to go to a 4096x4096 map or even larger

This zone consists of the Hump Yard from the right which accepts and returns 10 cargo.
DTC port with Bulk terminal and Chemicals modeled a bit after (BASF Ludwigshafen).
The zone serves the entire region, enjoy your viewing.
