This is my first attempt at a proper network

ConductorBob · Post by **ConductorBob** » 19 Jun 2005 00:12

Not bad but I'd suggest a minimum of 9 cars on each train.

dodo · Post by **dodo** » 19 Jun 2005 08:10

I use 20 cars on each train (and it DOES work)

Griff · Post by **Griff** » 19 Jun 2005 08:41

Yea, its just the gueling task of sending trains to depot and adding carts e.c.t, basically this was just an attempt to see if i could do a network correctly

This is the only instance in the whole map of a long train....and its not connected to the network, dont worry

I would suggest using seperate grain and livestock trains...

Argh, attack of the killer signals!

@JPMaster && Dodo

U should not build on every Tile a Signal. Thats not good for the traffic.

I thing all 3 to 5 Tiles are more as enought.

This is not only my Opinion, i have read some tutorials for TTD, TTDPatch and OpenTTD. There are many with the same.

And on the I.T.C picture. U have the Signals for the RoRo Station missplaced.

In Entrance u should u 1 Pre Signal (Yellow Horizontal) and direct before the Station u should use Exit Signals (White/Gray Vertical).

thanks for the tips FoxAlpha and Purno, I'll have a try and see if it works better.

(my solution does work too

Here are some shots of a network I made. The scenario I created has only 1 factory and 1 food processing plant. Everything goes in there, and the goods and foods all go to the cities.

Have a look.

What exactly makes it bad? Spacing the signals out means greater distances between trains, and therefore a lower capacity on each line. And I cant think of a benifit, other than it 'looks more realistic'.

If you have a deadlock, there's no place for an "escaperouter" or to build a depot

Some bigger stations of mine (currently used by only a few trains), but will be expanded soon, probably a 250trains/station will be served.

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » 22 Jun 2005 14:41

This is my Major Station. there are 70 trains stop off here at some point.

this game was originally a network game of OTTD 0.4.0.1 between me (Tash) "Tash Transport" and Sacro "Hmmmm Transport". but this is in OTTD Integration 4. where i bought out Hmmmm Transport(Red, not shown in this section) as a subsidiary called "Sacro Railways" and added another subsidiary called "Watkins Trains", Manager "J.Watkins"(some default crap.) who was actually male for a change

although this station gets very busy, theres very little entrance wait, and no exit wait, since there are actually 2 seperate main entrances(northwest, and south(from southeast and southwest)), with 2 smaller entrances(steel mill and farm), which split into 3 sections, and 2 trains can enter at the same time. 2 trains can exit at the same time too, although they have 3 different directions to choose from, so, theres never any lag since its rare that 2 want to go the same way.

even with its excellance, this efficiancy of the entrance can be improved if PBS was used, where upto 3 trains can enter at a time, i just choose not to convert it.

I hope this thing inspires you, i'm open to any sugested alterations. and yes, its a bodge, because it started off small, i'd add even more platforms, except the junction is in the way, and i don't much feel like demolishing it to start again.

also note the turn around and depot junction.

So my Junction are simple with PBS.

I'd still recommend against easy to block intersections, even with PBS.

Nice layout, bobingabout

[HUN]Pedro -> Why are you using small stations in front of, and after, your big station? I assume it's to make sure your trains go into the right directions. But why not use waypoints for that? They stop on stations, causing traffic jams.

Also, in the third picture, the factory. I noticed on your roro goods station the trains enter at the front, and exit at the back, driving in a half-circle to get to the front again. You should swap this around. It's goods, you transport them from your factory. So they should exit via the direct route.

bobingabout -> Your junction's terrible! Why so complex? I see lanes crossing eachother for no appearant reason, 90 degree turns, lots of bridges... You should really look into optimalisation on this one!

bobingabout · Post by **bobingabout** » 23 Jun 2005 12:07

why so complex? theres train entereing from everywhere. its actually not that complex when you break down what everything is doing. 90 degree turns? well, i don't like having those there, but i was kinda pushed for space...

Diadem · Post by **Diadem** » 23 Jun 2005 13:12

Can you post a savegame? I'd like to look at it in more detail

One thing for improvement I can tell you already. At the far right on the screen there's a depot. It services both direction of the track, via some complex 2-bridge manouvre. Why not simply build 2 depots and have a much simpler layout?
