Auztralian Industries (AuzInd)

Nice to see it works well

Ill have to give this a go when i get back home

[GarryG]

Well fellas, looks like spitting a large combined sprite set not viable if want to build a station in the gap.

Need to use 2 separate views to achieve that result.

I done some sets and here the file with them all.

templates_Industry.rar

(2.28 MiB) Downloaded 312 times

You will find the templates for 1x2 4 views, 1x3 4 views, 2x2 2 & 4 views, 2x3 2 & 4 views, 3x3 2 & 4 views, 4x4 2 & 4 views, 6x6 4 views, 8x8 2 views and 12x12 1 view.

You should be able to create any size Industry you want up to 12x12 with what I have done.

For Instance if want to do a 4x6 just use the 6x6 and when finish drawing your industry just delete the 2 rows not used and remove the reference to them from with in the files.

Hope some of you can make use of them.

Cheers

Got a message from a PropH about oil wells, but it disappeared from here.

Was asking about oil wells to be added in game as the Oil Rigs not started till 1967. Instead of adding oil wells I changed the date of oil rigs to start in 1900.

The oil rigs in my scenario suppose to represent oil being imported to Australia from other countries. So hope this will help players. The reason I don't have Oil wells in my Industry set is because in my State of NSW, Australia we don't have any .. at least not to my knowledge .. and IF we do they are not served by rail. Majority of our oil is imported hence the Oil Rigs.

Hope to release update to both AuzInd and AuzInd160 with this date alteration in a few days time.

Cheers

If the information I been told many moons ago .. the oil Australia produces not suitable for using as fuel. It used for engine oils. But guess it still oil. So Oil Wells are now part of the sets.

I changed the date to Oil Rigs to 1900 .. they represent other countries and the oil from these represent oil being imported.

Any one like Gee Gees?

Was suggest a while ago if can make a racecourse.

Finally had a go at it and here's my first result.

What ya think?

As you can see it a 2 horse race at moment.

Not sure about other countries, but in Australia many moons there was railway branch or spur lines going to many racecourses and trains would convey horses and passengers to the meetings.

For those who don't use my industry sets will also make a object racecourse too if like.

[andythenorth]

Nicely played. Will you animate the horses?

[GarryG]

If I animated the horse to run around the track people might turn the game into a gambling game and that might close us down

Animating Industries is something I haven't learnt yet.

[GarryG]

Had 2 already asking if the horses can be animated. Is there anyone who think they could do that are welcome to try.

Found a old article on the forum don't know if of any use ..viewtopic.php?t=63793

[GarryG]

I think the racecourse need to be made into course where the horses will go around the course.

They'll just have to stay frozen in time for now.

[andythenorth]

Animating the horses would be a serious amount of work

I wouldn't do it

I agree ..

[GarryG]

If I add the racecourse to the game as a Industry .. what cargos should be accepted and produced?

Can deliver livestock and race cattle and sheep? Riding sheep be fun .. see that at rodeos .. called Mutton busters .. kids trying to ride sheep.

So maybe I should add a new farm .. Horse stud or what ever we call places that have race horses.

What about collecting livestock from the racecourse when meeting over .. do we take the horses to the Abattoirs (knackery).

The racecourse will look nice in some towns .. just need to figure out if it is used as a Industry what the best cargoes should be. And maybe need a few more industries to go with it.

Any ideas?

[Pyoro]

Well, you could resort to the "Tourist" cargo, as a certain other industry set does, and then you can include a whole bunch of landmarks or whatever that are typical for Australia. Like a bunch of emus fending of farmers. Or a completely empty tile. Or perhaps a spider the size of those horses? I'm not sure.

Those ideas sound good but some maybe not viable.

[Alberth]

I'd say it needs food and passengers, and produces passengers again.

It also produces joy and fun, not sure you'd want those as cargo

Food and Passengers for sure .. but still room for more. I don't have valuables in my cargsos other wise that could have been produce .. all the money people lost

Maybe could accept Alcohol for the thirsty punters before they run out of money

Maybe I could make a small Industry called Stables .. have a house, stables and a few paddocks with horses in them .. and make some more fences like I did for the farms but make the fences white top railing.

I will keep the thinking cap on for a while and see what comes out of it.

Cheers

[PropH]

Can you define two different oil? For example, Oil Rig produces Imported Oil(if i understand correctly), and Oil wells produce Local oil. Oil Refinery will accept both, but first will be processed into gasoline and refined products, and second will be processed ino only refined products. Maybe i:'m wrong in the chain, I've played a little with your GRF
