North American Industry Set - Updated Tracking Table
I know there was a thread started on this topic. Some work has been done, and planning for the Canset and the North American Renewal Set, I drew up a new industry chain.
*****UPDATED***** TRACKING TABLE IS HERE
This is open to suggestion and interpretation, and Tropic is still in the works. Below is the chain for Temperate and Arctic as well as a couple of my "in-progress" industries. I know people have seen the packing plant before, but the Auto plant is new.
Lifeblood's Cannery is also planned for this (I hope). More progress soon.

Okey, can't help watching that Meat Packing Plant with those little pigs hanging out their daily lifes, apparently not having the slightest idea what's about to happen if stepping on that "surprise-surprise-escalator" on the side.
Is that really how it looks?

Re: North American Industry Set
Being the good patriotic Canadian that I am, I will be studying this in detail. (There goes another productive weekend down the tubes)
Meanwhile a couple of items jumped out at me as needing of comment:

Wally,
I wasn't sure about the fertilizer for the forests, but that'll be dropped. Possibly send grain =>Co-Op =>Animal Feed? I thought the Livestock farm should accept something, wasn't sure what.
Also, this is North American, not just Canada
The fact that the Canadian Set will be the first (and the NARS the second) set to support this is secondary (or is that tertiary??)
SAC - That's pretty much how it works. Livestock is dropped off and hely in holding pens until it's needed, then it enters the plant. I also want to do a version w/cows

Wow! Okay! This sounds pretty all-encompassing, but logical. Should be a challenge.
A few questions:
1. Is there a coder yet?
2. Do you want to use the NA farmstead that I drew not too long ago? If so, I'll have to make some snowy sprites.
3. What the frig is a Co-op?
The steel mill will be worked on the near future. I'm currently working on the coil magnetic crane and iron ore loading depots for the industrial station set right now. When finished with those, I'm going to work on the mill to tie in nicely with the depots to have continuity between them. Ya know, it sure sounds easier when I type it.
Cheers!

I'm not sure about that. If we're going to be true to the Canadian prairie experience, the Canadian Wheat Board would have to be included as the destination for all grain until 2007. (that's a joke) Besides, there's co-ops all over the place in Canada and the USA...Train-a-Mania wrote:Since there are many co-ops in Alberta, I can see where this idea came from.Marshy wrote:Sounds and looks great Dan, i love the idea of a Co-Op

Dan, I like this idea. Sadly, I won't be able to help out much. I do have one idea though. For the Forest, I think it would be better if it behaved like the sawmill in the Tropic set, cutting trees down in a swath around a logging camp or something like that. The idea of a self-regenerating woodlot was always a weaker point for me in this game.

Tar sands = very nice! May I take a crack at this?
Tentatively, yes, Pikka said he'd possibly do it, seeing as he's got experience w/Pineapple and UKRSI. Although I'm waiting to actually get more done before it's started.Oz wrote:Wow! Okay! This sounds pretty all-encompassing, but logical. Should be a challenge.![]()

1. Cool!
It'll be nice to finally work with Pikka!
2. Absolutely I'll include the farm. I was wonderin' if it would find a home.
3. Oh, Doh!
As soon as I saw Sunkist, I figured out what a Co-op was. Dunno what I was thinking.
Hey, lifeblood, do you have the sprites for your fishery/cannery? If not, I think that I still have them somewhere. That definitely should be in the set; with snowy sprites, of course.
Cheers!

DanMack! You forgot to include a major North American industry ... tourism.
This industry is serviced by ship, airplane, train and bus.
It appears in all climates with some restictions.
How to implement it:
Travel Agency
=========
Accepts passengers to produce tourists

Located in towns and cities in all climates.

Ski Resorts
========

Located in small towns above snowline in Temperate and in small towns at any elevation in Arctic.

After a little further thought, the "lumber Mill" idea from tropic actually appeals to me (and it would be realistic). That said, a Lumber camp would be needed instead of the generic TTD Forest. A mockup of a possible logging camp is below. Thoughts?
Regarding the "tourists" industry, I may still look at implementing that chain... Give me an excuse to have a big CPR hotel

About the only thing I can think of Dan is 'Awesome'.
Should be nice, blends in well with the lumber station, I'll make a note to keep the lumber station in ISR the same general theme

PS stuff: That narrow gauge depot will fit right in.

The sprites for the logging camp are presented before you. A snowy version will also be done. Next on the list is a revised sawmill...
