Transport Tycoon Forums

I haven't used any graphics extra's cuase I just installed OTTD on my new computer, this evening I'm going on vacation, so it wil take some weeks before I go further. I only played 5 years ingame so far (August the 9th), but I already have a lot of money. How much?, see the last screenshot!

R.S.
It was a perfect place for trains, but the country wanted to keep the nature, so no trains were allowed. Till a day in december 1994. The last birds died and the goverment saw that the they were not able to protect the nature anymorem, the trains may come in. There were thousands who wanted to take this opportunity but only one may. Mr. Johnson, who whanted to start a food company already had money on a loan from the bank. And he lived nearby. He was lucky, he was the one.

He started with 170.000 pounds and made a station at a coalmine.



At a powerplant another station was made, this time bigger (with to lanes for non-stopping trains).
In the picture you see the train (an Asia-star with 12 coal-trucks) riding in the non-stop lane, he stopped at the other side and turned.


From the money of the first ride (about 60.000 pounds) another train was bought, and later three more.
Cause he wanted to use even more trains he made bigger stations.


He bought nine trains extra and that brought the total to 14 trains on the traject.
However, there wasn't more coal produced and he had to go to another coal mine, and he did!
A large railroad was made, starting at the other coal-mine!




The year 2000, he worked for 5 years day and night, but now VVV


Sometimes there a jams at the turningpoint, so from no on all trains from the farest coal-station are leaded away from the other station!

Hold your cursor down over the ? icon in game and choose "Take Screenshot" in future to remove all your startbar and such. Also, please use the forums upload tool rather than linking to a remote site, it stops your image stretching the page.

Your powerplant station is a bit interesting but everything else is, well, dull. It's flat, no trees, no towns, no charachter. What are you showing us that we should be interested by?

As for the story/plot/thing? Don't quit your day job...

TIP: As you see I don't have a difficult depot setup, just build a depot-visit in in the ride!

@Xander

I used the flat part just for now, to make some money, and if you look it's realy a lot of money!
So it is going to be intresting soon! And the screenshot function gives a bad quality at my computer!

And why is the powerplant station more intresting?

I'm guessing you're new so here's a Protip: Getting money in OTTD is not an achievment. It's harder to lose the damn stuff than it is to make it.

Please take a screenshot using the game and post it here - I'm curious about that statement as it might be indicative of a bug.

Not the powerplant, sorry, the final few of the coal mine.

The one with a straight line... wow. I've never seen one of them before... Use your screen shots to show something interesting, unique, characterful, not just a straight line going to painfully dull stations.

O, that, that isn't unique, and it is used for the second powerplant station to!
But I just wanted to make a little story and I promise it is going to be more intresting!

I look forward to it. But can you still post that screenshot taken in-game for me?

No, you can't see anything at all xD, it OTTD realy s*cks *ss sice I copied it to my new computer, I lost the basic dummyAI to. So, maybe I can use the savefile on my old computer. I'll see what I can do!

hmm...nice use of TWO way BLOCK signals, jam galore? [/sarcasm]
seriousley, Ottd has the feature, change those 2 way signals into 1 way, each lane going in a different direction

The dummy AI was taken out a few versions ago to make way for the NoAI AI's. You are missing nothing of value.

Is a file generated? This is very odd behaviour for the screenshot feature.

Can't find my save Srry if you liked it, but I have to quit...
