I just want reactions to my statoin. Hate it or love it

Improvments are always welcome, or questions why also.

Well erm, the first word that pops into mind is HUGE:P

Anyway, you can't really see how your station works because your picture is too small.
1 thing I do wonder about, is what the station in the middle is for, it doesn't seem to be able to reach any of the 4 industries?

[Bitje]

in a nutshell.

the 4 industries have there own station.
trains pick up their goods and drop it in all 4 stations. and at the (their) last station drop the iron ore.
a new train passes all the 4 stations and picks up the droped ore and goes to the steel mill.
At the steel mill the steel is brought back to the middle station.
At this station the goods are pick up and brought to the city's.

hte middle station does reach all the stations.
So there are in total 5 stations.

Pro:
+ neat arangement
+ common pickup

contra:
- very slow track layout due to sharp curves
- very inefficient station entrances and exits
- common drop for steel with pickup for goods (allows congestion)
- the incoming lines don't allow access to all stations(?)

Maybe have a read on our #openttdcoop wiki (see signature) for some possible designes and suggestions for improvements. You also might want to look at our public server archive.

It is too ordered and neat!

I try to be realistic, by not destroying and using huge swathes of land for my junctions/stations for the sake of efficiency. I like the challenge of improving stations and enlarging them over time while conserving space, for example in a city.

However great station anyway .
