Jakobs custom scenario
Posted: 24 Sep 2022 08:12
Hello,
Once again I've begun creating a custom map.
My previous attempt was simply a too big a project.
The map itself was 4096x4096 which meant a LOOOT of tiles needed to be filed out.
Therefore, I slowly lost interest until no new progress was made and it was scrapped.
However, now I am ready to show a few pictures of my newest project.
The map this time is downscaled to 1024x1024. Still a lot of tiles to fill but more manageable.
Many of the ideas from the previous map can still be found in this new one.
The map features a lot of NewGRF's, which I have to look at later on and probably refine.
For the industry I am using the One Tile Industry Set (OTIS) which gives me the freedom to create fairly modular and functional areas.
The idea is to create a lot of smaller functional industrial facilities, and then for you create a network of transport routes between them.
Instead of simply creating a massive railline between a coalmine and a powerplant.
Hopefully this will make the game more realistic and alive as you will have trucks and buses going all over the map.
For the moment I will only share a few pictures of the work I've done so far.
I will try to work on the project as often as I can, and share the progress with you.
FYI in order to plan for the raillines I am using tramtracks.
Also I plan on locating several outside connections on the edge of the map to create some sort of import/export to the harbor and routes to the airport.
If there is any questions or recommendations please to not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you for your time.
