Creating a UTOPIA in OpenTTD - Ep. 5

[@ChuggersLR]

Audio bugs at 14:32 for a couple seconds, no idea why. No dialogue was hurt in the process.

Thanks for labelling in and out connections in post :) it really helps beginners like me understand what is going on when building/changing junctions

[@arsn1515]

Please continue this series forever 🙏🙏🙏 love your style!

[@Gil-games]

That's how my let's plays would look like, if I were funny 😅

[@eyesore8555]

im in LOVE with your openttd series!!!

14:34 nice merger 👍🏿

[@Karugimc]

The intro read always feels like breathing. I really like breathing.

[@TheLoneWolfling]

FYI: there's a very close analogy between track junctions and Factorio belt balancers. A lot of the research can be easily mapped back and forth - for instance, the notion of throughput-unlimited balancers. Splitting every incoming lane into one lane for every outgoing lane works, but gets space-inefficient for larger junctions. You can do better by selectively merging beforehand.

[@ChuggersLR]

When it comes to anything over 2 lanes, I do like to combine the split lanes into less than the amount of incoming/outgoing lanes, it does save a lot of space, especially if you know which directions trains are using the most. Factorio belts are an interesting analogy for sure, I was wondering how I could emulate them directly, like one network per resource, in the same way belts would usually have one or sometimes two resources. I guess this network is like a sushi belt, since all resources share the same rails, kinda weird to think about haha

Lugnuts is really great

[@trunk_slamchest]

man, forgot how hard that sc3k and sc4 sountrack slaps. think you could add sims1 build and buy menu music and it wouldnt sound out of place.

[@Dextrian1]

Sim city 4 music?

[@funnyguy3D]

have you considered an SC4 playthrough?

[@ChuggersLR]

Maybe at some point, definitely my favorite city builder. Would have to get re-acquainted with it first though, haven't played in a long time

[@Gil-games]

So how do you make those sliding shots? Don't tell me with arrow keys. But this episode gave me a great idea for a new vid, thx 😊

[@ChuggersLR]

I do use the arrow keys haha, its the only way I could figure to pan around while hiding the mouse. I know the C key can also pan around but you can't hide the cursor. Arrow key movement speed also scales with zoom, it works quite well for zoomed in scrolls.

[@Gil-games]

@@ChuggersLR if I try that, it lags as hell, everything gets choppy.

[@ChuggersLR]

@@Gil-games Have you tried setting "Smooth viewport scrolling" on in settings? Besides that I'm really not sure
