Ep 3 - My NewGRFs & Settings (Let's Play OpenTTD)

[@LugnutsK]

To be clear clear, I like FIRS & the other industry sets, I just think the complexity would make following along harder.

[@tomaskiraly9457]

How to make the NUTS trains longer?

[@qwertyleon6509]

@@tomaskiraly9457 in settings you can change your max train lenght and max trains for company, buses and other things

[@WarLasso]

The industry newgrf's comparison was interesting. I've played firs but didn't know how the others work. They seem interesting, I'll give them a try eventually.

[@croixtucker1757]

I would say that playing with cargo dist for passengers and mail is a must. Makes expanding a passenger rail system to many towns actually interesting instead of just dumping a ton of passenger on two towns.

[@Floedekage]

Agreed.

[@constancechappellhorne7436]

@@Floedekage I can't find cargo dist to load it now. Where is it or what is it called?

[@Floedekage]

@@constancechappellhorne7436 if you have one of the newest versions of OpenTTD go to "Settings -> Enviroment -> Cargo Distribution" Here you can change all settings. You can also search through settings using the "Filter String" in the top. 💜 I personally use symmetric for passenger and mail and asymmetric for everything else. ✌

[@rolfyman9153]

Dude, your work on these tutorials is amazing...thank you!

[@Dav1ski]

thanks a lot for those explanations. In particular I like the comparaison between Industry New GRF, and I'm glad you choose the most close to vanilla for this serie!

[@byganza8060]

I know nothing about GRFs. I have maybe 100 hours in the game and i only played vanilla with a high resolution pack. All i gotta say is that you are AWESOME at explaining things. I fully understand your game now :D

[@thulsadum]

Your comparison of industry sets was quite brilliant! Thanks for that.

[@mephisst0]

Thank you for this review, I never look at all the NewGRF but there are some really interessting (and complicated too). Nice video :)

[@wibblywobble7068]

Nice one for this was looking to spruce my game up a little, if anyone is using the mods in the guide and you want your signals to remain default set the parameters of the NUTS train mod in newgrf menu.

[@DC4444]

Last time I checked (which was many months ago), FIRS still had the extreme economy. I will check that this is still the case and edit this if it's changed. In my current game, I'm playing with asymmetric distribution for mail and passengers on but armoured and other cargo classes set to manual.

[@galliman123]

Yay I can finally play along! This will be refreshing! Going to try use same settings but of course map generation will lead me to creating my own unique networks :)

[@Giekeme]

Good stuff. Didnt know the industry and trainset NewGRF

[@LeventDV]

cargodist for passanger and mail makes it lots of fun, realistic pax systems

[@LugnutsK]

Definitely more realistic than "take me anywhere" pax, but I have actually very little experience with cargo dist. When I started playing cargo dist wasn't part of the vanilla game yet.

[@LeventDV]

@@LugnutsK same! We had a custom client for clanmega that had cargodest+infrashare, those realistic city transports were really fun

[@rezafatul]

Hi, am new to this channel. Sorry for stupid question but how to change the parameters for the BSPI?

[@ingovb6155]

he, nice! Did even teach me the existence of a new NewGRF :) And I found it as it was mentioned in #openttd :P

[@DaFreak860]

Can we please get a slighly more in-depth guide on the 'NUTS Unrealistic Trainset' 6:39 ? (or even trains in general?) I struggle to understand how they work and what they mean with things like "Fullspeed curve lenght"-- if that, for example, is just the lenght of the curve it needs, to not be forced to slow down, regardless of how long I make the train or if it is a multiplyer like '1' meaning one trainlenght and '1.5' meaning one and a half trainlenghts in how long the curves need to be, and why do some trains have 'Desinged for' sections contradicting what is said in the description? Even in the basegame there are things like the 'Weight' of the train, where I don't quite know what that means or how it alongside the 'Power' that the train provides translates on how many wagons it can pull -- you said that the super strong trains can pull 10 wagons, but how did you identify it as being capable of that? (does it relate the 'Express wagon capacity' -- whatever that may mean?) And finally, does 'Max. Tractive Effort' mean the train is accelerating faster or just that it can climb hills easier? Rant: The reason I want to play with 'NUTS' is because I really don't like how you don't need to have any understanding of these values and stats in order to build large and high performing networks in the basegame, I have about 150 hours in this game and with your tutorials I have gotten quite good at this game, but I still don't actually know all the inticate mechanics of the game, since for the base game, just upgrading to the newest train works just fine and for my 14 lenght Train ML desings I simply added more engines, while not quite knowing why it works, just that it does, and that I don't have to learn more about that to play this game quite well makes me sad. Testing how these stats and values work for myself is also quite painfull, one can't teleport trains onto a track and such so you often have to make some weird constructs in order to isolate the information you want to extract. (If you know of a tool/trick to make testing easy, please do tell, I am not that competent in navigating the OpenTTD Forums especially since a lot of pages there are quite outdated) TL;DR: Please make an in-depht video where you show us what the stats of a train mean exactly, and how to determine the max. wagons that engine can carry, what it means to have many engines, and how trains of various lenghts interact with curves. (=for the basegame, and if you can find the time, since I am asking for quite a lot, do a segment on 'NUTS' as well please)

Hi LugnutsK - big fan of your videos and style in general. Quick question: I installed BSPI to play along, and the industries are stockpiling, but valuables seems not to do anything and I'm not sure the power requirement is working either. The NewGRF doesn't have any configured parameters - what's the trick to changing BSPI's settings? And what settings do you have on it? Thanks

[@LugnutsK]

Ah, it actually does have settings but it's the kind where you have to set magic numbers. In the parameters menu you have to add one param and set it's value to 6 (what I'm using). The actual settings are: bit0 - extractive industries have [limited] reserves bit1 - secondary industries need electric power (Town zones) bit2 - primary industries need valuables to boost production (Town zones) 6 == no limited reserves, but yes electric power and yes valuables boost production. So, all the possibilities 0-7 are: (reserves, power, production) 0: (no, no, no) 1: (yes, no, no) 2: (no, yes, no) 3: (yes, yes, no) 4: (no, no, yes) 5: (yes, no, yes) 6: (no, yes, yes) 7: (yes, yes, yes)

[@hoody8279]

@@LugnutsK This is very helpful, thanks. I'm not great with code and although I saw references to "bit0" etc in the BSPI openttd forum thread, I had absolutely no idea what this meant or how to actually effect these changes. Thanks for taking the time to talk me through it. I'll have to start my game again as I'm running it on the default settings.

[@LugnutsK]

@@hoody8279 It is possible to change the settings on the fly using developer mode: wiki.openttd.org/NewGRF_Debugging#Activating_newgrf_developer_tools However this might also corrupt your game. My guess is that it won't in this case, but don't count on it.

[@hoody8279]

@@LugnutsK Might be fun just to see what chaos breaks out when my industries in unpowered towns suddenly require electricity to run…I presume if you have power-requiring industries in towns that lack a power station you either have to fund one there or they just won't work, right? Cheers

"Firs stand for firs industry replacement set" How about the word "firs" from "firs industry replacement set" stand for?

[@thedumgamer2046]

Ahhh last thing inflation on or off?

[@LugnutsK]

Ah, no inflation, I don't know exactly how it works, it seems to just inevitably kill your company due to increasing operating costs? Not entirely sure.

[@thedumgamer2046]

LugnutsK basically inflation means that money is worth less than it used to be... Here’s an example (not irl but to show): In 2000 £1=£1 In 2100 £1=£0.1 In 2200 £1=£0.01 So it’s not always like that but it gets worth less as time goes on so it looks like you have lots of money but then everything’s really expensive
