OpenTTD is a business simulation game in which players try to earn money via transporting passengers and freight by road, rail, water and air. It is an open-source remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
OpenTTD duplicates most features of Transport Tycoon Deluxe and has many additions, including a range of map sizes, support for many languages, custom (user-made) artificial intelligence (AI), downloadable customisations, ports for several widely used operating systems, and a more user-friendly interface. OpenTTD also supports local area network (LAN) and Internet multiplayer, co-operative and competitive, for up to 255 players.
OpenTTD is free and open-source software licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0 and is under ongoing development. According to a study of the 61,154 open-source projects on SourceForge in the period between 1999 and 2005, OpenTTD ranked 8th most active open-source project to receive patches and contributions. In 2003 or 2004, development moved to their own server. Since 2018, the project uses GitHub for its source repository and bug tracker.

The answer is always boats!

[@MasterHellish]

Owww sounds sooooo slow... But maybe

[@tr_nt.]

I think farm 3 could be a fun place for a canal experiment, farms 1 and 2 seem to be producing adequate amounts so it would make sense to give canals a try as a shuttle to farm 1.

[@MasterHellish]

It might be interesting to do as an experiment

[@jaymkay7211]

That's what I've done, I love playing with locks. Boats are rubbish, slow speed large capacity so takes ages but as a feeder farm transferring to kentborough farm it's working well.

[@protheu5]

I'd dig a trench to the Pluthill Farm, have a station at the bottom so the trains don't have to go uphill, and connect the station coverage to the uphill via a madeup funicular connection. Sure, there are no funiculars, and it would look like just a bunch of station tiles going uphill, but it's a cargo funicular in my head.

[@MasterHellish]

Haha. This sounds toooo easy

[@protheu5]

@@MasterHellish I choose to build stuff in this game and do the other things, not because they are hard, but because they are easy; because that goal will serve to organize and provide the best of my entertainment and imagination, because that fun is one that I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, and one I intend to enjoy, and the others, too. -JFK on playing OpenTTD, the quote that became the prototype of the moon speech.

[@Clem_bou]

25:30 Take a truck shuttle from Pluthill Farm to Kentboroug Bay South

[@MasterHellish]

Would work. Certainly would not be very profitable

[@woobilicious.]

Depots should always be after the exit of a station that's dedicated to a full load, If they're sitting there a while waiting for previous trains to fill at a slow rate, you're going to need a service after to get the goods back on time.

[@MasterHellish]

Yes, however, it's good to leave a gap of about 15 so that trains don't skip the station to go to the depot

[@tiagocmau]

BOAATSS! hahahah

[@MasterHellish]

Hmmm not so sure

[@jonathankolberg2706]

25:30 Use ships to bring it down

[@MasterHellish]

Sounds like a bit of a challenge

[@potterpotty01]

use the river! use boats!

[@MasterHellish]

The wheel said boats

[@Gil-games]

No truck, no boat can solve it well. Double engine trains can handle it, just make the tracks straight up hill and make is double or triple uphill. Like a climbing lane in roads.

[@MasterHellish]

I think trains would be the most efficient way

[@hotzstGaming]

Are you sure you got that wharf setup right? It provides Sodium Hydroxide and you plan to take it out by the station instead of delivering it. As for the farm: only the empty trains go uphill, so it should be less of a problem. I would go for a shuttle, just to reduce the number of trains that go to Hellish city - properly joining the main line can become a pain in the long run.

[@paintspot1509]

That wharf accepts sod hyd, it doesn't produce it.

[@hotzstGaming]

That makes a lot more sense then :)

[@MasterHellish]

Yep o. The SH goes in. So it should be all good. Thanks for checking

[@totaltrol]

You can purchase sodium hydroxide in powder form.

[@MasterHellish]

That sounds like it would be easier to transport

[@SyberSycho]

I think you should use trucks to transfer the food to the Kentborough Bay South

[@MasterHellish]

Another vote for trucks

[@platypus-x3w]

What are the OpenTTD hotkeys?

[@MasterHellish]

There are so many. I made a video about the main ones and the rest are listed on the wiki

[@platypus-x3w]

@@MasterHellish thanks

[@SergeyAlyaev]

Why not make a train with multiple locomotives?

[@MasterHellish]

Sounds like a good idea

[@protheu5]

I love those things. My biggest trains had three locomotives. I've seen monster trains with six that took the whole screen. That was a bit too much for my style, but it looked impressive. In this case I would've added a second one, too. A train of that length could benefit from that.

[@Locomotor1979]

empty trains go faster up then filled trains you train go down drive faster loaded

[@brudakplaysgames3249]

Truck the farm3

[@MasterHellish]

Another vote for tricks hey... Hmmmm
