Making a BEAUTIFUL city in OpenTTD - Ep. 7

[@ChuggersLR]

Going to be a small delay before the next episode, hard drive decided to corrupt half of the footage so I'm going to have to record a little more

[@krawc0]

In the Citymania client you can use scroll click to rotate stations, depots, induatries you fund, etc. Not sure if it works with all the mods though.

[@ChuggersLR]

You just blew my mind, never knew that was a thing! That saves a lot of time

[@krawc0]

@@ChuggersLR I love this client and I know it inside out. Did you know the polyrail has a feature allowing for automatic terraforming as you build with it? Search the settings for "polyrail" to enable it and "additional function" to set a modifier key to use it. I'm happy I could help 😁

[@ChuggersLR]

@@krawc0 That is really cool, I really gotta get used to using poly rail it seems like a huge help

[@CasanovaLucas]

noob question here: isn't better to use longer trains (like 10 or 12 tiles) to transport cargoes on mainlines than 4 or 5 tiles trains?

[@ChuggersLR]

Longer trains are definitely better for cargo. I would only recommend 3 tile trains to people who are playing for train count, or for use in feeder stations. In the case of this playthrough, I figured I wouldn't have enough space on this small map to build up the junctions and accommodate longer trains.

@@ChuggersLR got it. Thanks!!

[@licorice3333]

iambic pentameter alert got a chuckle out of me

[@El-Burrito]

That client looks awesome, I've been playing on the default client my entire life. Time to check out the other side of the grass

[@balig77]

im new to openttd and I have absolutely no idea what youre doing but it looks fascinating

[@s_s6040]

Would be nice addition to see word map from time to time to better get context of what you're doing. Great series, keep going 🤩

[@FjordGamerMum]

Oh! Love this game!

[@ironick09]

OPEN TDDDD!

[@Gil-games]

Pretty cool. I think you did a good job with the scenery, I'm bad at it as you could see. Isn't adding 2way path a better penalty?

[@ChuggersLR]

2 way paths do have a higher penalty, but they also introduce new signal blocks in the waiting bays that don't have enough space for any waiting trains. It is kind of annoying having to hear the level crossing noises though. Makes me wonder if wrong-station penalties would have been a better solution

[@Gil-games]

@@ChuggersLR maybe a waypoint, and why do you exactly need the penalty? It wasn't quite clear.

[@ChuggersLR]

Trains were sometimes picking random station tiles, and the station is underbuilt as-is, so I have make sure I'm getting 100% out of the platforms. I'll try a waypoint, maybe I can find a cool grf that makes them look fitting@@Gil-games

[@Gil-games]

@@ChuggersLR I like how modern waypoint looks, but that's big. I'm sure there are plenty of subtle ones.

[@ChuggersLR]

I will check those out, thanks@@Gil-games

[@godaeitrox]

Back on episode 5, in the overflow section you changed a setting using a command. In my game settings it says, 'Pathfinder for trains: YAPF (Recommended)', is this the same thing?

[@ChuggersLR]

The YAPF setting in game settings is the overall pathfinder algorithm that the trains use. The command that I changed is a hidden setting. I've learned that recently the developers actually have that setting set to true by default, but probably still worth enabling just in case the settings got carried over from a previous version.

[@godaeitrox]

@@ChuggersLR alright thanks. Keep the series up, really enjoying it

[@quasabia5224]

What newgrfs are you use for bridges and tunnels?

[@ChuggersLR]

- BK Enhanced Tunnels v1.0 - Total Bridge Renewal Set Version 1.12

Your video's and pacing kind of reminds me of Francis John, who plays different but similar games and is also one of my favorite KZbinrs. www.youtube.com/@FrancisJohnYT
