OpenTTD Tutorial #10 - Advanced Roads

[@Z-MACx]

Master Hellish, I started playing Open TTD this week and your tutorials have been such a massive help. Your calm, positive energy mixed with your game knowledge and English accent makes watching them such a pleasure. Thank you so much for making these videos! 😊

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

You are very welcome

[@SnowfeetUS]

The most useful thing I learned here is that you can press a button to start every vehicle in the depot.

[@Fortuna272]

For the stations I suggest to put multiple in line so queuing trucks can also unload or take loads.

[@FabianVilersOld]

I'm currently watching all your tutorial videos and they're great, thanks! One question about the highway: since there are one-way signs on the road, do the trucks use the two lanes at the same time? I mean, when a truck broke on the road, does the other trucks pass it using the second lane?

[@didemtekbay25]

yes, it uses the second lanw

[@deepankurnayantara]

You should use the DBPP version of OpenTTD if you want vehicles to go faster on two way roads and make full use of the second lane properly. In normal OpenTTD, the second lane of one way roads aren't used properly.

[@NalinAirheart]

Wow, you learn something new for logistics everyday. Thanks for the video, it was really clear and just looked great. Lifting water costs millions though so for cost-efficiency I would flatten out something a few tiles more inland so it doesnt cost so much.

Better A.I than Simcity 2013 :)

better AI then city skylines too

The advanced depots look just like the bus stops at heathrow...Spooky :P

[@alicewong3081]

Just saying, you do not need to put one way roads all the way in the highway. Just put them in entrances and exits.

[@alicewong3081]

And don't forget you can tunnel under the towns without angering the towns.

[@grahamturner2640]

1:04 to 2:52 Why did you waste a ton of space on 1 junction?

[@eladrioliii3593]

whats the advantage of these one way junction roads over just plonking a normal road down? I don't pay much attention to buses and lorries, but I've never noticed needing extra stuff beyond a normal road

[@chuckufarly5]

+Eladriol III too many vehicles at an intersection will actualy clog up and slow down the flow because they have to go single file, but one way roads allow both lanes to be used so if you have say 20 trucks coming to an intersection from the top, and 20 from the bottom they will use the closet lanes to them, atleast thats how it has worked for me.

[@givemeexp]

Thats why im comfortable with all of the train tracks and road layout, we use the same driving direction

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

We drive on the left over here

[@givemeexp]

@@MasterHellish-Gaming yeah, same here

[@NeilRoy]

Very nice! I see a lot on rails but not many on roads.

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

Rails are much more complicated than roads

[@VanguardDetonados]

we need someone like you for transport fever 2

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

TF2 is coming back Friday with a livestream. We are in the middle of our season 2 let's play

[@grahamturner2640]

Who actually uses large road systems? When I play OpenTTD, I mostly use trains for high-capacity, long-distance transport. I mostly use road networks for feeder stations.

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

No idea... there might be someone

[@fannetastic8097]

yeah me too sometimes i got too many rail lines i cant build the highway.There was a project i made connecting 4 cities and towns but the problem is it is too slow and make small profits citizens wont even use them.(sometimes)

[@christendombaffler]

I do. Trains feel miserable and unfun, whereas managing road vehicles is relaxing and intuitive to me. Without them I would've quit the game ages ago.

[@SoftBreadSoft]

I always add a few for looks lol

[@Hunter-lm7wo]

i am a big noob at the game but i usually go with oil tanker to refinery then use trains to send goods to a large cluster of towns/city area then use trucks to deliver the goods. i have no idea if there are better ways but i am trying to learn railroad signals to have more then 1 train per line

[@andersandersen3366]

Awesome tutorial Mr Hellish. Some flaws here and there, but basicly do explain stuff to newbs out there. What i miss is for instance stationspread explination (wich isnt allowed in some servers), also use of hotkeys. 1-2-3-4,5,b,t,r,ctrl. And ofc, ctrl drag signaling for completing a whole line with same sort signals, instead of dragging like u did in.. hmm.. #10 and #11 i think. And since im lazy i just only use 1way path signal, allways, works as a charm, and easier.

[@hdhock3y]

thanks for the tips with the stations and one-way roads

[@retrocoach16]

wow, highways! Pretty cool! Also, this carrying station let me re-evaluate road vehicles in mid and late game

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

They have their uses

[@duncancamilleri8614]

Thanks for the tips. What is the best way to prevent buildings in certain areas to control growth in the direction desired pls? Is there a way? noob here...

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

You could use the land purchase tool to buy the land and prevent the city growing in that area

[@duncancamilleri8614]

@@MasterHellish-Gaming hey thanks - yes i'm aware of that but that is too expensive and i dont think it can be dragged. I found various roadside objects instead. they seem to work. thanks for the tutorials!

[@TimCardwell-k1v]

So helpful thanks!

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

No problem!

[@KejaBaas]

Hi, how exactly did you get the One-Way-Button in your Menu?

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

The one way road option? It's there by default.

[@webberdontstarve7017]

for me, you just showed how to make a road system, but not explained it.

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

Good feedback will consider it for future videos.

[@roelandbrink1345]

Really disappointing to see the trucks NOT use the 2nd lane in your 1-way system. I really feel that they should.

[@MasterHellish-Gaming]

They sometimes do if following a slower vehicle or if one is broken down.

[@brandonknight3319]

You. Are. Awesome

[@andersandersen3366]

Newest i find is #15, cant see #16. And this reply i made yesterday was supposed to be on vid #15, not here on #10, dunno how that happend, but ok.

I don't like your system because it's not realistic.
