To answer your question about Maryland, I’ve lived there my whole left, and I love it! We’re famous for crabs. The west has a lot of hills; great places to hike. There’s also a lot of suburbs for Washington DC and Baltimore. Baltimore’s the largest city and an inner harbor with ships that you can pay to go inside. Lots of food places too. The capital is Annapolis, where the US Naval Academy can be found. You can easily get to the eastern shore with the bay bridge, but it’s a scary drive! The eastern shore has lots of farms, but on the Atlantic coast is Ocean City. Very popular in the summer. There are horses on Assatigue Island!

Love how openttd videos are always like 3 hours long minimum

[@aptagard]

On your question about the Crime Rigg steam traction engine having a duplicate unit, this does indeed have an historical basis and was the intention of the Road Hog grf modder. Road using steam traction engines, when engaged in heavy hauling, would be linked in tandem both in front of the flatbed and behind. There's a nice little video here from an industrial heritage festival on the Isle of Mann: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH3Uk5aQaK-mf9k The only ahistorical thing about it is the speeds though! You can see in the video how slow these things were, and they were really only designed for delivering cargo in dense urban areas. Still, it's always fun to see them in OpenTTD!

[@TheSonic10160]

I think what is depicted in the game is not a traction engine, but some variety of Sentinel steam truck. Steam trucks in general were pretty nippy for their day

[@CATASTEROID934]

It's most likely an iteration on Sentinel's steam waggons, possibly the eight-wheeled DG8 with the recognisable flat-faced closed cab with the squat boiler chimney poking out the top (but Foden and other manufacturers produced some with similar layouts too), some of the later models were fast and had a lot of grunt but required watering every 30 miles or so and the later Sentinel models had a convenient engine-driven pump linked to a hose fitted with a filter to draw water from ponds, troughs, brooks or anywhere you could pinch it from. The 30's saw the last stand of steam lorries and Foden pulled out of steam traction transitioning to diesel leaving only Sentinel who would cling on for a few years more. Some of the Sentinel and Foden lorries could sometimes do a frankly slightly terrifying 40 or 50mph flat out when loaded

This game looks like 100% like Rollercoaster Tycoon. I mean this in the most positive way possible. Programming such a game in mf assembly must have been difficult af but in the end RTC was able to simulate thousands of visitors, calculate a lot of stuff like g-forces and still offered a good overview. Without any lags. In 1999. Legends say the programmer, Chris Sawyer, spent more time riding over 700 rollercoasters than he spent time testing the game. I call this dedication.

[@FuFightersStudio]

Super-exicted about this happening! Few interesting things you might want to consider: ISR Stations - These are super cute, basically it allows you to build custom looking stations with dynamic visual. For example you set up a station by a coal that looks like its designed to onload coal - you can even give it loading spots which are empty platform tiles that fill with reasouces that are queued up (so if there is a lot of coal waiting for transport there will be massive piles of coal on these and they will get dynamically smaller as you make it less packed. There are even tiny forklifts and whatnot to make it look realistic. It also includes buffers so you can make ends of your rail look like they are actual ends). Similiar mod I would suggest for PACKs is Michael Blunck's New Stations which should do the same thing. There is also Dutch stations+Additions which has a lot of very pretty looking pack stations including METRO stations (they look underground as they have a metro entrance tile up top) but there is no animation to those so no crowds of people waiting. Regarding the end industries like General Store I believe they boost the city growth since last time I played once I started getting goods to the shop it just made the city explode in size. Not sure how it interacts with your growth mod. Also you should probably double check your FIRS since I am pretty sure it is broken - I have never seen FIRS industries produce such insane amounts of resources so easily - Especially the manufactoring/farming tools. They are rarely worth it to move without the additional production making up for it and produced in quite smaller amounts. Not the metric tons your port produces from the getgo before even getting resources so I think something might be up.

[@DDRJake]

Cheers for the mods suggestions. I'll also look into the general stores since it would be great if the assisted city growth, but I cannot find anything online to corroborate this claim. As for the resources, due to my modification to length of day, Pax generation is multiplied by 4 and good multiplied by 2 to make up for the 4x longer days. It took some tweaking to find the values that felt right, but I really like the longer days modification. If I were playing alone, I would probably set it even higher, 8x or 16x.

[@FuFightersStudio]

​@@DDRJake Fair - I am not even 40% sure the shops do it - it was pure in game observation and could have been coincidental - I am also quite new to FIRS. As for resource amounts - thats fair, I was just quite shocked since I am used to having like 33 manufacturing supplies a week.

[@jibbiddy]

to your comment about the double truck configuration. Such a thing does exist in this day and age but is used in special circumstances for heavy haul configurations. The truck on the back is called a push truck and it is provides extra power. It's especially noticeable when the configuration goes up a steep grade. I know this because I worked in the heavy haul trucking industry. You need a driver in the pull truck and in the push truck. The push truck can be used to provide extra engine brakes when going down a hill as well (which means less time in low gears). We found that on the flat it was often more advantageous to unhook the push truck for speed (assuming the flat went on for a while).

[@Guts3570]

Montana was just minding its own business and then they got surrounded by trains that are constantly blaring their horns.

[@citroenbanaan]

Good solution for the drive through cargo stops is make them parallel and use one way road signs (two arrows) so they use both sides to load, this way you can make a reasonably compact hub.

Inflation is a balancing thing, because your vehicles just get faster/stronger/bigger, and your production also skyrockets if you make efficient lines (you do as I've seen last time). Without inflation every line will be more and more profitable no matter what and how you do. But really nice mods and campaign idea otherwise.

4:00 Day length factor from default of 1 to 4. Thank you. Because day factor of 1 with Renewed Village growth script on. It can be very challenging scenario in the sense that you have to focus on short orders, that is buses and mail trucks that only drive one or 2 blocks away and drop off passengers very, very quickly. If you build a train that goes 100 tiles (which is not too long) it would be too long because it takes 17 days to get there and the growth script won't kick in because of it. The town will never grow with day factor of 1 without intercity bus routes and you have to be careful how many of that town's passenger or mail you send off on a long trip because they will prevent town growth. Still though, interesting challenge; I just don't want to do it (because of large maps and 500 maximum vehicles, I know I can change it, but I don't want to go down that 'road'

I’m in San Francisco, and have lived in Canada (Calgary, Montreal, Halifax). The good: the weather is perfect , ~17C every day, all year. Coming from -40C in Calgary is really special. You can really choose your weather, there is hot just to the north, and cold in Tahoe and Yellowstone. It’s gorgeous, and the parks are truly amazing. In the city, that’s where is breaks down a bit. IF you have the money, the city is great. Loads to do, and decent food. However, the downtown is essentially a wasteland, and you basically just block it out if you don’t need to be there too often. Berkeley and Oakland across the bay are basically the same. If you don’t have the money, it’s unlivable. Rents are insane for garbage apartments (my place doesn’t even have heating). Nothing gets built, and, because the landowners don’t want their investments to potentially be hurt, nothing gets done; there is essentially no real public transit, and driving here is a special hell. All in all, it’s a wash. The weather is such an improvement over anywhere I’ve lived in, that I almost can’t believe it. I always said I liked having big seasonal swings in weather, but I was dead wrong. I do agree, though that SF is the absolute worst place to visit as a tourist. Every “sight” is terrible and just shows all of the terrible parts, and none of the good.

In OpenTTD, if you hold CTRL on the keyboard when you place down a station, you can choose which station, if any, to connect it to, provided another station is close enough (the distance allowed for this can be changed in the settings) It is an excellent way to make a station that is disjoined, and connecting, for example, bus stations to railway stations from the other side of the road.
