what about 262 going to langenberg
from where
wolfersveen
the point is just to connect Milsbeek
yes
and also connect the two larger trains to the branch
I could also extend it all the way to mosselaar
like this
I will grow these towns a bit more then tho
hm
because two lines is a bit too good
but not if they grow a bit
this is kind of cheating but also not I think
I have city growth turned off but I fund growth in places with a hoge bereikbaarheid essentially
nice
which is vaguelly how it works irl I think
some towns on the map really just have an OP position so I grew them
wachtum
oudeschild
Fransum
map
these were basically nowheres
bus 265
this will be 2bph
essentially more a city bus than streekbus
this is good
I have a bad idea
opheffen station diependal
because
for some reason on this line the stoppers are a minute faster than the express trains
so everyone takes those and they are overloaded
im just gonna do this as a test
yes and train types
I think what ruins this is the diesel sneltrein that runs here
also im secretly planning the last island
cool
where
im just hoping this will happen
the thing in the middle with the electric triangle
and the one diesel
I havent decides on services yet
figuring that out now
im thinking about how to do the outher ring line
it's cool if this is one very long stoptrein but how to link it to the cities
this should be like nrw REs
wdym
they have cool branches where there’s one long stoptrein and like an RE that goes up to big town from the actual mainline
hmm alrigh
but idk
might just make shuttles then
If I can get the ring lines to cross where the shuttles come
hmm
I was thinking like
this would only really suck for the people living on the unconnected section
im gonna have one long stoptrein because cool
I would’ve thought
this is what I came up with
maybe even run yellow and orange double
this isn’t that far
I like your net though
thanks
theres basically three areas of this island
the northeast penis
the central bit
and the mountains
the northeast and central have good trains
you just shouldnt live in the mountains
yea
im gonna start building
theres gonna be some cool infra
theres gonna be soem single track IC
this place is difficult
very foute bedoeling
you cant really do this without making very long tunnels
maybe this should just not have trains
these are the connections to the ring line
this is why there will only be these two
island ring line will be mostly single track
this is gonna be horrible
theres probably gonna be buses faster for some trips
no im not making more tunnels
good
this should be pretty bad
you don’t want Zwitserland praktijken where you build a basistunnel for a valley of 10k people
Rico basistunnels
buses
buses
nice 0 minute stop
bussen
I've only ever used busses to service stations within the same town or between two very close towns. does it really work at lengths like these?
This town doesn't have a station
My goal is to provide transport to every single town
Buses like these lose a lot of money
Have you been playing this map continuously for the last 2 years? How do you maintain interest?
Pretty continuously
When I lose interest in playing this map I lose interest in the game in general
And I just play something else like ets2 or factorio
Play that a few weeks and then go back to ottd
ets 2 gang
wait, two years real time?? are you on like, year 690000?
how big is the map
4k by 2k
How much is completed
No maglev :(
stats
its mostly branched that are unelectrified
but soem mainlines as well
I could map this
I did this so I could have diesel IC
I think that is a cool concept
@versed cairn unelectrified map
This is good
this is kinda germany or france
explain
Having a diesel IC over this kind of range is pretty France or Germany
It's not very Netherlands due to the efficient electrification they have
And it's not UK because this would be a stoptrien
Sneltrien
Whatever you call it
Or it would be much longer
Was there any sort of story to which lines get electrified and which don't?
basically almost all sets of electrified/unelectrified lines for a small network
theres not a lot of single isolated lines
I see
germany and France are like
the base line is electrified
but there’s plenty of diesel
I like the city where the 3 unelectrified lines converge on that one electrified bit
wapserveen
it’s probably more germany because decentralised network
True
Troyes Mulhouse mainline being diesel is pretty cool
diesel IC city
this is like the direct route from a major urban area to paris and it just never happened
and now they have LGV so it probably never will
here too
this is kinda the lore for this section as well
this will never be electrified
because better lines around it already are
Good lore
germany has way more electrification than this
the worst IC of the map is also close to here
also it isnt using the high speed line because it is too slow for that and would mess up the electric trains
average occupancy of this is like 15%
proper train
It's giving Birmingham/West Midlands
does a slow service with the same route exist
Yes this is a proper train
What's your minimum frequency?
for trains 1tph
idk if this makes sense
ignore the numbers for now
thin lines are 1tph
and thick 2tph
IC11 is cool
This is very high
the reason this stops in niebert is essentially buses
But going lower can make life complicated
I usually aim for 80% on the busiest stretch
Then whatever the average is just is
This is nice
I basically prefer to lengthen trains then improve frequency
this is why almost everything is still 1tph
theres a few spots where I had to kick it up to 2tph
I dont have more than 2tph anywhere except when its two combined services
I was thinking that after this map is full I maybe want to improve services and have like good commuter networks going on
But I'll see
tph = trains per hour?
this is mainly because I dont want to have too many like 4bph boats
yes
I only have like 3 half hourly ferries
I fucked up
cant play this game for 2 weeks now
I clicked send all trains to depot accidentally instead of template replacement
so I loaded an old save and now all the ferries I just made are gonna
fuck this game
rip
rico ttd
F
No auto saves?
Why not just send the trains out
we're back again
I took a month to recover from my autosave ragequit and thesis problems
but we're back
bus 229
bus 270
this is awesome
only schimmert
I think this is pretty good
nice
gonna do some trains
what do the number means
3-18 and 3-19
irl this would be a combining train
I cant push 2tph through that left section
just manually compile the patch
im gonna try to knoop everything
this needs to take less than 60 minutes
its coming guys
3-20
teringjoekel
yes
this would be like if the 9000 and the 4600 got doorgekoppeld maybe
theres probably gonna be some long waits on this
also cool this serves like no cities
dit is van formaat
omlopen
It looks like almost all knopen will work out
Only the top bit in the peninsula is gonna be a bottleneck
in terms of timing?
yes
I might print this on A0 when I'm finished
I think A1 might already be enough for this
rico how long have you been working on this
im gonna evaluate all trains and buses
check if I need extra or less capacity
first trains
0-1 lengthened
0-1b lengthened
0-2 lengthened
0-3 lengthened
0-8 shortened
0-30 lengthened
0-60 shortened
0-73 shortened
ok onto buses
0-47 back to 1bp2h
0-88 to 1bp4h
this is now the least frequent bus of the map
these are the two unique towns it serves
0-170 to 1bp2h
0-190 non articulated bus
very cool
nummers
ik doe dit morgenmiddag als ik er aan denk
@warm jewel
kut
@warm jewel
ik zal even kijken
this might be good
it’s mostly well designed I think though
for ferries I think directness is quite valuable cause it can save much time
Hmm I'll see
these could be cool but maybe less demand
n
im gonna check all main ferry frequencies
F6 to 1bp2h
F15 to 1bp2h
F21 to 1bp2h
F24 to 1bp2h
first need to finish off some buses though
bus 279
bus 278
bus 281
bus 903a/b
bus 904a/b
bus 905
new buses coming soon
hype
@warm jewel opinion?
I don’t think there’s a lot of other ways to do this
maybe making the 2 a loop instead of going to Basse
700 population
hmm
didn't ask my opinion but this could be funny
combining 3 and 1 could be funny too for long boy route
knoop
nice
right now it is planned as two hourly but if the route is under 60 minutes it can be hourly
bus 7 and 8 will also be two hourly
this is kind of a rare area of the map where most trains are half hourly
not a lof of proper ones
lutjelollum kindof
Kustlicht is fake
red just runs 5 minutes behind yellow
Weperpolder?
no
for the vink treinen would be good
there is a fairly good connection
from the green express trains from the left to vink
this is a 10 minute connection
so pretty decent
10 minute connection
bus 1
deventer
weperpolder-oukoop is a congested line
shuttle
bus 2
yes
fuck kamp I geuss
added line numbers
man this is a lot of roads to build
Do you simply make these maps in paint or something like that?
Yes
i actually think you did a very good job
esp on the 10/11/12
im not sure i love the 18
and with 14/15 i assume these will run ene and andere halfuur?
Also, is this a scenario/heightmap you're playing, or is it randomly generated? I really like the multiple islands aspect of it.
Depends on connections
hoe
bus 5
pretty foute bus
why
spoor ligt niet heel lekker i guess
bus 10
having buses in a mesh is pretty hard for transfers
I can only have one maatgevende overstap
bus 11
I know what I'll do after all towns are connected
I'll add a shit ton of freight trains, grow towns and op cargo generation
And then fix the problems that will come from this
I'm gonna make a plan soon
these are the areas I want to further develop
What are the main railway routes on the big island?
Rico structuurvisie?
Rico BO-MIRT
@wheat meadow these are all the mainlines
its kind o like a structuurvisie yes
my goal is to get an excuse to add more trains
and to have like regional centers in the map
you need to have a phs eventually
I dont think I will really get that
because all my services I make based on demand
I dont have any real 4tph services yet
phs is fairly demand based
this isnt nodig outside hyperspits
hmm
theres a few services close to over 70% full at max length
1-1
18-1
0-75
I think I will upgrade this last one to a mainline with sneltreinen
im gonna grow all the towns on island 1 now
see how this will work out
curious to see how the regional networks come together
bus 12
bus 13
none of these buses connect properly to each other nice
only to trains
bus 15
bus 14
bus 15 will have a 40 minute transfer somwhere
jammer
I think 11/12/13 don’t really need to connect to eachother
these won’t be large stromen
Bus 18 will be cancelled
It's way faster to take the bus to peelkant and then train so nobody is using this
buurtbus
very good
new bus 18
good
bus 24
tunnels
maybe I did too muhc
nah I dont like it
it doesnt fit to the network structure of other parts of the map
Hub
building new lines
Ik zal hoogstpersoonlijk protest maken en een petitie tekenen om te voorkomen dat deze plaats een trein krijgt, dit heeft een 4 baans weg nodig
boot
Sinas let Rico build train
N9
updating my map
I hereby declare anyone who takes a shuttle service run by a train gets, -20 cents subisidy
Incorrect
Exhibit A
Where do we draw the line for what counts as a shuttle service?
anything with an intermediate stop
I was going to say airport expresses were another example but those are often bad in the UK
maybe somewhat of a consistent schedule matters?
how'd you make these? they're very pretty
I was also thinking about the nature of the termini
same but then i quickly arrived at there is nothing here that will lead to a consistent definition
I guess
like what would you propose
Usually one end will be an easily accessible transport hub, while the other end will be a final destination
Although which end is which may depend on the individual journey
Or like your perspectives
yeah but isnt that like the nature of very many rail services
An airport shuttle could consider a city centre as an easily accessible transport hub and the airport as a destination
Or vice versa
hmm
Like an intercity train just going between two cities
I don't really count as a shuttle
Like Eurostar London-Paris isn't really a shuttle
But Le Shuttle claims to be a shuttle in its name
seems a tad too consistent for that
Inkscape actually
oh, interesting! I hadn't thought about that.
Almere Centrum to Amsterdam Centraal
extra treinen
You need p treinen
kapot
Could be a phantom path res bug
Most likely
Destroyed and rebuilt it and it works again
hersteld
this is going to ferry every 15 minutes
finished growing all the towns on that island
R
train 21-2
nice
T21-3
Rico is living life right
Grind jumbo
Ttd
What else does a guy need
A social life or actually fulfilling activities would be a good
!!
I just like bussen with lijnnummer 20-29
this tends to be reserved for very dikke streeklijnen
like the slow drachten to leeuwarden
or Assen Steenwijk along the hoofdvaart
Leiden Noordwijk
sorry if you mentionned it before, whats the logic behind your naming convention?
incredible work btw ")
should the yellow line be non stop
is this a new map?
of course not
I dont see outside connection
cool how many olieboorplatforms there are btw
How would I improve the buses
Buurtbussen
I would make the yellow line go via ‘t vlaandertje
unless this is very bad for rijtijden
The yellow line skips it because it's kinda intended as an express line
Because by train it's pretty hard to do this route
oh yeah thats a good point actually
cause the netwerk is 8
i mean if its vol
i also just wonder how big the time difference is
but 't vlaandertje - kaarschot is pretty bad like this also
i guess this will depend on transfers
o
mean het/the in english
Set Hertogenbosch
Het Vlaandertje
Des Hertogenbos
How do you make this kind of service maps?
Many hours in some editing software to craft it yourself unfortunately.
it’s made in Inkscape but yes a lot of labour goes into these I think
These all seem very depressing places to live
If I lived in a bus 27 town I would move house
why
metslawier station
hourly bus
bus 5
ferry 1 and 2
1 is hourly and 2 is two hourly
bus 8
bus 8 is gonna have a rare timetable
de aansluiting
goederenpaden
im gonna start with red, these will be very hard paden
I might triple or quad track sections
je moet treinen er tussendoor drukken rico
its impossible to fit in some places
low traffic lines are so nice
its kinda druk here
goederen op 200kmh lijnen is gewoon niet heel lekker
dit is bij mij op de ausbaustrecke
the cargo trains need like stupid long wait times in a few placse to get the pad again
pad
so long no updates :c
Is there an actual ferry that transport vehicles or just cargo and passengers?
It's not possible to make ferries in OpenTTD that transport vehicles
Would be cool to have train ferries like on the Messina strait
@warm jewel rate buses
dit is best wel een rommelig stuk
tweede rot naar koper is echt een flink stuk parallel
middenstuk is ook best wat
wat zijn IC stops?
ja
Dan is de huidige setup denk ik te verantwoorden
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
bus 284
krabbnedijke
