:E

He's only Trying.

Yeah, the townspeople were enslaved as train drivers for his compa- I mean relocated to other towns

I don't know about "whole new way to play the game," might just be that NUTS Unrealistic Train Set has really low costs. But thank you for your nice comment!

@@LugnutsK I am way behind with strategy, trust me, things may seem normal to you but something like a fully upgraded backbone hub just blows my mind. That's what I'm talking about with the "whole new way" thing. Looking forward to the series!

Max Coppen Ah timelapses of course, why didn’t I think of that xD

@@LugnutsK xD

Please no timelapses. I want to see all the details.

@@donwald3436 yeah, if someone don't want to watch this just give the time when it is end

Thanks!

Ugh can I not copy from YT... that’s annoying

There is also a link in the description

LugnutsK ooh yay

Go to the "Settings" menu and search for "Maximum length of trains". Default is 7, max is 64

I have breakdowns off, causes too much trouble when there are a lot of trains. I avoid terraforming too much. I use the realistic acceleration model so slopes aren't a problem as long as the trains don't have to stop and restart on them. And for the power station, you get paid more $$ the farther you transport the cargo so farther is better (unintuitive, but thats how OpenTTD works). I hope it lasts a long time too, thanks for your comment!

I have played Factorio a few years ago. It is a lot of fun, but I am just an average Factorio player.

Good suggestions, will do. Also good question, I don’t have any reason I’m using far end, near end is probably a better choice. But no difference as long as the station length match train lengths.

@@LugnutsK Also a suggestion for a tutorial vid: mega stations. Just started a new game with your tips and realised it's something you haven't covered yet

@@Giekeme Main stations? They are usually not too too complex, that would be a good video.

No wrong way to play as long as you're having fun :). Best way to learn shortcuts is to just roller your fingers across "qwer", "asd", "1234" and see what each of those do -- I use all of those for rail building, signals, terraforming, and demolition. Also "x" for toggling transparency, "b" for bridges and "t" for tunnels. Other big ones is or + clicking, for auto-building signals, bridges, and orders. Learned some new order ones from viewers

Yes there is and it's very useful to know. After you place the first signal CTRL+DRAG your mouse, then let go, and it will fill up signals all down that direction of track.

On vanilla it might be pretty expensive. That first steam engine is quite costly, so I'd be careful. But he is using mods so it's cheaper.

It's in settings yes. You can actually increase the max tile train length all the way to 64, but I've never seen anyone do that

I mainly play cargo, but I have done some passenger. Normal pax is a little too simple, can either make it more complex with logic like self-regulating networks (SRNW) or turn on cargodist (something I haven't tried).

I have some videos about station rating and the feeder stations here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLQdGFFtr_J3aMZbtiG2d0O-Iq3TtSP3NG Let me know if you have questions about them

Loan from the bank :)

Roads are always at 90 degree angles, tracks can be at 45 degree angles as shown (but nothing more curved than that)

Good question. Stations do NOT have a build-in path signal. However when trains turn around they will try to reserve paths if they are in a block with path signals. So effectively, terminus stations have path signals because the trains turn around.

@@LugnutsK oh I see, but if I want to have a station where things enter from either end I should have path signals on both ends of the station?

@@ethanjack4298 Yup, you would need two-way path signals on both ends, heading away from the station platforms.

Some vehicles have an older creation date. The cheapest steam vehicle you get actually gets made in the 1920's. He's playing with mods though, it's different vehicles all with their own creation dates

It should be there, bananas.openttd.org has it as "NUTS Unrealistic Train Set 0.8.4"

@@LugnutsKI must have just scrolled past it cheers for the help!

Main Hotkeys I use: A - rail tool, S - signals, D - demolish, R - red/remove, q/w/e - raise/lower/level, t - tunnel, b - bridge, x - toggle transparency. ctrl-drag for placing signals, ctrl-click for cycling signals, ctrl-click for shared order cloning trains, ctrl-click for full load orders, ctrl-click to stop/start trains, and probably a lot other things. You can learn a lot of them by just clicking random keys and try ctrl-clicking things. wiki.openttd.org/Hotkeys I have bridge transparency turned on so I can see signals and tracks underneath them. Early game it doesn't matter so much, but for big hubs it's pretty necessary. For the factories, it's done by city name, so if the its "Kefingfield Factory" and "Kefingfield Power Plant" they will be connected. Thanks for watching!

@@LugnutsK ty :)

Yeah, NUTS trains are super cheap. And also yes, some cargo types fall off hard with delivery time (mainly valuables and goods)

Oh yeah hmm

In the newgrf settings, select the NUTS train set and in the bottom right of the window will be a “parameters” button. Click that and there will be a parameter to set the signal appearance.

@@LugnutsK Would u be interested in doing a detailed walk through for very large stations with long trains and multiple cargoes?

Nope, but you can join the OpenTTDCoop discord if you want discord.gg/mAWqWPQ |

Here: www.openttd.org/downloads/openttd-releases/latest

@@LugnutsK Hi Lugnuts. I hope you're doing well. You make great OpenTTD content. Waiting for your next upload

Good question, it's copied and pasted from my documents/openttd/openttd.cfg so it has the exact versions and parameters for the preset I'm using. I'm guessing you can't just copy and paste it into your own openttd.cfg unless you have them all installed already, but I haven't tested it

@@LugnutsK and why do you have 2 NewGRFs about stations ? : industrial_stations_renewal and chips_station_set. Are they doing things differently ?

Just for more variety. I usually use CHIPS for FIRS games since the textures match, and ISR for everything else. But I like the option to use either. I probably should have also included Japanese stations or something else for pax, wasn't thinking about it

Any idea where to put the cfg on macos?

@@ChazAllenUK I suspect it would be in a folder called ".openttd" in your home directory ("~/.openttd/") though that might be more linux rather than macos

Didnt even check, what kinds of video this is. Just pressed it to impress :). And now that i know that u are doing a series, i am super hyped! gl

Good question! It prevents industries from appearing there, which would block construction.

@@LugnutsK That, and it's a good way to remember a good path to build on

A - track tool S - Signals R - toggle Remove D - Demolish T - Tunnel B - Bridge Q/W/E - lower/raise/level land X - toggle transparency del - close all windows And CTRL clicking is useful, does many different things depending on context. What do you mean by don't need to (be?) in the station? They will just go back and forth between their small and big station, moving coal from the small to the big

@@LugnutsK Thanks! I thought a train had to be "in the station" to unload, but it seems you can bring it along side the station to unload?

@@tonydesaire9326 It is in the station, if you place multiple stations next to each other they automatically connect to become one station. (You can press CTRL to prevent it from automatically doing that)

If its not super early game and you have some decent airplanes, just put two big airports in big cities on opposite sides of the map. $$$ increases with distance (for all cargo/pax) so airplanes are OP If there are no decent airplanes your best bet is to just move some coal or pax a good distance, something like in this first LP episode

Cool

Haha but FPS are hard for me :P

straight line gameplay is the same every time, if you terraform less, you get a different organic network every game, especially nice to see it on the map

I thought I was boring lmao. Plus these are starters. He'll change it later.

it's not like everything goes to plan and all industries and places go exactly where he wants it to be. therefore he wont just use straight lines because maybe it would use more money and ofc the industries arent straight ahead of his line.
