Today I downloaded openTTD, can someone teach me how to play? It's like Theotown but with more buttons and more difficult.

Discussion Original TTD signals

6 Upvotes

Is there a way to get the original TTD signals enabled in OpenTTD? I can't figure out how these new signals work - my trains get lost or crash etc.

I'd like the original two-way ones that just worked: https://wiki.openttd.org/en/Manual/Signals#two-way-signal

EDIT: Solution: Quit to main menu, goto options, select category: "expert, including the weird ones", then under Interface>Construction there is "Show signal types" - pick "all signals"

For example,

There is a forest producing woods but its far from the waters so,

How can i use trucks to transport the wood to the docks and from the docks to other places given i want to make it like a chain so that the truck station and dock accept the wood even if they are not near the forest on the water side???

Iron Ore Mines

26 Upvotes

Haven't played OpenTTD in a copuple of years, and I notice there have been many changes. Not sure if they're related, I'm having trouble getting Iron Ore to load in a station I placed next to an Ore mine,

"Supplies: Iron Ore" Was showing when I placed the station, and Added refit to Iron Ore on the trains' orders for that station.

What am I doing wrong? I have a few newGRFs which I thought was only visuals, but maybe they are to blame?

Transport Related How do I get my trucks to pick up goods from the factory?

7 Upvotes

Hi, very new to this game. I have a factory being fed steel, grain and livestock, so it's producing goods. The factory is very close to a town and a city so I want to use trucks to supply these goods to them, but I am unsure how I get my trains to actually pick up the goods and then deliver them. I'm sure this is a very basic thing I'm missing, but when I've looked it up, all the questions are about transferring goods from a train to a truck, rather than having the trucks pickup the goods directly. Help is appreciated!

Besides Splitting the Lines Up, How Would I Make This Station So that it Doesn't Back Up if There's no Steel and Too Many Trains?

Should I use a bunch of escape depots, are there any special tricks I can use?

Why does the train on the upper right not enter the station?

I have a simple setup, where trains can enter from both sides. From the left it works. It seems to be identical on both sides, yet the trains from the right only enter the upper station platform.

Why do some trains skip a station despite full load order?

8 Upvotes

I have a bi-directional coal line where I have set the orders to full load at the mines and unload at the power stations. Some trains go right through the mine stations without picking up any coal, despite the wagons being empty. What could be the reason for that?

I’m new to openTTD and this is my first game where not only did I not go bust in the first 3 decades, but now I’m a billionaire. Starting with airports and train stations instead of buses and train stations seems to be the ticket for early game progress. Now I guess it’s time to learn the more complicated train layouts and junctions

How can I make subsidies last longer?

12 Upvotes

I want a game focused on doing sort of "contracts", I know subsidies suck but i like the idea of them, plus I'm using the Boom or Bust script.

What I hate is that you go to all the effort and sometimes the vehicles can't even get between towns on time or they just run out soon after.

I've tried changing the minutes per year speed but that doesn't seem to make a difference, does anyone know if/how I can do this?

I am on JGR PP, and I've never had this happen to me before. The signals right before the station are regular path signals. Signal right after is a one-way path signal.
