Ah, cool. Oh well... it's still fun that I find it for myself. $500k is a big chunk of cash in a tight game, like you say. For freight, I usually use whatever engine that has the lowest operating cost to get the job done (be pretty loaded but still able to pick up all the resources; not on Wait). On...

Hmm. I wonder if I can charge royalties.

I was thinking of making a section on the wiki, a financial challenge, where winners would make the most money by year X, for a given (fixed) savegame at year 0 there.

I'm working on it and posting results to the wiki (see e.g. Railroads! wiki: Resources ). Please jump into the wiki, if you have the time. You're already signed in, since you're here. My general impression is, no, prices don't differ between cities. But there are complications. Notice that your Mini...

I'm working on that. I'd say "it might depend". The game has a bit of demand and supply built into it. It's complicated. Paper and Newspaper prices might stay high, if nobody is working on them. Or maybe, they won't. Working on it. Keep an eye on Recent Changes in the wiki to keep up with my recent ...

Thanks for your work on the wiki, WarII. It was getting lonely out there. All your edits look good. I'm the studious type, but it takes a lot more than that to make a wiki fun. ;) I edited the wiki Main Page a little, but decided to keep my name there. Just in case somebody thought I wasn't humble. ;)

Yeah, I like that better. Go for it. I tossed that first menu out in 5 minutes. The more eyes and contributors, the merrier - RK

Looks fine with me. It was pretty garish, using that built-in T.O.C. Compact is better. I appreciate you mentioning me, but I wouldn't want folks thinking those were "my" sections. Let's take that out. Besides, I really ramble sometimes... you sure it's understandable? hehe We can all take a whack a...

Thanks Doc and Snoopy, No biggie on the search function - just as long as something works, it's good enough. I'm sure they'll otherwise fix it. Ok here's what I've tried for Debug, none of which worked: In game: ^D, tilde ` and ~ (anybody know how to turn on Console even?) Settings.ini: Debug = 1, D...

Some good ideas Doc, I'll take a look.

Now I see - I was setting Search to only look in Railroads! forums. It doesn't work then, for me. But it does work, if I just let it look at all forums. Does it work for you if you set it to look in Railroads forums?

How to enter Debug mode?

Can we players get into Debug mode, or was this restricted by the developers? There are some interesting keys as seen in this shortcut key list (see the last bullet). But I don't know how to turn it on. Anyone know? P.S. Is there a problem with the Search function for the HG forums? I can't get it t...

Ah here we are... right, it needs the extension to know what it is / how to handle it... What were you thinking of, for the Main Page? It certainly needs to be re-organized... I've only thrown out a straw man. And an unpretty one at that. Compare the Main Page of the other wiki I've worked on a lot....

It should take both of those. In the Source Filename box, just browse for it. And the Destination Filename is what you want the filename to be on the wiki. I would stay away from special characters and spaces, but alpha, numbers, underscore and dashes should work fine. So call it e.g. My_Routing_Scr...

Cool idea, War! I might also say, Nobody "owns" any particular page, including the ones I've worked on... if you can add to or improve any page, go for it! Often other folks will come along and flesh out an initial listing, or stick in another subsection on idea that occurred to them. But if it migh...

Works for me! The general idea is that if one person thinks something's interesting enough to write, multiple people will probably find it interesting to read. I would think something like that might deserve a new topic under "4. This And That". Maybe called "Railroads! Timeline" or something like t...
