Smr Simple!

Thanx guys for explaining this to me. Im gonna give it a try when I get back home. I think I will also change the Australia map so it places industry randomly. Maybe I will end up hauling fish from Hobart to cannery in Darwin. Now that would be a trip! :D Being in Western Australia means that I post...

Situation: 1. Im a 'tard so dont slap me please :oops: 2. Im experimenting with very simple map containing 4 cities and one resource (grain) 3. when loading map, I do not randmise it. Why is it that when I load lets say original UK map without randomising it, the placement of resources is different ...

OK, I reduced influence to a measly value of 10.0 and as a result the stations have ignored more than one track coming into them. When I doubled the track at a station, no train wanted to use it. Looks like according to the game, the additional track did not 'exist' and was used as a decoration. I t...

I have changed the numbers in the global Depots XML but could nto see any effect during gameplay. I was hoping that reducing the number will also decrease...

Having succeeded in delivering 50 passenger, I no longer bother with this particular goal as it gives only 2 objective points and thats way to few points for something that requires lot of work and outlay. I still connect all the cities and make them terminals but dont bother with passenger goal. I ...

Been playing this game a lot for couple of months now mostly on Tycoon level with 3 opponents and hard routing. I noticed that AI always uses very simple train routing: a. pickup resource b. deliver resource to city c. repeat It is up to other trains to collect the processed goods from the city and ...

With so many suggestions posted already I recommend that a whole new game be produced. Its really annoying that a game like with so much potential had been given such a poor treatment by our God Sid!

Do you normally upgrade your trains as soon as new engines come out or do you wait until its mtc costs become too high? I normally upgrade when mtc costs get to around 20% (divide mtc cost by train's income for the year) unless of course I can see much bigger benefit from getting better engine much ...
