I'm not interested in a transportation sim

>>16193555

Because the citizens are celebrating my every plane crash

How do I make the choo choos happy?

whats this?

>not playing on toyland

The game's transportation works in "get cargo from A to B" fashion, which kills any fun there may be in trying to build a passenger network between towns, since everyone who got into your bus will always get off at the next stop. There's somehow less depth to passenger trains than there is to industrial ones, since unlike humans, wheat and diamonds actually have specific destinations they want to get to.

jschlatt pls go

Then they start celebrating my train crashes.

There is a setting to disable this, go to cargo distribuition and choose symmetric for passengers and mail

every time I try to play online with randos a bunch of brazilian niggers buy out all the "good" land and ruin any fun of the game.

Some of those openttdcoop constructions are kind of dumb and not actually as functional as they are cool-looking.

Last time I tired Simutrans (which was admittedly years ago) it was a total joke compared to OpenTTD.

What were your problems, the only thing I don't like is track building, the game requires a bit of reading before you play, you can't just pick up coal anywhere and drop it off at any steelworks or powerplant, these places already have arranged contracts and all resources have a pre set destination, you can't just start transporting passengers, you need to build a network that links together multiple parts of towns and then multiple towns together.

>>16195718

Clumsy general interface and the network play support was total garbage (desyncs + truly awful chat interface) when I tried it. By the way you can get the same destination-oriented gameplay that Simutrans offers with the CargoDest OpenTTD patch which has been around for a while.

I haven't played it online yet, I'd imagine online play would be hell just because it's nowhere near as lax as OpenTTD, it's very strict on routing, you need to work optimally to make a decent profit. It also doesn't have factories endlessley produce goods, you need to drain production to the end point or it will stop requesting new resources completely stalling your lines. The game offers many basic features that OpenTTD just doesn't offer, like being able to rotate the camera, a day/night cycle, and more detailed terrain editing, as well as the ability to build above and below ground, although I haven't actually figured all of that out yet. There's even a far greater timespan starting with horses and carts, new industry types are added over time too. The game at it's base seems overall superior, but I haven't played it online, the soundtrack is grating as fuck as well. You should give it another try.

>new vid

oh cool

advice: get a service running to build good will from the municipality.

Reworking land/road/building is allways going to take a toll on reputation.

You can also simply bribe (to an extent) if my memory serve me right.

I personnally love to help megacity development, and using subways in the process, which require a land at least 2 tiles high.

it's feasible without any magic tool, but it takes effort, and patience.

Because if you want to succeed you have to build trains and I would rather create a trucking company but trucks are worthless so fuck it.
