I have to admit I appreciate the realism it's striving for. It may be the game closest to my own alternative TTD game idea ever, the only thing lacking in here is real-time construction, where it would take a real amount of time to build the tracks and trains. I must check it out sometime and looking forward to more videos on it
I remember trying to get from Cromford to Lincoln. The line goes to Newark and then I had to change. I got on the wrong train and started going back to Nottingham!
Thanks for the well explained introduction to this new simulation. I'm looking forward to following the series while I build over the pond in Adelaide in Australia, my home town.
I bought this after watching your previous video, loving it so far! There’s a few bits/places where it gets a bit fiddly but I’m looking forward to seeing how the dev improves things!
I have found that setting up a tram station immediately adjacent to your main rail lines allows for a significant number of transfers to occur. In my current game, WAY more pax are being fed into the main line from transfers than those that begin in initial cachement area. Consider Nottingham, with nine thousand people. You can have three spur lines, of five stations each, and with two thousand people in each of the 15 tram stations...effectively tripling the available passengers, and each turning a (small) profit. This also generates destinations from other cities, indirectly increasing their traffic as well.
learnt a couple of new things here, so that was good and any portrayal of Nottingham as a good place to be is a plus in my view. I suspect you will have all your trains running overnight when there will be almost no passengers so that might be a reason to put in depots for now until the update comes.
Ya, unless you have a huge population in your catchment area it can be fairly difficult to make decent money. I do find that the max area can seem a little small in many cases though. You would think that a bigger station should have a bigger maxed sized catchment area, or some mechanic to allow for a more dynamic sized boundary.
@@NipapornP sure but if the city is not huge enough for it's own train system yet too little for a single station you can put two stations in a same city to cover more area. Idk if that is uncommon on Britain but here in Spain that ain't weird.
If you had done a simulation at an average speed before setting the interval you would have known what the actual travel time would / could be and you could have set the interval of trains leaving sharper, might still be an option now of course after they left
With the currency being USD... I would say that the amount you start with is 1 Billion as they pretty much standardized as 1,000,000,000 being a billion and 1,000,000 as million etc. So the currency depicts the seperator.
Cool! I used to live in Notts for a few years when I worked there, next to the Castle Marina a few hundred yards from the track near what was called The Triangle, on the other side of the station. No longer, but it brought back memories, so I'm looking forward to seeing that line extension! Does the game download the full map locally, or can it also dynamically connect to a map server? Might be fun doing this on top of satellite imagery (although I guess you would see the track too clearly...)
Birmingham - Coventry - Rugby is quite good as you get above 30000 sometimes in different place in Birmingham and cov and where Rugby station is you can get over 10000 and they are about as far apart as Lincoln and nottingham Edit: don’t place one near Birmingham airport you get about 300 passengers there, go at the second station up the line in birmingham
Thank you I finally know how to connect the stations, but it is so much harder than cities skylines. I rate this game based on Mini metro way better buy the way. rated 3.5 on Mimby
Me and my friend recently played online, we built 4 (I think?) tram lines in Nuuk, Greenland (weird, I know). What was weirder is that it was actually somewhat profitable haha
Google Earth is of course a great reference to discover were all railroad tracks and stations are in the world and how the landscape looks. It shows me that Nottingham Railway Station has 6 tracks and there is a tram line direct above it, overpassing the station from south to north. At the western side the tracks are going through a short tunnel under the station building and the Carrington Street. The railroad leaving the station at the east side goes under the London Road, so the road there is the overpass, not the railtrack. East of the river the railroad runs directly north along a railyard and a depot. East of the railyard is the main road A612 overpassing the railroad. I have never been in Nottingham, all the knowledge is from Google Earth. One question, is it possible to build level crossings in the game were in real level crossings are?
Are cities also growing as like in ott, when you are servicing them with transporting people (or goods if possible?) Saw a little bit of your stream and now this vid. Haven't looked into this game yet, for one reason....i am afraid i am hooked if i look into it lol.

Rreal-time construction? Imagen how long you would have to wait tog et your first line up and running.

You needed east bound from Newark castle.
omgg, im so suprised u said mechelen so great, im from belgium myself. and u said it like a native. i was shocked. great video btw
I have visited a good number of times now and talked to many of the locals. Lots of fun times there
Looks an amazing game. Looking forward to watching this series and playing it in future.
I am really enjoying it so far.
Brilliant. I have watched every. single. video. of this game on youtube. All of them. The time lapse was excellent.

Exactly. That's the main idea in this game.
Steam has some excellent train mods - already - . I have several downloaded, and they work great!
0:28 Puente Alto and La Pintana (two communes at south-eastern Santiago de Chile)
I am going to enjoy watching this series.
Good o
Thank you for this lets Play. Looking forward to this
Hope you enjoy it!
Yessss!!! I love this and I'd definitely buy this game if not for my mac
I am deffo enjoying it
@@MasterHellish-Gaming im enjoying the gameplay as well! :)

At the moment they sill make a profit over night.
Just had to get the game and i is very nice i saw even there was a multiplayer option
There is, it's just co-op atm but I hear competitive is coming at some point.
You're on the right track Hellish you were born this wa-ay! ;)

You can try putting several stations in the same city
Trams?
@@MasterHellish-Gaming Yes, basic game mechanics: feed the train stations by trams collecting PAX from the city. ;)
@@NipapornP sure but if the city is not huge enough for it's own train system yet too little for a single station you can put two stations in a same city to cover more area. Idk if that is uncommon on Britain but here in Spain that ain't weird.

I am learning an tweaking as I go.
You can have an awesome challenge in this game..... First rail from point A to point B.....
We are going ABCB with our first line I think
great looking game
I have high hopes
All aboard, this is worth a watch. well explaned, and skips the repetative nonsence.

With very few exceptions, the British usage and American usage are now identical... Short scale
@@MasterHellish-Gaming The one time the Americans came up with a metric system that was easier to understand... (I am from the UK.)
I've enjoyed this first video on a new game for me.. I hope in time, we are not just recreating the railways that already exist
I have a feeling that might be the case as it can be too expensive to build in any other locations

It's a local map. That is why the game is 16Gb
I don't see Sherwood Forest in nottingham??? ;)
It's not in the town centre.

I am not sure if I will come back to this game. I am interested to see if it has developed well

This is going to be an epic channel takeover! I would love to see a huge tram network across a city, not sure if it would be profitable.
E2 " huge tram network" ????
@Master Hellish - Gaming Oh yes! 😎
Me and my friend recently played online, we built 4 (I think?) tram lines in Nuuk, Greenland (weird, I know). What was weirder is that it was actually somewhat profitable haha
In my experience, OpenTTD is really easy to cheese due to the lack of game balance .
There are some aspects that are a bit off
any freight or just passenger?
Only passenger

*where
No, only with two branch off junctions and a little resulting offset.
Ah it's close to Newark...
I think we might be coming back to Newark soon
You've been in mechelen, when was that? I went to school there :D
I have been there about 6 times over the years for work and LAN partys.
@@MasterHellish-Gaming i find it quite the beautiful city, I hope you've had the chance to do some sightseeing as well?
Are cities also growing as like in ott, when you are servicing them with transporting people (or goods if possible?) Saw a little bit of your stream and now this vid. Haven't looked into this game yet, for one reason....i am afraid i am hooked if i look into it lol.
Good question...at the moment... I don't know.
@@MasterHellish-Gaming - No. No dynamic growth. The engine just couldn't handle every small town in the world, and having population fluctuate.
Maybe call it the southern midland line
Thanks for the idea.. let's see how it grows
@@MasterHellish-Gaming cool and thanks for taking my sugestion :)
You should try to play transport fever 2
It's on my list
Oh man... I'm late to the show...
Get your notifications turned on ;)

Thanks
