Heads up to anyone participating in the hijinks at 9:33, you ALSO have to enable the "Participate in automated survey" setting in your game options. WE WILL MAKE OUR MARK 💪😤 EDIT: WE DID IT! survey.openttd.org/summaries/2024/wk17/14.0#game.settings.construction.max_bridge_length
You know, I've spent like a while trying to find a good openttd series on RU-vid, this was one of the best. You are one funny, charming, and entertaining duder. Thanks for this thing, it was a blast to watch!
I got drawn in by the thumbnail of this episode, wondering what mod the 3D view was, but ended up watching the entire series. Absolutely fantastic! I love the background jazz, but the mixing up of the music keeps it fresh (and the occasional editing tricks at the start - I found the whole screen rotating to keep the train vertical very funny). Your style has a nice cadence to it and it makes it easy to watch (my gf likened it to Jeb Gardener's content, and I feel that's reasonable - in a good way). I'll definitely be looking out for your next series! I'm not an OpenTTD expert, but I've played a bit, so this is a nice level for me. The only thing I felt wasn't explained or mentioned that I'd have liked to know what they were for were the little impossible-to-navigate loop-backs that you do before merges - I assume it's to make sure trains wait further back, but I don't really understand how that compares to other methods? Either way, fantastic content!
Thank you for the kind words 😀The 3D mod is something I programmed in unity that generates meshes from heightmaps, and projects a full-map screenshot onto the meshes. The loop-backs are priority lanes, in short, they give the right-of-way to the lane whos traffic flow is more important. I probably should have explained those at some point considering they are all over the place 😅
Very epic 3D outro and an end to a very good series, also the staring trains 1-510 really make me laugh. I am looking up to the next series. Its really hard to find a good OpenTTD youtuber these days. Thanks for the series, really inspired me to actually learn the game. Once again thanks and bye bye.
What an incredible series! I'd love to see a season 2 (maybe with a bit less water - I think it definitely allows my networks to be more creative, and besides, mountains are a more fun challenge to navigate imho), or even some more advanced tutorials like you mentioned. The biggest thing for me is how to upgrade a junction with more lanes, that's certainly the biggest thing I struggle with yet you've made it look easy doing it nearly every episode. I end up having to completely remove a junction to rebuild it because I can't wrap my head around it. You could even pick up on a series lugnutz himself started and fix some viewers networks if you get any map submissions you think would make for some good content.
I definitely agree about the water, it really cut the functional space of this map down to half what it should have been. A 2+ lane junction tutorial is high on my todo list, I'll make sure to cover adding additional lanes as well. There really aren't any tutorials that cover anything past 2 lanes, and even for 2 lanes and under the choices are pretty slim. I've considered doing a "fixing your networks" type series, but I don't really know where I could take submissions from. Maybe I could give out my discord tag or something.
Well played tat is, really well. I play OTTD too but not vreating Videos. My playstyle is a completely different one. But that's what the game makes so interesting - everyone is free to do whatever they want 🙂 Thank you for this series and looking forward to the next one
This was a really great episode, I really like how you explain the concept behind what you're going to build and then show it in an entertaining way with great music choices! I would be very interested in watching intermediate/advanced tutorials you make in the future!
i think the only thing your decoration lacks is narrative, being able to tell what happens in an area, otherwise love this channel and all content you put out
I always wanted a map with high car traffic, played several times but despite my first games placed in 2006, I am nothing near any level of expert and just amature in this game. I wonder if someone as incredible in the game as you can pull this one out) Love the series. Watched it overnight and had great fun, thank you! You deserve at least 10k subscribers at this point AT LEAST! Wish you good luck and further inspiration!
@@ChuggersLRI have been play with him before. Back then openTTD coop is busy and everyone is having fun. There’s literally guy who create calculator with logic train, man I just miss those memories. I play this game last 4 years
@@Flowerthe9 I'm trying my best to make that stuff popular again, there are a few people that I coop with now that are pretty good, and we are finding new people sometimes too
That was a great series! I wonder if for the next series you should a more passenger/cargo dist oriented game. There’s lots of great mods in the Japan Set umbrella that give an interesting look to the game. Let me know if you need grf recommendations
@@ChuggersLR I only now got this notification, but in this case, you can use cargodist to make it so that passengers will have a specific destination in mind that you have to take them to. They'll only look for destinations that can be reached on your network, but it creates an interesting.
» There are a lot of great tutorials for beginners » Most of tutorials: meeee you don't need block signals they are bad and outdated be like us and use PBS
been playing TTD on and off since it was just transport tycoon. reached the end of your series and still i cant make intricate networks like your and others have. all i can think of is connecting end-to-end, no hubs,ML, SL etc.
Maybe you could play some FIRS for your next series - its my favorite mod and only one I play. Also wouldnt mind to see some other industry replacement mods in action if you dont like FIRS 😅
I've been looking for some lesser-known industry sets lately, I've found a couple that I have some plans to make videos for. I'm just afraid FIRS might end up being too long of a series/might be too overwhelming to tackle solo. I've got a steeltown game running with a few friends at the moment and we've only serviced around half the industries after quite a bit of building and I can't imagine how I'd handle that on my own
@@ChuggersLR oh, I can see your point and how that would be a Herculean task considering the production boosts with supplies. I only play citybuilder games, 14k goal in FIRS extreme economy being my favorite but that's completely different experience, such game takes about 2h and you don't get to build insanely complex and busy networks like you seem to enjoy the most 😅
To hell with tutorials, enough of those around. Hopefully the next map will be less cramped, the game feels too toy-like when rail junctions are several times larger than towns.
Press the "Find missing content online" button when you've got the save selected, it will search the online content browser for any available mods you may be missing. There are some that are not available on the content browser, but as far as I know, you should be able to load the save just fine without them. Edit: If anyone else is having this issue, you can load the save just fine, though the trees and terrain foundations will not look the same as in these videos
@@ChuggersLR Two GRF's are proving quite tricky if you are able to assist mate. its the external ones that openTTD doesnt like. The 'New Tree' and 'Infrastucture/found/found'. sorry mate. long time player but quite new to all these GRFs!
@@williamsaunders5056 I managed to track them both down, here's the links to both of them 😀 New Trees: www.simuscape.net/simutalk/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=152 Foundations Replacement: www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=636582#p636582
It's a program I made for this series, it generates a mesh from an exported openttd heightmap, then projects an exported image of the map onto the mesh. It doesn't do anything besides look pretty, there's no actual gameplay functionality to it.
