Title: EPIC FAILS
Post by: alex879ro on August 10, 2012, 02:16:08 pm
I thought since we are using forum daily, we may as well have some fun. Ofc , for the respect of the players i insist that we keep it anonymous so no posting of the name and country of player who did this. However, we can post the server where we found it.:)

Enjoy!

I found this today on server 8. I believe you really need skills to do such a thing:)

haha wooden maglev bridge would have been even better, maybe we should give a "Wood Lover" achievement for it, or we call it "Futuristic Nostalgia"  8)

New One:

He built all those waypoints...to get the final result: 1 train in the queue and 3 free platforms...

Genious!!! Batt...why didn`t we think of this?:)

it's a example on some players still don't understand what PBS signals means (ofc, ttd wikis don't help much there: try Advanced Settings --> Interface --> Display options --> Activate "Show reserved tracks" option. Basically explained here: http://wiki.openttd.org/Signals
Meanwhile, I respect ALL players that use pre-signals correctly - because was a hard learning before PBS take that to the easy level. My opinion, ofc :)
So, in my humble opinion, how would be actual players gameplay without PBS and Waypoints? I've seen many of those... I've been of of those too... until learned how to work with new signal types... and in same way players that are not used to the new ones can ask: do anyone know how to use properlly the pre-signals? And yes... all of them are available: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48606680/Selection2668755.png. But the question remains... would it be Epic Fails backwards?

i used those in the past, but i learned here that it is much easier to build an extra track :)

The problem is not the signals. The problem is that he was so scared that his passenger station containing many routes would block....that he actually placed so many waypoints. The station`s capacity has been largely affected by those waypoints

That`s the risk you take if you place a main system (grain,livestock,oil,wood,iron ore) and a secondary system (goods, steel) on the same line and in the same terminals ^^

Can become a mess relatively quickly.

I tend to prefer finding oil refineries and factories (and if possible food processing) in the same area so I can build one core station to serve all of them. With goods and food produced you need to pay attention. It isn't too difficult. Even on 4 platforms you can have a high amount of trains without jams if you split into 2 approach tracks (with long enough capacity) with "raw materials" and "goods/food" waypoints for the types of train.

:))  I was trying to give imus an idea about the commands...I checked s9, and right after that you entered :) I didn`t notice that, so beeing sooo sure of myself cause I knew I checked before, I tested the command. And the result was totally un-expected  but at least it`s worth to enrich this topic:)))
Sorry about it :)
