Server 2 Temperate Mini-CityBuilder (3000 population,2005-2030) / Re: marketing expenses

« Last post by bob-der-baumeister on March 11, 2026, 04:13:43 pm »

Hi all,
Yes, this "feature" is annoying. You can disable it by removing the value (or set it to 0). The problem is that it is enabled random per town you had build a station.

Is this a bug? Or is there any way to disable it forever?

Kind regards,
Roman

Good afternoon, on server 2 there is also a problem with "other expenses"; as soon as 70 thousand is accumulated, it is immediately spent on advertising, making it impossible to buy anything expensive.

i had the same bug today.
it was auto-advertising in ~half of towns, where i placed airports (checked by station 95+ % ratings). but i am absolutely sure that i did not do it manually.
when i manually set auto-adv to 1% rating in problem towns, money leak stopped.

Check if you have enabled powerfund or advertising regulary for example. Look at town window under CB. Be carefully if you have opened a town window and trying to make a screenshot with ctrl+s -> it´s same hotkey for building a statue in this town.

Hello!
I am not sure if it is an issue or i have overseen something. Since the new version (15.1), it looks like i have massive financial deductions in others, which i cannot explain.
Everytime i have gains, it takes roughly half of it.
Is it a subvention which causes this and i did not pay attention to?

Thanks!

Server 6 Temperate New CityBuilder (4000 population,Easy,1980-2100) / Tactical moves against other players in OpenTTD – a question about the rules

« Last post by Kufeliusz on October 01, 2025, 12:41:35 pm »

In one of the recent games, one of the players built railway stations at all the coal mines I was using to supply my city. He ordered the trains to “full load” and delivered the cargo not to his own city, but to nearby power plants – not to supply his city, but to prevent me from using those resources.

I’m not complaining, I’d just like to know if this is allowed under the rules and whether I can use the same tactic in the future – especially against this player

well, it depends of current town requirements and would be built in claimed town of the company only, look:

         if (water>0){
            //build water tower
            this.PlaceIndustry(0x16 , 0x09, 1, 5, RANDOM,town_id);


town_id is the id of the claimed town.
0x16 is ID of water tower
