After playing the first round, there were a few things I want to point out, some may be really not so good, some maybe personal opinion.
Thats why I will sort it after importance.

VERY IMPORTANT:

Terraforming limit is needed in any way (the best way I know is a limit of 50/100 tiles with a slow cooldown)
-I know there are rules, but at night, on a extreme long server, they will be ignored, and the whole map will be terraformed - which is very boring...


NO 90° turns for TRAINS!


Personal Opinion

Train/Car/Plane limit was okay,
-planes should stay at 50
-trains can be reduced a bit, 1000 is to much (800?)
-cars was ok

-Train length I personal liked 7 tiles trains, but I know for an extreme server the most want longer, but my suggestion is, dont make it to big.
Or if it is made big, there should be some difficulty in the track design, like if the train has to take 2 turns at the same time, it slows down.

Minor things
-a little less slow down on slopes, but just a little.

Thank you for your post Mediv , altough this topic will be modified and moved, but until i can think about that i`ll leave it here. In case i`ll move it...i`ll announce it.
Ok...answering:

Terraforming Limit: k4 was a test server...so that`s why no terraforming limit. The terraforming limit in our servers is 100

No 90 degrees turns for trains.......Yes, that is also a usual setting for our servers

Limits: I understand your opinions but i also want to see the server after a few tests.I keep in mind what u said, but until i get some technical data...no change will be done. I`ll answer again to this post in a few days, after i collect my test data.

A little slow down on slopes: The acceleration has been modified....Our usual setting is realistic acceleration, so trains will be slowing down very little from now on.

Thank you for you suggestions! You have no idea how much they mean:)

100 in total, or 100 with a cooldown ?

Since I never noticed that limitation on any server.

I believe the normal setting is 50/100 server k4 and k5 are stress testing the new K server to see how many instances of openttd we can run, what type of limits we should impose and such.

oke i played now for 2 hours and its fun but waaaay to easy to start so i made list what to change (in my opinion)

- plane speed to 1/3 (now its 1/2)
- set noise limit (now you can build international airports everywhere)
- allow the small airports (the one with grass)
- Terraform limit!!!

- I understand its a choice to have multiple industries per city, but i like 1 per city more. and then the ability to fund industries
- Funding towns/cities
- road layout to improved instead of original
- double the distance for oil refinery (edge of the map)

100 is the burst...

Burst was modified recently to 100
From the terraforming limit topic :

Yorvex: don't see voices here against it, but also not many for it, so i ran a quick query on IRC. the result basically said "yes, do it":
Code: [Select]

[01:12:31] <ST2> on the burst... I'll go...
[01:13:02] <ST2> ofc... the renew keeps the same
[01:13:09] <Batt> !vote
[01:13:42] <Kadar> I think it sounds good
[01:13:03] <alex879ro> I don`t consider it necesary...but have it his way
[01:17:17] <bunny> btw !vote


new terraform burst limit of 100 will be applied to all servers, might take some time until it becomes effective for all of the servers.

Yesterday i played a full run of the FIRS extreme server. I must say i started 20-25 years later maglev was allready there. It was really easy to start with 500k loan i build some short maglev lines and in a short time i was able to maglev cross the whole map.

I think there is no terraform limit at the moment? I could do how much i wanted never got limited. I really like the FIRS played it allready a few times on the BT-pro servers.

But 30 billion is a bit too much even though it's not that hard to reach. I played about 8 hours actively after that i only send trains to depot for replacement. the last 8 hours I didn't really do much most of time I was sleeping  ;)

Will #K4 map be increased? Its current size 1024x1024 looks too small to me.
