OpenTTD saved games: 20090815

Saved games for 20090815 (r16982 of OpenTTD).

The August 2009-15 game is a 512x256 temperate map, generated from the "huge valley" heightmap.

A word about the GRFs: I'm using the North American Rail Set (NARS) which I'm somewhat familiar with, and the Extended Cargo Scheme (ECS) industry replacement, which gives a completely new set of industries. I'm using all the ECS vectors at once, which is a mistake because I'm new to ECS and so I don't know which industries take/produce what cargo, and I don't even know what most of them look like.

A new wrinkle is the way ECS handles primary production (mines dry up eventually) and how it handles cargo consumption (industries will stockpile, and not necessarily consume all deliveries).

Started the moneymaker in 1950 with coal, and added iron ore. By 1953 it's already profitable enough to wipe out the loan. By 1955, I have a mainline down the southern half, with a hub to connect the northern half. I'm planning a large factory hub in the north-east corner (top of map).

By Game Year 1975, I'm bored and overwhelmed by the many new industries and cargo paths. I want to play a passenger game with a Japanese theme (yes, again) so I'm archiving this one. Next time I try the ECS, I'll load only 1 or 2 of them.

I've used these GRFs from #openttdcoop's GRF pack version 7.3:

• OpenGFX - New buildings
• Basic Platforms Set
• Industrial Stations Renewal v0.8.0
• NewStations V0.42 05.09.05
• OpenGFX - newIndustries v0.10
• ECS Town set
• All the ECS vectors
• Total Town Replacement Set v3.02a
• Total Bridge Renewal Set Version 1.12
• US Train Set version 0.87.4 (27 April 2007)
• US Set ECS adapter
• Generic Tram Set v0.4
