03:00:56  <Gustavo6046> What are cars and trucks most profitable for?
03:01:07  <Gustavo6046> Is long-distance worth it?

08:32:48  <andythenorth_> "Decide town growth" callback
08:39:17  <FLHerne> Gustavo6046: If you're in it just for the money, RVs are pretty much never worth it
08:39:51  <FLHerne> they're good for towns/industries that aren't big enough for an expensive railway line
08:40:17  <FLHerne> or for distribution within cities without demolishing everything
08:41:26  <FLHerne> Passenger-collecting feeder buses in cities, with transfer orders that send the passengers off on a fast train to the other side of the map, are probably the most profitable thing you can do with them
09:42:16  *** gelignite has joined #openttd
10:11:27  <Timberwolf> IMO the issue with road vehicles in vanilla is they're way too expensive - matching the throughput of a train is something like 3x-5x the cost.
10:15:24  <Timberwolf> It also doesn't help that the first generation is both bad and long-lived; you have 30 years or so where you have access to 80-90mph trains, but all the road vehicles are stuck at 30mph.
10:16:03  <Timberwolf> TTO may have been slightly better balanced, where the second generation road vehicles were 70mph (as opposed to TTD, where second gen is 55 and then there's a "future" generation in 2005 or so)
10:20:29  <Timberwolf> Of course, there is the "realism" argument that road vehicles (at least in Europe) did genuinely suck for long-distance cargo transport until the mid-1960s, and even then weren't great until the power levels went up from ~180hp up to 300 or so in the late 1970s.
10:25:07  <andythenorth_> Steam Lorry Dictatorship
10:26:19  <Timberwolf> Heh.
10:26:44  <Timberwolf> It surprised me when I was researching how much better than the equivalent petrol lorries they were, performance-wise.
10:28:15  <Timberwolf> Imagining back in the 1930s, you're struggling to get your Leyland lorry up past 20mph and someone in a Sentinel absolutely blasts past you at 35.
10:29:04  <Timberwolf> TTD doesn't really have the "this is complicated and annoying to maintain" aspect beyond basic running costs.
10:32:15  <andythenorth_> it does not
10:32:16  <andythenorth_> in spades
10:32:30  <andythenorth_> especially when I turn breakdowns off :P
10:32:36  <Timberwolf> Also speed limits.

17:54:42  *** Flygon has quit IRC
17:59:18  <Starbud> I was looking for another channel, an openttd channel for the reddit servers, i was looking at freenode but i must be mistaken, anyon having an idea what i'm looking for?
17:59:40  <Starbud> the game itself closed permanently today
18:00:04  <Starbud> and i didnt write the server or channel down :(
18:03:57  <FLHerne> Starbud: There's #/r/openttd
18:04:34  <FLHerne> "closed permanently" ?
18:05:05  <FLHerne> Oh, I see the post on the subreddit now
18:05:55  <FLHerne> That's a pity, it was the best casual-stock-gameplay multiplayer server for many years
18:07:29  <Starbud> yes it was
18:07:41  <Starbud> i have been on it for the last half year
18:09:48  <Starbud> someone called FlowSkate created copies
18:10:22  <Starbud> he/she even got the coding for something driving some website aswell
18:10:44  <Starbud> so he got good support form luaduck who created the reddit servers
