04:26:39 <Stablean> <doonz> you are up at the most abnormal hours :) 04:27:10 <Stablean> <Anson> yesterday, i had tried to work out a design for an easy station which has storage for trains, but to the ML only an invisible depot 04:27:24 <Stablean> <Anson> 6.30 04:27:26 <Stablean> <doonz> am? 04:27:45 <Stablean> <doonz> heh yeah i saw all that in console 04:27:48 <Stablean> <doonz> had no idea what you guys were talking about 04:27:57 <Stablean> <Anson> neither am nor pn ... we use 24 hour format hre ... thus it translate to am for you :-) 04:29:39 <Stablean> <doonz> you use 24 hour format? ;o 04:29:41 <Stablean> <doonz> why 04:30:24 <Stablean> <Anson> did you ever put down a station on a new game, with a simple connection only, a bit later expanded that to two platforms (terminus style) with pbs or enty/exit ? 04:30:46 <Stablean> <Anson> where i live, everybody uses 0.00 to 23.59 04:30:49 <Stablean> <doonz> wow 04:30:56 <Stablean> <doonz> thats crazy :p 04:31:02 <Stablean> <Anson> and we also use dd.mm.yyyy :-) 04:31:13 <Stablean> <doonz> we use dd/mm/yy 04:31:21 <Stablean> <doonz> using mm/dd/yy would be weird. 04:31:59 <Stablean> <doonz> no ive never done that before 04:33:00 <Stablean> <Anson> i can understand if someone would write yy.mm.dd ... just like hh:mm:ss ... all descending in rank 04:33:14 <Stablean> <doonz> hehe i would still find that weird! 04:33:20 <Stablean> <Anson> but not the alternating sequence like the usa do 04:33:36 <Stablean> <doonz> usa do everything weird 04:33:41 <Stablean> <doonz> like their units 04:33:43 <Stablean> <doonz> ickkkk 04:33:49 <Stablean> <Anson> for data files, i often use yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss ... easier to sort 04:34:11 <Stablean> <doonz> i wish they just used metric units 04:34:56 <Stablean> <Anson> over here, it is only metric ... and a few years ago, it was difficult to adjust to the last few units they changed ... 04:35:20 <Stablean> <Anson> PS (= hp in english) was replaced by W 04:35:29 <Stablean> <doonz> we use W here 04:37:23 <Stablean> <Anson> back to the stations : hehe, what kind of station do you use at first ? :-) 04:37:33 <Stablean> <doonz> usually terminus 04:37:51 <Stablean> <doonz> but i want to get into the habit of just doing RoRO as i always usually upgrade them later anyway 04:39:03 <Stablean> <Anson> you use just what i said, eg at !here : two platforms, terminus style, with entry/exit or pbs 04:39:26 <Stablean> <doonz> yea 04:39:32 <Stablean> <doonz> because i wanted to save money 04:39:34 <Stablean> <Anson> on those stations, i had the problem of trains queueing back into the mainline 04:40:06 <Stablean> <doonz> oh i see 04:40:21 <Stablean> <Anson> offline, you can always watch the stations, and add more trains when needed, but online/AFK, mines might increase production 04:41:03 <Stablean> <Anson> then you need to add trains in advance, but that might give the above problem, or you have too few trains, resulting in dropping ratings and thus no more growth 04:41:45 <Stablean> <doonz> i see 04:41:53 <Stablean> <Anson> of course, you can use "dirty tricks" like a truck which guarantees that there is always someone picking up cargo :-) but that is ugly 04:42:28 <Stablean> <Anson> thus i wanted to add some storage ... a depot which also is used elsewhere as overflow 04:43:12 <Stablean> <Anson> but the disadvantage is that a proper overflow is big and in the early game it is a lot of slow work do build, needs lots of space, especially when terraforming is costly, etc 04:44:15 <Stablean> <Anson> thus i did a simplified version of overflow ... had seen a big overflow on the wiki or in blogs, and then constructed the small one i also use in this game 04:44:46 <Stablean> <Anson> for an example, look !here 04:45:11 <Stablean> <doonz> im here 04:45:37 <Stablean> <Anson> i stopped the two trains ... now wait for the third 04:46:00 <Stablean> <doonz> wow thats cool 04:47:27 <Stablean> <Anson> that's the principle of all overflows ... set signals so that trains are led to an empty rail, possibly doing a short roundtrip to some depot, and let them wait there 04:48:24 <Stablean> <Anson> the version !here, is very simple, but it does the most important trick in a big network : the reverser part of the station hides the depot from the ML when the pathfinder looks for "nearest depot" 04:49:00 <Stablean> <Anson> if the depot may be visible, it is even easier, but not much, and not much smallereither 04:49:11 <Stablean> <doonz> so if they were sent to the deport.. they wouldnt go to that deport? 04:49:47 <Stablean> <Anson> try this layout and try sending trains to a depot ... they won't find any 04:50:05 <Stablean> <Anson> the only place from where they can find this depot is from the reverser and the station itself 04:50:57 <Stablean> <Anson> just look at the connection between the entering track and the depot : there is no path between them, only a 90 degree turn 04:52:13 <Stablean> <Anson> at the first crossing after the entry signal, the pathfinder has to decide where to send the train ... a direct rail to the first or decond platform, or a rail to "someplace else" 04:52:49 <Stablean> <Anson> if that "someplace else" would be only a dead end, the pathfinder wouldn't use it, and thus the little "arrow" is added to the end 04:53:19 <Stablean> <Anson> that makes the pathfinder believe that there might be more choices later on that route and sends trains to the dead end 04:54:19 <Stablean> <Anson> (the last three lines apply only, if the signals at the platform a red, of course :-) 04:55:33 <Stablean> <doonz> looks like it works pretty well :) 04:55:44 <Stablean> <Anson> the train entered the station area because it saw at least one green exit signal : the signal in front of the depot ... but that is completely separate from the pathfinder which does not see the depot :-) 04:57:32 <Stablean> <Anson> and when the train has entered the depot, the depot will have a red entry signal since the combo in front of it is red, and that is because from that side, only twoexit signals (at the the platforms) are visible 04:58:02 <Stablean> <Anson> that red entry signal is the invisible signal which every depot has 04:58:44 <Stablean> <Anson> and when a platform is free again, the combo signal and the invisible entry signal are green and the train leaves the depot 04:59:14 <Stablean> <Anson> this solution is simple, and it requires only as much space as an additional platform 05:00:02 <Stablean> <doonz> did you do all overflow like that then? 05:00:05 <Stablean> <Anson> small disadvantages : while a new train is reversing, it blocks the entire entry/exit area of the station 05:00:26 <Stablean> <Anson> and you also can't do it with PBS 05:01:00 <Stablean> <Anson> for that simple station, PBS would be slightly faster than entry/exit since one train can enter the right station while another leaves the left one 05:02:06 <Stablean> <Anson> butmost of the time and in early game such pickup stations have no heavy traffic 05:02:23 <Sylf> <Anson> Sylf also greeted me, as i see only now ... <--- I was only gonna ask if people wanted a new map yet 05:02:36 <Sylf> sounds like you folks are still keeping yourselves busy 05:03:00 <Stablean> <Anson> usage of those depots : when you see resources piling up, just add 2 or 3 more trains in that depot, and they are used when needed 05:03:44 <Stablean> <Anson> i was solo for a long time ... and just explaing my invention of storage depots :-) 05:04:08 <Stablean> <Anson> where is the server located ? what time do YOU have, Sylf ? 05:04:21 <Sylf> server itself is in Germany 05:04:22 <Stablean> <doonz> yay 05:04:24 <Stablean> <doonz> look @ !works 05:04:25 <Sylf> I'm in US 05:04:42 <Stablean> <Anson> over here, it is 7 now (am for the english non-metrics :-) 05:05:12 <Stablean> <doonz> only one problem.. the trains seem to prefer the right side when both signals are green :( 05:05:24 <Stablean> <Anson> since you are here, i have a question about the pathfinder .... 05:05:50 <Stablean> <Anson> doonz: as always ... they take the nearest platform 05:06:20 <Stablean> <Anson> i tried exactly the same layout for a station that i am now explaing OFFLINE 05:06:21 <Sylf> nearest open platform, sort of... 05:06:48 <Stablean> <Anson> but in an offline game, the train just looks for a platform and won't go into the reverser 05:07:14 <Stablean> <Anson> thus it deadlocks the station immediately when the third train arrives 05:07:44 <Stablean> <Anson> i also saved an online game, and that runs perfectly offline too 05:08:03 <Stablean> <Anson> is there some setting in all these games here that offline games don't have ? 05:08:30 <Stablean> <Anson> that also would be the answer to my question, why all my overflow stations at home didn't work :-( 05:09:46 <Stablean> <Anson> just found that out last evening and thus didn't look up the pathfuinder and all its parameters yet .... probably in some forum or maybe ina wiki too ? 05:11:54 <Stablean> <Anson> back to the stations : yesterday, i wanted to extend that station layout to three platforms since traffic was heavier, and it failed miserably : trains wouldn'Ät enter the depot, but instead go to the third platform and lock the station up :-( 05:12:20 <Stablean> <Anson> hehe, are you still reading (and understanding), doonz ? :-) 05:12:28 <Stablean> <doonz> haha not really :P 05:13:01 <Stablean> <doonz> im reading and kinda understanding :p 05:13:20 <Stablean> <Anson> look !here now again ... i added a third platform 05:13:39 <Stablean> <Anson> as long as there are only 3 trains, it works 05:15:47 <Stablean> <doonz> hmm 05:16:34 <Stablean> <Anson> station too spread out ... but you see the problem even without the third platform now 05:16:52 <Stablean> <Anson> there is a fork in front of the second platform now !!!! 05:17:10 <Stablean> <Anson> thus the pathfinder chooses that direction to send trains left 05:17:17 <Stablean> <doonz> hmm 05:17:35 <Stablean> <doonz> what if you had an exacty copy of that but had an entry + two exits to both? 05:17:52 <Stablean> <doonz> like this 05:18:06 <Stablean> <Anson> the pathfinder also looks ahead a bit ... a few signals in advance 05:18:19 <Stablean> <Anson> and it also would find any forks towards the platforms 05:18:54 <Stablean> <doonz> like that? 05:19:58 <Stablean> <Anson> that should work ... BUT you probably will end up with 100 trains in one depot and zero in the other 05:20:16 <Stablean> <doonz> what if you had a timer thingy on entry 05:20:22 <Stablean> <doonz> so that one train would go left and the other right 05:20:29 <Stablean> <doonz> i suppose that would defeat the purpose of trying to save room though lol 05:20:59 <Stablean> <Anson> timer requires a logic/timer train ... not recommended when do it at every resource station and early in the game 05:22:11 <Stablean> <Anson> that was the situation i was discussing with TWerk yesterday 05:22:13 <Stablean> *** doonz has left the game (connection lost) 05:22:37 <Stablean> *** doonz joined the game 05:22:40 <Stablean> <Anson> and i think that i found the "not strictly, but somewhat mathematical" proof that it can not work :-) 05:23:56 <Stablean> <Anson> proof : when a train enters a tile, it can have at most 3 exits from that tile ... all other directions would be at least 90 degree and thus not possible for the pathfinder 05:25:00 <Stablean> <Anson> to enter two platforms, you need two direct connections without forks, and the third direction is used for the reverser with one fork at its end ... thus all three exits from the tile are used up 05:25:39 <Stablean> <Anson> by connecting a new platform, you would ad a fork somewhere, and it wouldn't work anymore 05:26:29 <Stablean> <Anson> nice try, you just did there ... but : how will trains get from those depots to the platforms ??? 05:26:49 <Stablean> <doonz> wooops :P 05:27:15 <Stablean> <Anson> now they can go from one depot only to one platform, and from the other only to one other 05:27:25 <Stablean> <doonz> yeah 05:27:31 <Stablean> <doonz> wouldnt be as effective ;/ 05:27:49 <Stablean> <Anson> you could have added horizontal connections in front of the platforms 05:28:19 <Stablean> <Anson> then trains would be able to enter the platforms from any depot, and even more importantly, also leave any platform :-) 05:28:29 <Stablean> <doonz> :D 05:28:55 <Stablean> <Anson> big BUT : that would also connect the depots directly to the entering track, and thus make them visible to the ML !!!!! 05:29:41 <Stablean> <Anson> for my simple reverser+depot to work, they need to be on the side of the entering track 05:29:51 <Stablean> <doonz> oh ic 05:30:07 <Stablean> <Anson> so that a 90 degree turn connects entry track and depot for the signals, but not for the pathfinder 05:30:57 <Stablean> <Anson> with TWerk, we had some cionstructions like yours, and always found flaws in them 05:31:21 <Stablean> <Anson> thus i sat down last afternoon and messed around with the last map offline, testing more variants 05:31:32 <Stablean> <Anson> until i finally had some solution :-) 05:31:50 <Stablean> <Anson> to see it go to the sign "@RWerk ..." 05:32:08 <Stablean> <Anson> ofcourse @TWerk 05:32:48 <Stablean> <doonz> wow 05:33:42 <Stablean> <Anson> make the station transparent to see the rails :-) ... and ignore the Steel Reversing Control Center ... that is only eye candy :-) 05:35:10 <Stablean> <doonz> neat 05:35:44 <Stablean> <Anson> the principle is the same ... get trains to enter by having a green exit signal at each platform and the depot, and prohibit them from exiting the depot by not seeing the depot's green signal 05:36:42 <Stablean> <Anson> by making it a roro, i avoided the problems of colliding entry and exit rails which male it impossible to connect everything and still have it invisible from the ML 05:37:38 <Stablean> <Anson> took me some time, a few hours, but i developed it compltely myself from the old design ... although probably many other people have done similar :-) 05:38:44 <Stablean> <Anson> footprint is still almost the same ... equivalent to x+1 platforms 05:39:42 <Stablean> <Anson> or if you cound the incoming track (which now may come from everywherem, even straight like a true roro) then it requires space like x+2 platforms 05:41:44 <Stablean> <Anson> of course, this is much slower than a true roro station since it lacks the intelligent and fast (no sharp curves) entry, but it is easy and small at first, and can be expanded as easily and fast even during midgame 05:42:22 <Stablean> <doonz> still looks like it can process alot of trains 05:43:16 <Stablean> <Anson> adding more logic to it would be possible, eg to avoid trains leaving the depot when a new train approaches at full speed ... but that would make it much bigger, and then you can use the uasual overflow concepts 05:44:02 <Stablean> <doonz> indeed 05:44:22 <Stablean> <Anson> hehe, did you just see the train which came back from the reverser and entered a platform that JUST was freed ? 05:44:50 <Stablean> <doonz> hehe yes, i was thinking it was going to go to the deport.. then the station, but instead it goes straight to the free station, which is really neat 05:45:00 <Stablean> <Anson> will ghappen again now 05:46:14 <Stablean> <Anson> the biggest time loss is from the signal spacing between entry/depot and end of reverser ... when platform 1 becomes free just after the train passed it 05:47:36 <Stablean> <doonz> with priority.. can you have multiple entry points along a line so that the trains never have an opportunity to slow down? 05:48:22 <Stablean> <Anson> a train going to the leftmost platform will block the entry block for some time ... like 7 tiles of signal gap 05:49:18 <Stablean> <doonz> like if you had a side line going onto a main line.. could you have multiple entry points so that the trains entering the mainlain never slow down? 05:49:30 *** ODM has joined #openttdcoop.stable 05:49:30 *** ChanServ sets mode: +o ODM 05:49:41 <Stablean> <Anson> depends ... when you have two parallel tracks and two trains parallel on each one, then one HAS to slow down, take a turn or whatever to line up behind the other 05:50:43 <Stablean> <Anson> but you can invest a lot in some joiner which has several tracks, leading new trains to other tracks so that they reach the ML just when the train there has passed completely 05:50:58 <Sylf> "why all my overflow stations at home didn't work 05:51:04 <Stablean> <Anson> that would allow trains on the SL to be only slowed down instead of stopped 05:51:10 <Sylf> there's one setting you should watch out for 05:51:29 <Sylf> yapf.rail_firstred_twoway_eol 05:51:37 <Sylf> make sure that's set to true 05:51:50 <Stablean> <Anson> Sylf: that is what i thought :-) ... but there was no hint on it where i saw discussion of overflows etc :-( 05:52:28 <Stablean> <Anson> where can i find all those params ? in a forum thread on YAPF ? or where can i find a readme ? 05:52:43 <Sylf> that's a part of having to read the entire coop website, including all wiki pages 05:53:19 <Sylf> one of those wiki pages has somewhat outdated but still good copy of coop server's basic config 05:53:21 <Stablean> <Anson> i already read many ... but there is no button "next page" and thus i probably missed a lot of pages in the tree 05:53:55 <Stablean> <doonz> afk for a few 05:54:25 <Stablean> <Anson> in the meantime with some new/different search phrases, i also found a blog about curve speed :-) 05:54:56 <Sylf> curve speed is best documented in openttd.org wiki 05:57:04 <Stablean> <Anson> http://blog.openttdcoop.org/2009/05/13/about-curve-lengths/ 05:57:22 <Stablean> <Anson> but that info is wrong/misleading too :-( 05:59:01 <Sylf> actually, that page looks pretty accurate to me 05:59:40 <Stablean> <Anson> from that article : 05:59:43 <Stablean> <Anson> Interesting fact is that the source code considers what we call a half diagonal tile as an entire tile 06:00:00 <Sylf> yes, that is true 06:00:03 <Stablean> <Anson> We would call the leftmost picture a CL5 (or 4.5) curve and the upper a CL9 curve, while they’re both considered 9 tile curves by the formula, meaning they allow for the same maximim speed 06:00:18 <Sylf> that's not completely accurate 06:00:35 <Sylf> we know that 1 straight piece is considered 2 half tiles 06:00:57 <Sylf> just read this: http://wiki.openttd.org/Game_Mechanics#Trains 06:01:04 <Stablean> <Anson> very misleading to say that diagonal halftiles and tiles are the same for CL :-( 06:01:25 <Sylf> just take that openttd.org wiki, and stick to it 06:01:36 <Stablean> <Anson> hehe, exatly that article is what i wanted to show you next for misleading/inaccurate :-) 06:01:41 <Sylf> with the nice table and all, there's no need to go back to that blog entry 06:02:08 <Stablean> <Anson> the page that you just showed has this text : 06:02:11 <Stablean> <Anson> "Curvature" means the average number of wagons of the train between turns 06:02:25 <Sylf> right 06:02:44 <Stablean> <Anson> ouch ... that applies only with standard wagons and locos which are exactly one halftile in size ... and what about "average" ? 06:02:56 <Sylf> "average number of wagons" pretty much means 8/8 size train 06:03:24 <Stablean> <Anson> what happens to CL when i use 0.25 tile length cars ? 06:03:33 <Sylf> It's the standard default trainset locos and wagons 06:03:48 <Stablean> <Anson> then i need to build a CL 4 curve for a TL1 train ? .-) 06:04:36 <Sylf> just take curvature as number of half tiles, and you won't go wrong 06:04:38 <Stablean> <Anson> when did you last use standard wagons only in your games ? and what about the standard steam locos which are 2+ halftiles in size ? 06:05:17 <Sylf> standard? All the time. Lots of train sets contain regular 8/8 size wagons 06:05:27 <Stablean> <Anson> the problem we had yesterday : a TL3 train would not slow down in a CL5 curve ! 06:05:43 <Sylf> most of the latest wagons in UKRS2 are the "average" size ones 06:05:48 <Stablean> <Anson> i meant "ONLY standard wagons" 06:06:16 <Sylf> OpenGFX+ trains 06:06:31 <Sylf> Or actually using default train set too 06:06:37 <Stablean> <Anson> did you know that TL3 trains don't slow down in CL5 curves ? 06:06:42 <Sylf> we actually do it regularly 06:06:46 <Sylf> yes 06:06:48 <Stablean> <Anson> TL3 = 6 halftiles :-) 06:07:10 <Sylf> but as long as the train only has 1 bend at any given time, that's good enough 06:07:20 <Stablean> <Anson> and when counting the halftiles, it doesn't work out 06:07:58 <Sylf> but when you start using really small wagons (like the earliest wagons from NARS), you might get penalty unexpectedly 06:08:12 <Stablean> <Anson> that was just the problem ... when looking at the numbers, a TL3 train is 6 halftiles long and one would assume that it touches two 45 degree curves on a CL5 curve 06:08:31 <Sylf> even stuff like Tropic Refurbishment Set's Ore Hopper + WAM12 combination can slow down unexpectedly 06:08:52 <Sylf> don't think too hard 06:09:01 <Sylf> just watch lots of game, and learn from experience 06:09:18 <Stablean> <Anson> for us, the unexpected was just the opposite : that a train of 6 halftiles length did NOT slow down inm a CL5 curve 06:09:31 <Sylf> just play more 06:09:45 <Sylf> it's not that hard 06:09:52 <Stablean> <Anson> for TL3 at full speed, i previously had built CL7 curves ... which is unneccessarily long 06:10:16 <Sylf> gotta go to bed 06:10:40 <Stablean> <Anson> or made trains shorter, only used TL 3.5 trains to be able to use CL7 curves ... which is not necessary either 06:10:48 *** DayDreamer has joined #openttdcoop.stable 06:11:10 <Stablean> <Anson> last line : our results from experiments etc : 06:11:48 <Stablean> <Anson> the CL is rounded up to the next integer for determining WHETHER a train is slowed down, and it is taken as halftiles to determine BY HOW MUCH 06:12:54 <Stablean> <Anson> I'll be off soon too ... and when i am done making a screensho of my new station, i am no longer opposed to restarting the map :-) 06:25:40 <Stablean> *** Anson has left the game (connection lost) 06:26:23 <Stablean> *** Anson joined the game

:) 20:19:34 <Stablean> <Anson> i think this map will be reset "soon" ... maybe a few hours, maybe less 20:19:46 <Stablean> <Fablok> :) 20:20:00 <Stablean> <Fablok> any special rules at this server? 20:20:38 <Stablean> <Anson> when you play here, watch for ships and aircraft ... people like big train networks, and no ships or aircraft and no large terraforming, thus prices are modified 20:20:58 <Stablean> <Anson> most important rule : be nice and don't steal 20:21:14 <Stablean> <Fablok> so common rules :) 20:21:24 <Stablean> <Fablok> at what year server starts? 20:21:36 <Stablean> <Anson> every time a different map 20:21:43 <Stablean> <Anson> every time different newGRF files 20:21:46 <Stablean> <Fablok> oh why dont U use roro stations for picking up iron ore 20:22:13 <Stablean> <Anson> and quite often a corresponding date ... sometimes 1950, sometimes 1920, whatever 20:22:41 <Stablean> <Anson> hehe, i started shortly after the map started 20:23:03 <Stablean> <Anson> and my problem now are not the ore pickups, but the ore drop and steel pickup 20:23:29 <Stablean> <Anson> they were working nicely 50 years ago, and i don't want to move them out of town 20:23:53 <Stablean> <Fablok> U mean Frunningsrone Woods? 20:24:00 <Stablean> <Fablok> sry my english :/ 20:24:34 <Stablean> <Anson> no prob ... where are you from ? 20:24:56 <Stablean> <Fablok> well first i would recommend to move exit signals closer to platforms for iron ore drop station 20:24:58 <Stablean> <Fablok> Poland 20:25:26 <Stablean> <Anson> there are people here who don't speak english either, but australian, american, etc :-) LOL 20:25:36 <Stablean> <Fablok> :) 20:25:52 <Stablean> <Anson> i am about to move the iron drop a little to make a better entry 20:26:10 <Stablean> <Anson> but currently, the authority doesn't allow building new station tiles :-( 20:27:14 <Stablean> <Anson> look at the bridge !here 20:27:28 <Stablean> <Fablok> yes im looking there 20:27:50 <Stablean> <Anson> twi such bridges were the old entrance ... just finished moving the entry tracks to the mountain behind town :-) 20:28:04 <Stablean> <Fablok> :) 20:28:26 <Stablean> <Fablok> well not enough trains to pickup all stell? 20:28:28 <Stablean> <Anson> thus i got a free rail, separating the steel from the tunnel and leaving ore 20:29:03 <Stablean> <Anson> until you came, the ore and steel trains were queuing back a dozen miles :-) 20:29:13 <Stablean> <Fablok> :) 20:29:39 <Stablean> <Anson> only now, can the ore be dropped again, and thus steel trains can pick it up ... need to wait until it settles down a bot ... i have 60 steel trains now :-) 20:30:35 <Stablean> <Anson> in his game, my primary goal was to test the new layout of my steel pickup station ... not as mass pickup, but as simple "early game" pickup station 20:30:51 <Stablean> <Anson> and to see where the limits are ... i think found them now :-) 20:31:29 <Stablean> <Anson> but with that type of station (and that's what i wanted to test) i need little space and still can just drop 20 more trains in the depot 20:31:44 <Stablean> <Fablok> single enter single exitstation i think can take about 30-35 trains at lenght 12 tiles 20:32:18 <Stablean> <Fablok> thats from my experience 20:32:54 <Stablean> <Fablok> so i think U can add there few stell trains 20:33:09 <Stablean> <Anson> maybe ... but it also depends on the trainsets ... some wagons are almost instant drop, some take a long time, and acceleration of locos is important too ... i could double engines maybe ... 20:33:11 <Stablean> <Fablok> and it shouldnt stuck 20:33:59 <Stablean> <Fablok> sometimes i even triple engines but here doubling is enough since station max lenght is 9 20:34:18 <Stablean> <Anson> need to clean up at "clean up" sign next 20:34:43 <Stablean> *** Chris Booth joined the game 20:34:44 <Stablean> <Anson> from drop and pickup to that place, trains were almost standing still half an hour ago :-) 20:35:02 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> hi 20:35:05 <Stablean> <Fablok> hi 20:35:15 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> have I got jams? 20:35:15 <Stablean> <Fablok> if U can try to seperate them 20:35:51 <Stablean> <Anson> i think it will be interesting when you join, Fab ... 20:35:59 <Stablean> <Anson> i have to go AFK now ... 20:36:02 <Stablean> <Fablok> if i will :) 20:36:10 <Stablean> *** Chris Booth has joined company #2 20:36:22 <Stablean> <Fablok> ok ill watch rest of your company 20:36:28 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> join the madness 20:36:46 <Stablean> <Anson> Fab, you might want to start a company and look at the typical prices for construction and ships/planes :-) they are almost the same in every game her ... all other grfs differ 20:37:01 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> Anson: why build eitherside of a busy line of mine that need doubling? 20:37:04 <Stablean> <Fablok> ye i will :) 20:37:45 <Stablean> <Anson> Sylf asked whether we should restart the map ... 12++ hours ago, and i was the only one playing 20:37:57 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> Anson: check !WTF 20:38:03 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> I asked for a restart 20:38:15 <Stablean> <Anson> didn't think it would run as long as it does now, and thus simply put down a funny track to have a more distant drop :-) 20:39:05 <Stablean> <Anson> when i built that track, i thought the map would be restarted maybe 30 mins later 20:39:16 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> well it isn't :'( 20:39:22 <Stablean> <Anson> sorry when it now blocks you from expansion 20:39:36 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> I don't want to expand realy 20:39:38 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> just pointing it out 20:39:44 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> I would rather a new map 20:39:58 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> if I wasn't such a nob I could have reset myself 20:40:09 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> but instead of which I am a nob 20:40:39 <Stablean> <Fablok> only nob around is me :P 20:40:46 <Stablean> <Anson> i have to go AFK now ... saved the map to have a look later for improvements to my station (offline) ... restart whenever there is someone offering a new map :-) 20:40:52 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> Fablok I am sure you are not 20:41:14 <Stablean> <Anson> oh no, Fab is no n00b, but only new to this server :-) 20:41:22 <Stablean> <Fablok> im first time at this server :) 20:41:25 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> I have big big jams on my ML 20:41:31 <Stablean> <Fablok> so im nob that way or another :D 20:41:47 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> nob doesn't mean noob 20:42:05 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> nob a way of calling my self stupid 20:42:05 <Stablean> <Fablok> i know but also can be a reason to be1 :D 20:42:27 <Stablean> <Anson> hehe, Fab : look at my iron ore trains now ... all the mess is cleaning up slowly now :-) 20:42:47 <Stablean> <Chris Booth> Anson: want to help me LLL_RRR my wood lines 20:42:57 <Stablean> <Anson> there were enough trains ... more than enough, but they were waiting in queues for dropping, instead of waiting to pickup 20:43:11 <Stablean> <Fablok> yep looks smothly now :) 20:44:09 <Stablean> <Anson> will be back later ...

22:24:38 <Stablean> <Fablok> better ask it never harms :D 22:25:28 <Stablean> <Anson> the depots have an invisible signal at their entrance/exit ... i didn't know that that would be also set as entry signal when there was a mixture of exit and normal signals in my station 22:26:03 <Stablean> <Fablok> yep depots have signals builtin ;) 22:26:14 <Stablean> <Anson> hehe, those double-bus stations are to be discussed :-) 22:26:28 <Stablean> <Fablok> whats wrong with them? 22:26:46 <Stablean> <Anson> some people use them to increase production of resiurces, and that probably is legal here, but not liked :-) 22:26:52 <Stablean> <Fablok> pick at city1 drop city2 fastest way as its possible :) 22:27:10 <Stablean> <Fablok> thats not my point at least not here 22:27:28 <Stablean> <Anson> but i think that using stations to "teleport" cargo across rivers etc shouldn't be legal ... but i haven't heard a final word on it yet 22:27:28 <Stablean> <Fablok> ye i know the method to increase production drop and pick up at same station 22:27:38 <Stablean> <Fablok> but check it those R 2 different stations 22:27:48 <Stablean> <Fablok> just thing is they R near each other 22:28:15 <Stablean> <Fablok> left station is TRarham right is Findwood 22:28:49 <Stablean> <Anson> better ask people who do more city building ... i specialize in cargo :-) 22:28:51 <Stablean> <Fablok> mostly i would like to know how far i can get with CTRL-Station types 22:29:01 <Stablean> <Anson> for towns, thre are some rules 22:29:11 <Stablean> <Fablok> ye i read it 22:29:21 <Stablean> <Anson> towns should only be grown if you use them (transport 50%+) 22:29:32 <Stablean> <Anson> and stations in towns shouldn't "walk" 22:29:46 <Stablean> <Fablok> ye i dont get walking part 22:30:20 <Stablean> <Fablok> as i can see 341 of 535 and 192 of 251 passanfers a month 22:30:23 *** ODM has quit IRC 22:30:36 <Stablean> <Fablok> and my stations covers almost whole cities 22:30:36 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure joined the game 22:30:40 <Stablean> <Fablok> findwood whole 22:30:50 <Stablean> <Fablok> rarham 80% 22:30:51 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure has left the game (connection lost) 22:30:52 <Stablean> <Anson> i think it means dropping a station in front of a town and then using the spread only to get lots of pax, instead of really setting up a network to transport and transfer them 22:31:10 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure joined the game 22:31:25 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure has left the game (connection lost) 22:31:37 <Stablean> <Fablok> ok so i will ask ppl about my town setup 22:31:47 <Stablean> <Fablok> now pls look at "or such a lines?" 22:31:52 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure joined the game 22:31:56 <Stablean> <Anson> but as i said : get the final word from some other player/admin ... i don't know the exact details since i just skip pax transports until now :-) 22:32:07 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure has left the game (connection lost) 22:32:23 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure joined the game 22:32:24 <Stablean> <Fablok> i dont do it as well (mostly) but easiest way to explain 22:32:35 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure has paused the server. 22:32:37 <Stablean> *** Game paused (number of players) 22:32:39 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure has left the game (connection lost) 22:32:54 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure joined the game 22:33:05 <Stablean> *** Troy McClure has enabled autopause mode. 22:33:07 <Stablean> *** Game unpaused (number of players) 22:34:09 <Stablean> <Troy McClure> hmm, teleporting cargo?

22:35:35 <Stablean> <Anson> station spread usually should be used to get lots of cargo .. eg putting a station in the middle and droping single bits at several resources around it ... or setting up a large drop or pickup and have space for entries and exits, a bit distant from the factory 22:35:43 <Stablean> <Troy McClure> at Rarham, Findwood 22:36:05 <Stablean> <Troy McClure> its illegal 22:36:11 <Stablean> <Fablok> ye thats why is that sign 22:36:17 <Stablean> <Anson> in this case, i would say that the bus station teleports cargo, and not only extends its area .. thus at least "not liked here" 22:36:24 <Stablean> <Fablok> to make things clear before i start to play here :) 22:37:02 <Stablean> <Anson> better ask V or sylf ... i am only a player and this is only my opinion :-) 22:37:13 <Stablean> <Troy McClure> in short: all your bus/lorry trucks are against the rules 22:37:32 <Stablean> <Fablok> as i read them they shouldnt be 22:37:48 <Stablean> <Troy McClure> station spread is used to make lare stations like Grindston Valley 22:37:58 <Stablean> <Troy McClure> not teleportin 22:38:10 <Stablean> *** V453000 joined the game 22:38:12 <Stablean> <Fablok> so other words all tiles of station should be near it?
