I got some kind of train bug recently and found this series searching for OpenTTD content on UA-cam. It's an old series, but from the moment you first laid 60k£ worth of track in the opening minutes and called it your main line, I knew it was what I was looking for. I noticed you have a more recent series and I may check it out later, but so far I'm really liking this one.
i used to play this game when i was about 9. I always used to think that monorail trains would appear all around the UK in about the year 2000? as they do in the game. Im still waiting.
As someone else pointed out, key shortcuts will save you a lot of time. I'll mention my favourite one: When placing a signal (or using an existing one), hold ctrl while you drag a couple of tiles in the direction you want and let go of the mouse button, you will automatically place signal all the way to the end of the track or the next junction. Saves a lot of dragging, especially on very long lines.
Tnx man. I got game in library for a centuries. It looks really interesting but i was not sure what's best strategy to start, and now i am ready hyped to start game, and try my best in tycoon management 😂
Having played this game for a few months now, this video has changed how I play it. I never played the original so it was new-ish to me when I first got it. I looked online for tutorials on station layouts and signal placement and what sort to use. I watched this video and you put everything so simply. Described what signals go where etc. I copied your stations, junctions and that sort of thing and got a fairly big company built up. Currently sat at 1989 with £27 million in the kitty. I may restart a new map and do it again as I can adjust some planning errors I have made. Well done on the videos and I will watch your others now. :)
You asked what your viewers would like to see. I would love to see a full fledged Auto-Train-Boat-Airline network. I mean full cross map shipping using multiple types of transport, if possible. Profitable, of course.
You can make it so the signals are on the left [for UK] in the setup menu...makes it more aesthetic. Try and slow down a bit to make less mistakes...lol Good gameplay.....enjoyed it.
Dude, the very first station you place, the catchment area doesn't even include the power station. You really gotta be more careful with your placement. Also, building diagonals to your main line is more efficient, especially on a very smooth map, and not crossing the main line will help prevent slow downs in the future.
Hi there. Thank you. The seed fature is still in the game, they just removed the ability to change this thought the new game screen. You can still change the see throught the Console: wiki.openttd.org/Console
I know this video is old but I learned how to play this game, recently, because of your tutorials. Did you know that in the settings you can change it so you can build and do other things while paused? I'm not sure if you didn't know this or that you consider it cheating. Either way I find it easier to do maintenance on train tracks without stopping all the trains up and losing profit. Anyway thanks for showing me how this game works.
Well well well, hoping this stays, cause i kinda started this game and managed to get profitable planes and cars, but thats about it, and what year do you think is best for all the things, thanks for help
Hello, great tutorials i learned a lot from them. I hve a question, what script do i use to change the production rate. I saw a little bar in de tutorial that could change the coal production. Thanks and greetings, Robbie (Netherland)
That usually depends on my mood. Some times I feel like a bit more of a challenge. For this series I didn't really use them. For my 2nd series It's all I use. Thanks for the comment
Can someone please explain to me what might be the problem if after i buy the trains and make the ruote etc, that they first of all fill like 6 up, and stop at the power station (wont repeat route)?
OK, fixed that :p Now, im only earning around 6k per run, which is just enough to end up at 0 income... Saw you eanred 18-20k per run, any idea what the difference might be?:)
chris church Town names do not change size when you zoom. You may be playing the game is a very high resolution that makes them very small on your screen.
***** Thought so, I remember someone saying that someone else might not have unlocked small airfield because they didn't exist yet but I couldn't think of any reason why you wouldn't start at the earliest point possible for an LP, I know I would have.
There was similar look game, but more beatifull and...easier to play. Can you tell it's name? (one of first train name was "Jointy") BTW - i download OTT but...it looks like very different than this one...mods?
Hi MH. I know you might already be aware of this but it kind of hurt my OCD to watch you put your tracks close together as you did so I made you a picture of what can be achieved to improve your capacity. It's not perfect with both the signalling and the sharpness of turns but should give you and others some ideas about what can be achieved by spacing your tracks out more. It would of course be a lot better an idea if we could make diagonal tunnels and bridges and make diagonal sloped track (which I think is a really needed feature in the game!). As you can see in the picture it gets better for flow the more you space out the tracks (look at the bottom track spacing). Anyway here's the picture I made for you: i.imgur.com/kzrGxXC.jpg I realise that the flaw in this approach is that you obviously use a lot more space doing this but I find being able to have my trains cross into another one way track going the same direction without stopping the flow in the opposite direction really improved my capacity and flow which in turn yields a higher profit. I hope this is of some help to you and your viewers. If anyone is into poker by the way, check out my channel for some micro stakes 7 card stud high low action! You can also drop me a message if the link to the image i.imgur.com/kzrGxXC.jpg is no longer working.
You just ruining great game.... 'Lets screw the game and the viewers" should be the actual caption for this video...I'd suggest you to learn some TTD basics first.
whenever i feel bad about the mistakes i've committed in my life and whenever the metaphorical rainclouds get a little too dark to handle i can at least remind myself that despite all my screwups and failures, i don't rage at 8 year old videos of someone playing an obscure pixelated autism simulator in a way that does not cater to my specific tastes thanks bro

My new stuff is better. And series 10 is coming in January

This video helped me out more than watching other peoples tutorials and this isnt even a tutorial. Great lets play.
You have made trains make so much more sense. Thank you!
British youtuber. Calls it 'zed'. Has that even toned enthusiasm. Instant sub.
P*Funk its “zee” not “zed”
@@Oreggon nah
@@Oreggon not in the UK. Try to remember other countries exist besides the US.

Check out my more recent videos. I have refined and improved things over the years. Thanks for the comment
Love watching 'Lets play' video's of this game, have seen a few and it always makes me wanna play the game again, which I am. Keep up the good work.
You asked what your viewers would like to see. I would love to see a full fledged Auto-Train-Boat-Airline network. I mean full cross map shipping using multiple types of transport, if possible. Profitable, of course.
the hardest thing in this game is that youhave to change every old vehicle and u have to make a path by yourself
+kkrito dono Go to the main settings and turn auto renew at end of life on, it will re-new them for you.
OOOooo thank i didn't know that
How did you manage to create an epic opening package for such a calm and relaxing game? Awesome content, thanks for helping me understand the game :)
Glad you enjoy it!
Everything is good (fyi for future series), makes it really good to learn from
You can make it so the signals are on the left [for UK] in the setup menu...makes it more aesthetic. Try and slow down a bit to make less mistakes...lol
Good gameplay.....enjoyed it.
I have played OTT wrong for soo long.
I feel your pain.
I had trains running on a single track back and forth, I'll have to start again.
bourbonated thats exactly what i did every time. I tried to do it right, but then the trains collided.
bourbonated What's OTT?!
open transport tycoon
I love this game I got it on my crime book
Now there is a typo!.... I hope
@@MasterHellish lol chrome book
also, 2 longer trains for that distance would be better, i get 90% station rate ... much better than cloging your stations with smaller trains
I very liked this gameplay, teachs a lot. Thanks.
This video teaches me a lot. Thank you.
Dude, the very first station you place, the catchment area doesn't even include the power station. You really gotta be more careful with your placement.

Old comment, so hopefully you’ve changed in the meantime, but you should really watch the entire video before making redundant comments.
awesome episode, keep doing. I love this game :)
Good video keep it up!
Hey Hellish, nice video.
I have one question though, how do you use the random seed option?
Hi there. Thank you. The seed fature is still in the game, they just removed the ability to change this thought the new game screen. You can still change the see throught the Console: wiki.openttd.org/Console
@@MasterHellish it tells you how to get the seed, not how to set it though. Am I missing something ? (PS : why did they remove it anyway ?).

Yes, this is a good option. For my personal preference, I prefer the extra challenge of not using this optional feature. Thanks for the comment
Wow I never realised ZBase was that easy to put on :P
2022.10.10. 22:28
?
first vid of yours iv'e watched and all i can say is that you need a better quality mic after that well pretty good
The first station wasn't in the coal catchment area
I laughed at deport placement, lucky they weren't 1 way signals
You should check out my new series, this video is soooo old now
1:22 Why didn't you choose to have towns and Industries high, you would be able to institute more transport lines and networks.
That was over 4 years ago, I can't remember what I did last week let alone then. Series 5 is the current let's paly series
Took me a bit to adjust to the british-style LHD signaling, but great video
SigmaOne thank you. You should check out my season 5
Great vid
Owesome game!
So difficult. I am doing it my way, and I must say, I feel like i'm screwed somehow.
Well well well, hoping this stays, cause i kinda started this game and managed to get profitable planes and cars, but thats about it, and what year do you think is best for all the things, thanks for help
Is this game on Steam? It looks quite fun indeed.
Nope its free and available from the Open TTD website. See my tutorial for the full info. ua-cam.com/video/2WoTXgTuRIw/v-deo.html
Ah, that's smashing! Thanks! And thank you for the timely reply to my comment! Keep up the good vids! :D
can you pls show me the link or
Ddraigtanto Ixeniejir you can also get it for free on desura if you use that alot (i realise this was 7 months ago butt still)
it's free I. there website don't go anywhere else for it
i am gonna watch all :P but driving on the left is gonna bother me sooo much!
Can you explain the zBase graphics thing in a little more detail? I've looked though the online content and I can't find that particular NewGRF.
I’ve made that mistake at 7:08 too many times ahaha.
Hello, great tutorials i learned a lot from them. I hve a question, what script do i use to change the production rate. I saw a little bar in de tutorial that could change the coal production.
Thanks and greetings,
Robbie (Netherland)
how do you get the rand seed in options as not showing on mine
Can you also use truck for coal?
Yes that is possible
Can you do a desert map plz?
if you export more wil they produce more ore work it otherwhise?
Something I don't understand is: Why ever use any other signal than the glorious path-signal/oneway-pathsignal?
That usually depends on my mood. Some times I feel like a bit more of a challenge. For this series I didn't really use them. For my 2nd series It's all I use. Thanks for the comment
How do you get your world so flat? I have my world set to very flat and smooth but it still ends up being very hilly!
Can someone please explain to me what might be the problem if after i buy the trains and make the ruote etc, that they first of all fill like 6 up, and stop at the power station (wont repeat route)?
OK, fixed that :p Now, im only earning around 6k per run, which is just enough to end up at 0 income... Saw you eanred 18-20k per run, any idea what the difference might be?:)
raicon91 Its mostlikely distance or ammount of coal/iron/passengers/whatever your carrying
i suggest looking at the Wiki
raicon91 Also the faster you get there the lower the expenses for haveing it running around and the more money you get
How are you able to zoom the overview map so much? I can't even read the town names on mine they're so small even when zoomed in all the way
chris church Town names do not change size when you zoom. You may be playing the game is a very high resolution that makes them very small on your screen.
Thought it might be the resolution. Thanks
Is 1970 the earliest possible start date or just your preferred start date?
MrHamof Nope you can go back before then. I start at different dates most of the time depending on if i want a shorter or longer game to 2051.
***** Thought so, I remember someone saying that someone else might not have unlocked small airfield because they didn't exist yet but I couldn't think of any reason why you wouldn't start at the earliest point possible for an LP, I know I would have.
+MrHamof If you really want to, you can start playing when you can't do anything, because nothing has been invented yet XD XD XD
+Master Hellish what happens after 2051?
Nothing, you can carry on as it is but all your trains will get very old and you will find it harder to keep it all running. Without mods that is.
Who's watching this in 2020 because the new series is too complicated?
Haha... Did I make the S6 challenge too hard?
@@MasterHellish Yes my lord
What mod do you use for big gui? I downloaded some BIG GUI 2.0 but it's still not big enough. Tnx for tutorials.
No mod, I play the game at a smaller screen realization, 720 on a 1080 monitor.
***** Oh, Ok :) Thank you.
wow
There was similar look game, but more beatifull and...easier to play. Can you tell it's name?
(one of first train name was "Jointy")
BTW - i download OTT but...it looks like very different than this one...mods?
Im not sure Master Hellish but i think that you make too many rails when you make your junctions because they are only one way rails
the more you transport per month the higher the rating at the that place will become
Do *everything!* (Grins and rubs hands maniacally).........(Looks around)...............(Grabs coat)............
Hahah, them voice cracks :P Im sorry I got a few of those myself sometimes xD

It's a .exe file...
How do you get a map that flat?
7:06 train station appects nothing,too far
This series has finished. I am currently doing season 6
What about GRFs
I cant download this tutorial. Do you know why?
I succeed. Thank you.
All downloads are available on my website
Where did yall get the texture pack.
He says that literally 30 seconds in..
how do i get to be able to have a loan of 500,000?
i cant see any where on how to get it, im stuck on only 300,000.
James Phillips 300,000 what? The game will adjust all your monies depending on currency ;)
Ahh I play in £ was your game in $ or €?
So in that case I have same amount as you did?
James Phillips No I am using £'s too. Are you able to change it in the advanced settings? Advanced Settings > Economy > Max Initial Loan
Just done,thanks. And to think I looked there as well...low
Cheers
Lmao The name was *F. Black*
Heres the link to download

You should name it playing Open TTD with OCD. xD
"Quite a large map"
Me: Plays on 4096x4096
4096 was not even an option 4 years ago
Why do you let your trains drive on the left side? You savage.
Because that is how we do it here in the UK... and we invented trains
@@MasterHellish
James Watt was Scottish right? And Chris Swayer is Scottish too.
It looks like Scottish have locomotives in their DNA.
Why are you taking coal to a nuclear power plant?
Those chimneys are used for all kinds of power plants. It has nothing to do with what's keeping the boilers going.
I know. I was joking.

Imbetween
why don't you just make them take what is already there instead of making them wait and build up traffic
Cause it's inefficient and you'll just end up wasting money on diesel
anyone who was wondering the game was ported so many times from mobile to the DS even to a frickin flip phone
You're playing the game customised for GB in every regard... EXCEPT ALL YOUR ROAD VEHICLES ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE!
Yep
