Welcome to the BTPro OpenTTD Community

This community was build around the game: OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an (Free) open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

 

!!! Please note that a few servers have been shut-down !!!
Most of the times these servers were doing nothing (no players),
that's why I've decided to slim down the number of OpenTTD servers running.

I have made a selection to keep the most popular servers online.
If you miss a OpenTTD server that you REALLY played a lot, please do post
in the forums. I will then check if I can get it back online!

I'm trying to work from now on with only 1 physical server to
run all OpenTTD instances!

The following servers have been shut down recently:

1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 18

Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

Frank, ST2, Wacko1976, Inscius!

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

Server Rules
Rule 9

TOPIC:

Rule 9 9 years 6 months ago #3640

hello :)

starting from the end:
- the idea of rule #9 is to keep oil rigs available to all players. if trains were allowed (by terraforming to build stations), many oil would get impossible to reach (by train or ships) to some other players. Leaving the water free, means many more players can load oil (directly from oil rigs, or building a dock to cover several - allowed by rule #9)

so, in other words: terraforming or not (already existing land), stations that have rail/truck/airports attached can NOT reach oil rigs.

well, I hope that clears your doubts ^^

Rule 9 9 years 6 months ago #3641

TBH your explanation confuses me a bit. (maybe I am just a bit slow or it is your English, I dunno..)

I always thought that if a (train)station can already cover a rig (without terraforming) it is allowed. Is this correct?

On an alternative note: I actually think transferring oil from a rig to a (train)station that already covers the rig would create a rule violation because it would cause so called "selfcompetition".

Rule 9 9 years 6 months ago #3642

well, there's no confusion there, but I'll add a word to make it simpler:

With terraforming or not (already existing land), stations that have rail/truck/airports attached can NOT reach oil rigs. Because #9: Water-borne resources MUST be taken by use of SHIPS only (...)

Clear enough to me ^^

Previous reply was hidden, due the clear intentions of make confusion around rule #9

Edit: there's no reason to a player feel confused with any rules, if not even play the game (and specifically not playing on BTPro)

there's predictable reactions and now I know it's all a revenge issue.

I'll leave the topic open to who really wants to discuss/help on the topic title: Rule # 9. All others not related will be removed. Thank you.
