Welcome, Guest

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

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!

Spreading - Moved from Everything CityBuilder 8 years 8 months ago #4544

- Edit by Hawky: This discussion was moved here from topic: openttd.btpro.nl/forum/31-everything-cit...fastest-games-desert - The rules about spreading is also for the claimed town right? If so those stations with bus/mail are illegal as you are only allowed to have 3 in a row, iirc. And if im wrong this is an allowed spreading //Magnus 'Saber' Jonsson	Saber Topic Author Offline Premium Member FrankerZ Posts: 137 Thank you received: 34

Ive seen that discussion before. Having that amount of busses/trucks on a 3tile stop would stop it from working. Personally, i don't consider this spreading, if other admins disagree, i'll change my setups in future games.	Hawky Offline Moderator Posts: 56 Thank you received: 15

I reckon a rule of max 3 in a row long time ago. Might have been removed. Its a funny discussion though when this is considered spreading. Because u dont need even more than 2 stations for mail for it to run fluently. Where u might need more for passengers. However truckbus station catches 3 range so you can have a gap of 6 per stations //Magnus 'Saber' Jonsson	Saber Topic Author Offline Premium Member FrankerZ Posts: 137 Thank you received: 34

Saber, you can always check the rules here . In case of doubts, because it's impossible the rules specify and cover all possibilities, there's the way of asking an admin (or two, just in case ^^)	ST2 Offline Administrator Posts: 1222 Thank you received: 628

Its a good question imo as the rules dont clarify anything about spreading and how it should be done. As i said i remember the rules to be 3 in a row. Or ive been told so. However it seems to be from admin to admin what spreading means. As always

Make some clarified rules with pictures and nail em into stone?

its not many at all to cover.

In this case its spreading with 4 tiles to gather more pax. Is this allowed or not

and if its allowed it should be allowed on all servers i guess as there is no server specific rules on btpro.

There's situations when 3 stations in a row can be considered illegal spread and others where 5 (only an example) are not. And when most of the players didn't even look our Wiki (maybe you too), it's not very practical create rules/images for every possible case. But since you say that are "not many at all to cover", I challenge you to create images to ALL possible cases, with towns and industries. My thanks in advance
