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!

FIRS bidirectional transportation 7 years 4 months ago #5782

It is possible to do the bidirectional transportation using different types of cargoes on FIRS server, i.e. transport one cargo in one direction and another cargo in opposite direction. This become possible due to automatic refitting of trains at stations, which can be specified in "Orders". For example, I can refit train to oil and load it at station A, and then unload oil and refit to chemicals and load them at station B, then unload chemical at station C. After that train can go to station A again forming a loop. The same behaviour player expects for other wagon types (not just tank wagon), but behaviour appears to be different. For example, if I load sand at station A, refit train to building materials at station B, then the train will never be refitted back to sand at stations.

that depends on the newgrf's used and the wagons picked.
Have you tried this?
Example on server #30-Temperate - Citybuilder:


Or this one, tested on server #9-RandomClimates - Company Value:


From what I saw, you need to select the station order to select the "refit" order changes.

I think those are the 2 servers we have using FIRS and the sets used allow to "refit on station". I don't to test it, but options are there so, I guess they should work ^^

Hope it helps :)

Yes, options are there, but they do not work. Test it: try to refit train at station to building materials and then refit train to sand at other station. There is only bulk wagon that can be used for that. Flatbed wagon does not allow to transport sand.
The train will refit to sand and to building materials, but after refitting to building materials it won't refit to sand.
I have encountered that problem on server #9.

The table below shows all possible refits at stations for bulk wagon. Green means refit is possible. Red means refit is impossible.
Though refits marked with red can be done in depots, this leads to potential jams, when added to vehicle orders.
