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!

I played a game on test server #77, which is APHID CB 7.5k with lots of demands of the city: water, food, passengers, mail, goods, gold. I delivered them using two-platform stations and ships - see legend in right-bottom corner of attached screenshot. I made a spiral also. I was not able to make an ideal spiral, but I think I've done it quite good. I've never made a loop. However, I've got high CS.

@dP and Saber: Please advice what I did wrong.

Edit: Sorry for writting another post after my post.

It's hard to say by screenshot, by your roads probably weren't long enough. As you also get cs when town reaches dead end, so you need you roads to continue far enough (at least 5 tiles after last house). You can see where exactly cs are happening if you enable "town growth tiles" in zoning toolbar (don't remember if btpro client has it but citymania one has for sure). Also read Advanced town growth , it explains things a bit.

Btw you can also do transfers and move some stations further out as town grows. This is what I did in same gamemode for example (it's half-finished but whatever).

Five tiles after last house + zoning to see CS = great advice :) Thanks!
