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,

K1 Server The 1 billion a year turnover challenge 6 years 9 months ago #6368

The K1 server (15 billion company value)
In order to add an additional game element to the K1 server, I propose to create the “1 billion a year turnover” award, as an extra recognition for great players. This award could be displayed in your login, to show that the player has achieved something which is extraordinary. I also think that players could team up to play for the award, for fame and glory – (like Blackhawk and I did. We missed our goal by just a handful of millions.) I have seen brilliant players reach 1 billion, I have personally never reached it.
To document your achievement you should post on the forum
1. A screendump of the result, showing your turnover (As I have done in the example attached to this post). This could perhaps be done automatically at a later stage (?)
2. We would also like to see your network (Professional interest), so a screendump of your network (the map) is appreciated, but not required.
Do not forget to have fun!!!

K1 Server The 1 billion a year turnover challenge 6 years 9 months ago #6369

I got so close, and would have made it probably if i didnt win the game before the new year ended. But ill try again in the future

For extra info: I started out with coal, until that made me 50-60billion a year or so (about 50 trains), all standard 7 tracks long. I hate to start with long trains, dont think that is needed there. After that i made oil line. Important for me is a giant field where i can place 40 boats, i hate little fields where i have to ship by train to one main station so i like to put one giant station right next to it. After that i worked on goods line, now this one makes my most money, i use 4 tracks, for like double the room of trains. Than i went on to make farms to put that grain and livestock to the same hub. So i made goods from the oil and farms together, like 15k goods per month or so in the end.

You can also see i like the spiderweb approach, like making one big station between 2/3 industries and than funnel those industries by single lines all around them. I think this works best for me xD

Oh and most important: always keep ratings up!! And no pax at all (okok, only pax planes for just 7mil a year:))

here is picture of 989 million a year: ibb.co/iYWEib

I cant believe how hard it is to just ping over 1000mil. I`m always stuck at 980/990 no matter what i build or try. I cant believe it. Best try so far now is 993m income. But... i destroyed the record with 7hour 25minuts so far... so i got that going for me, which is nice.. i guess The following user(s) said Thank You: Utslagsnes	Telamon Offline New Member Posts: 7 Thank you received: 15

1068 million a year.

edit: postimg.cc/image/egvc10b0b/

Ok so what i did was fairly simple, i started with coal and made it pretty big. The advantage doing that is you can get early income, After just a few years i already pushed 100+ mils. So once i had like 120 trains distributed over my coal network i made my oil line and goods line and expanded on my coal. After doing all that i was stuck around 700 mills a year or so but when inflation really came it just grew up, till i suddenly had like 1000+. Oh yeah, once i made 800+ i thought it maybe could work and made 2 small farm hubs for a few extra goods but it barely had any effect i think. Most of my money came from coal.

The weird part is that i didn't even intentionally started the game for it, i was just trying out what happens if i put attention to coal instead of usual farms/oil wells (last game i made extra oil from land and was stuck at like 800mils)

Also hit 1023 mil by the time i was 80% to goal or something, fairly early. But my game did not appear to be very fast somehow, i only won in 8 hour 2 minut. I had faster games.

ps: was gonna hit 1100+ if i didn't win it before it happened xD

Extra thanks to Bahnmeister to keep me company!

Congratulations, great achievement! I play K1 just once a year (too long for me), but I play a lot on other servers. And usually fast games or interesting new ideas come up when you are not planning any breakthroughs. Sometimes it is a matter of luck + staying cool I wonder if you can repeat it in next games. Good luck! The following user(s) said Thank You: Utslagsnes	tomb Offline -=EPIC Donator=- Posts: 237 Thank you received: 234
