Already in development for over 7 years, wat?

another janky-ass EA game released when it's barebones and not close to ready for EA. 7 years in development my ass. EA has become an absolute joke where so many devs just put their games up, take a bunch of money, and then fade into obscurity or just slowly stop posting updates.

I fuckin' love OpenTTD, so I really hope updates really make this game into a worth successor.

(or w/e how long EA does exist on STEAM) he went with it to game development shows and events to gather feedback before even thinking about EA guess sharing fact this was developed for N years, will be in EA for N+X years is bad those days or something ...

I'm not entirely sure what a good number of wagons to have on my trains relative to horsepower is. Is there some general rule of thumb I should be going for?

After the whole train fever thing im cautiously optimistic, multiplayer is basically a guaranteed sell to me though

10/13/2017 - NEW BUILD (637) [quote] Added: Wagon length visible on buttons when buying Added: Visualize train overall length in depot (lines, sum) and on train window Added: Train maximum weight to be able to accelerate towards the hill Fixed: Signals placement on X shaped track Added: Colorization of capacity, length, wagon bonus Modified: A bit faster reaching of top speed [/quote]

[QUOTE=archival;52771641]After the whole train fever thing im cautiously optimistic, multiplayer is basically a guaranteed sell to me though[/QUOTE] Not sure why this was rated dumb. Train Fever while fun and somewhat groundbreaking on the genre is extremely buggy and poorly optimized, same with its successor Transport Fever. How is Mashinky in comparison?

10/20/2017 - NEW BUILD (643) [quote] Fixed: hiding station area visualization after building an upgrade Fixed: overlapping of station extensions Added: Coal hopper station extension Added: Iron ore hopper station extension Modified: Tunnel and terrain modification cost Modified: New SKU localized texts [/quote]

So is this just strictly steam era or are there diesels and electrics as well?

[QUOTE=Bbarnes005;52803984]So is this just strictly steam era or are there diesels and electrics as well?[/QUOTE] One of the reasons that I love TTD. The way that the pace changes over time feels exciting

I love the new updates, the new industries and locomotives defiantly add more to the game in a positive way. Although I really do wish they had more American-style rolling stock and maybe making how passengers work a little more complex than just shipping them from Town A to Town B.

the new feature to you, CHAIN SIGNALS.
