And here’s another thing – I’m talking about one climate out of four, with a different set of cargoes for each one! Here is a link to all four’s different ones.Have planes take passengers from a city to another city, then have a train network take passengers from those cities along the coast to smaller towns for holidays.A group of lorries take grain from nearby farms to a train station, where a freight train takes it to a far off factory to be made into all sorts of food, where you can have another set of trains take it to cities nearby. This player has created a chain of a railway that brings coal, and then has lorries carry coal to the power plant on the left, with another load of lorries carrying wood from the forest off-screen to the right.Īnd this is on the ground too – you can create airplanes/airports, massive freighter boats to fetch fish and offshore rigs, or transport 100s of passengers to an island town. Not to mention the goods – you have oil, which goes to a refinery where it becomes petrol and chemicals, where you can take that to other places, which make stuff to be taken to a town – and that’s one ‘industry chain’ out of a few of them. Now where it gets interesting is when you need to upgrade or renovate your railways, or when you have to transport some food to a station that is already being used by 2/3 passenger trains – how do you redo something that has a city grown around it? The game, after setting up a train station, some track to another station, and a depot (Where the trains can get a tune up and some oil on the wheel), or the same with road buses/lorries ( By placing a vehicle depot, some bus stops/freight stops, and then giving orders) is to create a train or set of buses or lorries to go to a depot, assign their goto orders (Goto Placeville’s Station, then Goto Nowhere’s Station, end orders – which then goes back to the top and starts again), and set them on their way, making sure they do their job correctly, quickly, and make money at the end of their journey. You click to choose a type of rail/road, then place it on a square on the world, you use the mouse to place a train depot, then use it to make a train out of the different train parts, and use the mouse to give orders to that train and then set it on it’s way. It plays mainly with the mouse, using the keyboard to speed things up. And you should too, because trains are awesome It has a cute pixel-ly art style to it, and lovely beepy boopy music to keep you going as you create an empire of rail and road, and alongside all this the community has made all sorts of additions of their own through NewGRFs.Īltogether it’s a neat little thing that can run on practically anything (maybe even a calculator if you have a lot of free time and some electrical engineering know-how), and will run at a good speed too, only hitching and crashing once in a blue moon. For this first OOOoooh, I’ll cover a cute little freely available transport game, download HEREĪ transport game – you’re a company that transports people or cows or coal and many other cargoes (A word for stuff when you move around a load of it) around a world, the aim being to get bigger and more intricate as time goes on, transporting more and more, making cities that you’ve helped grow demand more and more types of goods to then transport more to them to demand and so on.
