When moving a vehicle between groups / lines with Ctrl pressed, all vehicles in that group are moved. After creating a new line, the player could add any existing vehicle to it, both from the "No orders" group currently known as "Ungrouped" and any other, thereby changing the vehicle's orders (you cannot add a new vehicle to the group if it does not exist - usually there are many depots, often on separate lines, so the player would have to decide where to buy this new vehicle). After pressing the create new line button, the same orders creation window would open. By assigning orders in the classic way, the game would automatically create a new group / line in the vehicle list, and the vehicle with these orders would immediately be placed in that order group. adding a new line through a dedicated button in the vehicle list window classic, like today (all current players stay at home)ī*. Each vehicle or group of vehicles sharing the orders would form a separate group on the list - a line (Line 1, Line 2, Line 3.Perhaps over "unsupported lines" could be highlighted and centered title "Lines" to organize this list better. Recently I came to the conclusion that dividing vehicles into groups according to two criteria and creating two tabs is not very useful at all and it would be possible to keep one list. Some time ago there was a topic on the TT-forums about the problem of assigning vehicles to other orders and transferring them to groups with other orders. I hope it won't be offtop, but I would have some concept here. What I would do is make somewhere, not sure where yet, where you can define routes. This is very hided and not obvious idea, but this knowlege is quite important if you want to develop your company and have fun from the game so I think that some improvements would be very useful. Yes, from what I see very often in the game, many players don't notice at all that vehicles can form groups of common orders. But I also think that creating something too revolutionary would not necessarily be good. I think it would really make sense and could even be a significant simplification not only for new players. I think we should move away from the "order" concept, and go into a "route" / "lines" concept I think we should stop adding that on a single line, as that becomes completely unreadable.

Next to that, we have a ton of properties we can assign to the destination: full load, at the end, etc. This is the primary information, and everything else should be second. In the most basic form, we want to tell where a train has to go: go to station A, next to station B, etc. And make a GUI dedicated for routes, instead of for trains.Īdditionally, I think we should change how we plan those routes. pivoted from the order, instead of from the route.
Here basically it is like the current orders.įrom a technical point, not much changes really. On a train you can see which route it is following. " or what-ever, to quickly "clone" trains. If you want to scale up your route, you can just click "buy new train based on. Maybe timetable also makes a lot more sense from this window. It should be easy to drag a train in a new route, etc. From this window you can also make new trains, which assigns them on the route. You also select which depots can be used for the route, for service, new trains, etc. You select the stations, waypoints and buoys to make a route. This is often confusing to me, so I assume for many people.
Shared orders are the bread and butter to make a successful empire, so why not center a bit more around that.Ĭurrently, shared orders are very hidden unless you know what you are looking for. The reasoning is simple: if you play OpenTTD for a bit of time, you rarely have a single train on a route. I think we should move away from the "order" concept, and go into a "route" / "lines" concept. This story is a personal opinion and should be read as such. Discord DMs might not be the place to store these ideas. I had some talks about this pretty recently, so let me put them here too. (PS: awesome thread, tnx for all the investigation above)
