Simutrans Forum Archive

This scenario is based on Joker's map - if you like it, I can add more.


Prerequisities:
Despite the name, pak 1.2.9 and newest Simutrans base is used. I apologize to the natives.

Task:

General McArhur, welcome. Your task is to rebuild  Japan, destroyed by WWII war. New power is rising! You have 20 years to rebuild the Isles. Do not rely on the old industry - for their success, you need to complete transition on high-tech: you must build Electronics, Car and Goods chain in Japan to succeed. Secondary task is to make of Hiroshima a living and flourishing city.

Additonal bonus: Complete an automotive chain in South Korea, to prevent communist expansion; use only the minimum of Forests necessary for Goods to protect natural ressources for your children.

Limitations:
You can build only in South Korea and Japan. The China, Russia and North Korea are enemies and their industries cannot be used (even if there will appear any new). Many raw materials are located abroad, as it is in reality.

Tips:
You will need to eat first, then you would like to visit your relatives to check if they survived and then ... back to work!

OK, I got so far but needed oil from an oilrig. I can't build a ship-depot, nor can I raise land to get a rail-track within reach of the oilrig. Can't build ships - can't be right...

Please specify pak [a,b,c] and base [-06-1,-2,-3] in case that's the problem...

Meanwhile, I'll try 129a, 88-06-3, fresh install... Nope, still no ship-depots allowed.

Loos like a good one though, Sindor!

I have searched fairly thoroughly for a site that I'm allowed to build a ship-depot on, but without success. I think that normally it's related to the underwater contours, but I've always found somewhere withing a few tiles of the original attempt, and for this I must have tried a hundred places.

Extending the land is also impossible in the places I've tried - I get the 'Tile is not empty' error message. I'll try from the north but that's the opposite side from the land I'm starting from!

Maybe you altered contours as another player so simutrans has those tiles logged as that player's property?

I'll have a go with 129b just in case...

Thanks, Joker!

That throws it back to you, Sindor - if you can bear to re-build your scenario from scratch. If that makes you produce an 'Oh no' [expletives deleted] type reaction, don't worry. We'll just wait patiently for the next one...

Good idea - excellent, thank-you! I never normally use canals, I guess that's why I didn't think of it.

Cancel the re-write, Sindor - I'm off to post-war Japan!

It's running nicely - but I changed strategy anyway; industry costs so much to start I'm going passengers/post first...

BTW, later I found somewhere that I was allowed to build a ship depot. So the problem may not exist at all [like it's an underwater-contour thing and all the areas I tried had the wrong contours] or a player-issue like Sindor had altered something and it's registered as belonging to him.

Either way, persevere people. It's worth it!

My next game is going to be the Japan map straight, with Japan-pak. Unless Sindor posts another challenge first...

BTW, can you post some screenshots of your work, too?

I wonder, can someone make something like this for europe?

Patience, Danemark in progress I am waiting on Joker to finish Russia or Switzerland
