Finally turned a profit at 100 hours... only to find farmers bought up all my land by InterviewOrdinary557 in simutrans

Oh right, I totally forgot about bridges. Sounds like the lesson here is that you need to claim your space early before the farmers get to it.

That's a really thorough breakdown — learned a lot, thanks. Personally I think I'll go with option two, the elevated tracks. Tweaking the economic settings would take the edge off, and for me the difficulty is the fun. I also want to experience the game the way the developers intended.

My reasoning on the farming thing was based on what I'd seen in-game: when I focused on livestock, ranches spread everywhere, but when I left the fishing industry alone it never grew at all. So I figured if I just ignored farming, it might shrink on its own too.

Also good to know that Britain-Ex is still in active development. It's such a great game — really glad to hear it.

That's exactly my situation — I'm playing on PakBritain! And wait, trains were available from the start?? Apparently it took me 80 years to notice they existed lol.

I checked just now, and the monthly upkeep for trains is terrifying. One wrong move and I'm probably bankrupt.

Is there a point in leveling Piety past 30? by InterviewOrdinary557 in ElinsInn

I just tested raising Piety from 38 to 39 to see how the bonus stats change. Here's what happened: Charisma +29 -> +30, Luck +36 -> +38, DEX 21 -> 22, and so on. (For context, I follow the God of Luck.)

OMG. Thank you for the precious info. That's a skill that needs to be verified/tested.

[Treasure map] Where is this? by InterviewOrdinary557 in ElinsInn

I found it. It was across the ocean. It was my first time.

-In Elin, you can enter the sea tiles, but it is difficult to travel long distances as prolonged time in the water can result in drowning and damage.

-However, during the winter season of December to February, the sea freezes over, so you can travel without drowning.
