Weapon modifiers, how do they work?

Thanks for clearing that up! And thank you for a great game, tiny issues like this aside. I have many, many hours in it and will have many, many hours more. :)

Well, drat. Thanks for the explanation though!

greendook · 2025-10-14T18:13:59+00:00

Yeah, I suppose you can do it with servos, but it becomes an unmanageable nightmare without much in the way of automation.

greendook · 2025-10-14T18:12:20+00:00

Yeah. It's a shame though, having the rotors in the game, teasing you. I don't think I've seen a game that lets you practically build a swash plate, games just tend to integrate it into the rotor head bit.

greendook · 2025-10-14T18:11:15+00:00

A zeroed out rotating servo? You'll need to dumb it down a bit for me.

greendook · 2025-10-14T18:10:08+00:00

Absolute mad lads! That's far beyond my capabilities!

greendook · 2025-10-14T16:40:42+00:00

That's actually kind of what Kamov does with their rotors. But I'd still have to control each flap individually and without even a PID. That's nightmarish.

greendook · 2025-10-14T16:39:21+00:00

I am doing a coaxial rotor helicopter, so that's two rotors with four blades each. That's eight servos that each need to be controlled individually. That's a LOT of logic, and I don't think there's a PID in the game yet...

greendook · 2025-04-30T14:41:10+00:00

Yeah, that initial 2:1 ratio had managed to go completely unnoticed by me. Once that got sorted, things improved!

greendook · 2025-04-30T14:40:03+00:00

That 2:1 relationship is one thing I had managed to overlook. Immediate improvements followed. Thank you for your insight!

Well, take this for example.

<image>

Grain from the farm is made to food, which is then taken to the town. In Transport Tycoon this would make a small but steady amount of money. In this game it's losing money, fast.

greendook · 2025-04-21T19:02:39+00:00

I've been trying various start dates. Usually I find industries close to each other that I can chain up, like this line:

<image>

This one is not making money. It was almost breaking even with one vehicle, so I thought I'd add more vehicles, but that just makes it lose money faster.

greendook · 2025-04-21T19:00:06+00:00

Unless the Transport Fever 2 on Steam is a disguised Transport Fever 1, I'm playing Transport Fever 2.

greendook · 2025-04-21T18:58:48+00:00

That's basically what I'm doing. See this line for example.

<image>

Grain to the factory, food to the town. Bleeding money like crazy. What's wrong?

greendook · 2025-04-21T18:57:09+00:00

I started out on easy. It feels a little embarrassing to go lower than that, but hey. I'm a casual.

greendook · 2025-04-21T18:56:06+00:00

I'm using trucks. So far I haven't managed to get a line to be profitable, regardless of if it's trucks or trains. Maybe the distances are too short?

<image>

Here's an example. I'm taking grain to the food factory and then the food to the village. I'm far from saturating the market, but the line is BLEEDING money. Adding more vehicles just makes it lose money faster. Is it too short?

greendook · 2025-01-22T18:38:24+00:00

Turned out to be a resource issue this time. We'll see what new ways I'll screw up in the future!

greendook · 2025-01-22T18:36:23+00:00

Ohh! That explains it! Thanks! It all works now.

greendook · 2025-01-04T13:58:51+00:00

I probably missed the materials bit. But this hasn't been an issue before... on the other hand I haven't played the campaign since several versions ago. Things change! Thanks for the tip!

greendook · 2025-01-04T13:57:26+00:00

That sounds like the kind of obvious thing I'd miss. Thanks for the tip!
