So we'll have Origin's server with the stable OTTD and a nightlies one for cargodist?

Probably. I'll see if I can dedicate my useless laptop to hosting. The nightlies server is more derpy-experimental though. I added the vacuum tube and pipeline transports. Also assymetric cargo dist. Symmetric seems too easy.
I'm also not managing to unlock rails by the 1800's. I'm doing a test map in 1890 and no railroads yet. Is there some trick to it?

So, does cargodist require you to do anything special?

Train unlocks depend on which railroad GRF you have installed. Which ones are enabled?

Pretty much just make sure that passengers can go from any station to any other station. They'll figure out changing trains on their own.

The ECS trainset.

Um... which ECS trainset? All I'm seeing in the download list is ECS industries.

Speaking of settings, Quake mentioned things not expiring. How do you set that? It was sorta hilarious to see horses available in the 1960s.

ECS and FIRS original vehicle set.

The non-expiring is an advanced setting I beleive. Gonna leave it on on our server too.

Talking about settings, what are the terrain generation settings for the last map? I'm having trouble making an insular map like that.
Also what was the weight multiplier applied to freight?

[Rose]

Dunno what might be the issue, then.
I know a sure-fire way to make sure things are working would be to install a different engine pack.

I beleive I might be lacking some pack, because my engine variety is abysmal when compared to the former server iteration.

Its in advanced settings, under some menu with vehicles in it.  Its a button toggle as to whether or not vehicles expire.

e:  Why dont you guys just copy my GRF settings I posted for the engines?  The three on the bottom are my vehicle packs.

[Aklyon]

Speaking of advanced settings, I see a 'founding towns in game' option. We should do that. Not quite sure what 'manual primary industry construction method' does between its three options, though it sounds interestingish.

Also, my newgrfs are what the previous server had, though Quake posted before I could finish typing:
ECS
-Town
-Chemicals II
-Houses
-Wood
-Agriculture
-Basic II
-Machinery
ECS & FIRS original vehicle set
UK Renewal Set
eGRVTS
FISH (Not on previous server)
av8 (Not on previous server)

Quake can you give me your terrain generation settings? I'm having trouble replicating the island goodness that the former map was.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And we are up.
Server adress is Djohaal.zapto.org
Password is herp256
use TTD nightly r25755

I'm not totally sure if I got the newgrf settings right (I turned on the extra closure protection on factories), and the map seems to have excessive factory density. otherwise all fine.

Edit: removed construction vector because it doesn't support infinite mines.
