Wide Coverage Train Stations (Vanilla):
---------------------------------------
There is probably a cheat code for this, or a mod. But for those
playing vanilla, here’s a neat way of stretching a train station’s
catchment area.
Say you have a few industries close to each other. You would like
to build 1 train station to service them all, but they are a little
too far apart for 1 station. Here’s what you can do…
Build a tiny station 1×1 close to one of the industries. Then build
another 1×1 platform touching the first 1×1 you just built. The two
platforms can touch each other side-by-side or diagonally. This 2nd
platform does not create another train station, but will belong to
the station of the 1st platform.
Keep adding more 1×1 platforms. As you do, they will all belong to
that one station, expanding its catchment area. You can thus expand
the station’s catchment area to cover multiple industries. You can
then build the platform you want your trains to use anywhere within
that area.
And there you have it… one station with extra wide coverage. I think
the maximum distance is 16 tiles from one end of the station to the
other, with the normal 4 tile radius of coverage for each 1×1 platform,
making the station’s total area of coverage 24 tiles across (4 + 16 + 4).
If you build these 1×1 platforms in an “X” pattern and a “+” pattern
within it, the station’s catchment area will cover 24 x 24 tiles. That
gives you one huge train station! You can place the platforms your
trains will use anywhere within that area.

-=Start Small=-
Begin with a small, simple transportation network. This allows you to
understand the basics of building and managing without overwhelming
complexity.
-=Connect Industries=-
Connect industries to towns to facilitate the transfer of goods. This
forms the foundation of your transportation network and boosts your income.
-=Plan Efficient Routes=-
Plan your routes efficiently to minimize travel time and increase profit
margins. Consider factors like terrain and existing infrastructure when
designing your network.
-=Manage Finances=-
Keep a close eye on your finances. Avoid overspending on infrastructure
and ensure your transportation services are profitable.
-=Utilize Signals=-
Implement signals to manage train traffic efficiently. Signals help prevent
collisions and optimize the flow of goods.
-=Diversify Transportation Modes=-
Experiment with different transportation modes, such as trains, buses,
ships, and airplanes. Diversifying can open up new revenue streams.
-=Upgrade Vehicles=-
Regularly upgrade your vehicles to improve efficiency and speed. Upgraded
vehicles can carry more passengers or goods, contributing to higher profits.
-=Pay Attention to Town Growth=-
Invest in towns experiencing growth, as they offer more passengers and
cargo to transport. This can significantly boost your income.
-=Research and Development=-
Allocate funds to research new technologies. Advanced technologies unlock
more efficient and profitable transportation options.
-=Use Landscaping Tools=-
Utilize landscaping tools to your advantage. Flatten terrain to ease
construction or modify landscapes to create more direct routes.
Remember, OpenTTD is about experimentation and learning from your experiences.
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, as they are an integral part of the learning
process. As you become more familiar with the game mechanics, you can
gradually take on more complex challenges and create intricate transportation
networks.
