simutrans is awesome. i love starting on a huge map with hundreds of small villages and cities which i slowly add to my growing transport network. tfw after many hours of playing your network consists of hundreds of trains transporting thousands of virtual passengers and no matter how much you play there is always room to extend or adapt your existing network.

Also interested in this question. People buy and sell options to buy commodities, but how do you just buy the stuff, where do you pick it up, etc etc?

>>1092081
For crude oil in NA you buy it in Cushing Oklahoma, that's the only one I know.

Thanks bro, but i need an inside track on lumber.

>>1092081
You buy it from the places where it's produced. If you want lumber, you can buy it from a lumber mill. Or, if you want a smaller quantity, you buy it from a retail store.

There's no physical 'commodities market' where people gather together to buy and sell random stuff. And investors generally don't want to buy and hold something like physical lumber, because it's extremely expensive to transport and store, and you're going to have trouble finding someone to sell it to. (You're not a lumber mill, so people are not going to come to you asking to buy lumber.)

Shout out to the ppl that recommended simutrans. I got openttd. And it's fun as fuck

I'm currently playing OpenTTD and getting a little bored. How does Simutrans compare?

>>1094348
I was just about to ask. Haven't downloaded Simutrans yet, but right off the bat, I see you can have stations underground or elevated, highways, stackable tracks, etc, so it sounds a lot more fun in a dense urban environment, right off the bat.

Coal and wood transported by rail for the early game, passengers later when the Dart airplane is invented.

im so shit at building railroads it hurts. Thats why I like making airports lmao

>>1092737
I build stuff with it.

>>1095442
My railroads are 100% unoptimized. Each train has its own separate track. Works out brilliantly anyway.
