Hi James,
Long time no speak. I've been quietly playing Simutrans in the meantime, but not much with Extended for some time.
My kind of play is still the same, start very early, with very small villages, and preferably no industries.
As we discussed before, Simutrans Extended needs at least some industry at the start of the game to generate the density float, starting a game with no industries will mean no industries generate.
But what if I were to start with a game that has an oversize in intended population and industries, then use the public service player to bulldoze all the industries and cut the towns down to the (small) size that I like? The float would still be there and spawn new industries as the population starts to grow again, right?
Kind Regards, DoR
