[Music] hello there Master helish here and welcome to a special open TTD video now earli in the year potato whiskey set out and did a city growing challenge in open TTD and in their video they said this that I would actually be very interested to see other YouTubers take up this challenge cuz while I am putting a decent amount of work into it I'm not I'm not super optimizing so I would be curious to see it's like an open invitation if you want to try this yourself so here we are we have a brand new scenario and here in the middle of this world is hellish City now it's worth noting that hellish City actually isn't a city it's a town in terms of open TTD now I could have made it a city but that would have been unfair in the challenge because cities grow faster in open TTD than standard towns so we would had an unfair advantage in this challenge so I've kept it the same we've also got one house one church and one football stadium the same as potato M whiskey had and it is not a city it's a town but we're going to call it a city from here on out also around the world we have some Industries there's one of each industry dotted around the map steel mill over here Forest over here and we've got a factory over here I'm not quite sure where they are cuz I used the random generator just to throw them on there we've got some hills and rivers too and you can tell that using the 1.13 generation because we've got wide Rivers at the mouths of water there not important but if you want to play the exact same scenario as me you will be able to download this scenario off my website and all the links to that is in the video description along with the links to that original video from potato M whiskey uh with you know so you can check that out if you haven't already done so so I guess we need to uh take out a load of loans so let's unpause the game take out maximum amount of stuff we've got here we've got 750 hellish points that's right we've gone with hellish points for this playr and we're going to start building some roads because we need roads to place some things on so I'm going to I'm going to build my road like this uh we're going to go out that way uh I'm going to actually remove a little bit of the road there and we're I'm going to do a weird sort of pattern uh we're going to go actually this this it's not possible right I suppose I suppose I could go this way o uh yeah let's do let's do that so I'm working out a ro a pattern here and it is actually important so in uh the playthrough in the challenge video grids were important uh that is what it was decided uh that the everybody was going crazy about the grid I saw it in the comments as well people talking about the grid and how the grid had to fill up the land and so forth unfortunately the grid pattern is actually not an efficient uh pattern for City grind mechanics uh as alluded to in the original video uh the city growing algorithm starts in the middle of the city and it starts looking outwards and it follows the roads and when it sees uh gets to the end of a road it might decide to extend the road um or it might decide to place a house along the side the road now it only goes so far before it gives up goes back to the beginning and tries again and it only tries again so many times so if you have a grid there is a chance that the uh the root algorithm will just go round and round in Loops in circles and not actually get to the outskirts of your city and then be able to grow doing a spiral like this fixes that problem so the algorithm will go along the path and it will have the most efficient chance to get to a point of the city where there's no houses so it will grow quite nicely so that's what we're going to be trying to do it's not about the Grid it's about the spiral now I've got a bit of spiral in and the one thing that um and many things were right in the original video and one of the things that was right is that you need stations so we're going to put some stations in now I'm not exactly sure where I'm going to put all of my stations but the number of stations you need is five the city growing algorithm works on that any less than five you're not going to be growing as fast any more than five is pointless because the game doesn't care so let's start with one in the very middle uh I'm going to make a through station and then not far after that not too far away we'll have a couple uh more through stations we'll have one here and one there yeah that seems quite nice now because I've got a spiral our Vehicles need to be able to turn around and they can't do that on a straight piece of road now if I make a non-straight piece of road that will ruin the algorithm so we're going to make a change of pace and we're going to switch to the other style of bus station so the uh the one where it's got an orientation where you build it off the road and I'm going to put that let's see we've got three squares Gap there let's make a little bit of a gap and put one yeah we'll put one over here and we'll put one facing the other way uh in a similar sort of almost symmetrical pattern there brilliant so we're spending those hellish points and with it being in 1930 there's a lot of hellish points to be spent now um 1930 means that we're quite limited on our choice of vehicles limited being the fact that we've only got one choice but that will do the job we need somewhere to build that vehicle so let's get a road Depot going uh I suppose it doesn't really matter where that road Depot is so we'll shove it on the end of the street here we'll build some vehicles and we'll give them some orders so there's our first vehicle and I'm going to give it some orders I'm going to tell it to go through each of these places in turn so we're going to start in this one go to that one that one that one that one and then we'll go back again along that line so we'll go back to this one back to that one and back to that one and then we won't do the first one again because the vehicle will repeat its orders so the the uh stations at either end are going to get visited roughly half as much as the ones in the middle but that doesn't matter because the city growing algorithm is relatively straightforward there's a certain period of time I believe it's h it's either 3 months or 60 days or something like that it's something along those lines and in that period of time the uh station needs to have something either picked up or dropped off it doesn't have to be uh picked up or dropped off and if you dump a load a passengers uh at a station unloading them uh like in the original video uh it doesn't actually make a difference um as far as I'm aware there's nothing in the uh City gr algorithm that that that would actually affect so we have our vehicle we're going to need more than one because to be able to service all five of these stations within that time limit let's bash another load in there uh we're not going to have a massive amount of money so let's go quite conservative we're going to start with five I say conservative five is probably way too much but we'll start them on their way and they'll naturally spread out as the game progresses okay so we have our spiral we have our stations and we have our vehicles what are we missing well we've got some money but we're missing a real money maker these vehicles are probably going to cost more money than they're going to generate especially near the beginning of the game when we haven't got many houses uh or buildings around for us to be able to move passengers so we're going to have to make some money now before we do that you might be thinking who is this guy and what is this game so I'm going to take a quick second to tell you I'm Master hellish I do videos and live streams about games and game tutorials so if you want to know more about me check out this Channel or go to master.net now opdd is a fantastic free game it's a retro transport Sim that's been around for ages and it's really well refined so because it's free I highly recommend you give it a go and you can pick it up on steam or from their website and try it out now back to the game now in the original challenge the maximum loan was 300,000 points so I've set my loan to that here now to match it however if you play this scenario you can take a maximum of 750,000 out I'm feeling generous but I'm matching the 300,000 that potato M whiskey had and why do we need all this money well we need money to help the city to grow we're going to need to be able to delete these rivers and grow the city out this way and also flatten land that's going to cost the cash we need to get that cash so what we're going to do is we're going to have a look around the industries and find out which are the best ones to work with now there's two different factors to consider first is the uh the cargo payment rates this is how much you get paid for delivering a particular cargo around the map so we're going to ignore passengers and mail because our Town's tiny we haven't got a lot of that and we're going to look at all the other stuff now Goods is a secondary Industries uh a commodity so you you can't just get goods and then deliver it you need to do something else first so we're going to get rid of that and it's the same with steel so we're going to get rid of that we haven't got a bank so we can't use valuables we're going to get rid of that and you can see here we're left with a variety of different Commodities so coal appears to pay the best and yes that is correct we're also then looking at potentially iron or is in second in third is wood fourth is grain then we've got oil and at the bottom is livestock so that's kind of the priority order we want to look at but there's another thing to take into consideration and that's the amount that the industry produces so if we look down here at this Forest we can see it produces 128 tons of wood that's actually quite good these are randomized as part of the scenario so we can go around the different things so we've got a coal mine over here that's 168 tons uh we've got an iron or mine of 108 tons we got a farm with the uh the Grain and livestock there uh what else have we got on the map uh this might be some oil wells I think but what you can do is you go to the industries Tab and it shows you the uh the directory of the industries here so we can actually get a list of them and we can sort by production and there you go you can see the amount of production for all these different items so let's close these other windows and we can see here here that the farm is producing quite a lot of grain uh I'm not quite sure why that is above the coal maybe it's because it's grain and livestock and it adds the two together and that makes like U more but I'm going to ignore that one cuz that's two different Commodities and the next one is coal so not only is our Coal Mine pretty much top of the list on the producers it's also top of the list of the payment rates so we're going to have to use our Coal Mine we've got 2,500 sorry 20 223,000 hellish points to spend I don't think that's going to be enough to get to this power station with a double track and multiple trains so we're going to have to be careful with our cash so let's get our station orientation up we're going to have a single track at platform length 7 I'm going to get as far away from the coal mine as possible that's just habit with me if you build your stations really close then it can be difficult to expand them later so I build it far away so let's put it there you can see that it supplies coal oh we need to unpause the game again there we go and if we head all the way up here to this uh Power Station we need to get it so that it accepts coal there we go now we need to build a railway line between the two so let's do that so we're going to come down here we're going to need to go and have some diagonal these rivers are going to be expensive to go over but I feel like just going to have to do it we're just going to have to bite the bullet and spend a bit of cash to get across these Rivers so let's do that I think I spent no I thought I'd spent an extra one I didn't need to then but I actually did need that now if I can't get a track down here oh no I just built it in the wrong place okay we got most of our money back there not all of it but most uh if I can't build one track and the train uh we're going to have a problem because we're then not going to be able to uh afford to expand the track and get even more money but there we go we've got our single line down to here and we can expand that to about there and head up towards our power station there we go how are we're doing with money okay we spent quite a lot of the money but we're also pretty close to finishing our line we will need some Depot and later we'll need some signals okay actually got a little bit too much track here so let's take that off okay we've got 89,000 hellish points left let's go in and get ourselves a train depo and really we should have multiple depos along this route so that the train can service and not break down but I'm just going to put one at each end to start it's kind of like the bare the minimum in my opinion and we only have the Kirkby pulse Tank Engine let's buy that and we're going to fill it up with coal trucks and I say fill it up we got platform length seven so I'm looking at this number here see this number there we're going with that uh we're going to give it some orders we're going to say full load here and then go all the way down the line and unload there now how much did that train cost me to make in total well if I get clone train and I hold shift it will tell me that how much it costs so it's 21,000 we can actually afford two of these so what we'll do is we'll get that one on its way and then once that one leaves we'll buy a second one and start expanding the track so that we can have multiple trains going in both directions let's check back at helish City Central those buses that we purchased they're up and rolling which is fantastic that's going to help the city to grow the city's now gone to a population of 70 cuz it's moved some of the houses around it will zigzag but Trend upwards the town is growing every 105 days okay Town's growing that's good and at the moment the town is not growing beyond our spiral remember it's all about the spiral here now something that uh potato MC whiskey did in their or original video was they went to the local Authority and they funded new buildings this gives a boost to the town growth I'm going to do none of that um just because I want to see if I can beat him without doing that uh kind of like show the power of the Spiral so to speak so we're going to do that um in we're not going to fund any buildings now if you want to take on this Challenge and fund buildings and do a spiral and do all the stations and anything else you can think of then like I said earlier the link for the download of this scenario will be on my website and the link to that is in the video description and I also have an extra special city challenge to tell you about at the end of the video it's like it's like this but 10 times more crazy maybe 11 times more crazy okay how's our train doing our train is doing good it's loading up good okay now we're going to do some fast forwarding now potato whiskey uh did some fast forwarding and in their settings um let's just find the fast forward setting here it is um I'm assuming that their uh setting was set to default which is uh up to 2,500 normal game speed which is really fast but what you can do is change that limit to zero and what that does it goes as fast as possible as fast as your computer can handle which can be absolutely crazy so we're going to go up into this corner and you can see this shown frame rate option this tells you the stats of how well the game's running and you can see the current game speed factor is pretty much one 1 x what we can do is uh instead of clicking that button at the top of the screen we can hold tab for a moment and it will go quickly and look at that I'm going to pause the game because the game went so fast the Train's just gone it went more than 2,000 times the speed I saw 2,000 there for a split second where's the train gone okay it's on its way and we've still got 59,000 hellish points and it is full of coal I don't know how much money this Train's going to make if you want to put a guess down in the comments we'll check that out soon I'm going to unpause the game let that train do some of its Journey uh and we're going to purchase a uh a second train we're going to to clone the train and what I'm going to do is instead of going to find the train I'm going to click on the station click on the trains and it tells you all the trains that go to that station then I'm going to clone the train from here and if I hold control what that does is it does shared orders if you're playing open TTD and you're not doing it with shared orders or don't know about shared orders you need to learn so there it is at the bottom there it says look at the end of the orders it says end of shared orders the short version of the story means is that if I make a train a change to train two then the same change will happen to chain train one so if you add an extra stop on its Journey you don't have to go around all the trains changing it it just happens so let's get train to out and loading now train can't train 2 can't come out yet uh because the signals this line is in use so we'll put a signal in there and we'll start a second line now we need to be careful we don't build too much and run out of money though very expensive to build track in this oh my goodness I fast forwarded for a split second and the train loaded filled up and now has gone back to the depot that is absolutely ridiculous is that did the other train no the other train isn't there yet okay that's fine uh we need to let this oh we're not allowed while game's paused okay we need to let this train leave and I think it can do now it should be able to come down this line but because this line doesn't have a valid route to the destination yet oh yes look there we go we've nearly ran out of points tell you what we're going to do we're going to put a waiting spot in here so the train can come out down and wait there which will allow the other train to come back there we go that'll do for now as the money comes in I'll upgrade this line and change it normally I'd just take out more loan or do a smaller line but I can't do a small in line cuz I ain't got any more options really around here there's there's only one city which is growing we're up to 112 uh people now uh in the city we've got uh four houses five is that one old is that one being built or is it derel what's going on this is under construction okay brilliant fantastic okay those buses are doing their job we're actually getting a few hellish points delivering customers and the town is growing every 105 days how's our train getting along okay our Train's doing quite good what I'm going to do is just temporarily uh um change the game setting instead of being at No Limit we're going to change it to um the 500% so five times the normal speed and I'm going to just hold tab to to get that train to its destination oh it's broken down I wonder what its reliability is like reliability is 43% oh that's really bad it's broken down twice since it left um and it's cost us it's getting up to 1,000 hellish points to just run this train so if you're playing along with the guess how much it's going to make put your guess in the comments now I'm going to make a guess and say this is going to have 475,000 of income it's going to go to the depot first we need that money because we've only got 7,000 hellish points remaining oh it's waiting for a free path okay oh oh dear right pause pause what happened there was when it went in the depot it freed up the line for the other train and the other train started coming down the track uh we're going to have to deal with that so uh let's put some signals in here that's going to let the train come out and we're going to have to just deal with this later and hope we don't get a train crash so steam train's coming in I said 475,000 let's see how right or wrong I was shall we unloading and our money coming in is 66 th 665,000 that's good okay much better than what I thought it was going to be okay I've paused the game because I need to think about what I'm going to do here because our train now is taking up the reservation and we really need another train okay first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to clone our existing train so now we've got three of them on the go we spent a bit of money doing that now this Train's on the wrong line and we need a passing place so that the trains can do that I think what we'll do see 51,000 isn't going to be enough to get both of these trains down so I think what we'll do is we will add a second line here up to where we're going to run out of money and then we'll just pop a signal in and a and a a kind of a junction and when the second train pays off we'll probably then be able to do the rest we're actually getting quite far down the line I didn't think we was going to be able to build this far uh I also need uh some money for signals as well so at least the second train is making its way and the third train is loading by now okay we're running running low of money so I'm going to do this and put a signal there that will allow our train here to depart and while I'm at it how much is it going to cost for a second platform only 2,000 let's put that in there we go fantastic we can get our other signal in there we can put signals all the way down the line soon we do that by dragging it makes it nice and quick but for now H look this Train's going to go onto that other Track by the time train one comes back and we haven't got a massive Gap here to fill in I wonder out if we can get it a little bit closer with our 14,012 10 8 Grand left in the okay I don't really want to get much lower than that we'll pop a signal in there remove this passing place just remove that signal temper temporarily so train three will come into this line and wait train one will go back and load up train two will go up it the trains are brilliant okay so now I'm going to change that fast forward setting back uh we're going to for the rest of the video we're going to have it on as fast as my computer can possibly manage zero okay so I'm going to tap that you see the trains jumped down the line where's the second train gone can we follow the second train where is it I've lost it it's it disappeared from reality oh that's the oh that is the second train it's the second Train's on its way back already and we've got I think oh no that's train one still I don't know is that train two that's train three what train 2 is doing there it's go it must have hit a signal and returned oh no it didn't manage to make the journey Why didn't it make the journey well train three is on its way so hopefully train three yeah train three is doing train one's loading train three is on its way and train two is waiting yes we just hit the negativ but one of the trains paid off which means I can afford to carry this piece of track on now nice we'll go back and check on the city in a minute see what our growth's like but this is really important to get this money there we go and this Train's in the way so I just tap that tab button the train just disappears it's almost like it's teleporting isn't it right we'll remove that signal and we'll remove that signal and then before there's a train crash we'll put signals all the way down the railway line uh um yep that looks good and then we'll put them oh we haven't got enough money to put signals all the way back the other way okay we need one of these trains to pay off come on we need a train to unload here it is there it is there they are boom right signals down the other way now good okay so the track is finished we just need an another platform down here and then that is that line done any spare money we can spend on more trains we're only transporting 48% of the the stuff here at the moment and I bet our ratings aren't very good yeah look medium 41% that's terrible how's the city doing well the city is now up to 399 residents wow we've got a uh a new sports stadium in there um looks like the church got knocked down is that the church a new church is under construction there are see they're liking that and what the algorithm is doing here is it's following that road path and it's building out and constructing along it so we need to be able to keep ah head at that and that's where all this money comes in that we've been trying to do with our coal so we continue out the spiral let's see uh if we do spiral to there there we go that's pretty good good nice let's see how our trains are doing down here okay we we need more trains we we definitely need more trains these trains are going to make us all the money we oh right okay well we hav going enough money so we just fast forward for a little bit oh my goodness there we go we've got 41,000 another year has passed we can clone these trains there we go haven't got enough hellish points but they're on the way and our city is now at 716 oh it's expanding nicely we've got some big buildings in there too okay we're doing all right now what we need to do is we need to make it to 1955 you might say hellish why are we trying to get to 1955 well the simple answer is is that that's when large airports come out and I want to use airports to help people get around the city a little bit and make even more money because even though our main objective is to get the city to grow getting the city to grow cost us money see I want to build Road there but we haven't got the cash of course we can just fast forward and watch how fast these vehicles go on this fast forward speed let's get the frame rate up here the end of the year pops up we're going at like a thousand times the speed there and you see the city is now at 1,300 population and we've got a lot of hellish points in the bank in in fact we've got enough hellish points to repay our loan that's nice and enough hellish points to build out some of the road continuing on the spiral there we go there we go fantastic so now we've got a steady source of income from our coal line and the city has been built out and designed to grow uh grow is now every 48 days and we've got 1 and 1 12,000 people some nice buildings coming out there so what we're going to do now is I'm going to fast forward and we're going to keep going until until maybe 1955 and we'll see how we're going because I think that's when I will next have to do something different I'm going to throw a couple of extra coal trains on there just in case y we're still not transporting all that coal and uh yeah let's see how we get on [Music] welcome to 1955 and our city has grown quite nicely we're already up to 36,000 in population and our town is growing every 4 days and our bank account is looking pretty nice too with 4 million hellish points in the account now this is the point where we now got to start using some of that money to get rid of the land that's in the way of our spiral but like I said earlier 1955 is a special year because that is when large airports become available so what we're going to do is we're going to put a couple of large airports in our city now you can see we're growing over here um we've got one spiral that's broken oh my goodness that's going to cost us that is going to cost us in a city growth there we're going to have to fix that oh my goodness I can't believe we got a broken bit of road that is an absolute not a disaster absolutely not a it it's it's only going to set us back slightly it is a small setback but I don't want setbacks okay never mind never mind we'll be all right so what we're going to do now is we're going to go to one side of the city over here turn on transparency and we're going to temporarily remove all the road pop in an airport right up to the city there uh yep that's good and we're going to get rid of some of these bits of Road here and we're going to give the uh the city some tunnels to be able to go under the airport so we're going to Road mode pop our tunnels in and connect them up there we go oh fantastic that's one airport now each City I believe can have up to two airports under normal game settings so let's just remove this road here pop ourselves in a second airport and again just deform the land to allow if I line that up correctly let's sort it out uh no not that there we go one two there we are get our Ro pieces in nice there we go uh we now have two airports which is really nice because now we can make even more money airplanes are relatively good way to make money uh especially over slightly longer distances but I didn't feel like laying train lines inside the city we could do boats but to be honest this is going to do us I think uh we're just going to choose a good good plane that one is reliability Is Not Great this one the reliability is better and it's got higher capacity so I'm going to use that one tell it to go between the two airports I'm not even going to set a full load out and I'm going to clone it so that we have 10 of them I think is 10 too many nah 10 will be fine oh off they go and there we are folks uh that's pretty much all the construction done the only construction remaining is to just continue out the spiral so that the city can continue to grow now it is important to remember that the only real requirements that you have for City growth are those original five stations that I talked about at the beginning of the episode so here we don't actually need the airports for City ground gr that's there just for money we don't need to deliver mail that's not a requirement and we don't have to deliver Goods anything that's not going to affect the growth rate either right let's get rid of this hill and probably get rid of all of the Hill we've got enough money and some of this River too it's all going to have to go because the important thing here is keeping the spiral now we need to make sure we don't make any more mistakes in our spiral because if I make mistakes that is where we're going to stunt Town growth a little bit oh there's a mistake it's relatively easy to see the mistakes here um maybe even easier to see mistakes in a spiral than a grid there we go fantastic okay so now let's just um do some super fast fast forwarding and see how well things go so I'm going to hold tab to fast forward I'm also going to hold the Dell key that removes all windows on your screens as long as they're not pinned so if you've got something up here and you hit Dell it will just disappear so if I hold those two buttons in theory it should get rid of like the end of the ear notifications and stuff and things like that let's watch the city grow so there we go city is now growing it is growing on both of the Spiral arms so there's two different arms in fact I think one arm might be catching up to the other arm which is interesting uh we've got plenty of uh room and spiral for the city to grow what should we go to it's 1961 now maybe we should stop soon because we're going to start running out of spiral by the looks of it going off the edge of the screen 1964 ooh yeah let's let's pause at 1965 10 years after our airports have been added our city is now up to 117,000 people and is growing once every 2 days how are our coal trains doing um they're doing okay our ratings over here is very poor 15% that is rubbish but what isn't rubbish is I bet we've got a good new train that's come out look at all these old trains they're all old and breaking down let's replace the vehicles we can switch this out with any of these uh I'm going to choose the yuu diesel I think it's not the fastest train but the reliability is a lot better than the next one I think so we'll do a replacement there and those trains will just go into the depot get replaced and I'm sure our ratings will go up here although we don't really need this line anymore this was just to get us started until the city was big enough to have the airports cuz if we look at our airplanes now uh they're making us a good few thousand um each year uh we can actually look at the the whole of the money situation we can see that last year aircraft aircraft netted us 78,000 which is nearly as much as our trains um and the aircraft might get a little bit more you see the uh the airports are now completely surrounded by houses which is fantastic and we've got more passengers and mail than we can ever possibly move with a throughput available okay so now we need to continue our expansion of the Spiral and uh with it be 1965 I'm starting to feel confident that we can break the existing records uh I think it's going to be something that's going to have oh we can have a new bus should we get a new bus I think we should probably upgrade the buses let's do that let's go to the passenger buses replace Vehicles oh uh it's not available to us yet okay fair enough I don't care about that then we've got four well nearly nearly 5 million in the bank account and that's good because this River needs to go this entire River Network kmo gone we spent a good few million doing that this one needs to go as well it's all in the way and in fact what we're going to do is we're just going to uh we'll we'll put some land up here there we are and then all we need to do is continue to grow the city let the city expand uh let the money roll in and as the money rolls in uh we can use that money to expand even more so more roads more expansion more blowing up of rivers uh more uh flattening of land and we just keep that going the tactic is now done we are we have put in all of our infrastructure all of our vehicles I don't really foresee much changes happening to that because this is all all I need this is the power that we need to grow the city five stations and a spiral remember you could probably do better than this by funding buildings and stuff so how much do you think you could do you can remember you download the scenario off the website uh let's just make sure we don't have any mistakes yep we're good there okay right let's fast forward to a little further in the future um once we've got closer to that 100-year Milestone okay we're drawing up to a bit of a milestone it is now the year 2000 we still have 30 years of the challenge left but let's see how things are getting along at this point with 8 million in the bank account and 16,000 Road pieces placed let's see how well the city is doing well that is just a screen of City isn't it look at that absolutely humongous I'm sure if I move around here quickly enough the bit rate of the video is just going to die to Pieces uh the middle of the city here's the very center you can see that we are so so close to that magic 1 million in population not 100,000 1 million uh towns growing every one I'm sure it's less than that I don't think the game displays it any less than that I'm not sure if our aircraft are actually making much money at the moment they're all old and broken um but what we can do is just nip in here and do replace vehicles and we've got so many cool aircraft to choose from now I think what we'll do is we'll sort by cargo capacity and just check the reliability uh yeah the Darwin 600 is all is the second highest in capacity and has a really good reliability although yeah that's what we'll do we'll change all them and we'll do the same with the uh the buses we'll just do a quick replace Vehicles we'll get the Foster bus because it's reliable it's faster is better why not and we'll do the same with the trains um now we don't have an electric oh I just sent them all to the depot didn't mean to do that let's do replace vehicles um our steam engine is long gone how have we got any decent diesel trains left the floss 47 is quite decent but really we need to upgrade to Electric so let's do that quickly so our entire network needs to upgrade to Electric so we go to electrified Railway construction the convert tool and we just drag across our entire train Network oh wait the game's paused let's drag across the network don't know how much that cost it was a tiny tiny dent in our bank account you can see down here here we've got electrified rails over the top of our track and stations now at both ends presumably the middle as well so now we can do that uh replace vehicles and we can replace for let's go for the sh40 it's the most reliable fastest single engined train there we go and as you can see I've been deleting some Rivers the rivers have been annihilated around here it cost a lot of money to do that and around here as well there's still a little bit of river over here but you know what that's not a problem too we can we can annihilate that there we go I'm doing it very lazily I could do it more accurately and it would cost a little bit less but the cost for deleting a piece of land is only 60 hellish points and a river is 7,500 so I just do it quickly there we are done uh all the river down up there's been sorted out now we we need to get rid of some of this land as well so I'm going to use the E key to oh look look this whole piece is disappearing now there we go really pushing this land back we're getting up to the edge of things here uh let's see can we get rid of all of this in one go yes we can afford to get rid of all of that can we get rid of all of this how much of this can we get rid of before we run out of money um pretty much all of it in fact there it is it's gone let let's get rid of the tip of this bit there we go we've got plenty of space now to that's right continue the spiral so I'm going to continue the spiral we're going to keep going for the next 30 Years and let's find out what our final score is with regards to how many people we've been able to cram into one city with one extremely long road this is not two roads this is two ends of one road so this is like the High Street this is Main Street and it's just one street I can't think of any city in the world that just com just consists of one big street but this one does okay let's find out what 30 years does to the [Music] city [Music] okay then we're coming up towards the end of our challenge it's December 2029 and uh yeah there is a a lot o of City here in fact we can just fill the screen full of City that's not even the F they're like we can do it closest soon still City still City well okay yeah we can see that the whole map with a furthest zoom in open TTD uh but we are now at 1.4 million in population I'm a little bit disappointed as we draw to the end of the year that I didn't get to 1 and a half million considering we were so close maybe if I hadn't made that mistake earlier on then we might might have been able to hit the 1 and a half million mark But there we go it's January the 1st 2030 100 years have passed in the game and we have let's just take stock of a few things here with eight trains five road vehicles and only three aircraft that's right my aircraft crashed a lot throughout the last few hundred years um we have managed to have a city of 1 million 467,000 so I would say not only is that challenge complete but also declaring myself the current leader now I remember potato said that spiff had around 140,000 when he had a go at this Challenge and uh potato did 295,000 in population so um we've we've definitely I think we've quadrupled that roughly quick maths uh the spiral is still going uh we've got some with trees some without trees we've actually managed to come out as far as some of the industries so we'd end up having to envelop the industries into the lands but um we have taken up a massive portion of this map with just City upon City upon City and of course all with just one road so there we go folks uh that is my attempt at the mega City growth challenge uh my version of it the helish city version now if you want to have a city challenge now you can do this one but also I mentioned that other thing that I was going to tell you at the end of the video in my open TTD series 10 we're doing a modded Furs challenge with a city growing script now it's a quad challenge there's four challenges but you could ignore the other three if you wanted to if you want to take on that City growing challenge you have to deliver resources from all the industries into the city to make it grow just having vehicles being trans or people being transported around won't do the job by themselves so you can go to my website master.net sls1 and that page has all the details about how you can take part in that challenge so I'll put the link to that and that Series in my description so there's two different challenges for you to take on there you can either take on this challenge or take on the extra challenge with the modded Industries and the city growing game script but that is going to be all from me for now now thank you very much for watching I hope you've enjoyed this video and I will see you soon take care [Music] goodbye
