After that we decided to build 4-way hubs. Four seemed to be like just the number so we went for a relatively simple # shaped network. We also used full load orders at both end for secondaries, so secondaries were traded on each of the I or - lines, which made a great synergy with the # shape. Because of full load orders on both ends we of course needed to make a large buffer for pickup trains, resulting in large amount of platforms and overflows on all secondary pickups. We built not only 4 different 4-way hubs, but also a large variety of different one and two-sided sideline hubs, not to mention various stations. The game ended with about 1200 trains, LLL_RRR in most places and roughly 5 trains per second going through all the 4-way junctions. |20|Image:ProZone20.png| BBH02 represents a technique of utter chaos, which allowed it to be the smallest 4-way BBH in this game.}}

As Lev4 sets the network into completely different environment (because the trains accelerate so slowly in compare with their top speed) we had to make some special choices. Chronologically first of those was a convention of no tunnels/bridges on the ML to eliminate evil mode (because once Lev4 gets into evil mode, it might never solve itself). The other important way of playing was how to actually make the mergers. Many techniques we normally use just do not apply to Lev4 since they screw many things up. This also causes that Lev4 is less vulnerable to some bad things such as combo signal arrays leading to the same blocks. Therefore we used basically two kinds of merger - the 3->2 array propagated by V453000, and the all-choice merger propagated by XeryusTC. Both did their job, each in a bit different way. In the end our network counted 6L_6R at most and accomodated slightly over 1000 trains which is a nice result for a game with Lev4s. |19|Image:ProZone19.png|BBH 02 was a place where were used both kinds of the mergers we used.

Pro Zone Game 20
Game Date:  ??.8.12-1.9.12
Usual supects: V453000, mfb, LoPo, MrD2DG
Gametype: Cargo
Trainlength: TL3
Mapsize: 512 x 512 MARS
Version used: r24463
NewGRF Set: #openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks: First of all we decided to make a visit on Mars to see how it combines with NUTS. After that we decided to build 4-way hubs. Four seemed to be like just the number so we went for a relatively simple # shaped network. We also used full load orders at both end for secondaries, so secondaries were traded on each of the I or - lines, which made a great synergy with the # shape.

The game ended with about 1200 trains, LLL_RRR in most places and roughly 5 trains per second going through all the 4-way junctions.
Post-game Discussion: Game 20 Analysis
BBH02 represents a technique of utter chaos, which allowed it to be the smallest 4-way BBH in this game.

Pro Zone Game 16
Game Date: 28.2.11-3.5.11
Usual supects: V453000, mfb, intexon, Vinnie, Razaekel, Chris Booth
Gametype: PAX
Trainlength: TL5
Mapsize: 512 x 512 Temperate
Version used: r22375
NewGRF Set: #openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks: This was an attempt to make a cargo-styled passenger network which would perform better than cargo-only. Unfortunately the game did not get into advanced stages so it was "just" a nice game and the concept remains to be furtherly tested to prove its qualities. The original aim was to exchange industries for towns, thus being able to control the productions and possibly make them fluctuate less than with industries.

Pro Zone Game 15
Game Date: 10.11.2010 - 28.2.11
Usual supects: XeryusTC, uliko, theholyduck, V453000
Gametype: Cargo
Trainlength: TL4
Mapsize: 265 x 1024 Temperate
Version used: r22148
NewGRF Set: #openttdcoop-GRF Pack7.3
Remarks: With this game, chaos gametype was moved to the PZ and banned from the PS. ProZone game 15 is an example that chaos does fit here, when the messy PublicServer elements are cut off. Typically for chaos, this game started from a little ML and grew into a massive monster with multiple main lines added, accomodating about 1300 trains.

This once was tiny peaceful L_R. The current state is probably best decribed with "Entry/XeryusTC"

Remarks: This Pro Zone game is was a attempt to develop a Japanese style passenger network across several islands. We quite soon hit some problems with the amount of CPU power that the Japanese city set was using. this meant that we had to change the city set to total towns. we also changed the train set at this time to the DBXL set. we finnaly managed to grow the cities on each island so the map was almost completely covered by cities.With many interesting metro networks emerging.
