First, we will start building a simple station. Before we start we want to make clear that our construction style is expandable in the future. Therefore, we construct huge mainlines and connect sidelines to this mainlines. Stations are ALWAYS connected to sidelines.

In this part we build the first junction (in #openttdcoop we always call it "hub"). Since we always build multi-track-junctions, a junction is a bit more complicated than it seems on the first look. Since we want to build efficient and fast railways we need efficient and fast junctions as well. For the start we will analyse a so-called "Side Line Hub" (or "SLH" for short).

The guides section shall give you an overview about the way of gaming in #openttdcoop games. We hope to have answers to most of your questions.

The #openttdcoop Glossary

If you are new to #openttdcoop (or an old member and having a bad memory) you should look at the #openttdcoop Glossary to have a look at the expressions we created during our careers.

An illustrated guide to proper building

To help our new members and for reference, we have written a number of guides that will help you to understand how our games work. It is recommended that you read them in the order listed below.

A Presignal Guide

A guide for newbies, about presignals. But not only for beginners, there is a lot complex things to do with presignals. If you know how the presignals works, you should skip the "basics" Part.


Altering the world around you

If you want to cooperate in a efficient way you have to formulate some very basic rules. These rules are concerning both building styles and communication issues. They are neither very strict, nor associated with consequences; so do not fear them, just follow them as our very basic guidelines.

Tutorial Savegame

A very good point for Beginners to start at. Shows some main ideas which help building an efficient network.

Moneymaker

An explanation of what a moneymaker is, its purpose and how to build one.

Planning

An illustrated guide describing goals and key elements of planing stage of coop-game.

Guides Overview

A list of all the Guides included in our Guide Category.

A very short Guide to Cooperation
