Started playing TTD: don't know exactly, but it it was still in the nineties TTO

Joined #openttdcoop: autumn 2007, member since 25 April 2008 ("...change that patch setting yourself..." ;) )

Prefers: low to moderate terraform; fluent, well-designed networks and nice eye-candy

Dislikes: congestions. Permanent quick hacks and bypasses

Best at: don't know - probably ML mergers / load balancers or SLHs

Contributions & Patches

• working on the integration of the patch(es) for wwottdgd/2
• Restrict terraform to one tile only (patch option): one-tile-tf for r13397
• most voluminous patch ever probably (13 characters overall length: 8 'normal' chars, 3 tabs, 1 space, 1 line feed): 'b' now works for building aqueducts, too (trunk as of r13481). SmatZ' commit message probably took five times as long to write.
• Ctrl-click-delete-sign: original idea & patch by Osai, re-written to make it fit for trunk. In trunk as of r13501 thanks to SmatZ.

Personal wishlist & collection of ideas

• grf info for station tiles
• GUI for rcon
• improved quick goto (faster giving orders)
• more clients
• diagonal terraform
• infrastructure sharing
• programmable waypoints or signals
• airbrush like tree placement in the scenario editor
