Welcome to the Quickstart for the Stable competition server.

Rules

• Keep it fair
  • Do not block other players
  • Do not intentionally sabotage
  • Respect general Multiplayer rules
  • When you are growing large towns, make sure most of the passengers are taken to inter-city transports. Otherwise the city is "just local" and only wastes cpu, without any use for your network.
• Keep the terraform to a minimum
  • See the Low TF page for examples
• Please, oh please, use the chat system! You can start a chat by pressing "Enter" and entering text
• Use decent nick, no vulgar/inappropriate nick names
  • You can change your nick via the console (press the key to the left of '1' to open it). Type: name <new-name>
  • You can also use the !name <newname> command
• Ask for an admin to mediate, if you have issues with another player
• Stealing & competition
  • Servicing the same secondary requires agreement of both players, although is not recommended.
  • Straight stealing of secondary products is prohibited. (if the "owner" of the industry agrees, it is no stealing and it is legal)
  • Servicing the same primary is allowed but it is preferred to ask rich companies to prospect primaries.
  • Ask others before entering the town they are already servicing.

Version

We use a stable or testing version, download it from openttd.org

  In addition to just connecting to the IRC channel, it would be wise to pay attention to the 'topic', as it is often updated with FAQ info about the current game on the Stable Server.
  The topic is usually shown in the main chat window upon channel joining, and at the top of the chat window in most GUI clients. (Webchat)
