SLC S27 Week3 - Let's Play OpenTTD:Ships

Hello friends 🌷

Hope everyone is well. I am also well by the infinite grace of Allah. Today I am going to participate in the OpenTTD game challenge organised by @sergeyk. Thank you so much @sergeyk sir for creating such a beautiful challenge.I liked this game so much after playing it that I ended up playing it again.

✏️Task 1

To complete the tasks, I first loaded the game I had successfully saved from the previous week.The time in the game is November 19, 2051, just before starting Task One of this week.And right now I have $200184 USD in my own funds.

Since the cities I worked with before were not located near any rivers, I chose two cities near rivers to work with.From here, I can transport passengers from one dock to another via ferry in a very convenient way.

	Build Waterway Infrastructure

I first clicked on the Build Waterway Infrastructure option to create the dock.I clicked on Options because all the options for creating a waterway are available by clicking on this button.This button is the sixth button from the right.

Build ship dock
Build ship dock

Then, to build a ship dock, go to the Build Waterway Infrastructure option and click on option number five from the left, the Build Docks option.It will function like a bus station or cargo station.When I first tried to place a dock, it wouldn't place and I got a message saying the location wasn't suitable.Then, after trying for a long time, I realized that I had to select two tiles, one of which would be on land and one would be in water.Then I found such a place and built a dock there.Similarly, I set up a dock in another city.

	Build Depot

Buy ship

Then I installed a depot near a dock.This will be very important in buying ships and establishing communication between the two cities.Then I will transport passengers between the two cities.Then I bought a passenger ship from Depot.It is much more expensive than other cars.

Setting route

After purchasing the ship, I created a transportation route for it. It will operate between Trainingway-on-Sea Dock and Aberhill Dock.

Finally, the route creation for this is complete.After the route is prepared for the ship, it will leave the depot and head first to Traningway-on-Sea Dock and then to AberHill Dock.

	30 passangers
	38 passengers

Then the ship I bought started transporting passengers between two docks.I observed that it was earning a better amount than a car or truck.Moreover, there are many passengers at each station.So passengers can travel between the two cities with waterways.

✏️Task 2

It was very difficult for me to find a resource that was located near a coastal area.I chose oil after a long search.I found many oil fields but couldn't find any oil refineries.Then, after a lot of searching, I found such an oil refinery.

Then I built a dock near the oil refinery.Then I added a truck station to it.And I added another truck station to the oil refinery.Then I connected the two transfer stations by road.The station connected to dock is Station_2.On the other hand, the station connected to the oil refinery is Station_3.

Then I installed a depot near the oil field.This will help us buy new ships.Then I bought an oil tanker ship from the depot.It will mainly transport oil from the oil field to Station_2.Then, after purchasing a new ship, I created a transportation route for it.When I create the route, I transport it to station_2. Because it will not be unloaded here but rather transferred.

Then I installed a depot near Station_3.After that, I bought a oil tanker truck from there.Then I created a transportation route for the track.It will be loaded from station_2 and completely unloaded at station_3.

The ship will then collect oil from the oil field and transport it to Station_3.And then the truck will come to station_3 and load them and take them to station_2 and unload them.Then profit will come from there.

✏️Task 3

Now I chose two different coastal cities.Then I built two docks between the two cities.

Next, I created a zigzag shape for the ship by building buoys.To build buoys, we need to go to the Build Waterway Infrastructure option.Then click on the Build Buoys option, which is the second option from the right.

Then I bought a passenger ship and selected an order for it.Since I was very large and had a Big Jack shape, I had to place several orders.I placed a total of 24 orders.I selected all the buoys and docked one at the beginning and another at the end.Despite the long and zigzagging road, the ship was able to navigate to its destination by using buoys.It wasn't even lost and arrived at its destination beautifully.

✏️Task 4

When I first built a passenger bus road in my city, I bought a very small number of buses.I saw many people waiting at the station today. So I thought I needed a few more buses.So I bought three more buses.And created their transport routes.Then when I went to a dock, I saw very few passengers waiting.So I thought one ship would be enough.So I didn't buy any more sheep.

Then I went to Station Three and saw a lot of oil waiting to be transported.So I thought I should get some more oil tankers so they can be transported faster.So I bought two more oil tankers here and formed their transport route.

Then I went to the oil field and saw a lot of oil still waiting to be transported. So I think we need a few more ships here.So I bought two more new oil tankers and selected their orders.Now they can be transported quickly.

	I've reached $500k+

	Company value
	Profit graph
	Cargo delivered graph

Finally I was able to earn 500k+.As you can see, my profits are slowly increasing with time.In fact, after adding many vehicles, my profit graph is gradually increasing.Also, my cargo delivered graph is increasing over time.

Company stations

Oil trucks

	Passenger buses

All ships

	Goods and livestock trucks

These are the vehicles in my game that transport various resources and passengers.

Vehicles profit	Ships profit

All things have value in their own right.Likewise, ships have their own value and vehicles have their own value.But if we think about efficiency and profit, I think vehicles are better and more important than ships.

We can see in the picture that vehicles make much more profit than ships.Moreover, they can transport many more messengers and goods than ships.So I think vehicles are more profitable and important than ships.

I would like to invite @dexsyluz, @m-fdo,@chant and @anisaadnin .
