8/21/2023 0 Comments Idle oil tycoon settingsI have no direct proof that this is true (no game documentation) -just my hunch from observations and also trying to make sense of why game designers might make helicopters appear to be money losers (except for this possible hidden 'easter egg' effect on oil rig production?) The only sense I can make of it is that transporting passengers to oil rigs might increase the production of oil at oil rigs (think workers), and thus even though you lose $ with helicopter service at oil rigs, you gain it back (and maybe much more) with the increase in oil production at that oil rig. There seems to be no delay by the vehicle when it touches down other then the normal load up time -it's just a bonus that at same time as loading the vehicle also gets maintained without it having to move in and out of hanger, and which also happens at a oil rig, which doesn't have a hanger at all of course. I just dono't understand how the game / or vehicle settings (coding) is or can be designed to result in such high running costs, or whatever else might factor in, that results in helicopters always losing money (at least in my games).Īs far as the maintain at heliopad setting -that seems to be better on then off. I love them and by the time they become available I usually have plenty of $ to operate them at a loss. So it's not the overall need for $ profit that's motivating my post question here but only the perfectionist OTTD player in me desire to understand if or how helicopters can ever be run and make profits, not limited to, but in particular at oil rigs, and if any settings I might have on or off or set wrong could be effecting the $ performance of helicopters and airships. Let me clarify that I have no problem in general making money and supporting large numbers of helicopter type aircraft in game that are losing money. Thank you Zuu and Thphwp for your replies
