Beach as Industry: Quast65's beach object tiles, coded as an industry for passenger production. For OpenTTD.

Beaches as Industry

Beaches which produce and accept passengers. These are adapted from Quast65's beach object tiles, which are highly recommended in addition to this set for decoration.

Generation and funding

• Beaches come in four slope directions, in three variants each measuring either 1x2 or 1x3 tiles.
• During map generation, beaches will only be created within 12 tiles of a town.
• There is a NewGRF parameter to set how many beaches are generated (Few or Many).
• The player can fund these industries anywhere for about the cost of a hotel in FIRS.

Cargo

• The beaches produce and accept passengers in the same quantity as a FIRS hotel.
• When FIRS is enabled, the beach also accepts sand (for beach renewal, although this isn't modeled)

beach_ind's Issues

Todo: Upgrade make script

Add parameter to allow new beaches spawning during gameplay

Industry probability is too high

The probability of generating a beach is extremely high: 200 out of a possible 255. When used with other industry sets, such as ITI, users report having too many Beaches.

Suggested fix:

• Consult probabilities of other popular industry sets
  • Vanilla industries
  • OpenGFX+ Industries
  • FIRS
• Adjust Beach probability to be more in line with these industry sets
• Test with various industry sets
• Adjust ITI probabilities to match if required (ITI is incompatible with other comprehensive sets and doesn't need to play nice with them, just add-ons like Beaches)

Clean up repository and build process

• Reorganize folder structure to match recent projects like ITI
• Upgrade code and NMLC files to NML 0.5
• Create MAKEFILE
