Very Short Simutrans How-To
(content identical with .pdf version)

Please read this one page. It takes you just few minutes. Answering email questions from you takes us time we can use to improve game. Please save us from unimportant emails in your own interest

How do I:
	Turn the trees off? Press 
	Make buildings transparent (hidden)? Press 
	Turn on/off map grid? Press #
	Build one way track? Select signal tool, multiply click on one place.
	Build one way road? It cannot be done.
	Build airport? Air service is not supported yet.
	Speed the turtle game up? Use keys , and . - modify T value. (Be very careful, if you speed up the game too much it will start omitting important tasks to keep the pace. 1,5GHz machines usually should not go over T=5 on normal maps. To see if speed is ok: options -> display, if loops are above 20 and idle below 20s for longer time, it is bad, slow down!)

How do I become millionaire?
	Do not start big! Be careful and design system you can afford from starting money.
	Trains are intended to be long. 2-3 wagon train is usually lossy - except for passenger units.
	Press G (shift+g) and look at speed bonuses, goods with low bonus should go slowly (cheaper), while goods with high bonus will pay much more for fast service.
	Most raw materials do not pay very well. Wood, stone, iron ore or grain are not good stand alone money makers. You need to service whole industry tree to make profit on higher level goods which pays much better. (look at income graph)
	Exception in raw materials is oil. So for start, set up oil service. If you will be able to use train to carry gasoline on its way back to nearby gas station it will best.
	Combine! Simutrans is about it. Make use of fact that goods can switch vehicles on its route to destination and you get paid for each hop. Good idea is to set high capacity train line and use trucks to collect materials from larger area to keep trains busy.
	Best paying goods among all are passengers. But it is difficult to setup network big enough to attract enough of them. Only very experienced players should try to start just with passengers, most players will rather setup profiting goods service and use income to expend passenger transport.
	Number of passengers willing to use your service increases as you cover more destinations.
