35
smoke smoke internal name industry_smoke
SmokeTile coordinates of the tile producing the smoke numbers 0,0
SmokeOffset offset of the smoke according to the defined tile numbers 24,-24

x is the number of the good, it starts at 0, there can be as much as needed.
InputGood[x] supply good internal name Oel
InputCapacity[x] storage capacity for the good (units) number 1260
InputSupplier[x] number of supplying indsutries built (any existing industry can be supplier if this parameter is equal to 0) number 2

Parameters for production increase due to passenger, mail, and electricity supply (in version > 110.0.1)

Parameters Description Content Example
electricity_boost Increase of production in permill if electricity is supplied number default: 1000
electricity_amount Max electricity per production unit consumption number default: 65535
passenger_demand Demand on passengers per production unit and time number default: 65535
mail_demand Demand on mail per production unit and time number default: 65535
passenger_boost Increase of production in permill if passengers arrived number 0 ou 1
mail_boost Increase of production in permill if mail arrived number 0 ou 1

If passenger_demand/mail_demand parameters are not specified (or set to 65535) then passenger_demand = pax_level, mail_demand = pax_level / 4 is take

Location

It defines where the industry is built : in the sea (oil rig) or on the ground (raffinery) or near a town (service station).

Name Description
Land on the ground
Water in the sea
City near a town

smoke

Smokes of pak128

industry_smoke is used for industries.

good

Climates

Climates in Simutrans

Don't use a climate allows a building to be build everywhere. It's possible to use several climates by separating them with a comma, example :

climates=desert, temperate, tundra, rocky

Making a power plant

To make a power plant, add “kraftwerk” at the end of the factory's name. example : “Nuclearkraftwerk”.
