Pretty much the same for all servers. May vary a little bit but that's almost impossible to notice.
Somewhere between 13 and 14 minutes.
What do you even mean by "reset"? There is no way to reset quests if that's what you're talking about but I don't rly see any reason why would you want to reset quests when you barely completed any.
And, well, you can always register a new account though I don't see any reason to do so.
P.S. You're a first person to reply automated email btw, I was surprised we even get emails from noreply@ address xD
Don't panic, it's not dying. In fact the very reason nothing's working atm is that some big updates are coming.
And gold income quest counts all income over the lifetime of your company.
!trainbus (and quest) only counts buses, not trucks. It also shows minimum between amount of trains and buses so I assume you have 0 buses.
Hello!
Do you still have this issue? I've been checking since your post and never saw anything like that, map load is always pretty much instantaneous for me. Please make sure it's not an issue with your ISP. Also if it happens again, please attach traceroute output, that may help investigating it.
Fixed, thank you!
Hello! No, there is no offline client anymore, but you can get Simple CB gamescript which is somewhat similar to our classic CB servers.
Hello! It's not an error, you can build water supply in temperate if you raise land to lvl 15.
Hello!
You get EXP for completing quests, goals, or getting a decent score on a timed server (like blitz cb or 3h cb).
Probably the easiest way to get it is to complete small goals like 5/10/30k cb or 15 mil. Like you get about 8 exp each time you do 5k town. You get more exp for larger goals, but you need to make sure to complete them, doing 900mil out of 1bil still gives you nothing.
There is also relative exp that you get for improving your scores, you need to score more than once on same game mode to get it.
It's a patch for OpenTTD, you need to download CityMania client to use it (or any other patchpack that has it).
Ah, who cares, stupid IRC :/
But thanks for reporting.
What do you mean? It will be complete as long as you have at least 33000 crates of goods on your station at the time of check.
Server does periodic checks for quests completion rather than detecting it immediately. So it takes a bit of luck to get it to 33k right when server does the check.
Food acceptance comes from small houses, simple ones give 1/8 (you can see it with tile info tool) so you need 8 of them. And ones with fences give 2/8, so even less of those. From what I can see on screenshot you only have 6 small houses, so you're 2 away from getting the acceptance. And you seem to have total of 9 houses which is even less than 10 you're allowed to claim. So dunno what happened there but usually it's very easy to get about 15 houses with a bit of funding before it starts really requiring food and that should be plenty for food acceptance.
It's technically possible to give food acceptance to water tower with newgrfs, but it's probably not going to happen on classic servers as those are kept with pretty much same settings as they were on Luukland.
Hey man! Going hardcore on chill reddit servers huh? ;) Anyway, nice to see you still playing.
Btw, have you seen Mashinky? It's a new trains game releasing on 6 Oct. Looks quite promising even though base mechanics are still kind of crap imo. I was thinking of mb doing some streams to check it out and discuss a possibility of hosting it servers on CityMania.
I know it's a quite confusing but that initial food requirement is a part of base game, not our server mod so it's hard to do anything about it.
But there are a some ways to deal with it so it's not that big of an issue actually. First of all, if you fund buildings in your town can still grow without food up to some point. Also small towns (<60 pop) don't require food at all.
As for station coverage you can use spreading (aka distant joins, hold ctrl while placing stations) so you can easily cover your entire town without destroying anything. And you can place your HQ in other town temporarily, destroy some buildings and claim the town you want.
P.S. Your screenshot is way too small to see anything on it.

I just don't understand why this text was added on the BTPro post:
We have differen rules than BTPro servers, but ours are more permissive so you'll be fine if you just follow BTPro ones. Though you might want to learn some nifty tricks that aren't allowed on BTPro ;)
It was added to let BTPro players know that our rules are compatible enough that they don't have to spend time learning them if they just want to drop in and have some fun. But if they're dead serious on winning this tournament there will be some advantage to understanding the differences between the rules and using tricks our rules allow.
And if you didn't notice I specificaly modified the announcement to focus on our advantages and refrain from anything that might be veiwed as me stating that BTPro is some way inferior, be it gameplay or rules. Every rule has advantages and disadvantages to having it and the're is'n any "right" or "wrong" choice here. In fact different rulesets reflect different philosophies of our communities and serve to shape up a different gameplay. All of that is trully wonderful since allows more variety for players, there woulnd't be much sense in keeping having different communities if they were exactly the same.
So, in case of spreading, yes, we won't be having super-long trains any time soon, but in turn we keep players from getting in a situations where they can by accident or temptation break that super-complex spreading rule. And some of such cases are nearly imposible for moderators to notice thus calling in question validity of the highscores.

So, yeah, won't play anything "to learn some nifty tricks that aren't allowed on BTPro" ^^
It's rules that separate tricks from cheats so you need to be perfectly aware of all the nuances in the rules to be able to push the limits of your gameplay and devise new tricks and tactics. And knowing only one side of the picture isn't enough, you also need to learn what exactly isn't allowed to avoid using it. Or, alternatively, propose a change in rules. Our community has enough examples when rules were changed to accommodate new cool tricks invented by players.
