Installation

New: Simutrans Web Installer.

The simplest way to download and install Simutrans is using the Simutrans Web Installer (also called soosw). All you need to do is visit:

http://setup.simutrans.com

There you can download a small package, and execute it according to the instructions it provides. This program will check the web for the most recent versions, and allow you to choose which components to install.

Note: This tool is still under development. Please report bugs and comments to it's developer.

Which version to use?

Visit the Announcements board on the official Simutrans Forum.

Screenshot showing board:

If you want to use the latest version, look voor the thread with the highest version number. If you want to play with the lastest stable version, look for the topic What version should I use?. l nearly certainly be near the top of the board. Enter the topic.

What to download?

Simutrans is split up into an executable file and various graphics sets. The most common ones are the 64-pak and the 128-pak. The different pak versions do not only differ in resolution, but also in graphics style and gameplay. The numbers 64 and 128 refer to the pixel width of a game tile. Other pak sets are usually not complete, and will require one of these two standard paks to work.

There is no installation required - simply download the executable and one or more pak sets the same folder. You will need at least one executable file, and at least one graphics set. If you have downloaded multiple paks (in particular, the 64-pak and 128-pak), please note that there are some duplicated files. Extract the one you're more interested last, and allow it to overwrite any files...

available files for version 88.00

So for version 88.00 you might for example want to download the Windows GDI executable simuwin-88-00.zip and the basic 64-pak set simupak64-88-00.zip.

Configure

Simutrans is highly configurable, from both external files, and internal options. You can find out more here: Configuration.

System Requirements

Simutrans is based on a game first produced in 1993, so the system requirements are very low. However, a faster machine can produce better results later in the game. The following are the recommended requirements.

Windows: Pentium and up should go. You can change some settings to make the game run more smoothly, if it feels too slow on your computer.

Linux: Probably about the same.

Wiki Syntax
Bold text __text__
Italic text 2 single quotes ('). ''text''
Underlined text ===text===
Colored text ~~#FFEE33:text~~ or ~~yellow:text~~. Will display using the indicated HTML color or color name. Color name can contain two colors separated by a comma. In this case, the first color would be the foreground and the second one the background.
Deleted text 2 dashes "-". --text--
Headings !heading1, !!heading2, !!!heading3
Show/Hide !+, !!- show/hide heading section. + (shown) or - (hidden) by default.
Autonumbered Headings !#, !!#, !+#, !-# ...
Table of contents {toc}, {maketoc} prints out a table of contents for the current page based on structures (toc) or ! headings (maketoc)
Horizontal rule ----
Text box ^Box content^
Centered text ::text::
Dynamic variables %Name% Inserts an editable variable
External links use square brackets for an external link: [URL], [URL\|link_description],[URL\|link_description\|relation] or [URL\|description\|relation\|nocache] (that last prevents the local Wiki from caching the linked page; relation can be used to insert rel attribute for the link - useful e.g. for shadowbox). For an external Wiki, use ExternalWikiName:PageName or ((External Wiki Name: Page Name))
Square Brackets Use [[foo] to show [foo].
Wiki References ((page)) or ((page\|description)) for wiki references , ((page\|#anchor)) or ((page\|#anchor\|desc)) for wiki heading/anchor references
Lists * for bullet lists, # for numbered lists, ;Word:definition for definiton lists
Indentation +, ++ Creates an indentation for each plus (useful in list to continue at the same level)
Tables \|\|row1-col1\|row1-col2\|row1-col3 row2-col1\|row2-col2\|row2-col3\|\|
Title bar -=Title=-
Monospace font -+Code sample+-
Line break %%% (very useful especially in tables)
Multi-page pages Use ...page... to separate pages
Non parsed sections ~np~ data ~/np~ Prevents wiki parsing of the enclosed data.
Preformated sections ~pp~ data ~/pp~ Displays preformated text/code; no Wiki processing is done inside these sections (as with np), and the spacing is fixed (no word wrapping is done). ~pre~ data ~/pre~ also displayes preformatted text with fixed spacing, but wiki processing still occurs on the text.
Comments ~tc~ Tiki Comment ~/tc~ makes a Tiki comment. It will be completely removed from the display, but saved in the file for future reference. ~hc~ HTML Comment ~/hc~ makes an HTML comment. It will be inserted as a comment in the output HTML; these are not normally displayed in browsers, but can be seen using "View Source" or similar.
Block Preformatting Indent text with any number of spaces to turn it into a monospaced block that still follows other Wiki formatting instructions. It will be indended with the same number of spaces that you used. Note that this mode does not preserve exact spacing and line breaks; use ~pp~...~/pp~ for that.
Direction {r2l}, {l2r}, {rm}, {lm}Insert resp. right-to-left and left-to-right text direction DIV (up to end of text) and markers for langages as arabic or hebrew.
Special characters ~hs~ hard space, ~c~ ©, ~amp~ &, ~lt~ <, ~gt~ >, ~ldq~ “, ~rdq~ ”, ~lsq~ ‘, ~rsq~ ’, ~--~ —, ~bs~ \, numeric between ~ for html numeric characters entity

Because the Wiki paragraph formatting feature is on, all groups of non-blank lines are collected into paragraphs. Lines can be of any length, and will be wrapped together with the next line. Paragraphs are separated by blank lines.

Plugins

Search Help

Default search behavior

By default, all search terms are optional.Objects that contain the terms are rated higher in the results. For example, wiki forum will find:

objects that include the term wiki
objects that include the term forum
objects that include both terms

Requiring terms

Add a plus sign ( + ) before a term to indicate that the term must appear in results.

Excluding terms

Add a minus sign ( - ) before a term to indicate that the term must not appear results.To reduce a term's value without completely excluding it, use a tilde.

Grouping terms

Use parenthesis ( ) to group terms into subexpressions.

Finding phrases

Use double quotes ( " ) around a phrase to find terms in the exact order, exactly as typed.

Using wildcards

Add an asterisk ( * ) after a term to find objects that include the root word. For example, run* will find:

objects that include the term run
objects that include the term runner
objects that include the term running

Reducing a term's value

Add a tilde ( ~ ) before a term to reduce its value indicate to the ranking of the results.Objects that contain the term will appear lower than other objects (unlike the minus signwhich will completely exclude a term).
