Goals of the Game
Simutrans is a transport and economic simulation which contains some ecological aspects as well. The goal of the game is to build an infrastructure which allows to transport goods between the various industries and towns. Passengers need transport to and from work, between cities, and to tourists attractions. Raw materials need to be transported to factories, where they can be refined and later delivered to the consumers in the city.
A second goal is to become as rich as possible, but you'll have to reinvest a good amount of your earned cash to expand your infrastructural network. You need to keep your bank balance in the positive, or you won't be in business for long. Your competitors won't sleep!
Initially, when the simulation starts, there are only few cities and industries on the map with no infrastructure between them. Now it's on you and your competitors to build roads and railroads, and deliver goods and drive passengers where they need to go.

|---|
~~#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. |
!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) |
%Name% Inserts an editable variable |
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]. |
((page)) or ((page|description)) for wiki references , ((page|#anchor)) or ((page|#anchor|desc)) for wiki heading/anchor references |
* 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) |
||row1-col1|row1-col2|row1-col3 row2-col1|row2-col2|row2-col3|| |
| 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
Note that plugin arguments can be enclosed with double quotes ("); this allows them to contain , or = or >.

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).
Changing relevance value
Add a less than ( < ) or greater than ( > ) sign before a term to change the term's contribution to the overall relevance value assigned to a row.
