🌸 NAME 🌸

simutrans — transportation simulator, no cap

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

simutrans [options]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

This page is a lil quick-and-dirty rundown of the simutrans command. that's it, that's the assignment 💅

simutrans is a freeware transportation simulator that runs under Windows, Linux, and a few other operating systems — specifically Mac with Intel processors, and BEOS. yes, BEOS. iconic behavior, honestly 👑

You take on the role of operating a transportation company, and your whole goal is to get goods of various kinds, plus passengers and mail, from one place to the next. that's the vibe. move the stuff. move the people. deliver the mail. 🌈

not me about to tell you the most important thing: do not be fooled by the tile-based graphics, bestie 😭 this is a very complex game and it is constantly evolving, with new features being added. it is a living game, and it's consistently being made better and better. it's giving main character energy fr fr 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

This is a list of the most useful options. if you want the full list of all options, it's sitting in /usr/share/doc/simutrans/readme.txt.gz. go read it, i'll wait 🍓

  • -screensize WIDTHxHEIGHT — set screensize to WIDTHxHEIGHT. heads up tho: widths that aren't a multiple of 16 may cause problems 🙈 so like, be normal about it.
  • -fullscreen — run in full screen mode. immersive. cinematic. go big 🎀
  • -freeplay — run Simutrans in free playing mode (you cannot go bankrupt). no financial consequences, only vibes ✨
  • -nosound — turn sound off. silent mode, lowkey peaceful 🦋
  • -objects path — use an alternative PAK file set located in path. the path must end with a / — do not forget the slash, i'm begging 🫶
