Props, Vars and CBs

This page contains information on industry properties, variables and callbacks. Industry tiles are closely related.

Industry ID allocation

Industry IDs are local to the NewGRF, you are free to choose any ID in the 0..127-range. You should start your item definition with the 'substitute'-property, which allocates a new industry. The value of this property should be the ID of a default industry, which will be used instead of your item if it is not available for whatever reason (for example, missing NewGRF).

Furthermore, you can set the 'override'-property, which will cause the existing industry to be replaced with your item. You should use this if you are for example defining a coal mine which changes production more dynamically. If your type is not a direct replacement of an existing item, don't set this property.

Industry properties

Industry properties. Default industry type numbers can be found at default industries.

property value range comment
substitute industry type Number of the original industry type that replaces this one, should it not be available for some reason (e.g. missing NewGRF). This property must be set first, before any other properties or graphics. All properties of the old type are copied to your new industry.
override industry type Number of the original industry type overridden. This will cause other grfs / industries to consider your industry type the same as the old type. Only set this property if your type is (more or less) the same as the old type.

To follow the "<Town Name> <Industry Name>" convention, the string should include a "{STRING}" at the position the town name shall be inserted. For example: 

STR_HARBOR_NEARBY_NAME   :{STRING} water side

Cargo types array

The cargo_types property takes an array of accept_cargo and produce_cargo expressions. This array is used to define which cargo types the industry accepts, which it produces, and how much cargo is produced on production ticks and on delivery. All cargo types the industry handles must be mentioned in its cargo_types property even when they are handled by production callbacks.

The following is an example of a cargo_types property: 

cargo_types: [
  produce_cargo("GOOD", 4),
  accept_cargo("PASS"),
  produce_cargo("PASS", 0),
  accept_cargo("IORE", produce_cargo("STEL", 1), produce_cargo("SLAG", 0.25))
]

The above example has four items in its cargo_types array, two produce_cargo expressions and two accept_cargo expressions.

  1. produce_cargo("GOOD", 4) specifies the industry produces GOOD at a rate of 4 every production tick (256 game ticks), this production rate is scaled by the industry's production level.
  2. accept_cargo("PASS") specifies the industry accepts PASS as a "black hole", that is no cargo is produced when PASS is delivered. If you have a production callback that consumes a cargo you will also need to specify that cargo in this way.
  3. produce_cargo("PASS", 0) specifies the industry produces PASS but not on the production ticks as usual. Specifying a production rate of zero is only useful for cargo types you produce via a production callback.
  4. accept_cargo("IORE", produce_cargo(...), ...) specifies the industry produces the listed cargo types every time IORE is delivered. In the example above, delivering one IORE will result in one STEL produced and no SLAG produced (because 1*0.25 is zero after rounding down), and delivering 4 IORE will result in 4 STEL and 1 SLAG produced.

At most 16 different cargo labels may appear in accept_cargo and at most 16 different cargo labels in produce_cargo, for a single industry. The same cargo label can be used in as many accept_cargo or produce_cargo as necessary.

More complex production rules can be set up via the production callbacks, see callbacks below.

Industry special flags

flag meaning
IND_FLAG_PLANT_FIELDS_PERIODICALLY The industry periodically plants fields around itself (temperate and arctic farms)
IND_FLAG_CUT_TREES The industry cuts trees around itself and produces its first output cargo from them (lumber mill)
IND_FLAG_BUILT_ON_WATER The industry is built on water (oil rig)

IND_FLAG_ONLY_IN_TOWNS The industry can only be built in towns (i.e. it has to replace houses) (arctic and tropic banks, water tower)
IND_FLAG_BUILT_NEAR_TOWN The industry is always built near towns (i.e. near town sign; additionally the industry is allowed to replace houses) (toy shop)
IND_FLAG_PLANT_FIELDS_WHEN_BUILT Fields are planted around the industry when it's built (all farms)
IND_FLAG_NO_PRODUCTION_INCREASE The industry cannot increase its production on the temperate climate (oil wells)
IND_FLAG_BUILT_ONLY_BEFORE_1950 The industry is built only before 1950 (oil wells)
IND_FLAG_BUILT_ONLY_AFTER_1960 The industry is built only after 1960 (oil rig)
IND_FLAG_AI_CREATES_AIR_AND_SHIP_ROUTES AI players will attempt to establish air and ship routes going to this industry (oil rig)
IND_FLAG_MILITARY_AIRPLANE_CAN_EXPLODE The industry can be exploded by a military airplane (oil refinery)
IND_FLAG_MILITARY_HELICOPTER_CAN_EXPLODE The industry can be exploded by a military helicopter (factory)
IND_FLAG_CAN_CAUSE_SUBSIDENCE The industry can cause a subsidence (coal mine)
IND_FLAG_AUTOMATIC_PRODUCTION_MULTIPLIER Automatic production multiplier handing (No industry has this bit set by default.).
IND_FLAG_RANDOM_BITS_IN_PRODUCTION_CALLBACK The production callback needs random bits in var. 10 (No industry has this bit set by default.)
IND_FLAG_DO_NOT_FORCE_INSTANCE_AT_MAP_GENERATION Do not force one instance of this type to appear during initial map generation (No industry has this bit set by default.)
IND_FLAG_ALLOW_CLOSING_LAST_INSTANCE Allow closing down the last instance of this type (No industry has this bit set by default.)
IND_FLAG_LONG_CARGO_TYPE_LISTS New format for callbacks callbacks cargo_subtype_display, cargo_input, cargo_output to support more input/output cargos. See the callbacks for details.
IND_FLAG_DO_NOT_CLAMP_PASSENGER_PRODUCTION NML 0.7 Supported by OpenTTD 1.111.11 By default OpenTTD's smooth economy clamps the production of passenger (like for oil rigs). This flag disables the clamping.

Variables that require some parameters.

name arguments comment
industry_count industry_type, grfid = -1

The value of this variable is the number of industries of a given type that are currently on the map. industry_type is either the ID of an industry. GRFid is the grf in which the industry was defined. The default value is -1, which means current newgrf. A grfid of 0 lets you check the number of default industries of a given type. Use the builtin function str2number() to convert a grfid to its numeric representation.
Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage register 0x100

industry_distance industry_type, grfid = -1 The value of this variable is the manhattan distance the closest instance of the given industry or 0xFFFF if not applicable. See industry_count for a description of the parameters.
Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage register 0x100.
industry_layout_count / industry_layout_distance industry_type, layout, grfid = -1. See industry_count / industry_distance for description of industry_type, grfid and return value. The results are filtered to industries that have the given layout number.
Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage registers 0x100 and 0x101.
industry_town_count industry_type, grfid = -1. See industry_count / industry_distance for description of industry_type, grfid and return value. The results are filtered to industries that have the same town than the current industry.
Warning: using this variable trashes the contents of temporary storage registers 0x100 and 0x101.
town_manhattan_dist x, y Parameters indicate a signed offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the Manhattan distance (dx + dy) from the selected tile to the closest town
town_euclidean_dist x, y Parameters indicate a signed offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the squared Eucleidean distance (dx^2 + dy^2) from the selected tile to the closest town.
town_zone x, y

Parameters indicate a signed offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the town zone that the selected tile is in.

nearby_tile_random_bits x, y Parameters indicate an unsigned offset relative to the northern tile. Returns the random bits of the selected industry tile, or 0 if it is not an industry tile that's part of this industry.
incoming_cargo_waiting cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 If any of the production callbacks is enabled, this variable will contain the amount of the cargo type waiting to be processed. Returns 0..65535. Example: incoming_cargo_waiting("FOOD").
produced_cargo_waiting cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, the amount of produced cargo that this waiting to be transported. Returns 0..65535. Example: produced_cargo_waiting("GOOD").
this_month_production cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, amount of cargo that was produced this month. Returns 0..65535. Example: this_month_production("COAL").
last_month_production cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, amount of cargo that was produced last month. Returns 0..65535. Example: last_month_production("WOOD").
this_month_transported cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, amount of produced cargo that was transported this month. Returns 0..65535. Example: this_month_transported("IORE").
last_month_transported cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, amount of produced cargo that was transported last month. Returns 0..65535. Example: last_month_transported("PAPR").
transported_last_month_pct cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, percentage of produced cargo that was transported last month. Returns 0..100. Example: transported_last_month_pct("BATT").
production_rate cargo label from the cargotable NML 0.5 For the given cargo label, amount of output cargo that is produced every 256 ticks. Initial value from the cargo_types property, but it will change accordingly when the production level changes. Returns 0..255. Example: production_rate("SUGR").

Industry callbacks

callback return value comment
default varies Any unhandled callbacks. Generally this doesn't need to be used, except for old-style callbacks.
produce_cargo_arrival Produce-block Called to produce cargo when it arrives.
produce_256_ticks Produce-block Called to produce cargo every 256 ticks.
availability CB_RESULT_IND_ALLOW or CB_RESULT_IND_DISALLOW

NML 0.2 Only available in NML 0.2 or earlier. Called when the game needs to know if the industry type is available. It is limited to the type as a whole, so you can't access industry-specific variables. extra_callback_info2 contains the creation type.

construction_probability CB_RESULT_IND_NO_CONSTRUCTION, CB_RESULT_IND_PROBABILITY_FROM_PROPERTY or a relative probability 0..255

NML 0.3. Called when the game needs to know if the industry type is available. It is limited to the type as a whole, so you can't access industry-specific variables.

If you return CB_RESULT_IND_NO_CONSTRUCTION or 0 the industry won't be build. If you return CB_RESULT_IND_PROBABILITY_FROM_PROPERTY it'll be build according to the relative probability as defined in the prob_random or prob_in_game properties, otherwise it'll use the value as returned as relative probability.

location_check

See the table below.

Called to check if a location is suitable.

Since the industry isn't built yet, industry variables aren't available. If this callback is not implemented or fails, constructing the industry will be allowed. Construction might also be prevented via the tile_check industry tile callback, though.

monthly_prod_change

See below

Called each month to (possibly) change the industry production.
  • extra_callback_info2: 32 random bits.
random_prod_change

See below

Works exactly the same as monthly_prod_change, except that it's only called when TTD selects this industry for a random production change.
build_prod_change Value in range 4-128 Supported by OpenTTD 1.3 (r24186)1.3 Called when an industry is constructed. Return value is production level (default 16). Can also be used to initialise permanent storage when an industry is constructed.
cargo_subtype_display String, CB_RESULT_NO_TEXT or CB_RESULT_IND_NO_TEXT_NO_AMOUNT This callback allows displaying some text after a cargo name. Returning
  • CB_RESULT_NO_TEXT displays only waiting amount of cargo,
  • CB_RESULT_IND_NO_TEXT_NO_AMOUNT displays only the cargotype.

Note: To remove cargo waiting text, return 0x3800 + string(STR_EMPTY) where STR_EMPTY is an empty string in your lang file.

If IND_FLAG_LONG_CARGO_TYPE_LISTS is not set:

  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 0, 8): 0 .. 2 to get texts for the first .. third accepted cargo type, and 3 .. 4 for the first ... second produced cargo type.
  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 8, 8): 0 when getting a string for the buy menu (no industry variables available!), 1 when for the industry window and 2 for the industry directory window.

If IND_FLAG_LONG_CARGO_TYPE_LISTS is set:

  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 0, 8): 0 for output cargos, 1 for input cargos.
  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 8, 8): 0 when getting a string for the buy menu (no industry variables available!), 1 when for the industry window and 2 for the industry directory window.
  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 16, 8): Cargo type.
extra_text_industry String Show extra text in the industry window.
extra_text_fund String Show extra text in the fund window. Since the industry isn't built, no industry variables are available.
control_special 0 or 1 Called to control various effects from the spec_flags property. Currently only works for the first two (plant fields / cut trees). Return 1 to execute the action or 0 to not do so.
  • extra_callback_info1: 32 random bits.
  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 0, 8): Queried effect.

The default (if the flag is enabled, of course) is to plant fields with 1/8th chance every 256 ticks, and to cut trees every 512 ticks.

stop_accept_cargo 0 or 1 With this callback, you can temporarily refuse accepting a certain cargo, for example because the stockpile is full. Return 1 to accept or 0 to refuse. Make sure to synchronize this callback with the cargo_amount_accept callback for industry tiles.
  • getbits(extra_callback_info2, 0, 8) The cargo type to accept or not.
colour COLOUR_XXX Called after constructing the industry. The colour variable is set to a random value at this point, you can use this callback to change this.
cargo_input Cargo type, or 0xFF Decide the input cargo types, called when the industry is built. Called repeatedly until 0xFF is returned, although currently not more than three times. Do not rely on this limitation, though.
  • getbits(extra_callback_info1, 0, 8): Starts at 0 and is incremented for every iteration.

Return a cargo type (from the table) or 0xFF to stop.

cargo_output Cargo type, or 0xFF Same as cargo_input above, except that it is applied to the output cargo types and currently not called more than twice.

Location check results

The following values can be used as return values for the location_check callback for industries and the tile_check callback for industry tiles and objects.

return value meaning
string(..) Item can't be built, show the string as error message.
CB_RESULT_LOCATION_ALLOW Item can be built.
CB_RESULT_LOCATION_DISALLOW Item can't be built, display the default error message. This is "site unsuitable" for industries and industry tiles, and "land sloped in wrong direction" for objects.
CB_RESULT_LOCATION_DISALLOW_ONLY_RAINFOREST Item can't be built, display the "...can only be built in rainforest areas" error message.
CB_RESULT_LOCATION_DISALLOW_ONLY_DESERT Item can't be built, display the "...can only be built in desert areas" error message.
CB_RESULT_LOCATION_DISALLOW_ONLY_ABOVE_SNOWLINE Item can't be built, display the "...can only be built above the snow-line" error message.
CB_RESULT_LOCATION_DISALLOW_ONLY_BELOW_SNOWLINE Item can't be built, display the "...can only be built below the snow-line" error message.

Setting bit 7 of the result disables the associated news message.
Setting bit 8 replaces the news message with a custom message, read from register 0x100 bits 0 .. 15.

You can set specific bits in the return value by using a bitmask: 

switch(FEAT_INDUSTRIES, SELF, upscale_production, [
    STORE_TEMP(STR_NEWS_INDUSTRY_PRODUCTION_INCREASE_CUSTOM, 0x100)
]) {
    return CB_RESULT_IND_PROD_DOUBLE | bitmask(8);
}
