So what you want to do is reroll your map (I like to turn tree generation. The game does a somewhat lackluster job of providing the tools you need to. Landscaping isn't that expensive so don't be afraid to edit the terrain to.

File Type 1Video Game Package

What is a PAK file?

A PAK file is an archive used by video games such as Quake, Hexen, Crysis, Far Cry, Half-Life, and Exient XGS Engine games. It may include graphics, objects, textures, sounds, and other game data 'packed' into a single file. PAK files are often just a renamed .ZIP file.

PAK files are primarily used by video games but may also be used by other applications such as the Google Chrome web browser. The format for a PAK file used by one game may differ from the PAK format used for a different game. Therefore, you may have to try multiple programs before opening your PAK file.

File Type 2PAK (Packed) File

.PAK File Association 2

Compressed archive format originating from DOS that can contain many files; data in a PAK file may be compressed or uncompressed, but is usually compressed using ZLIB compression.

File Type 3Simutrans Object File

.PAK File Association 3

File used by Simutrans, a free transportation simulation game; contains game object graphics and properties; compiled from a plain text '.dat' data file and a source .PNG image; used for game vehicles, buildings, terrain, and other objects.

To modify Simutrans objects, users typically don't edit the PAK files directly. Instead, they usually download the source DAT and PNG files used to package a PAK file, modify the files, and then re-pack the contents into a new PAK file. PAK files are built using the MakeObj.exe program.

File Type 4Skype Language Settings Package

.PAK File Association 4

A PAK file is a package used by Microsoft Skype, a popular online video and audio communication program. It contains user interface (UI) settings in a particular language, such as English, Spanish, and French, that are applied to the Skype UI based on the locale of the user. PAK files are only used by the Windows version of Microsoft Skype.

PAK files are referenced by Skype and are not meant to be manually opened. PAK files can be found in the following directory in Windows:

C:Program Files (x86)MicrosoftSkype for Desktoplocales

NOTE: Language settings are stored in .LPROJ files in macOS.

Simutrans is a cross-platformsimulation game in which the player strives to run a successful transport system by constructing and managing transportation systems for passengers, mail and goods by land (rail, road, tram, monorail, maglev), air (airplanes) and water (ship) between places. Like OpenTTD, Simutrans is an open-source transportation game based on the Transport Tycoon idea.^[1]

Development history[edit]

Simutrans was originally written by Hansjörg Malthaner in 1997.^[2] Around 2004 he retired from development,^[3] and an international community of volunteers took over the development.^[4]Simutrans was developed internally as a closed source game until 2007,^[5] when the software was relicensed under the Artistic License.^[5]

Simutrans is ported to Microsoft Windows, Linux, BeOS/Haiku, Mac OS X and AmigaOS 4.x which make use of several graphics libraries such as GDI (Windows only), SDL (all versions) or Allegro (BeOS only). It is portable to any architecture using GCC and one of the aforementioned libraries. Simutrans has also multilingual support.

Currently the stable release of Simutrans is version 120.2.2 as of April 1, 2017.^[6] There is a popular branch of the code called Simutrans-Extended, which aims to extend the basic game.^[7] Simutrans-Extended was formerly called Simutrans-Experimental, but changed its name to Simutrans-Extended on February 13, 2017 to make clear that it is a distinct fork of Simutrans and not a testing branch.^[8]Nightly builds for Simutrans and the main PakSets are also released for both standard^[9] and Extended^[10] versions.

Overview and features[edit]

The main goal in SimutransAz yet back home 2007. is to provide an efficient transport system for passengers, mail and goods to be transported to their desired destinations fast and with minimal transfers and at the same time making the company grow avoiding bankruptcy or administration.

Simutrans has a number of factory chains that are interconnected with other chains, for example, a coal mine produces coal for a coal power plant, and an oil rig produces oil for an oil power plant. The goods produced by these factories may be distributed to smaller factories or shops, such as gasoline to a gas station, coming from a gas storage facility, which retrieves the gas from an oil refinery, and so on.

Supplying a factory with electric power will increase the production and allows for fine-tuning the economy. Passengers and mail are transported between different cities and tourist attractions, and may use several methods of transportation to reach their destinations.

The Simutrans executable can run many different paksets, which is a package containing files called paks. Paks are files with graphic and data files that Simutrans uses to determine the objects in the game, it determines things like their resolution, appearance and behaviors. Gaming experience is therefore very dependent on the PakSet used.

Simutrans currently features 12 AI players, and has an online capability similar to OpenTTD since version 110.0. The terrain in Simutrans is freely-modifiable, and different layers like tunnels and bridges can be stacked, allowing for subways or highways to be possible. It has a day and night cycle, different climates and seasons. Nearly all modes of transportation exist in Simutrans. At least buses/trucks, trains, and ships are always provided. If defined in the PakSet, aircraft, monorails and/or maglevs can also be used.

Customization[edit]

The Simutrans executable must load a PakSet which contains the game's objects. Over the years several PakSets have been created, an overview is given on the official page.^[11]

Simutrans can easily be expanded or modified. Simple modification can be done via editing the personal config file. Since the objects in the game just consist of a simple image and a short description file, it is very easy to create a house or add a train. Thus many contributed objects for all graphic sizes exist. The user can also add height maps and citylists which add city names into the game. Even deep modifications of the game mechanics are possible via the config file, like a setting to prevent stockpiling at factories or changing the economic model simulation.^[12]

Critical reception[edit]

GameDaily's Big Download considered Simutrans to be one of the best freeware games, highlighting the logical system of routing passengers and freight to their destinations, decent AI opponents and the support for custom aesthetics or rules-sets. However, the sometimes unreliable vehicle pathfinding was criticized, particularly with respect to alternate routes and switches for train lines. The sound effects were deemed to be unengaging, and new players may be baffled by the range of transportation possibilities.^[1]

Another review from Amiga Future came to very similar conclusions (apart from the lack of sound support on Amiga OS). In particular the depth of simulation and the stability were highlighted.^[13]

Between 2007 and June 2017 Simutrans was downloaded from Sourceforge over 5.6 million times.^[14]
