The most active unofficial successor to r/OpenTTD!

...which is admittedly not saying much. We do require you to speak english when posting though but only for practicality, as long as you explain in english as well, you may post in any language you wish! It's just going to be easier for everyone that way. See also the german OpenTTD fediverse community for potential threads in german.

Please do not ask where to get NewGRFs, they are easily obtainable via the in-game content downloader (a.k.a "BaNaNaS" or "the fruit store") or TT-Forums and certain authors have expressed they will not allow downloads of graphics that they no longer provide support for by penalty of copyright law. The other side of the coin is otherwise explained in our "rules" thread. Please read the rules thread before posting or do not post.

Ho, ho, ho, Santa is in town. And he’s brought a gift with him.

Here’s a shiny new package for you to unwrap, containing the first beta version of the upcoming OpenTTD 15 release.

It comes faster, with road waypoints, fewer passwords, better scenario editor, and hopefully with a lot less bugs. To be a bit less vague, here are some of the highlights:

  • Improved picker windows for stations/waypoints/objects/and more. Oh, and that does include road waypoints.
  • Better perfomance in various places, including faster path signals that are now green by default.
  • Password-less network authentication using keys.
  • Several improvements for NewGRFs regarding cargo support.
  • Better scenario editor with a town data importer and manual house placement.
  • A large tree fully hung with ornamental bugfixes.
  • Sadly though, not everbody was good this year. The old NPF pathfinder was finally retired, after YAPF being the superior default for many, many years now.

There’s a lot of bugs left for you to find, though, guaranteed. Enjoy the beta, test all the things and report anything you find amiss, to make OpenTTD 15 the best OpenTTD 15 ever.
