OpenTTD is a business simulation game in which players try to earn money via transporting passengers and freight by road, rail, water and air. It is an open-source remake and expansion of the 1995 Chris Sawyer video game Transport Tycoon Deluxe.
OpenTTD duplicates most features of Transport Tycoon Deluxe and has many additions, including a range of map sizes, support for many languages, custom (user-made) artificial intelligence (AI), downloadable customisations, ports for several widely used operating systems, and a more user-friendly interface. OpenTTD also supports local area network (LAN) and Internet multiplayer, co-operative and competitive, for up to 255 players.
OpenTTD is free and open-source software licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.0 and is under ongoing development. According to a study of the 61,154 open-source projects on SourceForge in the period between 1999 and 2005, OpenTTD ranked 8th most active open-source project to receive patches and contributions. In 2003 or 2004, development moved to their own server. Since 2018, the project uses GitHub for its source repository and bug tracker.

now this a real eye-opener i thought my buss centipede was unavoidable

@MasterHellish-Gaming 4 года назад

For me too, I need to use this more.

@XXpawn 4 года назад

I group my trains and busses but I never use timetabling. Maybe I should. Thank you Hellish for this eyeopener. Very instructive!

@MasterHellish-Gaming 4 года назад

I think it could be good for ensuring good spacing.

@XXpawn 4 года назад

@@MasterHellish-Gaming Yes indeed! already tried it out in my current game. Very useful. Busses and ships so far but will also do it with trains. Didn't know openttd still had secrets for me. It did. You are truly a master!

@SKumar-fk6tj 4 года назад

I use timetables for Passenger Trains. I add some Extra Time to Actual time, as trains get might get Late due to crossings, signal, Route jamm etc. The City which has many platforms, there I give Extra time to trains. Although Timetables make game more realistic But Profit decreases as Train frequency decreases. In Freight trains there is No need of timetables as they depend on Full Load.

@IroAppe Месяц назад

@@SKumar-fk6tj It's the only way to satisfy the station rating requirement of being served frequently, if you have a long route that takes a long amount of time. Otherwise you get 16 busses/trams/trains at once, and then nothing for 90 days, and then 16 busses/trams/trains at once again. Or, the only way then is to spam the line with vehicles, until there's always one there. That's fine for routes where it is profitable to have them fully loaded with trains. But I find that for the city transport system I have right now, I started with overloading it with vehicles and most of them ran on negative revenue, since they don't get filled. So I'm happy to learn about the timetable feature, it will be the perfect fix.

@endymallorn 4 года назад

I find groups are very useful for multi-cargo runs like Oil Goods, Wood Goods, or Factory Goods. Even if a train or a few trains are running badly, if the overall group is profitable, no cause for alarm.

@MasterHellish-Gaming 4 года назад

I am going to play around with groups a little more I think.

@reypatey 10 месяцев назад

I bought this game back in 1994 and I've had it installed on every pc i owned since then. Ottd and all the features that come with it are a blessing for me. I've picked it up again this weekend to show the game to my wife and we basically played friday to sunday straight. :D We were both unhappy with the bus spacing which led me to finding your tutorial on youtube. Thanks a lot man! I thought i knew everything about the game but this was really helpful! Much appreciated!!

@m1geo 3 года назад

I've been playing this game for around 15 years (and just TTD before) and ever really bothered with buses as they never really made a profit for me. Now I can experiment with this!

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 года назад

I find it fun to experiment with different things are there when it comes to prophet the only one that really seems to do the job properly is trains.

@m1geo 3 года назад

@@MasterHellish-Gaming I completely agree. Trains work by far the best for me. Boats turn a solid profit, but nowhere near as good as trains.

this is brilliant, thanks so much for your tutorials. now I will have an organized city growth and will use road vehicles more often, as there is a way to make them neatly spread out without micromanagement.

@moenbase1 4 года назад

I never got timetables to work in a proper way. I'll check your vid :) Just watched your video. Looks very good as usual! Question though, at the timetable part. Once you set up the timetables and choose the starting date of June. The busses created later did have the times set up in the past. Like april. That is something I always found weird. But as you said, in the end they will catch up anyway because of the delays you give them. (Y)

@quantamdefender 4 года назад

Another nice one Hellish. I don't really use either (though I have briefly dabbled with both) so it's nice to get a bit more of a look at how they work. You've essentially taught me all that I know about this game (though more from your Viewers Games and maybe Let's Plays than the specific tutorial videos) and inspired me to play it in the first place even if I still have my own way of doing things sometimes.

@Cruz0e 3 года назад

Nice, its new for me, when I play again i will use this... an idea add yellow color "taxi" buses (that are bringing transfer passengers to stations/airports), maybe make blue color for express buses (long distance buses), red for city buses, etc. , so use color codes for different types of buses... and stuff like that. also can color code trains this way, some trains that only drop off stuff to being transferred could be different color

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 года назад

I will look into the colours. Thank you

@retrocoach16 Год назад

Groups and shared order blows my mind, this tames the part of Openttd micromanaging I hate the most, expecially in old games when you have to replace by hand old vehicles

@MasterHellish-Gaming Год назад

Especially shared orders. I feel every one should be using them

@robert58 3 года назад

Wow, this is incredibly useful. I will definitely try this out soon. Thanks Hellish!

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 года назад

You are welcome

@adambyte256 3 месяца назад

Nowadays, manual grouping is even less necessary. Above, "sort by," in the vehicle list window, there's now another row where you can "group by" "shared orders." The only thing that these dynamic groups can't do that manual groups can is change the livery.

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 месяца назад

There was a reason for groups. But I can't remember it. Can't be that important

@SoeldnerJack 3 года назад

I think you forgot to mention one thing with groups that I personaly learned the hard way. It a really good way if you want to replace a vehicle with a newer one, but the old ones could carry all cargo types and the new ones only some (problems you will encounter with newGRF), it saves time if you dont want to wait till the game told you what vehicles couldnt be replaced because it cant be used for the cargo type.

Now I wonder what type of timetabling hell will develop when you trow interlining multiple passager services on one line into the mix. Then add in sections where those services have to branch off serving different designations...

@MasterHellish-Gaming Год назад

Oh it could get crazy

@DestroNoobkilla Год назад

Hey Master Hellish - as I see that you still answer to your Commentators - is there any way to create orders for a group of busses? I always got the Problem that I start with a certain amount of bus stops and that I have to add later "new bus stops" to all of the single busses or either sell them, assign orders to one of them and then clone it... It's a bad way, I'd love to just set all the bus stops for the whole group but I don't think there's such an option right?

@MasterHellish-Gaming Год назад

You can do this with shared orders: wiki.openttd.org/en/Manual/Orders#shared-orders

@a.mcintosh 4 года назад

I might ask, does timetabling make a tremendous difference in terms of profit? Without them, at a game's peak, I have least profitable vehicles making ~$7500/yr. Will effective timetabling boost this number higher?

Yes, having a well distributed system results in having good ratings at the stations

@kaxeniakristelle7887 3 года назад

Question? If I sync say 5 bus terminals to get full coverage... would I be able to collect all passengers from 1 station? As apposed to 5 in order?

@LeoLeo-qo7yw 3 года назад

Hello! I don't know if you're still active, but i have a major problem with all my vehicles. When i start a service line, i want my vehicles to be distributed between the stations. But eventually, the vehicles tend to stay together, and that causes them to arrive all at a time to the stations, wich makes the station's rating go down, since there's a large time window between the arrival of the vehicles, and the travel to the other station(s). I want them to be arriving

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 года назад

You need to do timetables then. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rwRMgveheJ4.html

@sunofabeach9424 3 года назад

But if you add a one more bus station on their path... It gets fucked up, yes? Or I just have to adjust "stay for..." and "travel for..." values and make a new start date?

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 года назад

You will need to update the time table and depending what you are changing you might want to re set the start date

@FHBStudio 3 года назад

Do you have any recommendations for airports? Mine seem to easily flood. I had an intercontinental airport with half the planet waiting to board and half the planet hovering above it waiting to get to their destination (and a ton of airplane crashes). It really sucked.

@MasterHellish-Gaming 3 года назад

Unfortunately the best way to fix that is by using trains. Airports are just too limited

@FHBStudio 3 года назад

@@MasterHellish-Gaming Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately in this particular case this would be impossible, as the airport was at the top of a mountain in the middle of a 60k+ town among farmland. It's the reason it was an airport. :)

1 send all trains to depot. 2 sell all trains. 3 use the convert tool to change all track to maglev with 1 click. 4 add new trains

@FHBStudio 3 года назад

@@MasterHellish-Gaming Yeah I'd thought of that but then I'd have to remake all the trains. Is it possible to depot all the trains, buy a ton of new maglev trains and then copy the orders of the old trains before selling them? Ought to be possible if some of the old depots are kept right?

@FHBStudio 2 года назад

@Marc Zbigniew I've tried it and it's thus far the "fastest" way I've come up with. Just rebuild 1 train, copy orders from an old train and then clone the new train.

if you group your trains, you get an option to replace them in the groups tab

Look at "shared orders"

@MichaPawelec-tz4ub Год назад

Hello, Can you do the same if you didn't "ctrl-clone" the vehicles? Can you make "share orders" vehicles, which you didn't buy with shared orders, or do I have to sell all my vehicles and buy them again with "shared orders"? I also recently downloaded new version of openTTD and I don't know how to make the interface bigger... I looked in the interface folder in settings, but couldn't find it... maybe because everything is so small now :/

Tooltip suggests it should be, but people on a forum are claiming it is achievable only with patches. Here is my thread on the forum: www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=86861&p=1230339#p1230339
