OpenTTD

OpenTTD is a free, open-source business simulation game where players make money by transporting passengers and cargo across road, rail, water, and air networks. The game is an expanded remake of the 1995 classic Transport Tycoon Deluxe by Chris Sawyer, bringing modern features and enhancements to the original gameplay.

Players begin by connecting industries and cities on vast, procedurally-generated maps that can span up to 4096 x 4096 tiles. To build a successful transportation network, you'll need to construct roads, railways, docks, and airports, navigating everything from crowded city streets to rivers, oceans, and mountain ranges. The game offers four distinct climate zones to challenge your planning and strategy.

You can choose to play solo or collaborate with friends to complete complex production chains, transporting raw materials and finished goods to towns and industries. As you progress, you'll manage a growing fleet of vehicles, ensuring smooth cargo transfers within a sprawling, interconnected transport system. The game allows you to customize your routes and manage cargo destinations to keep things running efficiently.

As the game unfolds, you'll need to adapt to new technologies and the evolving demands of growing towns. Industries will change, invent new transport methods, or even face collapse. To keep up, you'll have to expand stations, upgrade your infrastructure, and ensure that your network can handle the increasing flow of goods and people without causing delays.

One of the highlights of OpenTTD is the ability to enhance the game with community-made mods. These can be easily downloaded through an in-game content service, allowing you to add real-world vehicles, new industry types, custom scenarios, and much more, tailoring the experience to your preferences.
