Welcome to the BTPro OpenTTD Community

This community was build around the game: OpenTTD
OpenTTD is an (Free) open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

 

!!! Please note that a few servers have been shut-down !!!
Most of the times these servers were doing nothing (no players),
that's why I've decided to slim down the number of OpenTTD servers running.

I have made a selection to keep the most popular servers online.
If you miss a OpenTTD server that you REALLY played a lot, please do post
in the forums. I will then check if I can get it back online!

I'm trying to work from now on with only 1 physical server to
run all OpenTTD instances!

The following servers have been shut down recently:

1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 & 18

Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

Frank, ST2, Wacko1976, Inscius!

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...

 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.

 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

As far as I can see, this is just a 2-way delivery system and since self-competition is only disallowed on primary industries, this isn't illegal. Unless I'm missing something.

well, trains don't have full load order so at early stage they make many empty runs.
What about setting it up far, far away from town? It's not possible with hotel, because it has to be close to town center, but you can fund gas station and builders yard anywhere you want.

So i see people experimenting and posting threads asking about the legality of it. Why can't we just have a server specifically dedicated to experimentation? One that doesn't have rules besides no griefing and just let people experiment with setups and layouts.

Better yet why not do this in single player where it doesn't even matter and an "unfair advantage" doesn't actually affect anything.

But i hardly believe that 1-2 experiments on "normal" maps harm other players in competition. You can also just be unlucky and have some beginners building spaghetti-tracks over the whole map, same effect.

Question is if this shouldnt be a rule on 2nd industries as those arent even competition? It would be the same as having a full load train there at all times.

Rating push imo is when u have a truck just load/unload om same station. And if you transfer to other station you will still feel the effect of diminishing rating through the new system used. One might want to remake this rule to make it more clear and vote for a good standpoint whats what in rating push manner.

I can easily assume anyone playing dont wanna miss on 2nd industries outputs as they already are very low/need of dif cargo. Having full load trains anyone would do. No matter if its shoving it 1 tile or 20. Everyone wanna hoard that precious cargo.

So "rating push" no matter how u wanna distinguish its use/name its still going to exist on 2nd industries but would seem wrong on 1st if competition exists.
