Welcome, Guest

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

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!

there are some issues with the loan amounts.. 1.2 gave much more loan than intended so it had to be decreased but it does not work as it should. i will keep looking into it today and hopefully come up with a solution that works. Keeping BTPro.nl servers troll and cheat-free! beware!	Ivanoz Offline BTPro RETIRED Moderator There is no spoon! Posts: 79 Thank you received: 2

It's fine on Quick Temperate, but I think it will stop a lot of players from playing on your servers. On the SHORT server, way too limiting IMO.	Zalmar Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 61 Thank you received: 0

simply no. quick goal can still be done in 4 years and its non-stop building action right from the start. You are quite overconfident marking yourself as a 'better' player.

Wow.

You have got to be kidding me.

I don't think you understand what I'm talking about when I'm referencing what was possible before the loan was lowered. Running multiple trains on the same single track without signaling early game is a great way to min-max - this greatly limits your possibility to do so.

A lower loan will, by the very definition of HAVING LESS MONEY, always give you LESS to do than a higher one. It dumbs the game down outside of the small area in regards to vehicle optimization. And vehicle optimization was already used by decent players in the first place (primarily for feeders early game).

I give up. You're not capable of reading.

Just did short goal desert in 13 years, no problem with the original starting loan, setting up a quick money line is key. Which is much easier on the larger maps. Btw Zalmar your company on server 4 was earning over £250,000 a year with your two oil trains.	cxc Offline BTPro RETIRED Moderator Posts: 241 Thank you received: 35

Ok? I am not saying it's hard to get profit, but these loans are far too limiting on anything but Quick and you will lose players because of it. Slowing down the game and limiting options is just dull.	Zalmar Topic Author Offline Senior Member Posts: 61 Thank you received: 0
