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!

Cargo delivery payment 7 years 1 month ago #5961

Hello,
I have a question that I really can not find an answer on. Is there a way to see how much money you can get by transporting cargo? I know that it is dependent on time, speed, distance and what cargo it is but there doesn't seem to be a graph for that. I have found the graph that is in the btpro client but it shows that for a 100 day transportation oil gives the same reward as fruit. But when I created a route it gave me much less reward for fruit than for oil. I just don't understand how to set the perfect distance for a specific cargo depending on speed.

Thanks,
Sandpatch

There's several information about it:
- wiki.openttd.org/Cargo_income
- wiki.openttd.org/Game_mechanics#Delivery_payment_rates

Anyway, I like to check it ingame:


Hope it helps :)

Thanks, but again this doesn't show the perfect distance to set up a route depending on speed. You need to do quite a lot of calculation before. And passengers is at the bottom if the income list, yet they are one of the absolute most rewarding ones? How does this work?

Perfect distance, per se, doesn't exist. It depends on the year, vehicle speed and capacity, etc. Among our servers the "perfect distance" can vary, making it your task to discover.
It's impossible to make a table for it, covering all dates, climates, available vehicles (including newgrf's) for all cargo types (covering newgrf's).

ok, but why is are passengers so rewarding compared to other sources, even though payment is the lowest?

Because, when towns are already big enough, provides ALOT (Passengers and Mail) and it starts as a double way payment. If you manage some double way with Coal (for example) will pay more (for the same distance).

Btw, other players can reply and suggest some "best distances" per BTPro server :)
