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!

AFAIK this is the most definite answer to "perfect distance" you can get: citymania.org/tools/profit

As for passengers, there are several factors that make them so good.
1. It's essential two-way cargo. While you can do two-way with other cargos it requieres a more complex setup, and incurs more transfering delays, so payment is less.
2. Passenger wagons are usually quite capacious, so even though payment rate for 1 unit seems low, it gets better when you calculate for 1 wagon. And towns (well, if not too small ofc) generate a lot of passengers, much more than any industry.
3. Passengers weight less, so trains accelerate faster, travel time is less and payment is better.

Though, while passengers bring a lot of money, I'd say they aren't the most profitable cargo. Usually you can do better with, say, goods in a long run. But pax/mail is perfect for starting route as it pays more for the same amount of effort.

That graph was cool! I am going to use it. Doesn't have all industries but it show where something is profitable. I have started making my own now as well, some troubleshooting and it should be finished. The reason I got into this is that I tried to start a map with fruit once and I got 45k out of it. With oil I can get 95k per trip. I just got to curious.

The reason that passengers are so highly rewarding is because you deliver them two-way and later in the game when the cities are big the production is ridiculous.
Anyaway, maybe this is the tool which are you looking for. You can change freight multiplier, train length and locomotive and it provides you some income comparsion with optimal travel lenght ;)

Sadly there are not all types of cargo.. but I guess it is still worth lookin ;)
