OpenTTD 16.0-beta1

We’ve been working on some exciting new features for OpenTTD 16, and they need testing!

The first beta of OpenTTD 16 is now available with a host of new features including:

  • Trains can now drive backwards! (read more)
  • Multiplayer companies can be set to allow anyone to join without needing an invite.
  • Map generation has been improved in many ways, including rocks on desert tiles, better coasts, fixed lighthouse spawning on large maps, transmitters which only spawn after 1920, and a new setting for average height formerly hardcoded into tropic and arctic maps.
  • Subsidies are now enabled for cargos which use CargoDist.
  • Create your own collections of saved NewGRF items in picker windows, including objects, stations, and houses.
  • Scale the aging rate of cargo payments, so slow vehicles on large maps can be profitable.
  • Dropdown lists now have text filters so you can find what you’re looking for faster.
  • Vehicle preview offers have been combined into one window instead of spamming many windows.
  • Many more features, changes, and fixes, see the full changelog for details.
