Master the Global Supply Chain
Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (OpenTTD) is an open-source business simulation game based on the legendary 1995 classic. Players earn money by transporting passengers and raw materials via road, rail, water, and air. It's a game of logistics, complex junction design, and cutthroat economic competition.
Hosting a dedicated OpenTTD server transforms the game into a persistent, asynchronous multiplayer experience. Compete with up to 255 players to monopolize industries, or share a company password to cooperatively build a massive, continent-spanning rail network. With a dedicated server, the economy keeps moving even when you step away.
Complex Rail Networks
Design intricate track layouts using block, path, and pre-signals. A high-tickrate server ensures trains never collide and pathfinding calculations happen instantly.
Cooperative Company Management
Join forces with friends by sharing a company password. Work together to build airports, shipyards, and bus routes under a single corporate banner.
Endless Customization (NewGRFs)
Transform the game with NewGRFs (mods). Add real-world train sets, complex industry chains like FIRS, or entirely new map biomes directly to your server.
