Open TTD is now on Android

I got irritated with Open TTD because they made a change which broke the game for me.

They made it so that industries can close down for what seems like arbitrary reasons.

I used to edit the scenario before I played it, and add extra industries in places that would make me more money. So, as an example, I'd place 6 coal mines at one end of the map, and then a power station at the other. This allowed to me create a very profitable route because the 6 coal mines kept supplying enough coal to completely fill a train, and the long distances involved meant the payoff was enormous.

The problem was, with these changes that they made, pretty soon those coal mines would start closing down, and then the route would not be so profitable anymore.

I don't care that it wasn't realistic or made the game too easy - I wanted to play the game the way that I wanted to play it, and it was possible in previous versions of OpenTTD, but then they changed it!

I'm sure there are settings to change it back to the original version. I know the planes were OP

Funnily enough, its something that lots of people ask about, but isn't a simple toggle. You need to download a patch, or callback or something.

I don't get why you would make a massive change to the way that things used to work, and not provide a way to undo that change.

And then one of the developers has the nerve to bitch about it!
 
Wasn't this available on Android for years now?

I recall installing OpenTTD a long time ago(years before the "official" Android TT became available - that I played for about an hour and then forgot about) and needing to copy some of the OpenTTD files from my PC to phone/tablet

Still worth a download again, though I could never really give this game the several hours it deserves at a time on my phone

Pre-post edit: Yes! Following the "install old versions here" link from the description shows that there were versions dating back from 2010

Yea that is strange. Some people get offended if you put hot sauce onto food they prepared. Probably the same type of guy
