* Meaning I renamed my original OpenTTD folder beforehand to get all default settings, no NewGRFs with the ability to easily restore everything afterwards

Some stats:

• 14 trains on 1,626 pieces of rails and 184 station tiles
• 12 buses on 14 station tiles
• 8 planes on 4 airports

That's a decent development rate, but nothing extraordinary. After you memorize a few basic station layouts and signaling rules, the most important factor that limits your expansion at default settings is how fast you can click.

For a long time, the typical map size on a multiplayer server used to be 256x256, and the largest available size was 1024x1024. The default settings are tailored so that a beginner can keep his company afloat even with short distances and few industries.

If you want to give yourself a challenge, try building a cargo company with the weight multiplier set to x5 or more.
