Can you make a billion dollars a year?

Post by Assassin »

I wondered if it is possible to make a billion dollars a year in OpenTTD because I want that to be my new challenge, or if there is a cap since that would take so much money and in-game resources. And not by using cheats. Also, how can you download your saves so that if I were to delete Open TTD, they would not be deleted too?

It should be possible on a very large map, but you'd likely need NewGRFs for very fast vehicles (E.g. Vactube) to be able to accomplish it in a reasonable amount of time.

There's no limit to the amount of money you can make, it all comes down to the efficiency of your transport system and the vehicles running on it.

Soon enough, you'd most likely end up with more than you can spend.

Wow, that is impressive to have one billion per year by 2050, I have only made it to 50 million. I guess I have a lot of work to do.
