iv'e been wondering this for a while, its probably been asked, but i havnt found anything.
when you make a new town in the map editor, you should be able to put in the building you want, and expand in more then you can at the moment. has it already been done
? in the making
? or not possible

It's Transport Tycoon, not SimCity

I agree with George but I doubt it will ever happen.

Too much work for too little benefit - making a new UI for something used so rarely wouldn't be worth IMO. Even if you could shape a town to your liking, it would start building randomly after starting the game, and after a decade or two, you wouldn't recognize it anymore.

In theory this wouldn't have to be done by Patching. There's nothing to prevent someone from writing a completely new Windows application in Visual C++ or something, that reads GRF files and generates TTD-compatible scenarios.
I'm not suggesting that YOU do that though, Csaboka, you have other more pressing work.

Although it would be nice if towns build better road network...
For example:
(B = Building, R = Road)
This town can only expand at the left and the right
But if it would demolish a few buildings for road construction:
Now the town can expand more easily
