Additional difficulty ?

[maxime_bfr]

Hello,

Playing OpenTTD for a long time (thanks to the developers), even with bigger maps less industry I am quickly profitable even with high prices, high maintenance, interest at 4%...

So I was wondering if in the future it was not possible to leave more configuration possibilities: interest higher than 4%, lower profit for example an option to lower the profile to 90%, 80%... And other options adding difficulty.

Thanks

You can decrease the profits by modifying cargo payment rates. There is an add-on for that.

If you absolutely want to play with a higher interest rate, I think you'd need to patch the game's source code — fortunately, this change should be rather easy to implement. However, there are plenty other settings that can make the game a lot more difficult:

• Slope steepness (separate settings for trains and road vehicles)
• Weight multiplier for freight to simulate heavy trains (especially brutal in combination with the above)
• Disable Build on slopes
• Infrastructure maintenance

Also, there is an add-on that lets you increase the base costs for player actions, such as terraforming, and vehicle maintenance.
