Welcome to the Transport Tycoon Wiki. This wiki aims to be the one stop for TTD players, veteran and beginner alike. It will eventually contain guides to the smallest things, such as building your first railway line, and purchasing your first locomotive. That's the theory at least - it's still quite the work in progress!

Hint: to create new pages:
 
 
* link to them somewhere, then click on the link to edit them. The name should make sense when read in and out of context. You can use the SandBox to play with and test how things work, even without having to register. This feature can be especially useful if you are making a considerably long article from scratch and do not want the article page until it is (almost) finished, or
 
* search for the page name you want to create, then click [[Create this page]] link. All rules above apply.
 
 
Have fun!

Welcome to the Transport Tycoon Wiki!

The one-stop portal for information for all TTD players, veteran and beginner alike. Below you can find helpful links for OpenTTD, TTDPatch, developer documentation, and other community resources.

OpenTTD is an open source clone of Transport Tycoon. It is always being expanded with new features and has an active modding community with tons of available content.

TTDPatch was the original effort to expand Transport Tycoon with new features and content. While it was highly popular and successful, today it is mostly abandoned in favor of OpenTTD.

The OpenTTD Community

If you want to learn more, help out writing documentation or get further gameplay help then check out the following:

Helping with the Documentation

The OpenTTD documentation is stored and edited using this wiki. Feel free to start editing as soon as you feel you can, but read the Manual of Style first, and make any tests in the Sandbox.

Visit the village pump to discuss any major changes or additions to the documentation, or you can start right in on requests posted in the article requests. Also:

  • Some articles need smaller changes to satisfy our needs, and there is a list of these. If you don't feel up to writing full articles then this may be a better place to start.
  • There are also some articles that require more work before they can be called finished, and you can browse them in Expand category.
Getting Help

Do you need further help that the manual can't provide? Then try our forums, the main source for help and developer's information, or join our IRC channel.

Player Resources

This is a list of resources you may find useful that are not part of the manual.
