There are a lot of graphics packs... Which looks the best

How can I get the best looking graphics out of OpenTTD? Which packs etc

For me zBase is a nice HD/clean look.

hmmm I downloaded it from the download in the client... It was like 250mb and I don't see it... I don't see if the GFX menu or the main settings on the pull down.. only see opengl

[Jasperdoit]

It should be right here[prnt.sc]

Thanks! Looks very nice! Do you recommend any other mod?

[BlacKHeaDSg1]

For me, zBase is the best since i really don't like low pixel count like TTD has. I wish that there would be a middle ground like Locomotion have it.

[kDenos]

Locomotion was indeed a perfect balance between pixel and polygons (trains for example if im not wrong)

Go to Game options then GFX then instead of openGFX or something click the down drop box and it should be zBase to select.

You need to download it.
Go to "Check content online"
Type zBase
Then enable it in your options

Starting new game, Would like a Modding/Game Setting Suggestion?

First, I love Transport Tycoon + Deluxe and know and been playing Open TTD in older version. And now that's it come to my most beloved steam platform [Didn't follow much of the news, and forum so really thank you for this] I think I will start a new game and accumulate the playtime here.

So would like to ask which mod should I be using. Been playing the pure vanilla for so long. But looking for a fresh new look. Seeing nearby thread https://steamcommunity.com/app/1536610/discussions/0/3076496088110691126/

Suggesting zBase [which look super nice] for Graphic

so anymore mod should I be using. Or the one in this look like a nice addition https://www.reddit.com/r/openttd/comments/jij6qb/list_of_best_modsgrfs_for_openttd/

And about AI? been using Simple AI is good enough. But wanting a bit more competitive AI [but not too competitive as I'm not that great player]

Thank you for any info/idea/suggestion. Will comeback and check the forum once in a while. And will now go spread the word about this game.

Just open the zip file, double-click the "openttd-jgrpp-X.XX.X-windows-winXX" folder, and then select all the files and extract them to... C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\OpenTTD ...overwriting all the files. You can now play JGR's Patch Pack via Steam.

If you want both versions, instead extract the files in the zip file to a different folder, then add it to Steam via the "Add Non-Steam game..." option.

This is not an online content/mod, it's an entirely different version of the game, and not (yet) available through Steam. It may or may not be available in the future.

There's a LOT of things that you've missed since then. I would suggest either you just download it and try it, or take some time to learn about it. Sometimes there's not good descriptions or documentation available from the online content server, but there's usually a lot more description and discussion over on tt-forums.net.

One thing to remind you of. If you use a NewGRF industry set, you WILL need NewGRF vehicle sets. Pretty much all vehicle sets support all industry sets, but you may want to check documentation to just make sure there are not exceptions. A good basic set would be OpenGFX+ Trains, OpenGFX+ Road Vehicles, FISH/SQUID Ate FISH for ships, AV8 and/or World Airliner's Set for aircraft.

Recommended settings/add-ons to make the game more difficult

This is a question to people who play OpenTTD a lot and tried different add-ons. I know the game since a very long time and I played it a lot in the past, but the main issue I have is that with the default settings the profits are so huge there is little challange. I tried tinkering in the game options, but so far couldn't really make much difference.

So, what would you recommend?

Turn off breakdowns, turn on «twoway_eol» (google search for that).
Play not for money, but for great jam-less train networks – openttdcoop style.
https://wiki.openttdcoop.org/Main_Page

It's harder than you can think. Openttdcoop set another problem than «mee, my trains do breakdown too often» or «let's make 500 planes».
