SIMULATION / BROWSER PORT

OpenTTD.

Lay out a transport network in a browser build of OpenTTD. This entry points to pelya’s specific web application, whose repository describes an Emscripten build and a touch interface.

YOUR FIRST SESSION

Your first few moves.

Jump to controls ↓
  1. 01

    Start small

    Use the official bus tutorial as a first project instead of laying a large railway immediately.

  2. 02

    Connect a route

    A working service needs stops, a vehicle and orders. Follow the tutorial for the exact sequence.

  3. 03

    Watch it operate

    Check that the vehicle visits the intended stops before adding more routes.

KEEP THIS HANDY

Build a service before a network

OpenTTD’s official beginner tutorial starts with a bus service, then introduces trains and aircraft. A small route makes it easier to see whether stops, depots and orders work together. The desktop manual is a guide to game concepts; this web port may expose its controls differently.

A train needs more than track

The official railway help separates tracks, stations, depots, signals and vehicle orders. When a train will not move, check those pieces in turn. Adding more track will not fix an order that never sends a vehicle to a station.

Keep this build’s identity in mind

This is pelya’s Emscripten web application with a touch interface. Its build instructions reference branch 12 of the Android repository. Treat newer desktop features and compatibility advice as version-dependent.

A FEW USEFUL ANSWERS

Before the next click.

Is this the latest desktop OpenTTD?

The linked repository describes a specific web build. Its source lineage does not establish that the hosted game tracks current desktop releases.

Is a phone enough?

The port is described as having a touch interface. Its small controls and map view still need checking on your device; a pointer and larger screen are a useful starting point.

Where should a beginner start?

The OpenTTD manual’s bus tutorial is the shortest route into a complete service. Then move to the train tutorial when stops and orders make sense.
