Is there a way to get "cargodest" behaviour in OTTD?

  That would be definitely great for passengers, mail, goods, but I think for raw materials it should just pick the nearest factory? Or at least have it as a preference. Also I would also love for cargo being able to be transferred between competitors. Ideally natively (for passengers at least) if the stations are near enough.

    > Or at least have it as a preference. It's a setting in the config file (you can also modify the connectedness, i.e. how many partners a factory picks when it's generated). There's also a "cheat" tool to manually force a connection in the game.

  There have been historical patches for this in other versions (most recently YACD[1]), but most have been abandoned. The last one was abandoned in favour of cargodist because: > - This form of routing cargo has a much different game play effect than cargo dist. > - The current implementation is too expensive in CPU time, you'll hit CPU limits too soon (the current game already has this problem) > - There is no easy road to reduce that CPU cost (at least nobody found one so far) I'm not sure why it's considered too expensive for OpenTTD, but not for Simutrans. It might be because of the larger map size options, something inherent to the way the TTD map is structured, or just OpenTTD's desire to maintain it's "runs on a toaster" status. You might find some patch packs that will work in the OpenTTD development forum that include YACD[2].
