alt Hacker NewsI always know what kind of game I want to play, but it's overwhelming to set up, if even possible. It's tons of packages, forums, idk.. so I just end up playing vanilla, with maybe some rules among the players. But I wish there was a comprehensive interface to allow me to set all the stuff that I want.
From the top of my head (haven't played in over a year) it would be: cargo destination for people, cargo prices reflect proximity of other productiosn, mono/maglev only has passenger cabs, regular rail still gets upgrades, no planes I guess, "automatic" public transport within cities - no need to build stops, just buses driving around (transferring people to train stations). And probably more I can't think of now.

If you're happy with not doing cargo and can tolerate an also slightly weird pax distribution, I highly recommend [NIMBY Rails](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1134710/NIMBY_Rails/).
Anyone have any favorite ai suggestions? I am never sure which ones are too easy, too hard or simply crash all the time.
It's actually not difficult to setup at all. The game just work out of the box without any mod. However there's a learning curve. Find a tutorial somewhere online and follow it thru then you're golden.
It took me maybe an hour to learn the first time I played it. It's worth it! :D
Tho after finishing the game a few times it gets old.
If you're starting out, I really recommend the Master Hellish youtube channel, here's one introductory video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_pGUdMjWVs
This would be awesome for OpenMW, too. Morrowind is kind of dated. But I like the original style. So a curated easy install of improvement mods as a service would be great.
I’m the same. I once suggested on the Transport Tycoon forums that there be a mechanism for curated sets of NewGRFs that work well together to be selected from the main page and was resolutely told that it’s up to the user to put together their own sets as they like.
EDIT: it looks like something like this is now in v16 as “collections”! I wonder if these can be shared.
