** Because base sets ''must'' be able to be downloaded on first run or included with the game itself, all base sets are licensed under GPL v2. Fortunately this means there is not nearly so much drama compared to making NewGRFs.
* "Game Scripts" provide [[House Rules|custom game modes]]. These are also found via the content downloader.
* Because the original ''[[Transport Tycoon Deluxe]]'' competitor AI was [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|a cheating bastard]] and [[Artificial Stupidity|a hilariously incompetent transportation engineer]], as of 2023 ''OpenTTD'' uses the "[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|NoAI]]" system. This allows customized, community-made AIs to flourish, however many AIs in the in-game content downloader [[Technology Marches On|are no longer maintained or working]].
* Finally, OpenTTD diverges heavily from ''Transport Tycoon'' due to added features, and the recent addition of such features as [[An Architect Is You|Custom Train Stations from NewGRFs]], [[Cool Boat|Canals and Locks]], [[Boring Yet Practical|Drive-Through Road Stops]] for bussesbuses/trucks and [[Ensemble Dark HorseDarkhorse|trams]], [[Underground Monkey|Railtypes]], [[An Interior Designer Is You|NewObjects]], [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Not]][[Failure Is Thethe Only Option|Road]][[Genre Savvy|Types]], ''[[Rule of Cool|Custom]]'' [[Awesome Yet Practical|Drive-Through]] [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie|Roadstops]] has made that only more so. However, such extensive features can only be added through extensive programming effort in the form of "Patches". Unlike a patch for fixing bugs, a feature patch (actual name) [[Shaped Like Itself|does what you expect]] but can only be applied to one version of the game (usually the latest nightly at the time), making them essentially useless unless accepted by the official version's developer team because they won't be maintained as part of the game's code updates.
** As stated above, the fix for this was "Patch Packs" like JGR's Patch Pack, which allow more patches to be tested by wider audiences without requiring upstream (official version) code changes.
