  "textContent": "With the addition of the latest feature I now feel bold enough to make a proposal: would OpenTTD be interested in shipping ChooChoo with the game as a \"preloaded\" AI? I think it would be nice for the game to include an AI by default, and I think ChooChoo would be suitable:\n\n- It tries to build good looking rail networks with junctions and signals, with some road transport sprinkled in for looks\n- It aims to play competitively, but not murderously so: it will survive on pretty harsh maps and game settings\n- It's casual friendly through its \"limit company value\" option\n- It supports multiple instances of itself in the same game\n- I've tried hard to optimize the pathfinding, so it's not just \"sitting there\" (though it's not as fast as AAAHogEx)\n- It's stable and free of major bugs\n- I've maintained it for over 16 years  with no plans to stop\n\nI have no new features planned, and I can't promise any particular development effort, but I do always try to address any bug reports.\n\nStatistics: Posted by Michiel — 22 Mar 2026 22:20\n\n* * *",
