I've always been a big fan of the Anno series, pretty much played all of them!

Recently tried the Steamworld Build demo, and it was great. Looking for something to scratch the itch until release though. I've heard Farthest Frontier is good, any opinions on that, or other recommendation?

I tried openttd again after 15 or so years and it felt very simple to me. The passengers were just cargo with no predetermined destinations and could be unloaded to any station that accepted passengers. Am I missing something?

Click the "CargoDist" setting for mail and passengers.

That was introduced like 5 years ago, but requires you to go into settings for some reason rather than being the default. This causes passengers to individually each have a source-and-destination, and they'll take different transit lines (plane, train, and bus) in the network to reach their destination. This allows for more complex traffic patterns like loops, hub-spoke, etc. etc.
