I play a bit of OpenTTD from time to time. There's quite a learning curve, but it's enjoyable. For all the tweaks though, there's a couple that I always want, are always the source of me stopping play:

I don't like negotiating with towns to let me lay down roads and other infrastructure. After a while dealing with this nonsense by planting thousands of trees gets old and doesn't work all the time. I wish I could just turn that off.

I wish resources didn't run out. By the time I have a pretty cool multi-mode transport network worked out, somebody will run out of resources and I have to undo the whole thing. The maps are big enough that infinite resources would still be fun.

The game gets into these weird modes were my boats or trains or whatever are shuttling around tons of mail, or the lines to use service at one stop are unbelievably long and there's no activity anywhere else. I think it's a bug (but I'm open to it being a problem in my transport network as well).

The GUI gets a little obtuse and fussy for my taste. It's okay when you're building up a mode of transport, but once your network starts to get really medium sized you quickly run into trouble trying to keep track of what's going where or doing what.

There are a couple of 'NewGRFs' that can solve some of those problems.
