 Moneymaker is the transport infrastructure built during the [[planning]] phase of a  [[Public Server]] game to provide early-game income. Makeshift train networks were  mostly used for this traditionally, but have since been replaced by airplanes. An exeption to this is games where the starting date does not allow for planes, making the plane approach impossible.

 In the earlier days of Openttdcoop, unorganized short-term train networks were built as a moneymaker. Coal was typically the cargo of choice because of its tolerability to delays and generally high payment rates. Very few terrain-changes were made and the tracks kept relatively simple to save money. Hubs were typically quick-and-dirty (see [[Ghetto Style Hubs]]), and general building codes often overlooked for the sake of simplicity.

Hubs are typically quick-and-dirty (see [[Ghetto Style Hubs]]) except near the primary drop. An inefficient hub is typically tolerable as the added delays are tolerable and the network is not near capacity and unlikely to jam. Not only are goods like coal increasingly profitable for longer runs, they are relatively insensitive to delays.
