I suggest adding a parameter (S) that limits the quantity of subsidies for N years (N = 5 or N = 10). The number of subsidies per year (s) remains random, but is dependent on the number of subsidies for the previous N - 1 years.

s₀ = rnd(S - ∑(s₁₋ₙ … s₋₁))
Where rnd(S) is a function that generates a random number with a normal distribution around S.

It is also possible to calculate the probability of a subsidy in the current month directly from the value of S.

A large number of subsidies turns the game into work and does not leave time for enjoyment.

Reported version: 1.7.1
Operating system: All

Thanks for the suggestion Aleksey. This one is unlikely to be implemented in OpenTTD. You can just ignore the subsidies :) .

You can also try out GameScripts such as Busy Bee (which add more goals not less) :) . It is probably possible to write a GameScript that controls subsidies directly (there are controls for this). https://nogo.openttd.org/api/1.6.0/classGSSubsidy.html

OpenTTD's preferred strategy is to modify gameplay with content (newgrf, GS, AI) rather than changing the core game, where possible :)

I do not understand why it is not possible to manage the probability of issuing subsidies? Who decided that 2 to 5 subsidies per year the most right amount? Why can not I make 1 to 2 or 5 to 10? Just give the ability to change one constant.
