   OpenTTD really be like "no fun allowed" when it comes to town name generation I guess.

     @Tengu@snug.moe It doesn't sound like a realistic town name I bet.

     @a1ba@suya.place The town names are generated using random parts of strings that have millions of combinations that work fine most of the time so this is just a fallback to filter out a few bad combinations

     @SuperDicq but where does it take generated town names from to manually patch them? Isn't OpenTTD standalone?
     
     If some generated names are the trouble, why not generate them in the first place?

     While developing Chris Sawyer really saw "Fartingsfield City" pop up in the game and really was like "oh I need to blacklist it when it starts with fart".
