In their own words
BaNaNaS
BaNaNaS is a free content service for OpenTTD, offering downloadable game content through its website and the OpenTTD client. Its catalog covers base graphics, sounds and music, NewGRFs, AIs and AI libraries, game scripts and their libraries, scenarios, and heightmaps. Listings can show item names, latest versions, upload dates, licenses, and project sites when provided. The service gives access to the latest content files and retains older versions so save games that use them can be loaded. Users are directed to download content through OpenTTD’s built-in content downloader. Dependency tracking is available. BaNaNaS is described as a volunteer project. Uploading requires users to read the terms and sign in via GitHub; contributors must be authors of the material and use a license compatible with its source material. Uploaders grant the OpenTTD team rights to distribute the latest content centrally and through the website, and to retain older versions. OpenTTD says session cookies are used for authenticated areas such as BaNaNaS, and that it does not use functional or third-party cookies.
