As it is said in the documentations about "Increased Number of Vehicles":

... does the "Larger Station Spread" with values larger then 20 like 255
affects the game like the vehicles number (slower game)? I've read this
one on OTTD and i'm not sure if this affects the Patch (i've tried 255 and
didn't notice any "slowiness", rather then the 40 value of the vehicles
number)...

No it doesn't.  I don't know why it would affect OTTD, because it's only a
very brief check whenever you're placing a new station facility.

I was pretty sure it didn't, well, back to the old 255 value.

Thanks Josef.
