 ## JGR's Patchpack version 0.58.3
 
-This is a collection of patches applied to [OpenTTD](http://www.openttd.org/)
+This is a collection of features and other modifications applied to [OpenTTD](http://www.openttd.org/).  
+It's a separate version of the game which can be installed and played alongside the standard game, not a loadable mod (NewGRF, script, or so on).
+
+This is mainly intended to be used by players who are already familiar with the standard game and how to play it.  
+It is not aimed at beginner/novice players. Some features and settings are there for very experienced players and so may have a steep learning curve.
