Build a freight hub | Transport Fever 2 gameplay #13

[@mothership_q2422]

"Totally Tropical Transport Fever Two!" Oh Col, advanced alliteration always has an audacious appeal.

[@METALFREAK03]

Frankly Fantastic Flippin' Films he creates, indeed

[@METALFREAK03]

43:30 This reminds me of the episode when you bought a billion pounds worth of trains and broke the game.

[@colonelfailure]

Worth it.

How, I spent 1.7 and not even a pause in the game .

I'm hyped for the foot production :)

[@backyardfarmingthephilippi1841]

"Thank you Sade." I laughed out loud. This is why I watch (and for the trains.)

[@SaturnMist09]

That ending just scared me........

[@shinyshoes101]

Colonel, I’m intrigued in this series as to why you always seem to start laying track intersections with the outer track first, then try to squeeze the inner track (which is crossing over a track) second and always get the dreaded ‘construction not possible? Whilst I recognise your ‘unique’ building style, may i suggest trying the other way round, and saving a few mumbles, grumbles and (blasphemy!) unneeded bulldozing! Also you appear to be running trains in two directions on one piece of track... should probably do something about that 🤔 Loving the series, keep up the excellent entertainment! Cant wait to get my hands on this myself :)

[@xsaucecherryx]

the end was the most stressfull its been in a bit. the failure lives on!

[@tkkonigstiger3868]

You've made quite the mess there at the end, didn't you?

[@colonelfailure]

Yup.

[@metalhat3534]

Seeing that you had the money and the abiliy to quickly connect the third track at the food production plant got on my nerves. Also you maybe want to look at that station, when you configured it you didn't replace regular track with station track to maximize the length of the station. I am sure you will be able to untangle the whole thing, here's hoping you show it on video instead of just showing the finished product.

[@Tsass0]

Nah, no point that mate, just bodch the track through

[@lloydg9383]

[@vincewilson1]

Train Fever is a dirty word! That game was a nightmare compared to Transport Fever and now we have the even better Transport Fever 2.

[@lore3098]

You could simply add another track to the food production station on the left side (looking from MCO towards the plant). That way you could hook Food Production Alpha to it and it wouldn't interfere with the other lines which could be sorted with a simple diamond before the station.

[@excitableboy7031]

Bravo, old boy, thats one heck of a junction at the farm end. Absolute marvellous chaos.

[@joeblow5214]

This was fun. I saw you take what would have been a simple interchange 4 to 2 interchange and make it into the Bailey Yard approach from hell. Totally worth the like.

[@arjunsatheesh7609]

I wonder if it is immediately obvious to newer viewers of the channel that the initial bit before the intro is actually a spoiler for the video. The real good news is that the Colonel is making an absolute ton of money which is making him senseless.

[@NarturArkano]

Bravo! Foot production is running!

[@iLied12]

You need to rebuild the junction at the processing plant and put the third platform into use!

Don't forget to compare power ratings, too. A heavy goods trains with higher pulling power may work out faster in the long run than one with a higher top speed because it can accelerate a lot faster from stops.

[@matthewsmith6441]

With Food Production Bravo run it along another double track line next to the Distribution line and have it enter into Platform 1. It's better to keep freight routes from sharing same track as another.

[@colonelfailure]

Says you.

[@Jones8080]

The intro music before bombastic gives me Firefly vibes. Good stuff.

[@schwarztodXC54]

Watching the mess at the end knowing it could have all been avoided with just a minute of pre-dispatch signal placement was mildly infuriating, but that's part of what makes this series unique. Can't wait to get my hands on this game. Also looking forward to the other ambitious foot projects that surely await in future episodes.

[@lightplane]

Selling trains you don't ned to send to depot first. The depot button has sub options, one is a $ sign which is to instantly sell. Enjoying your series.

[@mightybouff9001]

Bit of a shambles today! Missed using a station by Mega City One pickup with passing lines (round the outside platforms so the train turning around don't have to cross before they are up to speed) which would have avoided some junctions. Also on FD Alpha no point trying to get it onto the main track, just makes for a horrific junction!

[@arturasmilasius1200]

Colonel Failure For President !!!!! oh you have one ;( Well But Colonel Failure will be a Bigger One , a Better One YEEEEAAAAAASSSSS :D :D :D

[@jamyt123]

Alpha into platform 3 on its own, Bravo & Distribution into 1/2 with a crossover and all your problems would be solved. Good stress reliever shouting at the screen in the morning Colonel!

[@robert1529]

my good colonel, you have cause me a lot of pain, I tried to do what you build here in my OTTD game, it ended bad:( But now I know the at most limits of the game.:)

[@breakcoregivesmewo0od611]

in today's epsiode, the colonel discovers a usefull feature from TPF 1 in TPF 2! hooray for powerrating!

[@henersinsane]

The fix is simple, reassign the Bravo line to platform 2, you currently have it set on platform 3 hence its inability to turn around on the correct track, double check the track crossovers. Delete all the cross overs then put them back in to double check you have them correct as I believe you are missing one simple little piece from platform 2 back to 1 or similar

[@MrBlubb80]

Make it go back to the depot - it causes chaos and that’s fun! YES, COLONEL. Have I ever agreed more with you? I don’t remember!

When you're looking at the terminal screen of a station, the colored number tells you what stop number the station is on the line. You need the white number all the way on the left to tell you what terminal the line is using.

[@rickboivin7732]

Also, view the station horizontally when reassigning platforms. You always view your stations vertically and the interface doesn't work that way.

[@visavis16]

I'm just worried that you put in to long of delivery trains at first. The amount of food that's going to be delivered to the Hub won't be enough to fill the delivery trains as long as they are till you get more delivery from the hub and probably more grain into the food factory to fill out the hub. I'm pretty sure that it takes 800 food to fill out a food factory because of the 2/1 ratio. I love your videos, Keep up the good work!!

[@papasmurfette007]

While I applaud the level of Foot Production, may I suggest a more generally accepted world form - Metre Production. Plus you'll be producing just over 3 times as much...

[@gordondry]

Perhaps / hopefully there is a setting to force the use of a depot to sell stuff.

[@Matthew.1994]

i just found your videos. did not know that dutch plays TF2 lol

[@cieramist1]

Just curious...I was wondering how it is that you know so much about trains and "how" they work. Do you work with trains in "REAL LIFE"?...for a living?? I know that anytime I need to learn something more as to HOW to run a train "correctly", and how to lay my tracks and signals, I ALWAYS go back to your channel and watch your tutorials AGAIN.

[@colonelfailure]

I'd advise against that. I fiddle with it until it works. Sometimes I recall what worked previously.

[@Tyrope]

Signals are easy: Train goes that way? Put a signal that goes that way. Red flashy warning thingy? Remove and put signal the other way. Still red flashy warning thingy? You've got yourself a two-way track. Good luck!

[@PsychicLord]

Actually, the Colonel does not make the best use of signals and track junctions, he could do soooo much better if he used good signal discipline rather than 'plonking' them down [almost] willy-nilly.

[@randysteven88]

Anyone knows if they finally implemented some "Dynamic Pathfinding"? (Double tracks, overtaking, load-balancing or something like "grouped track sections" between signals.. ) Or are we still stuck with trains just using 1 track and will wait an eternity while a completely empty track is sitting right in front of it.. (For example: multi-waypoints) Between signal group 1 and 2 they can use path A or B, and let it choose accordingly. (E.G: If track A is blocked, use switch to track B.. But always prefer the original route, this saves useless re-calculations because only the route between the signals has to be checked. Or have vehicles calculate to the next waypoint, not to the next station/stop..) -#---/\--#(1)---------------B----------------#(2)---/\---#(1)---------------B---------------#(2)---/\---#->> # = Signal \/ = Switch Crossing If this is still the crappy non-dynamic system I wont be buying :(

[@vincewilson1]

Just use signals and switches. People have been using double track for years.

[@Baleur]

Frankly maybe you should just be planning your routes better. There is no point letting trains choose dynamically, if you set up the routes right in the first place. I dont mean to sound bitchy, but its kind of the way it is. As for this video in the end, the reason he had so much trouble was NOT because there's no dynamic switching, it was because he literally ordered his trains to all use the same non-accessible platform (he confused the terminal number with the line-stop-number). In any game, if you order units to go to a place that isnt accessible, things gonna grind to a halt.
