@@SizzelRizzel ...and then everyone gets a car (except they dont, because many people 1. Arent allowed to drive or 2. Cant afford it) and all the roads fill up, taking away all the "freedom" cars offer And no, adding more lanes is a bad solution, in fact it would make the problem worse due to induced demand, in... Los Angeles, was it? for every lane they add to , commute time increases by on average 1 minute Let me repeat that, adding lanes INCREASES the commute time The only real solution to congestion is public transportation and easing congestion is far from the only benefit public transportation has, theres also: Mobility for children and accesibility for disabled people, Economic development (businesses around transit stations will have boosts in amount of patrons), lowering CO2 emissions significantly ( *A fleet of diesel buses on a well planned route is more enviromentally friendly than a highway full of electric cars* )

[@bobthebomb1596]

Quick info for new players, use "Country roads" not "Urban roads" between cites/factories etc as they have higher speed limits. Not an issue here atm as carts are slow, but urban roads will restrict later vehicles capable of higher speeds. Keep up the good work.

[@tevisstier9044]

Kansas City was historically a hub for rail transport here, so it makes sense to use it like that on this map

[@j0hnf_uk]

You can clone trains. It makes it easier to get additional trains with the same capacities/cargo on the lines you want them on. Plus, you have far too many signals for the number of trains you have. Each of which costing you to maintain.

[@averyesterson4720]

Don’t forget to deliver the goods to the cities so they can grow

[@zsolthb]

Generally you need at least 5 to 6 cars fully loaded to offset the running costs of the whole train - including the locomotive - and to start turning a profit. The way you went overboard with the signal-gun, you might need 7, to cover the infrastructure costs 😅 Don’t fret! Since your trains are running on the flats they can manage 10-15 cars as well. It’ll take a bit longer to reach max speed, but at these distances and speeds it doesn’t yet really matter. Also: start delivering food to the cities that need it, or your factories won’t grow and eventually stall out. Pay attention to the resource requirements of the buildings when placing the drop-offs. Also:point-to-point passenger services can be great money makers in the beginning. Use “country roads” not “city streets” to connect the settlements.

[@konefka9586]

Seniac, I dont think you have to place these signals so near each other, you can put them only on crosses/joints. (by the way they cost you money once like 20 seconds in fast forward)

[@dereksmith6126]

Yep, way too many signals.

[@JohnnyHughes1]

More signals means more blocks and more trains moving at the same time. You should set up signals about the same size as your longest planned train for maximum speed and/or trains moving at the same time. No trains can enter a block until a train leaves out the other end of the same block. If you only put signals at the end, near junctions.. Only one train (on each track) can be inside that entire block at one time.

[@ddiscorama]

no, that's the correct way to keep trains moving in tf2.

[@saranraghavendra8]

Top speed is not the only thing you have to see while selecting a locomotive. You need to check the horsepower and tractive effort also. Higher horse power & higher tractive effort will help to pull more cargo and achieve top speed quickly.

[@amazingleebare]

I saw you on Transport Fever 2 and I was hoping for a new series Keep doing more :) Love the content

Yeeeessssssss!!!!!!! Finally! I have been waiting for you to play this game again.

Yeah Seniac you fool, we or at least I want to see some more of this. Also really enjoying your city bus manager game. Enjoying you're break out from City Skylines on this of your second channels.

So Glad you Started Transport Fever 2

[@tyjogaming7002]

anyone else find it funny that the train storage place looks pretty close to the main track and just needs a triangle but irl thats about 50-100 miles off the main line

[@woutvanmeerbeeck2897]

For sure like some more but i must notice that the more you export the more the factories demand so if you start exporting the food your grain demand goes up.

[@aeyempire]

A great video! Really thrilling to see what you can do with this giant map!

[@lebawsski]

The financial tycoon aspect of the game is OK. Where it really shines is the building of the tracks. It's basically a virtual miniture railroad table. Where you can run cool trains and build awesome tracks.

@@anthonyexmouth thank you. i found it...

[@JonRaybon]

Love these USA megalomaniac maps, with one caveat.. you can't really do a historical style playthrough, starting on the East Coast, and working westward, or you'll go broke. You have to start in Texas, with oil trains running to Houston, then sending fuel along the gulf coast, and up the Mississippi (or running food through the Midwest.) Trying to do East Coast stuff runs you into the Appalachians, and the huge costs of tunnels and grades. Starting in 1800, this means that Texas and the midwest aren't even part of the US when you do this. Still jolly good fun though.

[@CubeInspector]

The gane starts in 1950. Texas became a state in 1845. Even California was a state in 1850. The US had already manifest destined across the continent at that time. There were 30 states already just some territories had not yet been incorporated and ratified

[@ChakatNightspark]

Pretty Much the Idea is to Pay off the Loans As SOON as possible. Not hold onto it. You had over a Million dollars could have paid off 1 million dollars of that Loan. Yes its only $50,000 per year. But that is still $50,000 per year being Wasted. The Idea is to pay it all off, not have to pay any interest At all. Let the game Run and build up money again, pay off more of the loan. IE, just got 500,000$ pay loan off. That way You can just take out another $500,000 to $5 million as soon as you get read to build,buy, whatever. Pretty much you are just bleeding money away with keeping that interest going. Pay it off as SOON as possible Every Time. also taking only small amounts out at a time too, Not full $5 million/ Max amount of money right away.

Just a thought would it be cheaper to add a train but instead of doubling the track set the trains to go station 1 to 2 and back to 1. And then the other train Station 2 to 3 then back to 2. Yes the track is needed further down the line but maybe that micro management can help reduce the overall cost.

You can create blocks on the single rail line so you can use multiple trains and not spend on double rail line.

food and grain use different wagons. your better off starter with fuel, as crude, oil, fuel, all use the same wagon. plus it's a 3 phase chain, easier to always run full.

[@hound83]

Your vehicles spend a lot of their time running empty. Try bringing a resource to a factory and use the same vehicles to bring back the product that the factory produces to a city. (making a triangle/loop kind of system) This way vehicles only run empty from the city to the new pickup. Currently all your vehicles run empty about 50% of the time.....
