► About The Game...
The classic transport simulation genre has a new gold standard with Transport Fever 2. Discover a whole new world by navigating transport routes through land, water and air. May progress and prosperity find their way!
Provide the world with the transport infrastructure it needs and make a fortune with custom-made transport services. Watch your trains run on rails, your buses and trucks thunder along roads, your ships power through the water, and your planes soar through the skies. Carry people on their way to work or play, and be the reason cities grow and thrive. Deliver raw materials and goods to drive the economy. Experience the greatest logistical challenges from 1850 to the present day, and build a transport empire unrivaled anywhere else on the globe!
Free play offers a huge range of creative possibilities, while campaign mode re-writes transport history across three continents. Transport Fever 2 offers a choice of over 200 vehicles from Europe, America and Asia, modelled in extreme detail; and with the in-game map editor, you can re-create landscapes from three different climate zones. Finally, the realistic transport and economy simulator, along with comprehensive modding support, round off the gameplay experience.
A huge game world is waiting for your railroads, road vehicles, aircraft and ships. Intuitive interactive rail construction tools and a modular construction system for stations make it easy to build and expand your transport empire; and thanks to a wide range of configuration options, every free play game provides a new challenge, where completely different strategies can lead to success.
Three historic campaigns set in different time periods and located on three separate continents will challenge you with different objectives …only transport magnates will manage to complete all the missions! Voiceovers and cutscenes enrich the story and contribute to a thrilling gameplay experience, and even the free play mode will challenge you with different achievements to unlock.
It is vital to adapt your company to the needs of the economy and cities: bridges, tunnels, switches, rail signals, one-way streets, light signals, and bus lanes are just some of the possibilities you can use to optimize the transport infrastructure. Even train stations and airports can be expanded with modules in order to meet different requirements; and various data layers help you visualize traffic volumes and emissions, and provide information for further improvements.
Thanks to the detailed game world, you can develop your very own virtual railroad landscape: the map editor provides the possibility to create countless different worlds; the terrain in the game can be adjusted and painted; and thanks to the extensive modding support, new creations are being developed constantly, which are available for free via the Steam Workshop and which can be easily integrated into the game.

Really loving the desert/arid map. Love the ridiculously long cargo train. Always love it when you do a TPF2 series.

[@peterstainburn2871]

Train makes perfect sense for delivering tools to Kansas City. The main tether line was a massive failure was it was sat waiting for planks for 10 minutes. It would have been full of logs within 2 minutes. However trucks would have been best overall for the production of the tools, just not the delivery

[@UKChrisC]

Yeah just wanted to second this. The trucks are great for the production but train for delivery. Also if you plan on doing short production train lines you will want to look at the upkeep of the engine as well, small diesel shunters are perfect for this. Tractive effort is more important than top speed on cargo

[@ChrissiesCorner]

I can't tell you the huge ass smile seeing this in my sub feed just put on my face! This series has become my hyper-fixation the past few days & part of me wants to go back & even rewatch some of the old Transport Fever 2 series I've already seen too! 😅🥰

[@freckles20111]

high points honestly becoming a very cool city

[@TENGILL]

Regarding the passenger trains, you only have a lot of people going to one place. Put in a train that is a direct line to that city.

[@AdamHinckley]

22:04 if you do run lines through Garland, put two through lines in the middle of the platforms

[@ronaldgill2753]

you need to make the passenger trains into different lines going from say kansas city direct to salem. and gauge it by passenger demand at each city to go to a certain city

[@tachtaahmad5621]

Just try to split your passenger line because its too long, and make san fransisco hub of your passenger train so from kansas city to garland and san fransisco they have to switch train if they want to go to salem

[@UKChrisC]

This as well. I have found three stop lines to be the sweet spot and then you can create hub cities which are on multiple lines and encourage line switching

[@AdamHinckley]

6:24 i said this in thing in the first episode(?) that another channel did this to lower the station down so that the emissions from the trains won't affect High Point and it gives you an option to run a road over the top as well

[@thomasparrott8969]

Replacing the bad road condition vehicles can save you a lot in maintenance costs

[@AdamHinckley]

28:14 you just ticked coal(?) insteal of logs

[@AnthonyPinoAntonio]

❤loving❤this ❤series!❤

[@damnimloomin]

You totally should have added passenger trains to the cargo train station in Salem so passengers could just connect into the bus station across the road! It’s too late now but that was a missed opportunity. I also think it would make a lot of sense to start with one platform add 2 passing tracks in the middle then add your second platform on the 4th track so you can share tracks easier! :)

[@artsalien6]

that train makes me remember of snowpiercer

[@jmegp]

You should do a counter loop on your bus lines.

[@day5660]

You can add a second one of the passenger trains to get 104 per train it looked like

[@khannaraha8817]

Great series so far, have to say you take far more of a gamble with your money (even before getting $100m) than I ever do and it's usually working for you.

[@thorben9526]

What you forgot about the new trucks is that the loading speed went from 2x to 3x what even makes a bigger difference then the speed

[@liltrooepr7577]

Does transport fever 2 not have contour maps to show elevations

[@marines532]

You should have some stations at either end of the map and make Regional Train routes. the trains can get up to speed and people would love to board the trains cross country

[@goneriam]

Is there a mod list of the mod's that you are using for this playthrough?

[@TENGILL]

I might be wrong but i believe having one train doing several different cargo is bad. It is better to have smaller trains that focus on a singular or at most 2 different cargo. I have not played in a while, so my memory might be wrong.

[@boomerix]

If the same car can be used then it's okay (like a fuel loop, everything get's moved in tanker cars), using different car types on the other hand is bad. Mixed cars make sense if you setup a central hub from which you distribute goods to the cities, but that requires quite a bit of planning ahead. The biggest problem here was that the saw mill didn't get enough input volume from the logs, he could have made the train go once back and forth between the loggers and the saw mill again to remedy that somewhat. It would have still been pretty inefficient. A cheap slow train would have been enough between Logging camp, Saw Mill and Tool Factory. Another line for delivery to Kansas and a third that brings logs from another camp from further away to the saw mill. That is at least my opinion, there are probably even better ways to do this production line in the video with trains only.

[@OfficialLeBear]

Not gonna lie sometimes I gotta remind myself that I’m not playing the game, so I can’t get irritated about what Dylan do 😅

[@legenderlyepic5000]

What density settings did you use to generate the map? Im looking to create a similair save.

[@AdamHinckley]

13:27 the depot?

[@MIster....]

You dont need a mile long platform

[@Resonance115]

I wish he told us his mods he used.

[@sharjeelahmed823]

what are the list of mods you are using?

[@PaulJohnson-x7l]

dude why di you stop the train delivery of tools to Kannsas use the trucks for the short distance and the train for delivery

[@eggorf7443]

Why dont u dubble the PT?

[@russko118]

lol use the upgrade tool not the bulldozer to upgrade track

[@russko118]

also for electrifying... omg you seriously rebuild instead of using the upgrading tool? it's like day 1 vanilla stuff

[@amitabhdixit3952]

Dylan, I love your TF content but you seriously need to stop coloring your trains these canvas colors 😭 They look so good in their original paintjob. TF is so based on realism/realistic looks and bright colors at times can be a little too much :) Give it a try please?
