NEW SERIES! Getting started on Extra Hard EPEC in 1980 | Transport Fever 2 | Ep 1 | EPEC: Very Hard

This Let's Play Season is geared towards New Players, and it will be without mods, so totally Vanilla, with experimental map size enabled.
You can get the current Map here: steamcommunity...
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.
I hope you enjoy this playthrough challenge, and I hope I don't fail you!

15:43 yes there is a "de-select all button" it is called: click the LOAD-text (maybe with shift, I don't remember).

[@brianofwar]

Yeah click on the LOAD and UNLOAD and it deselects all or selects all

[@maru_1073]

You came and delivered you are probably the only one I actively watch transport fever 2 and never get bored. Great job keep it going

[@ymer234]

21:00 this game still needs more adjustments. A 20 ton grain wagon takes 18, but a 8 ton truck takes 21. I believe train should be the hight capacity choice (after ship).

[@ianwhitworth3264]

Thank you for starting another series. I like your play style and I'm a fan of playing along. Looking forward to what comes next!

[@demonabis]

After reading the youtube post where you talked about a new project "from an older game" I was hoping just for this! Transport fever is a game I love and the game that made me subscribe, then I stayed for the content, keep up the good work, will enjoy the series!

[@bballjo]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@chickenthelittle]

I’m so excited for this new series

[@werty1160]

Only when you said that you wouldnt bother needing to refuel trains did I realize that this is a new 2024 series of Transport Fever 2. Just happened to reinstall the game this week because Ive been binging your old TF2 vids. Happy New Year Dieselpunk Bbaljo.

[@lilmorrr]

Been looking to get better at both this and Workers&Resources, your guides are nice and easy to follow I just gotta practice up :) thanks

[@bballjo]

Awesome! I'll try to keep these videos as a mix of educational and fun, so hopefully you'll get something out of them.

[@lilmorrr]

Awesome dude keep doing what you're doing I'll let you know if I get a Eureka moment :D @@bballjo

[@0AGENT47]

I follow all your games just to watch you build Trains 😍😍

[@bballjo]

This is the way!

[@Jfk2Mr]

*railway

[@SuperAd1980]

Stroud - rhymes with cloud 👍👍

[@moojito3223]

A very nice video! I saw when you scrolled through all the trains saying "this is nice, and this one is nice too" but it would be useful to know what properties of the trains you were considering when picking a suitable engine type, as it's something I've never understood well.

[@Albireo8]

Stroud rhymes with proud. :)

[@magello3970]

I think if you click the word load or unload, it will deselect all items when setting up the cargo on the line.

[@bballjo]

Yeah...I realized that after #2 ;) thanks!

[@bulwinkle]

Stroud rhymes with loud.

[@letsgo2u770]

Lets see when the 1 hour episodes start showing up! Nice Game pick... also do trucks have the same setting as trains regarding the loading of goods?

[@bballjo]

What do you mean by "same setting as trains"?

[@letsgo2u770]

wiat until full... @@bballjo

[@xenon787]

Perhaps wait to load until full? @@bballjo

[@Martyn500B]

Like your video. My biggest weakness is bridges, never seem to get them to go right. please show some bridge construction.

[@bballjo]

There will be a lot of nitpicky bridge construction!

[@Martyn500B]

Cool@@bballjo

[@adolfmiksik2755]

The creators of W&R: SR could do a little learning how to make roads and railways for 3D terrain. 🤭

[@bballjo]

LOL! I know its a joke, but there are so many decisions/compromises devs have to make throughout development...now just look at how difficult it is to play WRSR compared to TPF2...can you even imagine the code base of either of those games, and the complexity in them? On a difficulty scale 1-10, I'd guess TPF2 lands on a 4, and WRSR 12...It's just one of those thing ;)

[@juniorpasini9137]

@@bballjo you were perfect, TPF2 = 4 (maybe less) and SWRS 12!!!!

[@AshishKumar-kv1jf]

​@@juniorpasini9137 I yearn for 120. Not enough pain in W&R

[@SadShadow004]

if you click on the word load or unload it will check /uncheck all items from the list

[@juniorpasini9137]

I have a love-hate relationship with Transport Fever 2. As much as I think it's a beautiful game, and it was perfect to be the successor to Transport Tycoon Deluxe, it leaves a lot to be desired because it's too simplistic. Stations far from the producer, production chains that are too simple, cities that only have a demand for 2 products (whereas food should be mandatory for everyone), I think it lacks depth. It has a gigantic potential but it's lazy. The ideal would be a middle ground in TF2 and SWRS, to be the perfect transport game. As for the series, it will be watched, good idea.

[@bballjo]

The last big update added dynamic industries and dynamic demands, which means cities now have up to 6 cargo demands, with some changing over time. Plus dynamic platform assignments. The game is certainly on the "simpler" side of game I play, but that's why I like it...you can still make it very complicated if you do what I do ;)

[@juniorpasini9137]

@@bballjo I saw that, up to 6, and it is a good game, maybe my comment didnt show that, but what bothers me is it could be a GREAT GAME!!!

[@bballjo]

Meh...it's great at what it does, and it doesn't try to do too many things that's it's not made for...too many games with big potential had too big ambitions, and that in turn made the game bad because they started making the wrong compromises...like all good software, you can either be a master of one or a master of none :)

[@juniorpasini9137]

@@bballjo ​ yeah, I gotta your ideia, less is more, and agree with some part, the problem was, they made Train Fever 1, Transport Fever 1, Transport Fever 2, and all lack the same problem. Why just improve the Train Fever 1 because, bottom line, they are all the same. Transport Fever should be the next step, wich, they didint take, they just improve the old games. Thats why they arent in the top 100 games played in steam.

[@arthurrussell1642]

What game is this sir

[@oldhipoz9426]

cant play it as still needs two items, save is useless

[@Moxl89]

As i bought it, i didn't like and refund it Whatching you play tf2 let me think about buy it again...

[@bballjo]

I'm sure there are some discounted versions out there...I don't think it's worth $40, but I do have over 500h in it, and the game is really what you make of it...do you like large networks? Do you like mainlines? Do you like trains? Plus, there are some pretty good game changing mods out there which even allow for single industries to supply the whole map, so more complex logistics are needed.
