Transport Fever 2 - Ep 14 - Faster

[@frieder_m]

Tip about Stops: Train and/or Truck: When deleting the old stop a sign thing pops up and when placing the new stop, the configuration of the old stop will be transferred to the new one. No need to reconfigure the line. The configuration will be saved as long as this sign/pin is displayed.

[@dukctape]

he even mentioned this before in an early episode lol im like worried about this guys health

[@Adam47150]

You may want to take a look at Loughton Station. The pax trains are using the same platform. The old cargo platforms need to be reconfigured to pax platforms and the two pax lines split between platforms.

[@FeaturesGaming]

*Squirrel:* and its absolutely hurendous! (Squirrel a few seconds later talking about the same thing) "I might keep that as it looks cool"

[@blankblank9904]

great episode again, as usual, but i want to mention u might want to consider to revisit the new trainstop to loughton. it would be good to choose the other pax platform. right now 2 lines share the same plattform blocking each other. its not a super issue, but can improve overall running. i mean there is no harm and only beneficial futureproof in changing it :D

[@stuartcraigon2003]

I was hoping he'd notice that mistake.

[@donmcpezorello7172]

As an Austrian it's so nice to see the 1042's on the Pax-Line! It's THE austrian locomotive! It was introduced in the 1960s and was planned, built and used for heavy cargo hauling, especially over the mountainridge Semmering, south of Vienna. In the 1990s many of them got modernised (now called 1142) and were then used as universal-locomotives for cargo and passager. After the introduction of the multipurpose locomotive 1116 (called "Taurus", Railjet-locomotive) in the early 2000s, the 1042s were used especially for passenger lines, because its characteristics were suitable for a push-pull train system. Nowadays you can find the 1142s still in use around Vienna, Linz and Graz on local/regional passenger lines. So much nostalgia, so much history, so much memories! Love it!

[@klokibril]

I bought this game two days ago because of you and Colonel Failure and so far I've put 14 hours into it, I love it. The campaign is worthwhile too, I had some great fun playing through the first chapter. It does get repetitive sometimes, but it's a great game. I can definitely recommend it to everyone!

[@chrisw141]

Love the series mate. I'm commenting before I've even watched the video. Just wanted to say keep it up great work ! I've signed up to geforce Now so I can play haha !

[@xathylos]

I can just agree

[@mukherjeesuniversum2665]

Please merge all the intercity lines into one main line keeping in mind of future high speed rail. The trains will carry more passenger.

[@littleabigail4328]

I think the Romney-Leigh busses are still old ones. They were 21 years old when you looked at them so bigger, faster ones might take some of the pressure off of that stop. Also, you could have done a Romney-Thatchem-Loughten line instead because Romney-Thatchem is looking like a busy bus line as well.

[@Nic0maK]

0% transported, untill it arrives at destination. Probably no ship transporting those grains has mad the trip yet. Edit : And yes i wrote that comment too early ;)

[@Torgonius]

I was about to do the same thing you did. Guess I'll see him get it in the next few minutes!

[@timbsy1987]

I am watching it now and jumped on to comment

[@WhatTrigger]

lol, dont you hate when you jump the gun in longer videos

[@dvdraymond]

Looks like your new high speed line is using the same passenger platform as the other passenger line that heads the other direction. Around 46:40 you can see the other train coming in from the top of the screen and stop when it got to the last signal before the station, because the high speed train was taking up the platform.

[@Nic0maK]

One tip for bus/truck stops, you can double them, one on each side of the road, it still counts as one station. When laying the route, it often picks the better side of the road.

[@henshel6461]

Not sure if you are aware, but you do not need road between stations. They can form connections between each others just being really close to each other. You can see that by seeing them forming footpaths between each other.

[@faustomarcellocorrera1877]

I'm liking this series a lot, great work! And I'm really appreciating the tutorial-like style, I think it is very effective in attracting new players, and about that, may I suggest you to use the "rate" feature in order to sort out how many trains/trucks you actually need? It is an incredible quality of life feature! You don't need to eyeball anymore

[@bradb1060]

I’ve been watching and waiting for him to finally use the line rates effectively. SMH lol

[@fuglbird]

Yes, the tutorial style that many streamers use are funny. Most viewers have already played the game a few times and are better at it than the streamers that play many different games. It gives a good laugh. I think all the good comments here demonstrates it perfectly. Some of the comments have been made before; but the good squirrel haven't noticed.

[@snowowlgaming7942]

Hi Squirrel, I love the series and set it up for me to try your challange as well. I have a small tip for you. You can connect train stations directly to a bus or tram station. The little footpads will also appear if you get the train station close enough to the bus station, this way you don't "waste" money on the little bits of road

[@klashnacovak47]

Thanks for the series so far. It got me back on the first game and trying the $1 billion and hooking up all cities challenge.

[@ipsi508]

Hello Squirrel, I have a suggestion for Airplanes. If you look at Sandhurst, you can make a train line to take wood to the lumberyard for planks, then ship them across the river to make tools, you can run trucks north to Bradford and South to Sandhurst for tool deposits. Then if you make a small cargo airport at the tool area you can run it to the north east of the map to Maplethorpe to supply it with tools by Airplane and have it collect some Fuel on the return journey to feed Bradford by Truck. Let me know your thoughts. I am currently setting it up on my playthrough.

[@food5487]

been watchin since the start, very good stuff

[@spook9780]

I'd love to see those planes , but I also can't wait for the hyper-trains

[@vincentfalcone8802]

absolutely loving this. helping me tons planning ahead where usually I would just build whatever fit at the time

[@MegaBadPat]

Not only is the quality of this series amazing the release schedule is also great! Keep it up, loving these!

[@baseballboy4494]

why can't you just make a big express line? start at loughton to mabel to thatcham where the line can split. one heading to the coast and hitting the city's/ the 2nd main line from princess to mitch. where it then heads to mitch. ( All the 2 lines will connect, not separate tracks) the 1st line can continue to ashlym and princess. Tracks 1-2 Maybe (express 1) ( Main line 1) Loughton to Mable to thatcham to ashylm to Princess tracks 3-4 Maybe (express 2) (Main line 1) Loughton to Mable to Thatcham to Romsey to Leigh/ or mitch perhaps (express 3) (Main line 2) Princess to Bradford to leigh to mitch. kinda by doing this, it brings everything together, just not all together. All are connected like real life. Multiple lines do connect at some point and you can train hop from one express to another to get to your desired spot. this is just a suggestion. Also sorry for the spelling of the city names.

[@MarkAlderson]

I have loved these videos on Transport Fever 2! I am going to start playing this on my own. Thanks Squirrel!

[@NapFloridian]

The controlled clutter is so calming lol

[@wyatt007]

Loving this!! It’s a good day when Squirrel uploads this series

[@bluetalon704]

Great series, regarding Mega cities you could use editor to add cities around the edges of existing cities and let them merge into one larger city of course they would act like separate cites but still would basically be one city.

[@mikkelmolesen5301]

Can we have more rides on the trians please?

[@koopilot90]

Nice video Tip: you can actually connect rail stations to road stations directly without the need for streets in between :)

[@shth34d57]

Sounds like you may need to upgrade your goal like you've been upgrading those roads and tracks! Road to 1 trillion!

[@carlbernbeck6161]

I don't really understand why you are making the incoming rail merge and not the outgoing. The incoming lines are probably at top speed and the outgoing are just leaving at low speed and will not have to slow down. It would make things a bit faster I would say.

[@TheKloro]

Had to subscribe as I catch up the series. Really enjoying the explaination of each decision

[@OnboardG1]

I really need to reinstall this. I had a little epiphany the other day which was that, with the lack of competition, you're essentially the regional director of transport for a state or region. Like the head of ScotTrans or something. Makes me want to play again for some reason!

[@notepid]

4 people on the train at the end of the episode, and it paid 69k. That means each passenger paid over 17k for a train ride.

[@RäcerDuvan]

You need to do a look on some of the trains, trucks and buses. Some of them are from like the 40 maybe.

[@lkslokinhow]

4:18 I have a game with cities going to 5k+ population. It is a traffic nightmare. Give it both cargos and increase the cargo delivery so it always have close to 100% satisfied demand. Make direct passengers connections to multiple cities. They will get huge.

[@dux8529]

I know you like to do as straight a railroad line as possible to get the most profit but I'm surprised you don't do any triangle intersections with the railways. When I set up my passenger rails and my busses(if I'm doing a circuit) is I like to have two lines, one going clockwise and one counterclockwise and if the middle gets saturated you can add a third line to supplement. Also I was thinking about the benefit of trams and the only thing I can think of is that trams can turn on a dime at the end of a tram line, so maybe it's better for a hub and spoke system?

[@TheSkogemann]

You can make ConMat out of slag/sand alone. So one slag makes two "bricks". You don't need stone.

[@RaceMasterDave]

@Squirrel : In your last pax-line (Romsey - Loughton), you didn't change the platform in Loughton, so those 2 trains you put on will hold up the other line coming from the other side, cause they also are on that platform :)

[@OrangeSkeleton1]

You have a pax line connected to a cargo platform at Loughton (loughton-mitcheldene)

[@axyei3030]

so jealous you make your cities this functionable in TF2. im absolutely terrible at managing traffic once they start hitting high pop. :(

[@sam8742]

Ahh yes the secret traffic management knowledge, only bestowed to people with waaaaay to many hours in cities skylines

[@lightning6117]

I didn't realize just how Australian you were until 31:50 haha

[@Stupops78]

Just A thought. sorry if it's been covered but when you have two bus routes in a city one is a loop and one a shuttle bus to the train station. Isn't it a good idea for the city loop to have at least one common bus stop with the shuttle bus to the train station. That way people can get to the train station from anywhere in the city by changing busses at the common bus stop. Maybe its not needed for the game but if i was planning a city in real life that would probabaly happen. ref: Aylesham at time 17:36

[@fishpop]

I was thinking the grain extension wasn't working cos the truck stop wasn't in the catchment range of the grain farm.

[@Doomsday14101]

There is a stone - con mat plant near hyde, next to the quarries. You were going to use trucks before you used trains

[@kenbarney3843]

You can grow a mega city by going into sandbox mode and placing a few towns near each other and growling them into each other.

[@zedvargplays]

It's weird how different languages change the definition of a billion, for me is 1 thousand million, so for me the series it's a long way

[@eavdmeer]

@@ymeshulin no reason to insult someone, especially when they are right! In British English, a billion used to be equivalent to a million million

[@zedvargplays]

@@eavdmeer exactly. I'm from Argentina and we have it the same way Just posting sometiing interesting, just to be insulted. Nice!

[@thelondoncheesehead]

The series is a good for new player's

[@Aramus67]

using your map and mods, the largest cities have gone past 4000 residents by the year 2000... mostly driven by intercity connections (private and public)

[@duphasdan]

29:00 Just move the bus station. Make a train line that does a wide shallow curve with tracks going over roads if necessary.

[@SiccaSucca]

Tip about trains: If you want to see how quickly they get up to speed, just configure the train to your likings and then hover your mouse over where it says Excellent, good, mediocre depending on how many carts you're running. There you can see how fast it will go to topspeed in flat terrain, hilly and max incline

[@LeeMcilwaine]

People trying to get out of Leigh as quickly as they can. No shock there..

[@Noblemarq12]

Great episode, I have been playing along, and I hit a Billion about a 3rd of the way through this episode, But am still following along.

[@spartan117zm]

I would suggest making less point to point train lines; in my experience trains tend to perform even better when they’re running with 3-4 different cities per line.

[@-GrumpyOldMan]

I'm a noob to the game, but my first thought was Squirrel should stop trying to point-to-point the pax.

[@baseballboy4494]

my thoughts exactly

[@christopherknight1851]

first thing in the morning on sunday and a new TF2 video with my cup of joe. thanks for another great video

[@QALibrary]

Paul saying he still got steam trains in 1968... British Rail did not get rid of their steam trains until 1968 - the last steam train ran on 11th Aug 1968

[@flaminG-Ghost]

A little question to ppl in comments (or maybe even Squirrel can chime in): For roads I notice squirrel taking the 4-lane instead of the 6-lane, what I do is have 6 lanes for country and cities and a few 4 lanes in cities, with the understanding that more lanes mean less traffic congestion at junctions so it will not slow my trucks and buses... Will it govern traffic a bit better or have no effect other than cosmetic?

[@The_GT1]

You need to build your headquarters

[@nickwade4529]

Never thought this type of thing would be up my alley But now transport fever 2 is in my steam cart ! Huge fan can’t wait to see where this goes Keep up the great work!

[@titwofsky]

Do you know you can see how fast a train gets up to speed ? Bottom right of the train when creating it, where it says total power, and "Excellent", "Mediocre", and such things about the power of your train, if you hover your mouse over that it says how fast you get up to speed! So that you can chose your trains with more wisdom ;)

[@GooseWaffe]

Love this series even if i am almost a year late

[@Jim.Hummel]

Like many others here, absolutely loving this series! Thank you, @Squirrel !!!!!

[@lkslokinhow]

44:37 I'm pretty sure that there is steam locomotives that can do 140kph and are cheaper.

[@CED99]

Flying Scotsman is 120kph is it not, plus steam will be limited to 140kph by the carriages?

[@trashfleet]

I would love to see plane starting some action tbh.

[@sedontane]

Maybe they'll be more likely to use the service if you rename Aylsham Sidings after the real station in Aylsham Norfolk "Aylsham - Bure Valley"

[@joaoroque5333]

It showed transport 0% in the grain because none of the grain had reached yet the alchool factory, it was on route within a ship

[@monkeyking0247]

Wow caught this one early and live the series and helping me learn

[@masongriffin-wakefield8389]

love the series mate but you should of used scotsman for the express its fast and you can get more coaches

[@TheSkogemann]

@21:00 - The transport only counts when the grain hits its final destination.

[@TheSkogemann]

@22:20 - Hahahaha, yup xD

[@trainzmarcel2074]

hey squirrel im really enjoying this!

[@danmaardeze]

When you couldn't find the tool to upgrade the tracks, is it bad that I was calling you a tool while watching? You got it, though ;-)

[@QALibrary]

wonder if Squirrel going to make it to a million subs by the end of the year!

[@valmue1]

Great serie, when are you doing some housekeeping and update your old trains

[@mackenzietidswell8161]

Keep up the good work I was wondering if you was going to play more landlord super

[@imoutodaisuki]

This 15:59 sound… it has almost the same sound as my notifications… I've lost count of how many times I checked my notifications and realized it was a game sound effect.

[@jianxiongRaven]

22:52 ignore me 😂😂😂😂

[@snipe86k9]

It won't say transported until the product is all the way to its destination.

[@CristiNeagu]

I really hate tunnels for road traffic... Wish you would use more bridges.

[@aaronmyles7948]

I love your videos

[@SonicSpeed0705]

If they make a Transport Fever 3, they should definitely make vehicle accidents occur and have a random chance for a vehicle to break down and require replacement. I just thought of this. It would be epic. Also would force a person to make multiple ways in and out of certain areas of the map, since an entire area of the map could be blocked off for a few minutes irl due to an accident that has occurred.

[@thomasvanderkooy6782]

The reason it said 0% transported is because the ships are so slow that it hadn’t arrived yet, it always starts at 0% and that only goes up once the deliveries reach their place that has demand for them

[@Fallub]

Yay. More TF2. Thanks.

[@peterjames33]

Hi Squirrel are you going to do mail anytime? Great Videos you got me hooked lol

[@jayamd3579]

the truck shelter is just unload, it doesnt store :)

[@Tropa1429]

Thx

[@Citybuilder161]

4:12 there is a mod to make it grow to like 20k-30k you should check it out

[@cohenwells8899]

I was waiting for this

[@R2_the_lime]

How about train tunnels to connect Leigh and Romsey?

[@jakezark]

oh yeah fuck yeah baby 50 minute episode (sorry for my mouth)

[@mihairobertduta8970]

maybe you aren't aware, but when configuring a train you can hover over the part where it says "XX kW, Excellent" or whatever, and it will tell you how much it takes the train to reach top speed on flat/medium/steep track. just so next time you don't have to do mental math with which train is slower, faster.

[@DaSpecialZak]

what would happen if there are 2 cities were close together and got to 3,000 big, would that create a massive city or would they not interfear with one another?

[@vincentfalcone8802]

you have to wait for the first delivery. edit: nevermind you got it (writing while watching)

[@BrandonVanHouten]

PLANES PLANES PLANES ✈️ 🛫🚀

[@giuseppemarchi3226]

nice

[@stefanqq1]

Hey @sky just asking don't know if it did already asking but are you going to do planes as wel ???

[@DaSpecialZak]

to have planes in you'll have to have them very out of the city cuz of the noise pollution

[@coucamaya]

Hey. Any reason you don't use one way roads inside of your cities?

[@vikramsaran3676]

Keep up the gud work😎👍🔥💥

[@steveamott]

I am very new to the game and would like to play along on the same map, I have put in the details: (Map details: Temperate climate, -1 Hills, +2 Water, 0 Forest, Seed: 0VjcYjYb, Very Large, 1:1, Medium Towns, High Industries, European Names and vehicles, 1900 start year) but i am not getting the correct map what am i doing wrong?

[@MrNikeLar]

hello, how about when you start a new series, try to play a experimental size map and with lots of uneven terrain, maybe with more mountains. I think it would be a great challenge

[@elliotward896]

👍
