This is by far the clearest explanation of Transport Fever's supply chain mechanism I've seen. Well done. There seem to be a lot of negative reviews on Steam mainly because they don't understand this mechanism.

Excellent and easy to follow tutorial on how demand leads supply economics in Transport Fever.

[@dcl4dg]

This a very excellent presentation. Informative, clear and concise information. The best part, the narration. No pointless waffle, just straight to the point. Great stuff Sir. Have a thumbs up from me.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Thanks very much! :)

[@moodymysta]

FINALLY !!! You've made it clear ! I have struggled for so long trying to work out how to increase the production !! HERO !

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Glad to help out! Took me a while too.

[@EmilC2012]

I'm late to the party with this game but this helped me quite a bit for my freeplay mode outside of the campaign. and I also realized how important pausing during these thought processes is quite important. thank you!

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Glad to help out!

[@dpraptorP]

Nice tutorial! So keep adding towns (and building them up) to the product line, which will increase the demand and the production. Makes sense!

[@mikesimulation8019]

You are a GOD! Thank you so much. I didn't realise that I was required to move the food off the train line and transported to the commercial area. Now my production is sky high!

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Nice work! Now rake in the profits :)

[@mikesimulation8019]

@@Stealth17Gaming Indeed, I now have $3.1 Billion (I was up all night xD). I was considering giving up on this game before I watched your video. Thanks again :)

You probably know this by now, but just as a tip to any TF starters regarding food supply lines (which are one of your best early game options for freight in the game). Farms can produce livestock, grain, or both. So when doing a run from farm to factory, and exploiting back-hauling (getting your trains to carry goods both ways, and hugely increasing your profits). You should fit the trains with goods cars (which carry livestock) only, not flat open cars (which carry grain). This will slow the very start of the production at the farm slightly to begin with, as it will need to switch from grain to livestock. But this is far outweighed by the huge benefits of being able to run your trains full both ways. The goods wagon cars can carry both livestock in one direction, and then the finished food product back again. All cars available in both directions! This approach work great with livestock/food, and also with crude oil/fuel, as the tanker cars can also potentially use all cars to carry both resources and so earn money in both directions. Efficient one-way lines can make a decent profit. But lines that carry both ways make lots and lots of profit! As effectively the back-haul is cost free. The costs do not increase at all from those of a one-way line, but the income of course can easily double. Great explanation for the nature of the game mechanics btw Stealth17. It's all about the end-user/customer demand. That is the key thing for players struggling with production should keep in mind. Particularly those who are new to the game and quite reasonably expect growth to be supply driven. It's not. Demand at the end point is the key driver to growth in all your supply chains and passenger lines in the TF world.

Thx for the explanation, before this video i was just playing Transport Fever just like OTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe) but now i know they have way different economy and production mechanisms

[@davebanzai5570]

Excellent instructional video one of the best I have ever seen for TF! more please!

[@loonyawesome3450]

thankyou, that was very useful. even though you released this 3 years ago its still very useful

[@DrHappybone]

Had this game for a while and never could figure it out properly. I could make money but it wasn't as good as it could be. Between this video and your explanation of train pathing with signals, I'm now re-invested in making t5his game work! You rock, dude!

[@jamesp5343]

You're a freaking life saver! Been sitter here in Pisstburg for 2 days tryong to figure out why I cant produce the 100 machines. Turns out I had a bunch made, but I was backed up becasue I wasnt actually delivering them to town!! Now I can play the game, haha.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

It can be so frustrating that the game doesn't explain it to you in the first place! Now enjoy ramping up production :)

[@groundslothjiujitsu627]

Well done my good man.

[@joshuadoll9000]

I found this a couple days too late. I just picked up TF a week ago and have been playing the heck out of it. I was struggling to get my boats and trains to load more than maybe a dozen resources and whenever I clicked on an industry it just said to ship more so I was constantly buying and adding more trains and boats and just having huge losses. I did the final destination distribute to a city but I didn't realize that the city demand is actually what determines the production capacity. As soon as I hooked up a couple more cities to it production ramped up and my trains and boats were running with relatively full loads and actually making me money.

[@highvoltage816]

Very well explained thx

[@uwuowo3551]

Helped so mutch

[@marioaveiro1118]

awesome man thanks, just one question, when you set the line for freight transport do you set it to only pick up what is available or to stay until is full?

[@Stealth17Gaming]

I pick up what is available. The trains have a flat yearly rate that you have to pay. I'd rather have a half-empty train that's still making some money, than a train that is just sitting still for most of the time not making me anything. Also, consider that if the train is not moving anything the industry it's connected to won't get anything and everything can grind to a halt.

[@crazycrab8578]

can you not add an extra train, so both stop at chrischuch, drop off and pick up

[@phillipssimracing9585]

Very great description, but what if i was to connect 1 food plant to 2 citys. Would that be a smart move or no? I commented that at 11 minutes, nevermind. Thanks for the great video!

[@mrhitisnumberone]

KandN CupSeries yes it would.

[@drac124]

Still don't understand why your demand is 53 or 54 and the production is only 10. Shouldn't you at least be able to delivery 53 even not growing the town more?

[@BigLarry1950]

A lot of what you say makes sense. I play TF occasionally, but I always go broke before I get to 1900, I start in 1850, LOL. I also play the truck sim. games. I will look for other videos from you if available. Cheers from USA.

[@charlesfowler4308]

It would be better if you said consumer or final consumer instead of "final damander". U should find this quicker, easier and it's better English IMO. BTW your English is great for a non native speaker. I know it kinda makes sense to use demand as that is what the game mechanic but like I said this is just my opinion. :-)

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Excellent point. I just couldn't come up with a better word for it, but consumer makes way more sense. Thanks! :)

[@floppydolphins4123]

I have a serious problem. An industry keeps asking me to "deliver more cargo" when I have a train that can transport it all. But the industry stores a good chunk of produced goods and refuses to transfer them to my line; it just keeps them stored. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with my issues. Thank you. - Zachary Sands.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Are you exporting the goods that the factory is producing? If not it will refuse to deliver them to your station.

[@mrhitisnumberone]

Stealth17 Gaming yes to the point where I am waiting for it to load my train.

[@drac124]

Same problem here. Noone can give a clear answer to that.

[@DavidBrown-in3oj]

This was great, but what I really learned is that you can transport goods from a train station to a truck depot. Well done.

[@aminh1831]

I can't get the production to 1600 help me

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Are you creating enough demand?

[@aminh1831]

@@Stealth17Gaming wow this was quick...... Yes its a refinery and its connected to 5 big cities but fuel production won't go higher than 900

[@Stealth17Gaming]

What is the combined fuel consumption of all the cities? If it's less than 1600 it won't produce enough.

[@aminh1831]

@@Stealth17Gaming I connected it to 2 another cities and the consumption is around 2500, maybe its becuze I'm running a 2016 version and it's a bug

*I don't know about the first TF. But in TF2, everything they say about you having to complete a full supply chain for transport and production to work is total and utter bullshit by idiots who skipped the tutorial and never got a good hang of the basics of the game mechanics. In TF2, and perhaps TF1, you do not need to, say, go from farm to food processing plant to city. You just need to go from farm to food processing plant. And the plant will buy everything you transport with virtually no limits.*

[@NightravenVF]

This is true in the second game. In the first game you have to complete the suppy chain to get the production going.
