► 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.

you need to add bus lanes to the four-lane roads, only your trucks will use the outer lanes meaning they don't get held up by other traffic

[@nzallround4723]

😂 he knows by now i swear hes just trolling us now from his first video to this that was the main comment, so when he got back he would have seen it atleast 100 times

[@user-ip6oq5nx9l]

You should use bus lanes

[@khannaraha8817]

Is that an update to the old saying? CS has "Real Cities Have Curves", now TF has "Proper Road go Swoooosh"

enjoying the series and seeing you try out a few new things for transport fever. I think you have almost got to the crux of some of the issues, but need to be brave to take a bigger leap. In this stage of the game you don't need to be worried to much about profitability and can go and overhaul lines (which you are doing), but you also need to start to break up the lines into chunks. Have an out of town hubs (similar to new point) and if the city size is big enough a more central inner hub. For the large out of tow hubs the large rigs can come and go, then run less vehicles but multi cargo to drop into town, and then have smaller less noisy vehicles operating a multi drop inside the city itself. This way you reduce the overall number of vehicles you need, you also get the benefit of not running big rigs through cities, and reduce congestion. Also you had the right idea earlier in the series of ring roads around the three big cities, you need to revisit this, but use highways, and have a decent set of onramps, and highway interchanges. These done need to go into the city, but try and think like cities skylines, with road hierarchy, and also the number of junctions you have. At the moment you are doing it with the smaller roads, but not using the highways to ensure the big rigs stay out of cities, and increase the speed they can reach, thus reducing the number you need. You need to start thinking less on managing the line, but going, how can I work this to reduce the overall number of vehicles. Whether this us utilising a hub model, or trains, or better road network, or a combination of all three, is entirely up to you. One setup I've seen before which took a while to build but was interesting, was to ship absolutely everything into a massive set of co located hubs via train, and then run road networks from that hub across the map. Was crazy! not suggesting you do this, but i think you can get a heck of a lot more mileage out of this series in terms of watching and episodes if you pivot to a mid/late game mentality of rebuilding around a specific plan and model (of your choosing) Anywho enjoying watching this series and really hope that seeing you already head down this route you continue to push yourself to take that one more leap!

I saw that big rig departing the NerdroSoft Headquarters Hardware manufacturing building. It must be delivering my NS Com-a-Door 46 to me.

[@weaponizedace3231]

46:25 NOOOOOOOOOOO THE MEGA TRAIN

[@virajsharma1654]

Bus lanes would really help ngl

[@antaryjczyk]

Instead of overenginnering it and constantly complaining about the amount of traffic, how about implementing what majority of the comments say.....USE THE EFFIN BUS LANES!!!!! Thats literally the solution to all the issues

[@Fjordaren]

55:56 This game! You set your lines and they always find some weird way of making you go "How did this end up here?"

[@khannaraha8817]

Okay, okay, I know that moving things over large distances gets a bigger pay out but taking oil from Tampa/Naperville area over to Kansas to make fuel when there is an Oil-to-Fuel plant next to the refinary and Tampa wants fuel just feels like you have something against the place. 🤔

[@LadyWarmachine]

5th episode of suggesting a significant investment in an extensive highway system.

[@nzallround4723]

He has to be trolling with 0 bus lanes on the big road and then moan about traffic

[@freckles20111]

@ConflictNerd you should do a series on Sky Haven looks a lot like Airport Ceo could be a lot of fun!
