Stuck on swiss mission of campaign 2.

Got all the way to I have to transport iron across the map as well as coal. But all the passengers stations say their cargo but when I put trains on em they say(route don't work due to cargo on a passenger station)... Soooo how do I accomplish this?

There is a mod for Tram-Trains, that allows you to use trams on the heavy rails. But is there a mod that allows you to put TRAINS on the tram tracks?

I would like to put my Duewag DT8.4 or Bombardier M5000 in my town. That could genuinely look good. Plus, I think it would be funny to have an ICE or Speeddance fly through the city as well. Any modders out there working on something like that?

If you could give me any Mods to skip mission or something would be helpful, thank you in advance i dont think any would even respond as mostly play TF2 instead of TF1

Farm Stopped Shipping

Hi, I'm new to the game. I was playing in free play mode and had a train line whose route was basically "city-farm-food processing plant" and back (may not be efficient lol), this line ran for 50 years more or less but now the products stopped loading into the train station and my cargos are empty. I checked the farm's production and it's still 200/200 and the chart shows how the shipping slowly stopped while the production is stable.

Side note: The game is Transport Fever 2.

Autumn Update Train Stations Not Snapping to Roads

I've been playing the game for years, and the feature from the Autumn Update I was looking forward to the most, train stations snapping to roads, isn't working. Does anyone know why this might be?

Maybe all of us play the rail system WRONG for all the time

Train Profitability with Different Number of Wagons

** Data for Russian Class GV are inaccurate as 40km/h is assumed during data collection

Foreword

I started playing this game just about a month ago. "How many wagons do I need? is always a big question in my head. Most of the youtube videos talk about advance tips and tricks, like cargo distribution center, or taught beginners to use road transport in early stage. But no one talks about how should we figure out the setting of a train, expecially in early years where our budget is tight. Despite the factor of cargo demand and supply (rate), I want to address the main question. “How can I maximize the rail transport with specific locomotive?” Therefore, I conduct the following experiments and realize that maybe most of us are doing rail transport wrong, at least for the locomotive released in 1850.

Quick Experiment Result

I believe most of us choose 6-10 wagons for 1850 locomotives. Yet, my experiment shows that it is not the best setting we can have.

Experminet Details

Process to obtain net profit per year

A total of 60 experiments (test cases) has been conducted for obtaining the speed-time (v-t) graph for each train setup by videos recording with OCR. It is noted that for wagons>10, I used 4x speed in game and repeated the same speed 4 times in post processing. The reason is I use 0.1s time interval and 6 frames is not divisble by 4.

After having the v-t graph, calculation to obtain distance-graph (s-t) graph is performed.

Then, Profit for one single transport per cargo is calculated by

(300.0 + distance) * basePrice * (cargofactor) * 125 / millisPerDay * difficulty

Reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/TransportFever/comments/ztpldt/update_payment_formula/

Before the end, the number of transport in one year is calculated by checking the time (in days) for one single transport in certain distance from s-t graph and divided it by 365. I counted the number of times (did not round down to integer) for the train to perform the transport in a year and multiply it with the profit each time per cargo. After that, I obtained the gross profit per year.

At the end, net profit per year is calculated by

grossProfit = profitEachTransportPerCargo * trainCapacity * numberOfTransportEachYear
netProfit = grossProfit - locomotiveRunningCost - wagonsRunningCost

Note

  1. When the train reaches its maximum speed, recording of speed is stopped. The speeds on remaining path is assumed at highest
  2. Net profit per year is calculated by assuming full load on both direction
  3. Running cost for railroads and stations are not calculated.
  4. Loading speed and deceleration before approaching station are neglected
  5. The net profit should have around +-5% error due to measuring inaccuracy
  6. Currently, all the data are obtained from flat and straight railways

Seasons in TF2

Is there a mod to bring winter/autumn to the game? I saw only night mod.

Another question: is it possible to generate a temperate map but with dry ground? Kindaike Texas. I've been playing with environment/climate setup - no luck. I know you can do this via debug mode, any easier way?

Thanks

How do i release my trains staggered?

Hi all,

Recently bought this game, absolutely amazing. I come from (open)TTD and I've been having a ton of fun watching my trains.. and playing a bit too.

So the one thing that has been frustrating me is in TTD, I could set my trains to "Wait until full". that was really useful to release my trains, and then eventually, delete the trains I had too many.

Is there any way to easily release my trains staggered in TF2? When doing a cross country route it takes quite some time manually releasing them in a staggered sense.

Regards, Brokkenpiloot

Pacific Paradise - Delivering Logs

I'm finding the completion checks very frustrating.. I had to deliver logs from Topolobamp Forests to Topolobamp .. I set up a railway station at both, rails., depot and trains.... But no logs appear at my station...

I try a lorry stop and hey presto they start appearing.. Why does it matter what transport I use (it didn't specify which)...

Hi all, does anyone know what catenary mod this one is?

I downloaded this one ages ago then eventually removed for some reason. It wasn't until afterwards when I booted up an old game. I realised how much I like the look of the one pictured.

I'm new to the game. Lines are set up, trains are running. How do I get them to put their product in my cargo station? Also, does my cargo station have to be connected?
