I'm Hushey! I create awesome Transport Fever 2 content, including Tips & Tricks, How to videos, and of course the BRUTAL series which is the HARDEST Let's play for Transport Fever 2!
If you read this far, you could have started watching a video! Go, now! 😝
Fun fact, if you dont use any mods and dont edit thr game files in any way, you can still get huge cities. You need to have sandbox mode active for this and also maybe the no money/unlimited money mode would help too. Step 1: Place a "huge" city with the tool on a map. Step 2: click on the city and in its menu click "custom cargo" (or something along the lines of that, i cant remember rn) then untick all the freight options, and in the 3 numbers on top put in 800 in each (wont go higher than 800). Now just wait and watch the town grow :-)
Shame you didn't do an excell with the best early, middle and end game train based in the video. It would have been much more informative than just watching you react to the actual progress of the trains.
Hushey - Love your videos. Very informative . What are your favorite map seeds? Do you know if mod loading order matters? What are you ALWAYS load mods? - Im sure there are tons Have you ever setup a TRUCKING Distribution Center? Thank you for all your videos!
@andrius2254 yeah thats right yeah sorry, its on steam workshop. Idk if console has it built in or not cus it was quite requested. If not on console just search asset on steam workshop
Hey, could you do a series with normal gameplay? I would love to see how you manage your normal game, how you develop your cities and connections ❤ It would be great, i Wonder how you manage roads between cities, traffics and passenger transport. That would be great 🎉
So for the 1850's do you do a industry near city - city - other city - industry near other city train line or like a industry to city and to another industry along the way back? Like surely if you have industries near cities and connect them up then there's no deadheading at all, so maximum profits right?
@@Hushey 😀 - sorry, I'm an old fart - your tutorials are great - I'm on my 20th or so map, made billions in the last one but the rail layout was awful. Now trying out your hub and spoke system but what do the letters OP stand for? cheers.
Actually 75% of the trains drive on the left in the world, including France! [the other way round to cars etc.] I know some have both sides signalled, but things get messed up quickly if you do alternate which track you use @33:00.
Kinda hate having that many trucks though... And also changing every single line doesn't really make much sense if you're using the full output of that factory. It's only really a way to make more money from less resources mid game but you get overrun by things that actually need to be distributed by 1960's.
Theyve gotta get distributed somehow and lots of small quantities going lots of places trucks are really the only option. Really just keep up with the demand post 1960 its very possible as seen as in this video at the end
obvious question, but why deliver from distribution to towns only using trucks? Surely it would make sense to have mega trains leaving the distribution hub and stopping at all stations delivering all goods and while it's doing that bring goods from towns back to the distribution hub?
When you say its all automatic you confused me. The lines you set up telling the trains which goods to take where, load and unload options that you set. The trains dont just load what they need without you telling them surely? Great content btw. I have been experimenting with the hubs but run most cargo into the hub by train from the industries, seems to make it so busy I lose so much time with trains waiting for access. Also lose a lot of money.
Hi Azer, that exactly. They will auto load exactly whats needed. In terms of traffic issues make sure to follow correct train service hirearchy seen in my latest video and if there is a choke point add more inputs. Also, i recommend long trains for distribution, 680m long
Thanks for the video Hushey, i watched the 8min version you had and got confused this cleared alot of things up but i still have a couple questions im hoping you have the time to answer. I understand the whole DH SY feeding everything into it. 1. I understand alternate platforms for trains purely unloading does this also work with loading trains ( and trucks at depots) does the game automatically move the goods when the train/truck come in and choose a platform. 2. On your mixed trains do you just leave the Load goods at 100% and what ever it picks up it picks up? 3. Similar to Q2 trucks delivering to city do you assign it just to say tools and have a line for each good? or do you just have the 1 line and use the all cargo trucks? 4. Im a little confused about delivering goods to other towns. Do you always just use trucks from the nearest DH or SY no matter the distance? Sorry if you already explained some of these questions and im just a bit slow on the pick up. Cheers
Hi nuknuk, 1 Yes 2 Yes 3 Several lines dropping off in each city so goods are shared evenly not just to one place, with all goods capacity so it can take whatever. 4 After capitol has every good maxed out, a train can run back to SY, NY etc and then dispatch from there Hope this helps :)
As a console player, I can confirm we have the option to use all vehicles. We have most of the vanilla game settings, but accessing them can be a bit convoluted. That basically goes for most features in the game, but I still love it anyways :)
So, Hushey decided to become a professor of Transport Fever 2. The audacity to give us an one hour lecture on cargo transportation in the game. What a lad! 😂😊
Great video, thanks for putting out new videos on this game still in '24! So I do have a question, why do you have to wait until 1925 specifically to start with a cargo hub? What do you look for in your game that might suggest setting one up earlier or later is worth doing? I tend to double up early steam locomotives to get longer trains, is it just train length that you look at, or is it something else? I tend to focus on maximizing numbers on a single line at a time, bc I find that with some planning and enough volume, you can turn a profit on even a 50% deadhead truck line on very hard mode, as long as your line is straight enough and you throw enough trucks at it to overcome the infra costs. But that also means I have a ton of "extra" product to populate a hub with earlier than most might. Should I try for an earlier date because of that?
Hi Nick, it really is just a number target for newer players but you can literally day one do hubs if you want (but the trains are going to be terrible haha)
I always go straight to 30 vehicles on the first cargo line, use the rest of my money to pay down loans. Sit and wait for $900,000 to build a second line with 30 road vehicles. After my 5th 30 vehicle line, I have my remaining $1 million paid off. By 1857, I have 16 cargo lines with 30 road vehicles each and $28 to $32 million balance. It is quite easy to get started and blow up your balance no matter what your difficulty settings are. When it comes to trains, be careful or it will suck you dry of that $28 to $32 million very quickly.
Been playing since the first Transport Fever came out. I found your channel after looking up some tips and tricks to refine my game play a bit. Definately learned a few things from your channel. As a long term player, I learned alot by learning how not to do things. Transport Fever 2 feels alot more balanced and refined than Transport Fever did but the difference in the economy between the two games is huge. Transport Fever 2 seems to have much better performance and seems to handle alot more of a load before taxing your CPU.
People might be getting confused because these features are behind another menu or sometimes 2 before it Getting all vehicles requires you to edit the map settings before you load a game with Y on Xbox, or the PS equivalent, then you have to go to the "Cheats" tab on map settings and then find the On/Off for Enable All Vehicles Even then, I've personally found that trying to change the game settings in a game that has already been started is very finicky. Sometimes the changes will apply, sometimes they won't. Tapping the stick once will pause the time You just have to hold the right joystick on your controller to change the speed to normal, fast, and super fast I've only figured this stuff out by messing with all the buttons and menus. Advanced features aren't super well explained and map settings straight isn't explained at all
