Transport Fever officially announced!

Hi,

A suggestion that could add a lot of gameplay:

The ability to create your own expansion packs, ie use the dlc folder to create a British folder or a german folder thus giving you just the trains stations etc you have added, whilst still being able to add others during the start up screen.

hope this makes sense,

Cheers,

Jim

Nice one mate, I’ll have a look tomorrow…

 

first british loco mod 🙂

[DrunkenJim]

hmmm can’t edit my previous post? anyway, to add to it…

 

• custom makeable maps would be greatly appreciated.

 

• the cargo system would benefit for a different timescale to the pax (maybe 40 minutes instead of 20?).  This way you could have large manufacturing plants serving the entire map with a decent network taking goods to it.
• instead of the goods just dissipating from the towns station/depot, you could add a local delivery system, small vans etc.
• mail should be added as an extra intercity goods type, this would also benefit from a network of small delivery vans..

 

• A lot of people want boats and aircraft, i’m not sure aircraft would work in map, small river barges might be do-able.
• However you could add an airport and seaport as an off map hub for pax and cargo.  this would add an extra dimension to the game.

I would really like the cities to grow bigger faster and bigger so it’s more realistic to have trains run between them

 

• Tbh i would like a larger variation in town sizes, smaller villages with branch lines feeding pax to jobs in the larger cities.
• I would love to see larger maps with the same number of villages/towns/cities to give the lines a better feel, nice long intercity lines with shorter feeder branch lines, the train variations would start to make a lot more sense.

 

• The maps need a greater variety.  Coastlines, Estuaries etc

 

• as mentioned before stations need a complete overhaul, they need to be upgrade/downgradeable both in length and platform numbers. amalgamating pax and cargo.

 

• With the number of mods, the vehicle buying screens also need an overhaul.  i.e. tabs for trains/carriages/wagons.
• There needs to be a single selection for a train type, with a sub menu for the repaint.
• At the very least there needs to be a way of scrolling down through the list without endless mouse wheel scrolling.

 

• As discussed many times, the timeline needs a major overhaul.

definitely agree, the number of accessible doors (if the platform is too short the doors cant be accessed) should determine the number of pax able to board at a time.

[DrunkenJim]

for me this is one of the most annoying things in the game, the stations should be modular.  If you need an extra platform you should be able to build one, or just delete if no longer required.  As said above pax and cargo stations should be mutual.

I also think the bus/tram stations should be able to form part of the station itself (possibly a car park as well if you want to build one?) again using a modular system.

lastly there should be a way of making terminus’ both as a station and for individual lines (see cambridge railway station)

Hope this makes sense…..

 

cheers,

Jim
