If you want to have a better Cargo-part in this game use Mods as example Cargo_Mod or Kaleus_Industries as modified version from the Cargo_Mod. Advanced Industries is on its way and it will be mind blowing.
I want to try this to get more trains going. The only thing holding me back is that there is still only one Goods. This mod might be good tho, I don’t know yet but will try it eventually.
As I said a few posts before, Train Fever is a “basic game” with an excellent Mod-Support.
I’m starting to understand this myself now but for passengers, it’s pretty good except in the later years when the traffic jams screw everything up. If you like creating a passenger rail network, I think the game is good for that minus the performance problems. I like running cargo trains tho so the game isn’t as exciting for me. I do setup passenger trains and buses but not as much as some.
I just tried something to stop the traffics jams. Someone posted a mod that slows the speed of the cars down to 50mph so the people would use more buses and trains. I’ve heard that it worked and I changed my cars to 20mph and tried it. After updating the roads to get rid of the clutter, there were still a lot of cars coming out. So I changed them all again down to 2mph. And now it’s nice. No more cars screwing everything up. My buses are running again and my trains have more passengers again. And only a few cars driving around here and there. You might can go to 5 and see if you like a few more cars coming out. I’ll keep mine at 2.
If you want to stop the traffic jams, either download this mod;
Or if you know how, change them yourself to 2mph and try it yourself.
Open the .mdl files for the cars and search for ‘topSpeed =‘ and change all of them to 2.
There are only 5 cars to change.
The path for the car.mdl is here – SteamApps\common\Train Fever\res\models\model\vehicle\car
Open them with a text editor. I think you’ll like how this works.
