I’m an addict, or almost. 500+ hours of Train Fever means I at least have an notion about how it behaves. And maybe it takes some time and effort to get things placed, but that is not a real problem. I’m really annoyed about the 20 minute rule for Cargo!

I’m playing mostly on the largest mountainous maps with sparse industry and villages. And all works rather well. People take the bus/tram/train when they have the opportunity.  They even take, during the early game with slow steam, the long stretches of 15-20 minutes of travel time to get there. But Cargo???

Cargo is a disaster with the 20 minute rule! Even when the distance is about 12-17 minutes, and  getting the frequency time to 2 minutes, having a ton of vehicles to carry stuff. But the industry is very unstable with “line usage” coming up and dropping every couple of months. No matter how much vehicles I put onto the line, no matter the speeds at which they are transporting. Apparentlty the system estimates on a very unstable way the 20-minute limit of a route. Sometimes line usage is “yes”,  sometimes “no”, changing every few months/years, without me touching anything.

The 20-minute rule for cargo has to go! It is frustrating to see a perfect network not functioning. Maybe on a small or medium map all works well, but on large it doesn’t. Please fix this…. PLEEEAAASSE. Because beside this problem, I adore the game, even with the small placement glitches.

Best regardsYeol the Clumsy.
