Hey bud. I just wanted to point out that by having your lines have 3 stops, you are causing there to be builup on other dropoff points that will never actually be picked up from. Materials are picked up and dropped off in the truck stops on the platforms connected to lines, and since you made 3 trips instead of 2, you are wasting a dropoff spot and resources. This will also cause unwanted congestion in the mid to late game. Your vehicles will arrive on one side, then drive around to the other side, causing congestion.
Hey Biffa, super excited for this, hope this becomes a series! I've had many hours in TF2, just couple of things I've noticed 1. When you connected the two roads about halfway in you used a city street and not a rural road, they have worse speed limits 2. When you do a line you don't have to specify that it has to go back to the start, it loops round automatically and by doing that you can create problems with platforms and pathing
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Please come back with an episode 2, 3, 4....lol Its laid back and in depth at the same time. I really enjoy when you setup train lines in any game. I would truly enjoy seeing them in this game😁
OH YES!!! i have hundreds of hours in this game love it glad to see this video :D PS nice start, you can have feeder lines those that drop off goods/ores etc at one spot then the main line is one that will pick up from 1 location drop off then pick up again to take back so they are always full while moving more efficient both ways.
If an industry does a 2 to 1 you do not need to provide resources from 2 industries, you only need to do that when you want to level up. 400 wood (does not upgrade) can be turned into 200 planks which is already 1 level up. And you don't need to do a stop to return, it will be wasted time because they will go back to one platform and then have to move again to the other platform to pickup goods. You can also set lines to use multiple platforms to allow for more trucks to load at once. For Machines you could actually transport them back with the existing route and use the closer station for the trucks to pick it up to the city. This evolves naturally towards the late game, but you don't really build point A to point B routes, you build hubs where any goods could go back and forth and then would get distributed elsewhere. That way, goods will naturally flow where they are needed.
A small tip. At the beginning when you set up the first plank line you can set the route from the machine factory to the log camp in between the machine and plank factories. The ai is smart enough to have the logging vehicles bring planks back for the machine shop to pick up. Makes thing more efficient and lowers travel time. Its possible to make large distribution depots using this method.
I’ve never really loved the transport fever games but I think the developers have a solid foundation for a city builder that I can definitely see myself playing. Fingers crossed?
Got this game in 2020. Watched just about all of squirrel’s videos on the game back then. 😂 there’s tons of mods for the game. I use realistic cities and auto signaling mainly.
I love Transport Fever 2 :) You should skip ahead to the 1900s, there is barely anything for the 1850s Oh also, you can extend the platform length to hold more recourses then adding the separate buildings.
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines I did, thank you. Like your content and style. I do have some comments on your game. If you don't mind me giving you some advice. Maybe you should use transport hubs so most of your cars are always full (they can carry all cargo). only lines with cargo to a city centre have to return empty. Also you get paid as the crow flies. So set op straight lines (maybe from somewhat further). And building warehouses like you did, wouldn't be my choice. I would invest in saturating the lines first. Also maybe you should have picked a different capital, as its basestat will remain that 50 number. Usually you pick a town that has a better base stat (150 ~ 200). So it can grow easily 3 or even 4 times bigger. Hope you'll continue this series!
It's been a while since you've played this game sir... First, you don't need 3 stops for goods and materials, just pick-up and drop-off... In the vehicle management page, you can copy the vehicles you have on that line to add the same type, color, and what ever other change you've made to the vehicles on that line so you don't have to re-configure each time... other than those two points, you're off to a really good start... Thanks for the video...
My personal goto on a new map is to see if oil, proces, fuel are nearby. If so I will keep the map and connect it all. Makes you money like no other business in my opinion. Anyhow, keep it going. I want to play the game again after seeing this ;) ps In my last run I had three rail lines go from east to west and also three from north to south. All trains could go on that without any problem. Lovely sight and big money was made :)
When you want to add more storage to a platform to keep it from being overloaded, you want to add cargo platforms connected to the existing ones to make them *longer*. The building you're adding is just for connections to industries at the other side, it doesn't add any storage.
Another one of my favorites!!! It's like you are reading my mind Biffa!!! I've just been taking a break from CS and started Banished and TF2 again!!! Love to see more of both!
Biffa buddy, doing point to point you don't have to send it back to stop 1, your effectively send vehicles to same stop 2 times in a row, just a heads up m8 😂
Biffa, you don't need the "and back again" part of your transport lines. Your wagons automatically go back to the start after dropping off the resources.
Don’t forget distance in this game. Set up local infrastructure and then if u can ship it out with trains or planes once u get there. Basically get a train that has profit on both ends and that’s BANK…. No need to worry about money again.
Yes!! More episodes please. This is an interesting game and I've enjoyed this first episode and would like to see more. As a question, can you set your vehicles to leave ONLY when the cargo is full? This worked well in Railroad Tycoon and I wondered if it worked here to max efficiency.
Great video! You've put too many stops on some lines. Because you're only doing a back and forth, you only need one start and one end stop, not clicking back on the start again.
Had to giggle, guess how many vehicles? yes 3 😆 I'm the same as you!! I have a number I use always and it's 3 also or 7 if I want more. Great job getting started🤩Please do more!!
you need to add many many many more carts on those lines, as they are only moving 4. you will make more $$$$ for when you want to dip toes into trains, as that's expensive when you first start
Okay, now you added one I have to watch, next to CS1 and Cs2 😮 I didn't want to start watching another game because I already have no time enough to play CS. But now you got me😅
This really seems like a fun game to play, i would like to watch more episodes on this. Also a question for you, when will you play manor lords, is the full version of the game out yet? And whats with Oxygen not included? Sorry for so many questions :) But I really enjoy your videos. With full support and love, Stjepko
Hey biffa i really hope you do more transport fever 2 videos! Maybe you could help me with my traffic if possible see if you're up for the challenge!? Lol
26:30 thats not how it works :D You need to make them longer (wich you blocked with the Building) to have more Space. You built the ability to have more Lines :)
You have so many industries that you should accept the 4 ressources instead of 2 to grow cities. It would vary your goods needs and incentivize you build real triage cargo stations...
Hey Biffaplays love your vids, thank you for the promo code on instant gaming, I was finally able to buy and play transport fever 2 and I am loving the game cant stop playing even at the office🤫. I am too scared to get City skylines 2 because my laptop would probably catch fire with just the start screen booting up 🤣🤣🤣 (it is old 😪) Love that you doing transport Fever 2 vids
Hey Biffa, just dont be so shy... add more vehicles to your transport lines... I never ever start with less than 5. .. jumping up to 10 or 15 very fast... 50% is guaranteed to be transported an selled... just add more vehicles for transportation and you'll swim in money...

I love Transport Fever 2, I love how modular the stations are. Really fun especially with UK mods
Thanks! @TechyMantis :-)

That bridge deserves a bridge review.
There's only one who could deliver!
I love Transport Fever 2. Thanks for starting this series. Very very excited to see what you do with this. Thank you
Glad you enjoy it!

12:48 you only need two stops, not three
Never played this game but looks even more fun than TTD. Big yes to an episode 2!
Transport Fever seems like a modernised graphical interface of OpenTTD but I still like it, keep up the great content.

Super stoked to see you pick up this game for a series! It's one of my faves right next to CS1. I'm +1 on having bridge reviews!!
I would love to see another video of this. I've always watched Biffa when I need to learn industry stuff in Cities Skylines and this fits right in .
I’ve never really loved the transport fever games but I think the developers have a solid foundation for a city builder that I can definitely see myself playing. Fingers crossed?
Definitely enjoying watching this and would enjoy watching Whitby continue growing though the years.

Love it.

I really hope that more videos is coming from TF2. Fells like a good game that is a good compliment to your channel.
That's the plan! Thanks :-)
Hey look a version 2 that looks like it works! very cool, yes to continuing the game series!!

Whitby, you say? You may want to be very wary about any derelict cargo ships nearby... or keep a good team of vampire hunters on standby.
eek!
Would definitely watch a series 👍🏻 I think the game compliments your play style perfectly
Yes, yes, yes... more episodes, please. Love Transport Fevel. Very exited to see you set up train stations and rail routes.
When building roads select the "don't own" option , that way your not paying for the maintenace of those roads.. Love TF2 , thanks for the video.
Thanks for the info!

you bet i need a part two
make it a series please
Love the 1st episode of Transport fever 2, looking forward to more episodes :)
I would love to see an episode 2, and 3, etc.
Don’t forget distance in this game. Set up local infrastructure and then if u can ship it out with trains or planes once u get there. Basically get a train that has profit on both ends and that’s BANK…. No need to worry about money again.
This game seems quite like the good old Transport Tycoon Deluxe in a new coat! :D
Yes!! More episodes please. This is an interesting game and I've enjoyed this first episode and would like to see more.
As a question, can you set your vehicles to leave ONLY when the cargo is full? This worked well in Railroad Tycoon and I wondered if it worked here to max efficiency.
You can yes and thank you :-)
Love you're doing a TF2 series. Seems like a small map, but probably works nicely for a YT series.
Didn't know about the date speed setting!
Great video! You've put too many stops on some lines. Because you're only doing a back and forth, you only need one start and one end stop, not clicking back on the start again.
Fair enough, thanks, will adjust those :-)
TF2 is in my library too.
I have many hours :D
You encourage me to play it again too.
Enjoy :-)
Finally Biffa I've been waiting for you to find this. There's a ton of mods and assets. 😊
Oooh nice! :-)
Yes, we need to see how your transport empire develops!
Had to giggle, guess how many vehicles? yes 3 😆 I'm the same as you!! I have a number I use always and it's 3 also or 7 if I want more. Great job getting started🤩Please do more!!
I've never seen this game before, so I'd love to see another episode to see where it goes. I look forward to it!
12:26 there is a quantity thing next to the buy, you can buy 3 that way
or just use copy paste button imho easier
@@Chronostra yeah, he could used either the quantity thing or just duplicated one truck twice/three times
you need to add many many many more carts on those lines, as they are only moving 4. you will make more $$$$ for when you want to dip toes into trains, as that's expensive when you first start
Transport fever series lets go!!!!!!
I love TF2!
No but seriously I 100%'d this game a couple years ago and it was a lovely game, definitely gotta revisit it sometime
Would love for this to be a series.
The video is already over. 🥺 Can't wait for the next. Thank you for the entertainment. ❤
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines I did indeed. I love to see you're giving older games a visit again like your new old Banished series.
Please do give us another episode or two or three or more.
I haven't used this in ages due to many reasons and must revisit Transport Fever 2 again.
Let’s go biffa is doing transport fever 2 :)
Every time you say "Whitby Tools" my inner five year old says, "*You're* a Whitby tool! Tee hee!" in my head.
Go for it, someone else has also started a new series.
This looks fun!
I am so proud. Thank you for noticing me.
Another game I would love you to play Biffa is Workers and resources: soviet republic.
Love it Biffa start of a great series i reckon ❤
Thank you @84parsons :-)
Fantastic, your playing my favourite game 😀
this was soo cool, part 2 please!
Nice video! Love to see another episode! 🎉
Okay, now you added one I have to watch, next to CS1 and Cs2 😮
I didn't want to start watching another game because I already have no time enough to play CS. But now you got me😅
Need to see more of this!
:-)
This really seems like a fun game to play, i would like to watch more episodes on this. Also a question for you, when will you play manor lords, is the full version of the game out yet?
And whats with Oxygen not included? Sorry for so many questions :) But I really enjoy your videos. With full support and love, Stjepko
If you go back through my last couple community posts on YT you'll find your answers :-)
Hey biffa i really hope you do more transport fever 2 videos! Maybe you could help me with my traffic if possible see if you're up for the challenge!? Lol

Finally, welcome to TF 2. I love this game, thought no heavy traffic to solve🤣🤣🤣. CS2 is my no go until it's more interesting.
I definitely want episode 2
Maybe I’ll start watching your other videos like this one, not just Cities Skylines. This video is intriguing me to watch your non-CS content.
Good to hear, thanks :-)
Yes!!!!!!!! Love transport fever 2
Hey Biffaplays love your vids, thank you for the promo code on instant gaming, I was finally able to buy and play transport fever 2 and I am loving the game cant stop playing even at the office🤫.

Yes episode 2!
Ep. 2 for sure!

Right, I'll bite 21:00 : Tools 1 = Planks 2 !
Really wish CO would look at how TF2 implements stations and look at incorporating something like it for stations in CS2
South Molton is an actual place in the UK
The names all are afaik :-)
Nice Video!
Sandbox Mode is NOT needed to run the date at 1/4 speed - that is a Vanilla option.
Oh really? I'll have to check that. Was going off someone else's video 👍
22:03 you just replaced a bus stop
Looking forward to when you start detailing
TRANSPORT FEVER 2 LESSGOOOO
Episode 2!!!
hooray...i love this game
Nice :-)
I'd take another video of this.
9:05 you need to match the production with the rate of each line that you make
More of this pleaseeeeeeeee
Another episode please!!
Not me procrastinating to create content on this game. 😂💔
Been playing the game for like 7 months now. Everytime I hit record, I get stuck..😂
Hopefully I can provide some inspiration! :-)
@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Definitely. I'm going to start soon. 🔥
The island of Teasmania
More pls!
Ep 2 please
Setting up bus Routes in a Town that has almost zero population early game is not a good idea, focus on resources to those Towns first
Yes, Please.
:-)
Oh yeah bring on epi 2,3,4,….
This game looks fun but i olay so many time sinks I've never pulled the trigger on buying it.
