This game is a shit show.
I bought train fever, I bought this.
This is like a bad patch and nothing more.
I really want to like these games. I really like this type of game, but goddamn these devs make it hard. So much broken and just working poorly.
boats? Slow as molasses. On top of that they can only take one type of cargo at once. If they want to do that for trucks, fine, but boats are huge. They're basically trains on water. They should be able to take multiple types of cargos. I know that was a possibility in train fever and they patched it out.
Traffic? A damn mess. No traffic lights, every intersection is a disaster. Bus lanes don't matter when cars are jammed through the intersection and no one can go through. Traffic comes on hard, regardless of how much transportation you give them.
Industry? Something is buggy about this. many users, including myself are reporting industries that just seemingly stop for no reason (no the cities aren't full, all the lines are still running) or fluctuate to great degrees.
Trains: They're okay so far, but I haven't really tried too many complicated things with them yet.
Upgrading is still a nightmare.
Upgrade a train station? Sure, great idea to include that, except that it removes all cargo and passengers, which with the new system causes entire industries to collapse. You can have a production of like 400 on a factory, then upgrade a train station and it drops to like 50 because a few goods disappeared. It doesn't recover instantly.
Upgrade a train? same as before, except doing so causes the industry to collapse slightly if it's a 1 train route.
upgrade roads? better, but if you get too close to a bus stop, all the people disappear. yay. Cars either disappear or randomly jump around.
Speaking of cars, cars seem to just appear out of thin air everywhere.
I remember watching a cargo line I had, and notice that cars were just spawning out of nowhere in the middle of the highway. Nowhere near a building, or city or anything. It's no wonder there is so much traffic when cars just spawn constantly for no reason.
upgrading track is a collision nightmare still. Even adding electrical lines to an otherwise normal track can sometimes cause a collision error.
Good things?
X track layout
20 minute rule gone
you can upgrade road over rails, sometimes... if the sun and moons align properly and you sacrifice the requisite number of chickens first.
passenger wealth - passengers will have a preference for bus/train/plane/etc
cargo type isn't hard coded. So cities can take multiple types of goods (6 total) and you can mod them.
still stupidly easy. My first medium map, I've got like 2.6billion in the bank by 2037.

Oh absolutely there is a tonne wrong with the game and a lot of stuff is broken (and that's why I didn't buy it yet), but it's still fun to play and even to play around these flaws.
I look at them like "fluctuations in the market" or stuff like that haha.
But yeah, there is a lot of things wrong with it and not working properly.

There is one mission about focusing on trains in the europe campaign but the main way to win is to spam buses
That's the kind of logic that made this game.

Yep.
I am struggling on the 2nd Euro mission, where you have to complete 5 passenger train trip across the bridge in one year.
2 trains didn't go fast enough, 3 trains neither.
4 trains would block each others no matter how I put secondary path and will run me bankrupt in a few years anyway... WTH.
Luckily there is no deadline on this goal, so I restarted, I took my time and built a solid money intake before trying this step again with faster modern trains.
EDIT : And done with only 2 trains running @90km/h 
This said, I am still enjoying the game, economy seems to work WAY better and on a more logical manner than in Train Fever.
I had hard time at first, but once you remember to go from demand to production (and not the other way) it goes smoothly.

Finished both US and EU campaigns and OMG...
They're so fucking boring.
Especially the EU ones.
It's just "set up a network and then wait for 2 to 3 hours for the conclusion".
I posted them all in my Let's play thread ->
http://www.nfohump.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2984626#2984626
If you want to hear me fall asleep while "playing" this game.
Free mode is fine, but the campaign is just retarded and so freaking boring and bad.
EDIT:
with that being said, they rolled out new patch :
| Quote: | Robustness patch released
NOVEMBER 23 - TOMDOTIO

Please find the complete release notes here.

On the one hand, the patch solves a list of stability and compatibility issues. Most of the crashes that occurred randomly, at the end of a month or upon user interaction are solved now. Also, most of the crashes that occurred on startup or during initialization due to specific system configurations have been addressed. However, note that still it’s of upmost importance to update your graphics drivers to the latest version available.
On the other hand, the patch brings a list of game-play improvements to clear some common misunderstandings. Examples include more accurate visualization of station catchment areas, a maximal waiting time for vehicles set to full load mode, or a new warning to display that an industry has stopped production because its output stock is full.
Finally, there are additional improvements, like a more stable display resolution change mechanism or an optimized terrain tool. Also, translations have been improved, and, thanks to great community efforts, both Simplified and Traditional Chinese were added as new languages.
For sure Transport Fever will receive additional updates, including the already announced major performance patch which is currently work in progress. At this point we also wanted to emphasize that we are aware that still there are compatibility issues on certain Mac OS X systems which we address with highest priority. If you still encounter problems, please don’t hesitate to write us to info@transportfever.com - we are happy to help.
We hope that the newest patch improves your game experience and send the best wishes! |
