Engineering a $1,000,000,000,000 railway in Transport Fever 2!

8:09 Let's be honest with ourselves here Matt. You didn't build a road and two bridges just to deliver bread, you agreed to deliver bread purely so you'd have an excuse to build two bridges. (A very noble task)

"A fellow Brit told me..." Couldn't help but smile at this one. I swear Matt's alter ego is Spiff or they share similar music taste

I have been a C-130 mechanic for 11yrs. Not once has anyone referred to the ramp as a butt-flap, until now. Thank you RCE, I will remember to call it that next time I am working on the plane.

Builds high speed rails, uses the bridge with the slowest top speed. Top engineering, Matt.

You don't want grain silos next to other buildings. They explode sometimes.

Matt the first few min. : Lets place this carefully.. Nice i saved 10K! Matt 20 min in : The train station goes right into a mountain but it will work, Cost only 750K!

I live in Peterborough and I can confirm that the bread vs brick feuds that take place here are notoriously brutal...

Nice to see the Snow Piercer origin stroy in Transport Fever 2.

I love that this video begins with Matt explaining how positioning things is very terrain-dependant, and ends with him placing airports directly within the centre of the Scottish Highlands.

I can't believe he just called the republic of Ireland "actual ireland" 🤣 1:42

Don't forget to consolidate your routes. Example of a single route: pick up wheat at the wheat field, drop off wheat at the bread factory, pick up bread at bread factory, then drop off bread to customers. Ideally you would carry some kind of cargo back to the wheat field or nearby. "you only make money when you're carrying a load"

The grain bridge bothers me. Where do those buckets come from? Are they looping down underground in the factory, back over to the silo and then coming up through the silo? Otherwise, they'd just be materializing in the silo infinitely and then disappearing in the factory.

You used the slowest bridge type! There are faster ones, just click the bridge symbol (on the bridge) when building to change to something else :) That way your trains won't be limited to 35mph :)

10:00 The reason they keep the silo and the plant apart is because it's a grain silo. Grain has a tendency to get really dusty. And since grain dust, if disturbed too much can spontaneously decide to explode (that's not a joke btw, this is actually a thing. Happens with flour dust too.), keeping the factory a ways apart from the silo suddenly makes sense. That way if an accident happens you lose the silo and the grain, but the factory doesn't end up with a gaping hole in the side where a silo used to be. ;)

I'm quite surprised how well controller support works

Due to a short platform, the front 280 carriages will not stop at the next station. Please use any of the rear 4 carriages to alight at the next station. Doors will close 30 seconds before departure. We would like to apologise if you're still walking the 5 mile hike to the back of the train. We will arrive at our final destination in 1 year. Please do not leave the train while it is still in motion. If you see a problem, please report it by dialling 69096. We aren't joking. See it, say it, sorted. All our staff are elite athletes capable of running a 5 minute mile to assist you. Food can be purchased by visiting the food car at the front or middle of the train. We will then sprint to deliver you your food before it gets any worse than when it was loaded from the plastic factory in Scotland. Toilets are located at the front, middle and rear of the train. Please plan your visits with enough time to reach the toilet, as this train is 5 miles long. Please ensure you are carrying enough water and food. If you feel ill, please don't pull the emergency stop. It is faster for us to treat you at the next station. We will arrive in 69 days.

9:00 Bro really said “flatbreads” 😂😂

Imagine if you were waiting for that train to pass you, it would take years

I've never seen a 7.8km long train before. The longest train in the world is in Switzerland and is 1910 metres, so I think you've gone a little crazy there. Then again, it wouldn't be an RCE video without a little craziness. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I also feel like he forgot that the train has to finish a journey before passengers start showing up...

The grain bridge allows the loading of trucks via a drive thru style pick up for whole sale grain, as well as easy access to the adjacent building. A warehousing and manufacturing building very nice. Its freaking logistics man.. pretty dope
