Before you decide
Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.
- Trace one cargo item from its origin to the destination.
- Check station queues before expanding the fleet.
- Review city ratings after a major infrastructure project.
- Compare scenarios with the same difficulty and economy settings.
A mistake to avoid
An expensive, faster vehicle cannot by itself remove a queue at an incompatible loading terminal.
