Transport Fever 3

From the Devs

Plan, build, and optimize! Transport Fever 3 puts you in charge of your own transport empire. From humble beginnings with horse-drawn wagons, steam trains, and paddle-steamers working towards the latest jet planes, supertankers, high-speed trains, and helicopters, you will build the network that drives the world!

Every delivery earns money, while every train, truck, plane, or ship increases your costs. You’ll plan and build profitable routes, balance infrastructure expenses, and invest in upgrades to stay ahead of growing demand.

With success comes the financial freedom to expand your reach, while earning the right to build world famous landmarks to demonstrate your achievements. Fall short, and you’ll be seeking efficiencies and improvements to propel your company forward.

As your influence expands, the needs of every city become more challenging to fulfill. There's no such thing as one plan that works forever, you will need to adapt, overcome, and solve problems as they come up, balancing your desire for growth with the needs of the populations you serve.

BECOME THE TYCOON

Build your personal transport empire by creating perfect routes to maximise your profits. Ensure that cargo and people get where they need to be, when they need to be. Manage and optimize your vehicle fleet, balance maintenance costs, efficiency, and priorities. Resolve bottlenecks and meet the evolving demands of dynamic towns and a multitude of industries that operate on- and offshore. Develop commercial centers, industrial powerhouses, and commuter cities by specializing deliveries and mastering every transport decision.

CONNECT THE WORLD

Connect towns and industries to fuel their growth. Plan and construct rails, roads, sea- and airways to build your transport empire. Grow tiny villages into major cities as you master traffic priorities and management systems. Analyze trouble using data layers and visual displays to identify traffic hotspots, delivery problems, or excessive noise and pollution. Make use of intuitive building tools to further optimize your network and grow from small country roads to highways and from old-wooden rails to modern high-speed tracks.

EXPERIENCE A LIVING SIMULATION

Every citizen has a home, a job, and places to go in the expanded living simulation, letting you follow each one along the way. Dynamic weather and a full day-night cycle let you experience your world in countless moods, from sunny mornings to rainy, clouded afternoons. Each of the four climate zones brings unique challenges, from temperate valleys and subarctic swamps, to desert plains and tropical islands, all demanding a fresh approach to your transportation strategy.​

PLAY IT YOUR WAY

Customize your game with multiple difficulty options, enabling you to create your perfect game. Adjust the way the world, economy, and its citizens react to your style of play.
