They absolutely need a better map generator tool that would actually make varied maps with lots of water that would require boats and planes. The game just isn’t optimized to make them useful. There just seems to be no reason for them. Moreover, I really consider the ships and airplanes to be irrelevant at least in free play. They just didn’t manage to improve the UI more than a little bit in this iteration.

Why isn’t there more warning when two trains are deadlocked on a poorly designed section of track?.

Why do the little mini-depot UI windows jump around as you’re selling things? I get that they’re docked to the edge of the screen unless you sort of “pop” them out as the full depot window, but it really makes it hard to sell multiple things.

Why in the world is the add catenary tool the same as the remove catenary tool?! Instead of spamming clicks you have to carefully, carefully hover over a track section and wait for it to light up green to make sure you’re not inadvertently removing the catenary you literally just built a moment ago.

Why is it so hard to find out how old individual cars in a train are in the Depot UI?.

It always takes too many clicks to do things, and some of the UI choices are just baffling or unfriendly. I like it a lot and I do feel like I’ve gotten my money’s worth already having played 50+ hours but I’m still a little disappointed that some of the quirky interface issues just seem to be either as bad or worse.

I don’t really see this as being much more than a version 1.5. Having said that, I am a little surprised at how little it feels like they added. The freight production chains were totally borked and weird in TF and I’m pretty happy with them in TPF. The fact that it’s easier to build tracks in tight situations and that you get fewer “can’t build here” type messages is a huge win.

On the one hand I think there are several pretty significant improvements over Train Fever. I skipped the campaigns and just went straight to free play.
