Logistical The Netherlands

LOGistICAL The Netherlands is an expansion to LOGistICAL, a large open-world strategy puzzle game about transporting cargo to complete towns. This pack covers the Netherlands and can be played independently of other LOGistICAL packs, or alongside the main game and other add-ons. It has its own money, trucks and challenges; after completing the tutorial, you can begin playing it. The map follows the Dutch countryside, including tulip fields and windmills, and contains over 650 towns to complete.

Transport and supply cargo

You start with a new bank account, some cash and a supplied vehicle. You transport different cargoes to meet towns’ needs, choosing your own order: some towns are easy to complete, while others require more complex planning. Towns consume the cargoes needed for their completion, and you earn bonuses for finishing regions and contracts.

Some cargoes are readily available, while others must be produced in industries. You can use existing industries or build your own, subject to the landscape and environment; industries can also be upgraded for exponentially greater throughput. Not every industry has a natural resource, so shipping ports can help supply what you need. Cargo stores are another resource, and the Netherlands is described as a strong trading partner.

Trucks and roads

Your truck fleet is limited to 8 trucks of 8 tonnes, 3 of 20 tonnes and 2 of 40 tonnes. Larger trucks can move more cargo, but cannot travel everywhere; building up their power-ups can make some larger towns easier to complete. The last truck to deliver receives the bonus. You must upgrade some roads to let trucks travel throughout the map, and broken roads need deliveries to be repaired. Trucks cannot take ferries across water, and routes also include quarantine checkpoints.

Towns and achievements

The towns and map are to scale, with industry locations based on current or historical placement. Completing towns, roads, industries, contracts and regions earns in-game and Steam achievements. The broader LOGistICAL game contains over 1,000 towns, with bonuses for completing regions and contracts; its base game covers Australia, from Sydney through its regions and states to Tasmania.
