Transporter

Transporter is a transport simulation game set on a classic grid environment. You build a transport company and create rail, road and water routes to move raw materials to industries, deliver cargo to consumers, supply power plants with fuel to generate electricity, and carry passengers between growing cities. Its simulation combines detailed logistics with options that range from automatic cargo assignment to orders for individual vehicles and cars.

Build your transport network

You can combine rail, road and water transport to create an infrastructure for moving cargo and passengers across large maps. The game includes 100s of locomotives, railcars, trucks, buses and ships, along with specialized options such as maglev trains, experimental hydrogen-powered locomotives and electric autonomous vehicles. You can configure truck rigs with multiple trailers and use tugboats with different types of barges, including river barges that can carry up to 9 different barges.

Stations can handle different kinds of cargo, and you can use transfer stations, rail switching yards and loop stations. Other logistics options include cargo refrigeration and detailed vehicle orders, as well as automatic cargo selection based on a vehicle's route.

Carry passengers

Intercity passengers spawn separately for each city and travel according to their destinations, so you build networks connecting towns. You can create lines for specific destinations, set up passenger transfer stations or let the system decide how passengers travel. Passenger trains can also carry baggage and use special railcars such as sleepers, cafés and diners for long-distance journeys.

Industries and cargo

Transporter includes over 70 industries and over 50 types of cargo, from farms and mines to modern facilities. A Material Recovery Facility processes recyclables, while an Electric Arc Furnace uses electricity to turn scrap metal into steel. You can move raw materials through production chains, such as delivering materials to make solar panels for a solar farm, or transport pharmaceutical materials to a hospital.

Modes and progression

Freeplay Mode gives you access to all options, while Career Mode starts your company from the ground up. Research unlocks new transport options and upgrades. Stations, vehicles and industries gain experience as the game progresses and can unlock upgrades or improve their stats.

Maps and scenarios

Procedural terrain generation offers options for creating large maps of up to 768x768 tiles. You can edit generated maps or make your own from scratch with the level editor, then create scenarios with different goals and rules.
