What this means for your first map
- Vehicles need Tires, and Tires come only from the Tropical tire factory. Check the chain finder to see how that chain looks in other climates.
- Books need Paper from the Subarctic paper mill, which in turn eats Sawdust from saw mills.
- Towns ask for more complex cargo as they level up (town levels), so a climate that lacks a chain caps what some towns can be supplied with.
Climate questions
What climates are in Transport Fever 3?
Four: Temperate, Dry, Tropical and Subarctic. Subarctic is new to the series. Each climate mixes several biomes whose weights you can tune when generating a map.
Which climate has the most industries?
Temperate 27, Dry 24, Tropical 27, Subarctic 27 of the 32 free-game industries, counted from the official manual table.
Why can I not find a paper mill?
The paper mill and printing press only spawn in the Subarctic climate, so Paper and Books chains only exist there.
