Transport Fever 2 Known Issues, Workarounds and Fixes

Mod scripts depend on another mod’s load order

The official manual explains that a script dependency may need to load before the mod using it. [1]

Documented steps

1. Activate the required dependencies. [1]
2. Use the mod author’s description to determine the required order and incompatibilities. [1]

A manually installed mod is invisible

The manual requires a mod folder named author_modname_number, with a trailing version number of at least 1. A missing trailing number prevents the mod from appearing. [1]

Documented steps

1. Use the documented author_modname_number folder format. [1]
2. Remove the extra nested wrapper directory so mod.lua sits inside the mod’s own folder directly under mods. [1]

A save lists a mod with a red triangle

The red triangle means the game cannot find a mod. The manual lists mismatched foreign-save mod sets, Workshop update problems and removed Workshop items as possible causes. [1]

Documented steps

1. Follow the missing mod’s Workshop icon to its page and subscribe if it remains available. [1]

Removing a mod compromises an existing save

The official manual warns that deactivating mods may seriously affect save integrity. Its compatibility indicators are estimates supplied by mod authors and cannot establish every combination as safe. [1]
