Railway Empire 2 Chapter 1 First Steps Guide
The first three tasks should be relatively straightforward, but reaching 25,000 citizens in Boston may require some additional effort. Increasing the population of a city involves meeting all the city’s demands. As the number of citizens grows, so does the demand for goods. You can check the specific goods required by the citizens of a particular city by selecting the city and examining its stock and demand.
To deliver 8 loads of lumber to Boston, you’ll need to connect the “Green Stop” train station to the Boston train station with tracks and then add trains. When adding a locomotive, make sure to select only freight as the cargo type to transport goods exclusively. When adding a new rail line, you can prioritize lumber by selecting the station names on the top left side, allowing you to acquire it more efficiently.
To find sugar factories, search between Portland, ME, and Bangor or between Albany and Boston. Place a train station near the sugar industry to import sugar. Connect the train station with tracks leading to the city, and add a train to initiate the import of sugar to Boston.
Portland, ME is located just above Boston. Connect the tracks directly and start a locomotive, selecting the cargo as express, which solely transports passengers and mail. This will easily fulfill the task of transporting 320 passengers, completing the objective.
Establish a direct line from Albany to Boston or consider a route via New York by placing a train station. Import beer from Albany to Boston to further increase the number of citizens living in Boston. Be cautious not to construct lengthy bridges or tunnels, as they can be expensive and may strain your finances early in the game. Once you have a steady supply of beer, the population will automatically increase, leading to city growth. You can also prioritize beer when selecting the cities to be connected by the locomotive.
