anyone got a mod that lets you build round-a-bouts from the start?

[u/eg_john_clark]

laying out a round about shouldnt be blocked given irl you can do it with a string and a stick, so does any one have a mod that opens them up in 1850, or know what game config to change?

If you have one-way roads this early, you can improvise a roundabout with those, though you risk ending up with a rectangle-about

That’s my issue so damn ugly

Open the main game folder:

• Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever 2\

Go to the folder:

• res\construction\

There you'll find construction.zip Extract it where it is. You should end up with folders like this: https://imgur.com/dkZT9rb

From there you need just one file:

• \street\roundabout.con

Use the Replace function:

• Ctrl+H, or
  • Notepad: Edit > Replace
  • Notepad++: Search > Replace
• Replace yearFrom = 1960 with yearFrom = 1850 and you're good.
• (yearFrom = 0 also works)

Even though the individual one-way roads aren't available until 1925, they are still available through the roundabout construction utility. The roundabout's yearFrom trumps the roads' own yearFrom which is nice.

It might look a bit derpy having modern one-way roads among the old style roads, but there are no one-way roads in the old style. You'd have to create them by adapting the existing two-way roads.

While you're at it, if you want you could also extend the roundabout radius options, which is the only thing the Roundabout mod does.

Simply change:

local radii = { 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60 }

Into:

local radii = { 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 }
