What is Routebook?
Routebook is an independent field guide to Transport Fever 3, with a separate archive for Transport Fever 2. Each guide answers one question about building a network and links the manual page, patch note or review it relies on. It is not affiliated with Urban Games or Paradox Interactive.
What the check establishes
TF3 mechanics articles use the released official manual, developer announcements and current store information. Review pages name the original critic and tested platform; aggregator scores carry their observation date and sample size. Our inspection sequences are editorial suggestions.
TF2 puzzle guides use dated, first-hand community reports where a developer walkthrough is unavailable. Their source dates remain visible; a new check date does not imply a new solution.
