Transport Fever 3 Industries — Count, List & Production Chains
Transport Fever 3 Industries
Quick answer: the official manual names 32 industries in Transport Fever 3, including off-shore sectors such as fishing grounds and oil platforms. Steam's store copy says "over 35 unique industries" — both figures are official, and this page lists the 32 that are named. The manual also publishes each industry's inputs, outputs and production ratios.
What's officially confirmed
The First Look Episode 2 page confirms these industry and cargo features:
- Redesigned cargo simulation — the goods-flow system was reworked from the ground up, giving you full control over loading and unloading
- Demand-driven expansion — industries expand based on demand, with production boosted by transporting workers and optional inputs
- Warehousing & specialised terminals — new storage and transshipment buildings, plus dedicated loading infrastructure for certain goods
- Full delivery-chain control — you assign specific cargo to each segment for the first time
- Sub-arctic environment — one of the new terrain/climate settings
Count: 32 named vs "over 35"
Two official figures describe the industry count:
| Figure | Wording | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32 | The manual's Industries & Cargo table names 32 industries | Official Wiki — Industries & Cargo | Official (named list) |
| over 35 | "Over 35 unique industries, including off-shore sectors such as fishing grounds and oil platforms" | Steam store page · Official game page | Official (marketing count) |
The manual does not explain the difference, so this page does not invent an explanation. The 32 below are the ones it names.
The 32 industries (official list)

How industries, cargo and vehicles connect
Industries aren't standalone — each one is a node in a chain that vehicles service:
INDUSTRY —produces/consumes→ CARGO —transported by→ VEHICLE
↑ │
└──────────── belongs to PRODUCTION CHAIN ←───────┘
- An industry (a mine, farm or factory) produces or consumes specific cargo.
- That cargo determines which vehicles you need — liquid needs tankers, bulk needs open wagons, goods needs closed vehicles (see Cargo List).
- The whole flow forms a production chain from source to city (see Production Chains).
So when you pick a vehicle, you're really picking the cargo it can move — and that cargo is dictated by the industries on your map. The three pages below are meant to be read together.
