How this wiki is kept
Transport Fever 3 Wiki is an independent, unofficial fan resource for Transport Fever 3 players — not affiliated with Urban Games.
- How we verify: Industry recipes, cargo classes and town rules are transcribed from the developer-run game manual and checked against the in-game names shown in launch videos; where a dev blog and the manual give different counts, both numbers are shown with their source.
- Update cadence: Achievement rates and review numbers are re-read from Steam after each patch; recipe and cargo tables are re-checked against the manual whenever Urban Games posts patch notes.
- What we don't do: No reposted screenshots from other fan sites, no vehicle stats copied from unofficial lists, and no cracked-copy or key-reseller links.
