      Definitely would love to have service vehicle roads in the base game. And the combination of the old milestone system with unlock points sounds intriguing.

        I love Transport Fever so much! That developer really listens well to the fanbase and have added amazing gameplay features throughout development.

        Can’t wait for more info, I am having a tough time resisting the pre-order button.
