Transport Fever 3 Tycoon and Sandbox Difficulty
Understand adjustable difficulty and the option to disable the economy.
Tycoon has adjustable difficulty. The official overview also describes relaxing the challenge or disabling the economy for creative construction in Sandbox.

Match the mode to the objective
Tycoon centers on managing a transport company, connecting towns and industries, and balancing income against vehicle and infrastructure costs. The official overview describes adjustable difficulty, allowing the economy and the world’s response to suit different play styles. Contracts and loans are listed among the economic systems, but the source does not publish a universal setting preset or an optimal opening balance.
Creative construction is a supported choice
The developer separately describes Sandbox as a place for unrestricted creative building. The overview explicitly allows the economy to be disabled so players can focus on cities, stations, and dioramas. Treat that as a mode choice rather than an unverified money-making trick. The result you want from a decorative landscape is different from the result you want from a company-management challenge.
Avoid guessing settings names
These notes use the official descriptions of modes and difficulty. They do not claim exact menu labels, default values, or a tested very-hard strategy. Check the current game interface and the linked official source before relying on a setting-specific tutorial.
