Warehouse Basics
In this video, we cover the basics of warehouse use in Railway Empire 2. This is a major change from the way warehouses worked in the original Railway Empire and dramatically changes how the game is played.

In this episode, we see how goods can be transferred within warehouses in the same city and look at an alternative setup that moves our warehouse system away from the city stations.

In this episode, we answer two frequently heard questions about Railway Empire 2 warehouses. 1) Why is my warehouse full of stuff that I can't get rid of? 2) Why won't my full warehouse deliver to the city it is attached to?

Supply and Demand
In this Railway Empire 2 fundamentals video, we discuss what is supply and demand specific to Railway Empire 2, what do we need to know about supply and demand to get our trains to run, how to determine what the supply and demand really is, and how to easily calculate how many trains to run from rural stations into our cities or city clusters.

In this episode, we cover how to optimize the number of trains to use to support a city cluster. We look at how many trains to use to bring materials into the cluster and how many trains to run between cities within the cluster.
We also take a brief look at what I call "Set It and Forget It" where you set up a cluster to a certain level of growth and let it run on its own with minimal intervention on your part.

They overcomplicated the warehouse system making it as unrealistic as possible only so they can force a "new system" they thought out that make NO SENSE in the meantime at all, ruining the whole game by making it very difficult to deliver to cities for no reason at all. Very sad I can't refund anymore cause I barely play the game since the start because I hate this system to the bone while loved the first games system because it was rather like what we have in the real world.
