FAQ
Where should I start?
Open Attention on map.torquetycoon.net, choose a shortage, and plan a short route from the required cargo to its destination.
For coordination and help, join the Torque Tycoon Discord.
Why can I not load another crate?
Your aircraft must have both a free cargo slot and enough remaining CTLD cargo-weight capacity. A heavy crate can reach the weight limit before all slots are occupied. See Cargo weight and aircraft capacity.
Why is "Cargo Sites" empty?
It lists destinations for cargo already loaded aboard your aircraft. Load a crate first, then select Refresh nearest sites.
Why can I not spawn a crate?
The current site may have no staged stock, your aircraft may not be assigned to a nearby site, or that cargo may not be produced there. Check Show stock here and your position.
Why was my crate not delivered?
Common causes are:
- The destination does not accept that cargo.
- The crate was dropped outside the delivery zone.
- You are at a different site with a similar name.
Confirm the cargo and destination on the map, then unload close to the marked site center.
What do Fill and Supply mean?
Fill is the current warehouse level. Supply reacts more slowly and represents the site's actual supply condition. A delivery may raise Fill immediately while Supply takes time to follow.
Why can I not see the smoke?
The marker may have expired, still be on cooldown, or have been cleared when you arrived. Refresh Navigation and deploy it again when available.
Does progress survive a restart?
Yes. The economy, crates, and supply state are stored by the server and restored for the next mission.
Must I keep supplying the same region forever?
No. Players drive initial development, while stabilized regions receive basic support. Return when the map reports a new shortage.
What is a Settlement?
Hubs and Cities are collectively called Settlements. They still behave differently as delivery destinations, but they share the same activation, level, and project system. See Settlements & Projects.
Why can I not deliver to a site I just found?
A newly mapped site is often inactive until it receives an initial delivery of a specific cargo, shown on the map/F10 in place of its normal stock. See Settlements & Projects.
What is the Reserve, and how do I spend it?
Non-Food cargo delivered to a Settlement banks into its Reserve instead of being consumed right away. Spend it on projects through F10 > Other > Tycoon > Projects at that Settlement. See Settlements & Projects.
What is the difference between Trust and Security?
Trust is per Settlement and reflects how well its Food supply is holding up. Security is per region and reflects how safe the airspace is. See Security & Threats.
I got a warning message about an attack. What do I do?
Your cargo flight is being ambushed. An enemy group has spawned ahead on your flight path. Defend yourself or press on and accept the risk — taking damage reduces your cargo's value, and getting shot down drops your crates at the crash site. See Security & Threats.
