To rotate objects in Transport Fever 2, use the right mouse button or R key to rotate clockwise, hold Shift to rotate counterclockwise, or use the mouse wheel to cycle through rotation angles.

Transport Fever 2 offers multiple methods to rotate objects during construction. You can use the right mouse button to rotate clockwise, hold Shift while rotating for counterclockwise movement, or use the mouse wheel to cycle through available rotation angles. The game also allows you to rotate objects before placing them on the map, giving you precise control over their orientation.

Rotation Methods in Transport Fever 2

  • Right Mouse Button: Click and hold to rotate objects clockwise
  • Shift + Right Mouse: Hold Shift while rotating for counterclockwise movement
  • Mouse Wheel: Scroll to cycle through rotation angles
  • R Key: Press R to rotate objects (default clockwise)

Tips for Effective Rotation

When rotating tracks, roads, or buildings, pay attention to the snapping indicators that appear. These show valid connection points and help ensure your rotated objects align properly with existing infrastructure. For complex junctions or intersections, rotate incrementally and check the preview before finalizing placement.

Common Rotation Issues

Some objects have limited rotation options due to their design or terrain constraints. Bridges can only be rotated along their length axis, while buildings typically have 4-way rotation (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°). If an object won't rotate as expected, check if terrain or nearby structures are blocking the rotation.
