Station Placement

For Transport Fever 3 move buildings, the supported workaround is to demolish the placed station or building and build it again at the new location. September 30 player reports describe no built-in whole-building move option; whether later updates changed this is not confirmed yet. Moving something you've already placed by just a few meters still means rebuilding, unless changing the station's modules solves your problem.

Do I need to move the whole station?

Reconfigure modules — recommended for layout changes

Select the station and choose Configure. Modular stations enter a white configuration mode, with module tabs at the bottom of the screen. You can extend or reconfigure tracks, platforms, buildings, roofs and other modules within their positioning restrictions. Many modules can be replaced with others of the same size.

This changes the station's layout; it does not establish a way to relocate the whole station. Press ESC once or twice to finish configuration.

Demolish and rebuild — for a different location

For moving a building or station to another site, use the demolition-and-replacement workaround.

Pause and remove the old construction

Pause the game, enter bulldozer mode, and select the station or depot. Demolition requires confirmation. Holding SHIFT while clicking skips that confirmation.

Place the replacement

Select the station from the construction menu. Set its initial platform or track count and length in the settings on the right, then position it at the new site.

Fine-tune the placement

Use M/N to rotate and comma/period to change height. Hold SHIFT for smaller adjustments. Stations snap to tracks, streets or coastlines; hold SHIFT to prevent snapping. Check the cost preview and any warnings before left-clicking to build.

Bulldozing a town street also removes adjacent town buildings and bus/truck stops on that segment. Industries cannot be bulldozed. Buildings highlighted in yellow during station placement will be demolished, with their demolition cost added to the preview.

Can Move It relocate a station?

The Move It description available on October 6, 2026 covers road and railway editing, but says station-, depot- and industry-owned geometry cannot be rebuilt. Whole-station or whole-building relocation with this mod is not confirmed yet.

If your rebuilt connection needs attention, use the matching guide for train routing, cargo transfers, trains not unloading, or ships not unloading.
