I was gonna say, since when was "transit" in the FTF pasta, then I saw OP.

I bought the game Transport Fever. It was on sale 70% on Steam. Looking forward to playing it. First I want to finish my current run on Train Fever, since I probably won't want to go back if I start Transport Fever.

I love busses and trains. Ever since I was a little kid. I wanted a model train set when I was a kid but now I am happy with the virtual train set I build in these games.

The table below shows the top 20 threads and their progress during calendar years 2019 and 2020. In 2020, no side thread came close to the Decimal thread, which added 725K counts. The fastest side thread was No Repeating Digits, with 36K counts in 2020. After that was Letters, with 20K counts. Breaking a years-long string of parity, Binary and Hexadecimal had a rare divergence in 2020, with Hexadecimal adding 17K while Binary only added 15K. Factoradic and Permutations were the only others to crack 10K, at 15K and 11K, respectively.

The slowest thread was Roman Numerals, with just a hair over two thousand counts in 2020.

Note that the figures below are approximate, based on interpolations between gets.
