 The CPU may be the bottleneck. Transport Fever 2 doesn't limit city sizes or number of towns that you can place in your map, but the game has to simulate every inhabitant and calculate its way from home to work and shopping venues. This may sooner or later exceed the power of your processor. Laptops usually have CPUs that are rather optimized for low energy consumption than for higher speed. Generally we can say that placing many towns close to each other requires more CPU power than fewer towns with less connections. The CPU may be the bottleneck.

-There may be various reasons for low performance. Common ones are other processes running in the background and a bottleneck in your hardware. A typical bottleneck can be RAM thruput if you got slower RAM modules, an older mainboard with a slower PCIe slot or a graphic card with fewer VRAM. In such a case, lowering texture quality and disabling mods using high resolution textures without lods can massivly increase your fps.+There may be various reasons for low performance.
