Overfreight liveries allow you to change the visual paint schemes of your locomotives and railcars in OneSkyVed's Roblox logistics simulation. You can obtain specific built-in livery colors through career save environments and research badges, or apply custom real-world designs by entering Roblox decal asset IDs into the vehicle customization menu.
Default Save Colors and Unlockable Badges
In Overfreight, baseline locomotive and rolling stock colors are tied directly to your selected map save slot and research milestones rather than random selection.
| Livery Type | Appearance / Theme | How to Unlock | Source Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locomotive Default | Green | Starting or loading a Flatlands save | In-game save mechanism |
| Locomotive Default | Beige / Light Yellow | Starting or loading a Twin Peaks save | In-game save mechanism |
| Locomotive Default | Pink | Starting or loading a Mountain Insanity save | In-game save mechanism |
| Locomotive Special | Orange | Obtain the "Overfreight!" badge (complete all non-diamond research) | Research tree milestone |
| Railcar Default | Red | Standard unresearched railcar appearance | In-game default |
| Railcar Variant | Dark Blue / Purple | Complete the optional "Graffiti Removal" research | Optional research tree item |
Career players who unlock all core technologies earn the orange livery badge without spending premium currency. The dark blue and purple railcar paint scheme remains purely optional, allowing players who prefer the standard red rolling stock to skip the graffiti removal node.
Customization System and Gem Requirements
Train customization transitioned from early beta testing into a dedicated gem-based feature. Unlocking custom livery and mesh slots on a locomotive costs 5 gems per train.
You do not need to spend Robux to customize your fleet. Players can gather the necessary gems through two free in-game methods:
- In-game advertisements: Watching an ad grants 5 gems, which immediately covers one train customization. Ad availability depends on region and often carries a cooldown of 15 to 17 hours between batches.
- Daily quests: Completing a daily task grants 10 gems, enough to unlock customizations on two separate trains. Many tasks track progress automatically while players remain active or AFK on their layout.
Locomotives that have had the 5-gem customization pass applied cannot be deleted for a gem refund. Be careful to apply custom passes only to trains you plan to keep on your active rail network.
How to Create and Upload Custom Liveries
Custom train textures rely on UV template files mapped specifically to Overfreight's vehicle models. The community uses UV templates for Diesel Locomotive 1 and 2, Electric Locomotive 1 and 2, and passenger coaches.
- Download the appropriate UV template from the developer or community Discord server.
- Open an image editor such as Canva or Photopea. Photopea is commonly chosen by designers because its pen tool easily handles angled and curved striping.
- Align your artwork along the template guidelines. The center red line marks the locomotive midline, while the top represents the left side and the bottom represents the right side. Ensure all 5-pixel black and green layout guides are fully painted over.
- Export the completed texture file as a PNG.
- Navigate to the Roblox Creator Hub, open Creations, select Development Items, click Decals, and upload your image file.
- Once processed, click the three dots on your decal and select Copy Asset ID.
If you design both sides of a train in Photopea, you can copy your design layers and select Edit, Transform, and Flip Horizontal to produce a mirrored livery for the opposite side.
Applying Livery Asset IDs In-Game
Applying a livery requires inputting the copied Roblox decal ID directly into the game's interface:
- Click on the Vehicles tab on the game UI.
- Select the locomotive or carriage you want to modify.
- Click the Customization button to open the template ID window.
- Paste your Roblox decal asset ID into the first box for locomotives, or into the secondary carriage field for passenger cars.
- Press Enter to render the livery onto your train model.
If a newly pasted livery fails to load or appears blank, rejoining the server resolves temporary texture rendering delays. To return an engine to its default factory appearance, click inside the input box and press Enter while the field is empty.
Popular Community Livery Designs
The Overfreight community frequently shares asset IDs replicating high-speed, commuter, and freight liveries from railway operators worldwide:

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my train livery show the template lines in-game?
Template guides show up on your train when your design layers do not fully cover the reference markers. When editing in Canva or Photopea, ensure your background color blocks or shape layers completely hide the 5-pixel guide borders before exporting your decal.
How much does it cost to apply a custom livery?
Unlocking custom livery and 3D mesh customization costs 5 gems per train. Gems are earned for free by watching supported in-game video ads (5 gems each) or by completing daily quest assignments (10 gems each).
How do I revert a train back to its original paint job?
Open the Vehicles menu, select your locomotive, open Customization, click the text field containing your asset ID, clear the ID number, and press Enter. This clears the custom texture and restores the train's default map color.
