Cloud saves
Hello respected community!
as time progressed, we are finishing 3rd era and soon will announce the exact release date.
Today I have at least good news for you: Your save files are now synchronized to cloud, so you can just save game and continue playing on another pc at your will.
I am pretty sure it makes life a bit easier :)
For those who missed small teaser
Stay tuned to learn more about 3rd era soon, here you can meantime check the very first 3rd era screenshot!
Smaller update while working on 3rd era
Hello respected community!
We are working hard on 3rd era, but to keep updating the game, I made one new version yesterday. It is small one, but there is the basis for much more interesting updates to come.
What you can see in the game now is possibility to select, whether you want station to collect specific cargo type from surounding buildings or if it accepts cargo type by unloading from train. It is very useful when having more stations around the town / industry building.
Full change log is here:
Added: Possibility to decline incoming cargo by station setup
Added: Possibility to mod cargo to affect towns growing
Added: Quest wagons/engines (WIP) - this will be soon introduced
Added: Town grows also thanks to mail in second era
Added: Preparation for second track type (speed corridor) in 3rd era
Fixed: Empty town caption in some cases
Fixed: Placed towns in editor no more belong to the player
Fixed: Placed buildings in editor find closes town as its new owner
Fixed: Depot train view scrollbars
Fixed: Tutorial "Connect 2 Towns" now accepts only town buildings, not industry which belongs to that town
One of new things in Friday build was the restriction to remove only your roads in towns. This unfortunately ended up having issues with possitioning station in towns and even placing railroad crossings.
I did my best and the result is this rather quick update (2 days after the last one):
You are able to not just remove roads, but also buildings in town! it is only very expensive as expected :)
I've also tuned colors in game to bring more vivid world where you want to spend many hours.
Hope you will like it ;)
Full change log is here:
Added: possibility to remove town's road, but it is expensive
Added: possibility to remove town's buildings (expect main hall and quest buildings)
Added: Possibility to build industry buildings in editor
Added: Possibility to build railroad crossings again (you instantly buy road tile from town)
Modified: Vivid colors (tuned all colors including fog, light, grass, ambient color)
Modified: Tuned building / roads removing cost
Modified: Foundry upgrades cost
Fixed: Rock/Water/Snow are not colored by grass in construction mode
Fixed: key '.' does not clear input text box
Fixed: Filename input is now restricted to valid character only
Removed: Steam stats and achievement are disabled in editor
Lower frequency of updates due to 3rd era work
Hello respected community!
It has been few days since the last update. The reason behind this is mainly more work on 3rd era development, but there are already some sweet news for you in today's update:
Renaming of vehicles, stations, towns or even depots!
Unicode input support (usable for names, save files, etc.)
Screenshot basic tool (unlock camera, hide UI, place logo)
Full change log is here:
Added: You may rename station / depot / vehicle / town
Added: Unicode keyboard input support
Added: Screenshot basic tool (unlock camera, hide UI, place logo)
Modified: Roads now belongs to town (you may remove only yours)
Modified: New localized texts version
Fixed: Prussian T 3 name
Fixed: Iron Ore wagon geometry (missing bottom)
Fixed: Snow track in a distance
Fixed: Different shading of diagonal track pieces in construction mode
