Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
Optimized the locomotive. Improved performance while driving.
Optimized large railway stations.
Fixed unresponsive NPCs at Novosibirsk-Glavny.
Fixed disappearing trees in several locations.
Please let us know if you’ve noticed any difference in performance and whether everything is running well now.
Added the option to let the mechanic fully repair the locomotive in the hangar.
Added part stacking in the inventory for parts with the same wear level.
Added ammo count display in the inventory.
Added the ability to sell multiple items at once.
Added uphill and downhill train physics
Fixed a bug preventing the train from reaching speeds above 100 km/h
Coupler Failure: The coupler can now break if wagons are connected at excessive speeds.
Inspect Mode: Improved access to coupler component previews in inspect mode.
Sounds: Added sound effects for when a part reaches 0% durability and for jammed, broken levers.
Real Impact: Broken parts now have a tangible effect on comfort, performance, and safety.
Dynamic Physics: Depending on the broken part, the locomotive may tilt, bounce, sway, vibrate, or suffer from braking and pressure issues.
Scaling Difficulty: Problems intensify as more parts become damaged.
Speeding Penalties: Exceeding the speed limit at "Slow Down" signs can cause full damage to a random part.
Fixed stuttering of locomotive driving sounds.
The more you exceed the speed limit at a "slow down" sign, the higher the chance that a random part of the locomotive’s undercarriage will be destroyed.
Ignoring "Turn off the electrical power" or "lower the pantographs" signs may result in the destruction of electrical parts.
Furthermore, levers wear out based on how often they are used.
Additionally, non-electrical parts wear out as the mileage increases.
Light bulbs wear out based on how long they remain switched on.
Coupler components can be damaged if wagons are coupled at excessive speeds; the higher the speed, the greater the damage.
Added the ability to interact with the locomotive while holding a flashlight in your hand.
Expanded Inspection Mode - you can take out the adjustable wrench and press “T” to view broken parts while you’re outside the locomotive cab.
Fixed unwanted text appearing on some parts of the locomotive.
Fixed outlines on NPCs from missions.
New players will receive it after completing the tutorial. Current players will find the module in the hangars.
You will be able to control the locomotive in simplified mode, which automates and shortens many control procedures. With this module:
Starting up and shutting down the locomotive is done with a single button.
The air pressure in the braking system is regulated automatically - you don’t have to manually recharge the pressure after each braking with the wagons coupled.
After lowering the pantographs and raising them again, the engines reset automatically, without the need to manually initiate procedures.
At any time you can return to realistic control.
Fixed several issues related to switching to the locomotive’s second section.
Fixed issues with air pressure sounds.
Added fan sounds.
Improved the appearance of inspection mode.
Fixed derailments occurring after exceeding the speed limit.
Significantly increased the speed at which cars can be coupled without consequences.
Reduced locomotive damage caused by disobeying signs.
Fixed a number of minor bugs and rare crashes.
Added waypoint icons, reducing on-screen text clutter.
In Simulator mode, the chainsaw is now functional - just like the flashlight. Both are available to buy in shops.
We’ve finally migrated the game to a newer engine version. Thanks to this, nircmd and the extra executable file are no longer needed to run the game on 10th-gen Intel CPUs and newer.
In addition, a series of fixes have been implemented that were applied in the Early Access version. Examples below:
Added a dynamic weather system with snow and fog.
Added snowflake effects on the locomotive’s front windows during snowfall.
Fixed the sun’s movement across the sky, improving sunrise and sunset positions.
Adjusted day-night lighting.
Significantly improved performance of the Measurement Apparatus illumination.
Optimised Buffer Lights and flashlights.
Improved overall lighting performance.
Fixed a bug where the glass could clip into the camera while drinking at the bar.
Reduced the frequency of navigation-system-related crashes.
And much more.
If you haven't already, we encourage you to purchase early access, which is constantly being developed. The full route from Novosibirsk to Krasnoyarsk - approximately 840 kilometers - is already completed! Thank you for your support!
