“I was enjoying the game until I hit a show-stopping bug in the 4th mission, where the game refused to recognize that I was connected via power lines. Since I couldn't work around that bug and I'm not replaying the scenario, I've given up. Farlanders isn't really a city builder.…”

I made a new game, it's about railway automatization

Greetings 🙋‍♂️ I’d love to tell you about my new game, Super Loco World , which just launched! It’s all about trains, automation, and cozy vibes. It’s a bit of a departure from what I did in Farlander
