Hey Builders!
It has been quite a while since our last major transmission, but we are absolutely thrilled to be back with one of our biggest updates yet! We know the break was long, but our team has been working behind the scenes for months to completely revolutionize how you build, drive, and interact with your miniature worlds. To celebrate this massive milestone, we are also bringing you a huge -50% discount!
Let’s dive straight into what’s new!
🚂 Take the Wheel: Live Driving & New Camera
You asked for more interaction with your trains, and we are delivering! You no longer have to enter the diorama settings just to dictate how a train should move.
Real-Time Driving: You can now take direct control of your trains in real-time using your arrow keys or WASD!
First-Person View: We’ve added a brand-new 1st-person camera. Hop directly into the driver's seat and experience your intricately designed dioramas from a whole new, immersive perspective.
🛠️ The Assembly Workshop
We are introducing a completely brand-new, hands-on mechanic: Building Assembly!
30+ New Structures: We've added over 30 new buildings for you to put together piece by piece.
How it works: Simply purchase a new structure from its dedicated tab in the shop -> assemble it from scratch -> paint it exactly how you want -> and finally, place your custom masterpiece onto your diorama!
🛤️ Advanced Routing & Stop Programming
Managing your railway network has never been more intuitive and deep. We’ve completely overhauled the route programming system:
Real-Time Route Map: When you set up a train's route on the diorama, the track is now brightly highlighted. It updates in real-time as you decide where the train should turn, giving you perfect visual feedback.
Turn-by-Turn Programming: You now have the power to program the complete route of every single train, dictating exactly which turns it should take.
Custom Stops & Braking Force: You can now manually program exactly where you want your train to stop. Better yet, you can fine-tune the exact braking force values for those stops!
Reverse Mode: Reached the end of the line? No problem. We've added a "reverse" button so your train can easily travel backward along its route.
🔧 Bug Fixes & Adjustments
Community Fixes: Squashed several older bugs and glitches reported by you, our amazing players, ensuring a much smoother and more stable building experience.
