Update 1.1 of "Cargo Company" is now available, with a handful new features, improvements and bug fixes. Details here:
- Tool to replace stations
It is now possible to replace train stations easily:
If you want to resize or re-orient a train station, just build a new train station with the wanted dimensions on top of the old one.
Lines, Names, Railway schedules etc will be adjusted automatically then. If you have reduced the platform count, you might need to assign a new desination platform occationally, but that's it.
- Hill generation setting
You can now set a value for the amount of hills you want to be generated when starting new maps. Some people wanted more flat landscapes, this is possible now.
But you can also choose to have a more difficult gameplay by setting the map to have more hills now.
- Keyboard Shortcuts This update includes the first support for keyboard shortcuts: There are now shortcuts for building rails, streets, bridges, signals, landscaping, etc and for bulldozing. They are shown as tooltip when the tool is selected. They cannot yet be mapped to other keys, but this is also planned for a next update. If you want a specific missing keyboard shortcut, please let us know.
- Transparency adjusted
When placing new buildings, or using the option for showing all buildings transparently, buildings are now slightly less transparent.
That way you can also better still see the trees when you place your buildings in a forest.
- More hints at the end of tutorial To give players new to this genre a quick overview on how to play the game, the mail box now gets a mail with next useful steps to do once the tutorial is finished.
- Bug fixed: When you placed a road depot sideways next to a road, trucks and busses coming out of that road depot where able to drive through the side wall of that building. For new road depots placed on the map, this is fixed now. Exising buildings keep this "feature", in case this causes busses not to be able to reach their destination anymore, so that you don't looks revenue. If you don't like this, simply bulldoze your road depot and then rebuild it.
- Bug fixed: The descriptions for 'raise terrain' and 'lower terrain' were missing. This is fixed now.
- Bug fixed: When the game runs in spanish, the load/save game dialog displayed invalid characters for empty save/load game slots.
Thanks for all the feedback so far! We've implemented the most requested features in this update, but more is coming soon.
Further feedback is welcome as always!
Hope you like this update!
