Sweet Transit Update Two Patch Notes
Hello everyone, Ernestas here!
Welcome to the patch notes for Sweet Transit Update 2: Forging Forward, OUT NOW!
With this update, I've focused on introducing some bigger features that the community have been asking for, as well as improving the game's logistics systems. You can read about some of them in this blog post.
The new Undo and Redo feature proved to be a very useful addition during testing. Players can now undo their mistakes when in a rush or when they're still getting familiar with the game's controls and systems. Personally, this saved me tons of time when rails didn't align the way I wanted them to. The new Scenarios bring a new and exciting game mode that can be expanded more in the future if players are enjoying them. Hopefully, all of the new features together will make the game more accessible and engaging. With this update completed, I will be looking to focus much more on adding new content to the game.
One feature I didn't talk about previously is in-game people's logic. I have added depth to their simulations, making them more engaging. Before, most of the traffic was to the station and back, apart from some wanderers. Now people will navigate to service structures, such as markets or bars which will generate income. Structures like the house of worship ring their bells three times a day, indicating that it is time to worship the God of Trains. Now those worshipers will actually go to churches from all around the village to pay their respects. This adds a lot of new foot traffic. It is fun seeing workers go from work to home, then to the market, and then maybe to a bar or school. This traffic can be optimized for even more income. Commercial structures such as Bakeries and Clothes shops also generate income based on traffic. This means that placing bakeries near station exits might make them generate income instead of losing money. One of my favourite things to do is to place bookstores around bars, which not only generates income, but makes reading more fun with friends!
I hope you enjoy the new features, and as ever, I look forward to hearing your feedback!
