Hello conductors,
We’re thrilled to announce that our new update is out now!
This free update takes us to Nugget Creek, which is a brand new region in the game, with 7 new achievements, 5 new levels, 4 new industries, a new card, and a new animal!
It also comes with our biggest discount so far (20%), so saddle up because we’re heading to the Gold Rush era!
In this new region, you’ll be filling your train with horses and gold ingots and blasting through impenetrable rocks with an explosive TNT card!
Other New Features and Updates
There are also an abundance of new features, like adaptive stations that visually change depending on whether it’s a freight or passenger station.
The number of freight and passenger rails connected to a station now changes the appearance of the station, meaning a small station can change to a large one with a roof above the trains or even a huge animated freight crane on rails.
Custom Game Mode has also received an update with 2 new industry types: mining & farming and mining & wood.
We’ve also listened to feedback from players that the first region is too easy, so we’ve completely remade Greendale 4 and 5 to introduce cards earlier.
Sadly, this new update also comes with a goodbye to our terrifying Choo Choo Charles mode.
The full patch notes for this update can be found at the bottom of this update.
Future Updates
In case you haven’t seen it yet, here’s our current roadmap for Station to Station. Our November update is out now and we have one more update coming this year in December!
This will add a lot of new features that were requested by our community - including photo mode and ride-along mode.
