Whispers from the Server Depths
The RailGod has evolved and her powers have expanded. Upon inspection, we have found new settings to fine-tune her performance.
Server Options have made their way to the game. By manipulating these options, the Conductor may use their RailGod's power to manipulate the laws of Hysterra. For now, only one option exists, to control Satiety Depletion Time. From a mere 10 minutes for the truly brave to 25 minutes for those too faint-hearted to endure longer.
Though called server options, this is available for both Single Player and Multiplayer.
Recovering More of Humanity's Languages - Polish
After successfully establishing a connection to Türkiye and Korea, the maintainers of the Endless Railways set their sights on Poland. There, creatures known as Shantak, allied with the Outer God Nyarlathotep, were actively oppressing humanity, giving the RailGod an excellent opportunity to test her new abilities.
With the ferocity of the Hussars of old and the power of the RailGod behind them, the remaining Polish people the Shantak were defeated. Throughout the campaign, the RailGod mastered the Polish language and spread understanding of the language to all of her stations across the globe.
Sprint’s Tenuous Grip
The Sprint - a new power recently granted by the RailGod - now carries a deeper weight. The impact of sole on earth strikes harder and the effects are more pronounced, letting the sprinting Conductor know that they are running on firm grounds.
A New State of Mind
As a connoisseur of food, the RailGod understands the necessity of knowing - without any doubt - when one is hungry. Therefore, she has gifted a new ability to her Conductors. Those who have not been fed enough will see a Starving mark upon them if their Satiety drops to 0.
Should the Conductor attempt to move with haste, the burden of hunger will become a cruel weight, symbolized not only by the icon but by the cruel text above their head.
The Forgotten Key
And finally, in the depths of the train, the Train Management Menu (J) has been made more visible. Use this option to utilize the powers of the RailGod to teleport you between carriages!
The Bounty Deepens
As news of the RailGod and her conductors spreads throughout Hysterra, hope slowly grows in the hearts of humanity. As such, you shall be paid twice the reward for all Side Quests from now on.
Carriages Reweighed
Madness has been found to infect those who set the prices of the RailGod carriages. 3x3 carriages were priced too cheaply, making the 3x5 carriages pointless. Therefore, the price of the 3x3 carriages has been increased.
