Welcome to the Jungle

I just released a new content update that adds a bunch of new city scenery pieces as well as new slot car roads and a slot car sedan.

This is probably the largest content update to date.

An important detail is that because scenery is designed to rotate around the center of grid cells as opposed to the edges (like track), scenery doesn't line up with the ends of track pieces.

I also made it easier to enter and exit rideables. Now when you point the teleport beam at a rideable, you'll teleport in where you are pointing. You can also teleport between rideables, for example from a station onto a train.

Changes are as follows:

  • Railcars now trigger switches when going over them (based on coupled loco switch direction)
  • Added elevated rail platforms
  • Added multiple city buildings
  • Added roads
  • Added slot car sedan
  • Added sidewalks
  • Made it so that track and roads can snap over each other (allows for street rails)
  • Added placeable trash can
  • Added placeable fire hydrant (twist the bolt on the top to turn on/off)
  • Added placeable traffic light (point at and click trackpad to change color)
  • Added placeable street light
  • Added rideable city station blocks (single and double sided, can also be placed next to roads)
  • Added example city layout
  • Improved load time
  • Improved teleporting into and between rideables (you can now teleport from one car to another or from a station onto a train)
  • Added support for loading saves as the starting scene (place your own in the steamapps\common\Locomancer\saves\start folder)
  • Fixed BART car doors not opening on the correct side
  • Fixed bug where clicking the touchpad while grabbing the toolbox would trigger the extinguisher and camera
