Hello respected community
Today I have a new build for you and this time it is quite interesting one :)
It was for the first time I've utilised Experimental branch to find as much issues as possible and I would say it worked better than expected! - Thanks to all of you who participated and let me know any issues, ideas, opinions - together we are making this game far better then I would be ever able to.
In this build, there are few main highlights:
- Distance bonus for passengers and mail (with visualization per wagon in train window, train map icon, train list)
- Distance bonus for other cargo included in industry buildings rules (bonus computed according to closest resource on map)
- Second "High speed" track type (including upgrade tool, new signals, smart shortcuts respecting last track type used)
- Language can be selected in splash window (+ game branch visible in splash window and ingame)
- New track & road smoothing (including construction mode and lod in a distance)
- Many fixes
Hope you will like it as much as I do, since the distance bonus and second type of track was quite a challenge to finish due to all UI / AI / save&load / balancing / assets changes. Now we have a solid base not only for future track types.
