Dear Community,
This is our first week since we released Train Station Simulator exactly one week ago! We Thank You All for your support and kind feedback!
So we decided that we dedicate a larger post to collect all new features we hava added this week to TSS and all bug fixes we managed to file with the overwhelmingly positive feedback of our dear players all of YOU.
NEW FEATURES ADDED THIS WEEK
- TSS Feature Blue - suggest new features in the community so by voting in the community these features may become available sooner in TSS
- Speed switcher - speed up your game anytime
- Arrival Passengers - now passengers arrive by train too
- VIP Business, Silver and Golden ticket holders: they can take any trains and they love eating and drinking quality food.
- Small Public Restroom - 1970-1980-1990 to let you guys build more advanced creations we introduce a smaller toilette.
- Photo Booth added to 1970 and 1980
- Free mode: As many of you requested we introduced an (almost) FREE mode. This can be found in the Endless Mode section from 1970.
- Two new trains: turbo jet trains and steam locomotive with historical carriages
- Track Updater: As many of you requested we have managed to create the "Track Updater". You can update with one click any tracks from 1980.
- Underground Hub: Some of you might have realized already that we have started testing with an underground station. It is now available and generates lots of passengers.
We received many fantastic screenshots you have shared. Let us share five of our favorites in this post:
Enhancements to existing features we have added this week:
1. Salary and Emergency counter new resets every day - seemed to had an issue in the latest build
2. Food courts, bars and cafes generate randomly income if passengers eat or drink there
3. Ticket incomes are 20% higher overall if passengers can get their trains
4. Control Room placement: there is a small issue now it shows green but you cannot place it. This will be addressed with this patch.
5. Speed switcher - SPACE
6. Train Timetable Type 2 / Track 2 not forced to track type - now fixed (really really I think it is fixed this time).
7. Workers should work so much better. We will talk to them strictly!
8. Vandals: you may see less vandals in fast mode... Well... that is a little present for you so they will not kick your station into pieces if time is running. This will be fine tuned.
9. All staff members are working little faster
10. Transportation miss-placing should not happen by now
11. Icon added to transportation when you can move it "FREE"
12. Few memory leaks updated
13. Track placing issues - now fixed (after placing two tracks and removing one did not let building another back)
14. Passengers and staff AI has been modified to be a bit more sophisticated. They not yet know the secret of living forever but they are now clever enough to explore larger stations as well. Hopefully we will not let the genie out of the bottle and they will not take control of the Universe killing us all.
15. Some sound glitches: train doors are not so loud anymore
16. Lounge Bar franchise price was advertised for $85.000 originally costed $105.000. We reached out to the owner and they offered a reduced price in their statement for $75.000 for a limited time
17. Some building issues have been modified
18. Reduced passenger faiths. Weather is better recently so they do not feel so tired as before
19. Reduced cost for cracks. We have reached out to our tile wholesaler with your complaints so they offered a cheaper way to fix appearing cracks.
20. Floor cracks will not appear behind walls anymore. But workers can fix cracks from the right side so if it is not clear they skip that job.
21. Wall's not clearing from the edges - due to a modification of escaping passengers we forgot to update it - now fixed
22. Speed switcher - changed to be able to click each buttons separately
23. Lock icons was a mess between 1980-2010 for buffer stop limitations - now fixed
24. Coffee stands did not give coffee - now fixed
25. Staff members are further developed and polished to work better and better
26. Timetable is not perfect here and there - now ready to be fixed
27. Fruit stands were advertised for 15.000 but price is 40.000 - now fixed
28. Some more menu enhancements
29. Transporation Statistical stars were not showing - now fixed
30. Platform Statistical stars were shown wrongly - now fixed
31. 2000 Timetable Type 3 had selection error on some Advanced tracks - now fixed
32. Days indicator looked so stupidly placed between 1-99 days - now fixed
33. Passengers and staff can walk on cracks until we fix properly this issue (been playing with it for 10 hours today)
34. Lounge Bar price issues - now fixed
35. Some train overlay issues - now fixed (still some are onto each other, sorry, we need time to track these all!)
36. Limo passengers sometimes stuck - now fixed
37. Free Mode completely enabled
38. Some more menu enhancements

42. Passenger AI was changed a bit here and there
43. Out of Memory error checked again but might appear still
44. FPS error for some users might work now (please contact us if not)
45. Workers still not doing their jobs exactly perfect - now should be better a bit.
46. Menu enhancements
47. Some trains might be appearing onto each other still - we fixed a few we found but still there are some
48. NVIDIA VSync problem should be fine now - some users experienced an extremely fast 1000+ FPS gameplay. I wish that would work with many passengers too... than we wouldn't have FPS difficulties with large crowds. Thanks for this bug tracking to new community member "marius".
49. Passengers' AI has been modified so they are getting cleverer every day,
50. Workers should work perfect now,
51. Some more train overlay issues has been finished,
52. After Save Game error message appearing sometimes - now fixed (maybe. Never shown up at our tests it is about your reports)
53. TTS Features Blue voting: hurry up with your votes for the new featuers as the deadline is coming on Thursday / Friday! Ask your friends to vote to get your feature come to TSS. We will upload a few more new features we think would be a good fit for this game!
