Train Valley 2 is 5 years old!



On April 15, 2019 Train Valley 2 was released on Steam.

First Pioneers left the depot on Forestry and our quest for fast and precise cargo deliveries began. Choo-Choo Weekly issues followed to commemorate your first expeditions into the depths of the level Editor, and Let's Play Together! challenges became our good old tradition in the blink of an eye :)

A trove of additional content, thousands of Workshop uploads and hundreds of LPT challenges, releases on additional platforms and screens upon screens filled with your feedback, suggestions, questions and answers and reports about your improved timing and screenshots of that bridge bug-soon-to-be-feature Train Valley 2 have evolved, its community have grown, and our firm belief that making games is about making sure people enjoy them stayed.

Thank you for believing in us and our games, supporting us every step of the way and showing us good fun with the way you drive your trains, discover undocumented behaviors, or just discuss the best way to measure the speed of a locomotive leaving a Depot in tiles per millisecond. You are what makes Train Valley 2 so wonderful :)

See you in a bit, friends!

Patent Pending DLC Level Design Contest



Hello there!

Patent Pending is out, and we hope you are enjoying new level objectives, industries, stations, goods and resource types you have encountered while chasing the escaped Catalyst prototype.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2848820/Train_Valley_2__Patent_Pending/

We are hosting a dedicated level design contest from 1 April to 1 May of 2024. Any completable level using new gameplay additions can enter and win a prize - one out of five.

:tvhook: The rules: :tvhook:

Use any of the following:


  • :tvvagon: Increasing Toll station,
  • :tvvagon: Catalyst and
  • :tvvagon: Inhibitor industries as well as
  • :tvloco: Keep an industry sped up with a Catalyst for XX seconds ,
  • :tvloco: Stop the level's timer with an Inhibitor for XX seconds,
  • :tvloco: Pay XX TV2$ at an Increasing Toll Station,
  • :tvloco: Travel XX tiles while an Inhibitor is working objectives.


You don't have to use every new station and industry type in a single level to make it eligible (although you definitely can :) Any 1 station/industry or 1 objective is enough. Feel free to sprinkle your creation on top with some new decorations too :)

Five levels - and their respective creators - will be awarded Steam Wallet funds prizes on the 3rd of May, 2024.

Visit our Discord server to learn more.

We cannot wait to experience your new valley designs :)

Locomotive 3-8 (The Doctor)

(SPMW 207 at Donner Pass, 2017 - photo by Mike Haire from Railroad Picture Archives)

The North America Railway Hall of Fame recognizes and establishes an enduring tribute to the people and things that have made significant contribution relating to the railway industry in North America - and our today's locomotive/railroad equipment is so effective it was inducted in 2001 into the "Technical Innovations" category with "National" significance.

[h2]Forgotten, but not obsolete.[/h2]

Solid steel plows, snow throwers, flangers, snow melters, snow blowers powered by jet engines all exist and some are deployed every winter across the globe, yet the rotary snowplows still outperform the competition in both power-to-efficiency and spectacular snow removal nominations.

Several reasons for the forgotten part: advent of more ubiquitous service and construction vehicles like bulldozers and the sheer maintenance cost of a single unit - even if it isn't actively used, just stored.

Of course there are disadvantages too.


  • Rotary snowplows are more susceptible to debris (rocks, trees, etc.) found in the snow slides resulting from avalanches.
  • Rotaries leave an open-cut that fixed-blade plows cannot push snow past, and so once rotaries have been used, they must be used for the remainder of the season, until the snowpack - multiple layers of compacted snow - has melted. Often deployed when snow is too deep or hard-packed for traditional plows though, the rotary's ability to operate slowly, as there is no requirement for train momentum to break up the snow, is often an advantage in mountainous regions, where a high speed derailment could be disastrous.
  • Rotaries are also less used on routes with axle load restriction - with a weaker bridge along the way for example.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjBQ3MaBYiU


Today these magnificent machines are used as a last resort, when less expensive fixed-blades are overwhelmed by especially large snow quantities, mainly around mountain passes and areas with poor road access, or areas with routine severe snowfall conditions.

(SPMW 207 at Donner Pass, 2017 - photo by Mike Haire from
Railroad Picture Archives)
Notice the fold out "wings" on both sides of the blade assembly that allow the plow to grab more snow and clean a wider area.

Train Valley 2s in-game counterpart is called The Doctor because the initial rotary snowplow design was proposed by J.W. Elliot, a Canadian dentist in 1869.

He never got to building one; first working models of that same design were tested with sand by one Orange Jull of Orangeville, Ontario and later developed into a successful full-sized working prototype in cooperation with Leslie Brothers of Toronto that owned a machine shop there. Around a year later, Leslies acquired the rights, formed the Rotary Steam Shovel Manufacturing Company in Paterson, New Jersey and contracted Cooke Locomotive and Machine Works in Paterson to do the actual construction.

A Leslie Plow is the type of plow most people think of when you say "rotary". It has one large circular plow blade rotating on a shaft that is parallel to the tracks.


(Steam rotary snowplow OM, built in 1889 by Cooke Locomotive & Machine Works, preserved today on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad. - photo by Benoit Poulin, 2002, from American Steam and Narrow Gauge website)

Between 1885 and 1903 the Leslies had 62 plows (plus 2 for export) built by several locomotive works. They then sold the rights to the American Locomotive Company (ALCo), however, the Leslies' company exists to this day. From 1905 to
1937 ALCo built 67 plows (plus 4 for export), and oversaw construction of several more by Reid Newfoundland and Lima-Hamilton before going out of business in 1969.

There were other designs of course, some more successful than others, but that's a tale for another time perchance? :)

[h2]The most powerful piece of snowfighting equipment ever devised[/h2]

Our inspiration came from the units SPMW 207 and SPMW 209 assigned to Union Pacific Railroad's Roseville Subdivision, California - both Leslie Rotary Plows, they were originally built with steam power and rebuilt during the 1950s to power the blade assembly by diesel locomotive traction motors. Today they are regularly sent out to move the "Sierra Cement" snow found on the Donner Pass Line.

They get their electrical power from separate EMD F7B units, that were repurposed to power the rotaries, and themselves don't have traction motors. The F7B units are known as "snails" (this is derived from the fact that engineless but motored units that take their power from another locomotive are "slugs"; thus the opposite, with engine but no motors, is a "snail.")
These plows are equipped with a Vapor-Clarkson steam generator too - handy for heat, cleaning ice out of the wheel and off the antennas, as well as blowing the steam whistle :)

(SPMW 207 at at Colfax Railroad days, 2014 - photo by Mike Haire from Railroad Picture Archives)

The blade assembly can rotate in either direction, while the blades automatically position themselves to the proper angle, and the chute can be quickly switched to throw the snow to either side. The rotaries' trucks are rigid to help prevent derailments and keep the blades at a constant height. The rotaries are also chained to their respective 'snail'. Neither the rotary nor the snail can move by themselves, and rely totally on attendant locomotives to pull or push them.

Normally, the rotary plows are placed on either end of a train, which would consist of a plow, snail, three or four locomotives that provide tractive power, another snail and a rotary facing in the opposite direction. This was done so that the train would not be trapped in case of a slide or additional snowfall behind it, and the train would not need to be turned. UP's SPMW units are equipped with controls that allow handling every aspect of a train like that - movement, heat, power - from the plow's cabin.



Observe the Doctor's signature circular blade assembly encased in fire engine red armor in the front, along with a leftside chute and a bulky, Train Valley 2 yellow car body equipped with longer access ladders containing the crew compartment, several observation windows and housing both diesel traction motors and the rotary engine (a necessary simplification stemming from the way locomotives work in Train Valley 2), with a bright orange warning light on the roof. A projection of power and reliability - qualities needed the most for the tasks ahead.

And that is it for today!
For a bit of further reading you you can take a peek inside a UP rotary plow - a walkthrough by Jim R. Ley and watch a steam rotary snowplow train in action - filmed by Mike Armstrong.

See you in a bit, friends!

Happy New Year!

As we were preparing this Friday's LPT challenge to celebrate another year of Train Valley 2 coming to a close, we took a minute to thank you for your interest in our games, your support and feedback, tireless exploration efforts for new Workshop designs and meticulous research into undocumented train behaviors :)

Check out these stats and see what we've accomplished together in 2023:



Here's to mastering all the LPT applications for the Locosaurus, stacking 10 terraforming markers into the same terrain tile, overcoming DNRT and DNUP and DNSAT, choosing the scout bot before the loot and after that getting the loot anyway, wondering what does a Mechacow milk Cheesecake taste like, combining Worker stations with bridges and not being prepared for the unforeseen consequences, completing just one more train puzzle...or maybe three :)

Flazm Interactive team wishes you happy holidays. See you in 2024!

Get your Railway Puzzles Bundle today

Weve once again teamed up with our friends and fellow train puzzles connoisseurs at Afterburn and Galaxy Grove to offer the Railway Puzzles Bundle - with the maximum discount ever!



A minimalistic voxel-art game by Galaxy Grove, Station To Station is about bringing colour, life and relaxation to the world around you through the magic of trains. Build railway connections, stitch sun-kissed dunes and emerald woods together - for every station has a tale to tell.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/35369/Railway_Puzzles_Bundle/

We have invited aboard Afterburn for that bundle too. They are the makers of Railbound, a comfy, relaxing railway track-bending puzzle game about a pair of dogs on a journey around the world. Connect and sever rails, help everyone reach their homes, pick up your friends on the way and make the train go 'CHOO-CHOO' :)

This bundle includes Station to Station, Railbound, Train Valley, and Train Valley 2. Players purchasing this bundle will receive an even greater, worthy of Steam Winter Sale discount across all 4 titles. And if you already own a title within the bundle then you can purchase the others at a further discounted rate, so do not hesitate - there can never be too many train puzzles :)

See you in a bit, friends!

Level of the Month - June and July 2023

June and July of 2023 seem to be just on the last page of your calendar, and yet September is almost over. Shall we replay two most prominent summer train puzzles and reminisce hot sunny days and hotter 5-star timers?



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2993228916

Now with electricity! :)
Several updates later, after closely working with the community, an upgraded, higher difficulty valley emerged. Supplying the megapolis with materials, bridging the central island with the banks, investing in new factories, incorporating existing track branches into the ever-growing railway network, looking out for shortcuts, keeping your eye on every delivery - Mountain's River is and exhilarating kind of 'drive your trains straight into a puzzle' fun.
45:00, no train crashing or wrong deliveries.

A very good result for a second Workshop map ever uploaded. Congratulations @hugoleger91 - your 30 Steam gift card should've found its way to you not too long ago!



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008946195

Arrrabbiiian niiiiights.... "One of them maps", according to our players, took the cake in July - and took our LPT veterans for a ride as well :) Dune elves, forgotten treasures, a majestic desert city surrounded by oases with quite a few delivery quests - a good place to make a coin, maybe haggle a little too - and no room for stopping your trains in the scorching sands, keeping onto your Cheese for too long or crossing the Sultan by crashing their precious locomotives.
16:00, DNSAT, no train crashing.

Congratulations @Gaztibelza - we've made sure your 30 award is already with you :)

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

The Railway Puzzles Bundle is now available

Were excited to announce that were teaming up with our friends and fellow train puzzles connoisseurs at Afterburn and Galaxy Grove to offer the Railway Puzzles Bundle in support of the just released Station To Station.



A minimalistic voxel-art game by Galaxy Grove, Station To Station is about bringing colour, life and relaxation to the world around you through the magic of trains. Build railway connections, stitch sun-kissed dunes and emerald woods together - for every station has a tale to tell.

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/35369/Railway_Puzzles_Bundle/

We have invited aboard Afterburn for that bundle too. They are the makers of Railbound, a comfy, relaxing railway track-bending puzzle game about a pair of dogs on a journey around the world. Connect and sever rails, help everyone reach their homes, pick up your friends on the way and make the train go 'CHOO-CHOO' :)

This bundle includes Station to Station, Railbound, Train Valley, and Train Valley 2. Players purchasing this bundle will receive a discount across all 4 titles. And if you already own a title within the bundle then you can purchase the others at a further discounted rate, so do not hesitate - there can never be too many train puzzles :)

See you in a bit, friends!

Level of the Month - April and May 2023

April and May of 2023 have gone by - but there's two tales of large scale freights deliveries, industrial grade train puzzles and multilevel bridge-it-till-you're-broke Passenger Flow valleys to remember them by:



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2963476208
The locals are really fond of their mines, so much so they've settled right next to a freshly collapsed one - not ceasing their business for a second. Take special precautions while constructing your bridges - expensive as they are, and PF trains having little patience + One Way Stations restricting all movement on the lower level, and massive Pumpkin industrial complex requiring immediate attention above, there's always a restart waiting close by :)
12:30, DNDATT, DNRT.

Excellent design, high replayability and fun gameplay. Congratulations @Plastickbag - your 30 Steam gift card should've found its way to you not too long ago!



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2979020369

A miniature shunting yard with shiny blue steam engines - welcome to Switchback Summit where getting from point A to point B usually requires rerouting via F :) Pay attention to every switch, remember the 15 000 TV2$ fee on that Toll Station and work along/around local terrain peculiarities, guide your trains over the narrow mountain tracks and complete your delivery quests on time.
Yes, it is possible to reverse trains without failing the Do Not Reverse Trains condition :)
14:00, DNRT, no engine upgrades allowed.

A refreshing design hidden beneath a classic layout. Congratulations @Yokuyin - we've made sure your 30 award is already with you :)

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

Level of the Month - February and March 2023

Level of the Month February and March 2023 edition is here - two tales of fast deliveries, completed objectives and closely watched timers, both getting our highest commendations. Take your pick:



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2933104639

Our resident Spider Chocolatier presents us another peak into the intricacies of human-arachnid relations, specifically the Arachnoenergetic industry. An ancient 50000 Spiderwatts-class ritual stopped working and now energy-less valley seeks to restore an old Powerplant. A selection of differently themed Editor assets blending into a complete story also turns out to be a puzzle with unique flow to its gameplay, possessing both multitasking exercises, tactical financial decisions to make and good bit of junction (re)building too.
19:00, no train crashes, 20000 TV2$ demolition budget.

Excellent design, high replayability and fun gameplay. Congratulations @eijolend - your 30 Steam gift card should've found its way to you not too long ago!



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2949657520
The story and the valley's name feel oddly familiar, yet the inner workings of the local supply chain do not. Powerful multitasking capabilities, an interesting Engineer distribution minigame, a piece of terrain floating in the black wastness of space design - Attack Of The Clones is an excellent example of "fun landscaping meets a fresh strategy" kind of valley. Adding no loco upgrades and limited funds into the mix, we get a refreshing experience of exploring new tricks of our favorite train driving game. Hope you like sand :)
15:00, build at least 2 bridges and 1 tunnel.

Congratulations @hika - we've made sure your 30 award is already with you :)

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

See you in a bit, friends!

The Pandeia Project Level Design Contest Results Are In!



Hello! The fifth, final round of instantaneously assessed and unanimously selected level(s) exploring new additions from our latest DLC Workshop creator(s) have presented for the past 4 days is here:

[h2]1st place: :tv2conductor: Plastickbag - :tvloco: Lazy Cheesecake[/h2]
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3028160639

Congratulations Plastickbag, your 10 Steam gift card is on its way to you. And now on to the final contest results:

1st place: :tv2conductor: Plastickbag - :tvloco: Lazy Cheesecake
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3028160639
19 minutes, don't buy more than 2 engines and produce at least 350 units.

There's nothing like praising a level twice in the same post - especially since it brings so much to one's play session. All the eligibility conditions aside, Lazy Cheesecake teaches us two different cheesecake recipes, helps keeping our multitasking/time management/track planning in top shape and offers a whole new type of a level layout - one that implements Accelerators as time constraining devices while utilizing Linked Gates as bullet points in your shopping list - and that leads us to excellent replayability backed up by possible supply chain shortcuts and our PPLDC's first place!

2nd place: :tv2conductor: hika - :tvloco: Castle in the Sky
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3023977402
18 minutes, SOFLTO, build at least 1 bridge.

A train puzzle to prove that timely deliveries and expertly operated Passenger Flow trains are equally important wherever your transportation company finds itself next - like a floating island for example :)
Keeping up with unexplained recent increase in popularity of Cheese and Robots and Protective Suits, your mission is to meet local demand with appropriate, efficient and precise levels of supply - just watch that autotrain and don't look over the edge too much :)

3rd place: :tv2conductor: BenGotham - :tvloco: The Teddy Bears' Picnic
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3013426142
SOFLTO, no wrong deliveries, 16 minutes.

Let's help teddies make some tasty treats, sew some new friends and have a wonderful picnic together! The operation's overseer prefers trainspotting fully loaded trains while the harbormaster is inspecting every freight and does not allow more that one train through the gates, so let's indulge them too. Complete the railway junction around the middle city and see the preparations completed just in time to start the festivities. Don't let the bees sting your Navigators :)

Our heartiest congratulations go to our winners! Playing your creations fueled by recently added mechanics and industries is as fun as it is insightful - and Train Valley 2 is steaming towards more changes and new content thanks to your feedback and unyielding interest in making sure every delivery is headed to where it is needed most. Our thank you goes to every level uploader, puzzle solver and train driver that keep Train Valley 2 Workshop going!

See you in a bit, friends!

Hello! Our Level Design Contest dedicated to the Pandeia Project release is on this very moment! A quick rules refresher:

Use the all new Editor objects and mechanics:

  • Apiary
  • Creamery
  • Travel XX tiles, Produce XX goods, Buy XX trains, Send out fully loaded trains only and Do not use Accelerators objectives

A 5-star timer close to (or less than) 17:30 is O.K. - plus you don't have to use every new station and industry type in a single level to make it eligible :)

Any 1 station and any 1 objective is fine.

Now approaching: Editor's Bulletin

Hey everyone!

A high-stakes business of driving freight trains to anywhere our engineers can lay some rails to relies on timely reports as much as it does on fast and powerful locomotives. Editor's Bulletin is almost here bringing you case studies on building and maintaining supply chains entirely with wiggly tracks, crucial stats on locomotive and tender model's length (now down to 10 digits after decimal point!) and a centerfold housing the updated chart on star-timer's fairness, hidden (?) achievements count and number of Potato Power Plants present correlation.
Wishlist today!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2330180/Train_Valley_2__Editors_Bulletin/

High stakes and high rewards too: we're updating our LPT collectible prize pool with 12 new cards depicting your favorite engines from Myths And Rails and Editor's Bulletin. All current Champions will have a chance of competing side by side with current contenders and complete their collections again :)



As always, we will be waiting for your feedback. And will be waiting for you to join our Discord - in case you want to have all the latest Train Valley news at your fingertips :)

See you in a bit, friends!

Level of the Month - January 2023



The energy crisis is nigh here and even though we have several options the timers work not in our favour - not to mention the particularities of local logistics and the DNSAT. We are here to avert Electricity Shortage 1:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2910931949

The Potato Power Plant is on standby but we have to put in quite some work before utilizing its full potential. Topographical layout and 9:20 timer aside, simultaneous laying down tracks and counting your Workers output add a multitasking challenge to candle making, potion brewing, puzzling valley we have selected for Level Of The Month' January 2023. Don't spend too much time trying to connect that Wind Turbine Powerplant please :)

Peculiar design, solid replayability and fun gameplay. Congratulations @petronille_marie - your 30 Steam gift card is well on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

Level of the Year 2022



Nearly 500 Workshop levels and 96 Let's Play Together challenges later (check out full 2022 infographics here by the way) https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/602320/view/3641754849917112134 the time has come to choose a level worthy of the Level Of The Year 2022 award.
New Editor objects, new gameplay mechanics, new locomotives to drive, new levels to explore-we brought a little a bit of everything to enrich and maximize your Train Valley 2 experience, all of it based on your feedback, suggestions and questions. Flazm Interactive would like to express gratitude to every Train Valley player. We are very glad to have you.

Reconnect the settlements of this river valley, supply local industrial and agricultural businesses, expand your railway network, be on the lookout for many ways to improve your schedule and streamline your deliveries, maintain that 65 000 TV2$ demolition jobs cost limit, do not crash any trains and practice some more your last second route switching.

We hope you enjoy your visit to the

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819697388

With 10 minutes on that Pass Limiter's cooldown timer and 16 on the 5-star one this puzzle can still be solved-in time-by utilizing several different approaches in both resource distribution and engine management. Not every shortcut can be built during a single playthrough though, so some early planning seems to be a viable strategy too. A lively, compact and fun to explore valley offering solution variability resulting in additional restarts-just to see if there's a better way to design everything-while catering to different skill levels.

@Gatebase, outstanding work! A 50 Steam gift card is heading your way right now.

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

Level of the Month - October/December 2022

Level of the Month October and December 2022 edition is here-two tales of fast deliveries, completed objectives and closely watched timers, both getting our highest commendations. Take your pick:



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876088539

A certain space station/planet destroyer reimagined within TV2 Editor with hidden terraforming events, autotrains, DNDATT fused into a puzzle worth finest train drivers rebellion has. Ignore your onboard targeting computer malfunctioning and deliver explosive payloads, disable the station's turrets and save the day in under 10 minutes.



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900817613

The future is now, and instead of flying cars we have got flying trains (patent pending :) Current prototypes can go up to 7 tiles without any tracks - or land - beneath. Using that cutting edge tech we're tasked to retrieve an ultra rare cyber crystal right from the core of a futuristic settlement on the other side of the chasm. DNRT, 12:00, sneaky terraforming and a sloooow Pass Limiter.

Excellent designs with similarly high replayability and fun gameplay. Congratulations @Blathers, @Miaxlo-your 30 Steam gift cards are on the way!

Happy New Year!

As we are preparing this Friday's LPT challenge to celebrate another year coming to a close, we would like to thank you for your interest in our games, your support and feedback, exploration for new Workshop designs and research into undocumented behaviours :)

Check out these impressive stats and see what we've accomplished together in 2022:



Here is to overcoming DNRT and DNUP, finding and selling overpriced scenery objects to fund an extra bridge construction, perfecting your Spider chocolate recipe, building a wiggly track section around reloading Pass Limiters, powering an entire valley with a Potato Power Plant, disassembling Alien Artifacts into Fish, Microchips and Snowmen, completing just one more train puzzle...or maybe two :)

Flazm Interactive team wishes you happy holidays. See you in 2023!

Weekly Winner - December 5th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895351287

Having seven feet of snow cover your neighbourhood in just two days adds a whole new level of difficulty to even most basic delivery jobs-and we don't do basic :) Work your way through the snow dunes, deliver 200 trains, earn at least 3000000 TV2$, remove debris formed by the snowstorm, invest in additional Christmas Tree factories, save the valley from any kind of shortage or isolation the weather could try and introduce and spend 35:59 and less succeeding in all these tasks.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895465719

Avoid wrong deliveries and crashing your trains, do not disturb the gigaraffe sanctuary inside the newly developing industrial zone. Ramp up resource extraction, streamline Electricity production and invest in a Van factory; gain access to the second and third levels of the valley, upgrade your engines promptly, follow the 22:30 timer closely-and have fun :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892534133

A leisure 41 minute journey to 5 stars. Build a tunnel, around six bridges, encounter an occasional Hyperloop connection, try optimizing your railway connections and invent a couple of shortcuts while completing every delivery quest you find.

An island community placed an order for 20 shiny yellow buses. Do they hope to improve their transportation network with reverse psychology? Between finding out, DNRT and no wrong deliveries, Bus Island is a fine example of old school level design approach fused with cutting edge gameplay mechanics and station types. 13:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2892919844

A story of discounts, special offers and 3 for the price of 1 deals-spending big on at least 18 bridges and saving on track tile building by not going over 190 pieces. we have 15:15 to explore the supply chain and navigate treacherous archipelago of Black Friday.

Weekly Winner - November 21st


Well, it's about perfect time we had a look at some more Workshop levels :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889758502

A Passenger Flow adventure-14:00 of balancing your expense tracking sheet between locomotive outfitting, railway network scaling and spending what little time you have left completing delivery quests. Terrain will guide your track building cursor, don't crash any trains and make no wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890535830

This place looks like where all the Editor objects go and rest before participating in the next train valley's decorations. That, or a collection belonging to someone with a somewhat wider scope of interests. Careful with the carpets while laying down your tracks and mind that DNSAT objective-find every way to optimize your schedules, take in the surroundings brought together by your trusty engines, make sure that 15:30 timer never reaches 15:30 :)

@Dracken, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Weekly Winner - November 14th


Choo-Choo Weekly, fresh off the press and right into your News feed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2888308040

Welcome back to Arachnidverse, today local alchemist spiders set out to achieve complete independence and somehow (some kind of putting technology to shame level of unfairness magic again) craft their potent coloured potions with 100% ingredients return. Good thing they still don't know how to brew a locomotive :) No train crashes, 17:00, build a bridge somewhere.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2888145799
An upgrade of https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1919310447

And a long haul train valley with 42:00 timer, earn at least 4 000 000 TV2$ + deliver at least 250 trains (also don't run over any extraterrestrials on your way) objectives-Titan II is both a prime candidate for colonization and a fine example of a terraforming-enhanced, Passenger Flow augmented hard science fiction train puzzle that goes well with a bigger cup of your preferred seasonal beverage.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2887588683

Potato farms and Potato Power Plants, Disassembling Factories, Truck Factories and Kimberlite ore-All The New Goodies is a tricky, surprising train valley that starts a session by asking us to blow up 4 trains and demolish objects worth less than 1 TV2$, a 27:00 long series of investment opportunities and pattern recognition-keep Oil, Workers, Potatoes flowing and decide whether it is time to upgrade your engines or construct that Oil Refinery. Build and rebuild, discover new ways to achieve a restart, work out a strategy-and have fun.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885702914

In this week's Dracken and the Dutch Post-Impressionist painter collaboration we are greeted by superb visuals, 30 Passenger Flow trains, topography layout that makes every track line click into its place by simply guiding it with your mouse in a general direction of where it is supposed to go, DNRT+no wrong deliveries+13:30 timer. Elegant, fun to master and interesting to optimize.

Extending our cordial congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @Dracken! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - October 31st


Would you look at the time-Choo-Choo Weekly is already here!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882450401

Let's address the chameleon in the room - brimming with colours that refreshingly different design looks good both on Workshop previews and in game. Then we have 30 Passenger Flow trains to take care of, let 4 trains enter wrong stations and spend 1 333 333 TV2$, two quest locations and a layout that makes junction building and train driving all the more fun. LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884294479

A cyclone of trains is closing in on your location. Do you dare to earn enough, on time and tame the elemental force comprised of several billion Workers trains? DNDATT, 3 bridges to invest in, 10:00. Unconventional, fun little level.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2885439949

So much to do and-arguably-not enough time (mere 17:00) to spend at least 1 500 000 TV2$, prevent wrong deliveries, complete that multitasking exercise with three quest locations, 12 industries, several supply chains, complete lack of understanding what is a priority at any given moment of time, fastest locomotives ever and an expertly decorated landscape that is worth pushing Pause for a little bit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2884403803

A classic, familiar to an extent yet obviously brand new DNRT and 220 tiles limit train valley rich with Diamonds, Potatoes and Christmas Trees. A very busy community with 18 delivery quests has an additional quest to successfully connect the city to the railway network while working out a solution to battle the chokepoint in the northwest, beautiful tulip fields to build around coupled with industry locations and recipes that promote gradual expansion and track management and a mammoth family that will take the rest of those 16 minutes you've spent watching flying cars.



We are to produce and deliver racing buggies for Island City Motor Racing Circuit championship-we have 19:00 on the timer, directives to avoid train crashes and wrong deliveries from our employers, a starting budget worth a bridge and a half and no plan at all. Yet.

Welcome to Island Racing Track:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882937746

MsSalea's train valley presents an advanced vanilla 2018 experience - terrain colouring, industry placement and junction building both encouraged and controlled through decorations and topography design, a supply chain that relies on several resources and goods constantly produced yet offers two Market stations that can be seen as a meaningful way to earn more earlier in the game, useful and affordable train upgrades and shortcuts that look viable - an LPT and several personal playthroughs later all we can say is...

...Well done @MsSalea-they take away both a Level Of The Week and a Level Of The Month, congrachoolations! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

Weekly Winner - October 31st


Another week - another round of Workshop levels to take a look at.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880937589

Santa's Freight Company Inc. has contracted you to maintain delivery schedules in a well-hidden industrial complex somewhere at the North Pole. We'll be using Hyperloops, cold resistant locomotives and virtually unlimited amounts of TV2$ - at least 3 000 000. Of course we have just around 0 TV2$ at the beginning, but nothing some fishing cannot fix :) 41:00, build 2 tunnels, succeed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881974899

A fun Halloween train valley with many routes to plan for and shortcuts to implement as the game progresses and you receive more income, recipes that will send your trains running in circles before that happens, 12:00 timer and no crashes and/or wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2881538934

A fine scenario with previously undiscovered recipes, top of the line engines, expensive industries and at least 6 bridge sites waiting for our building crews, a landscape that has no place for convenient shortcuts or accidentally spending 75 000 TV2$ on a tunnel because you were too deep in thought and pressed the wrong button :) 14:00, no train crashing allowed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879828317

To make a train valley inside which violet grass will be credible is not enough, but producing a two-level train puzzle with Toll Stations, bodies of orange water obstructing your track building, adding DNRT and DNDATT objectives and combining it all in a specific manner indeed requires labour and thought, a special skill. 13:00, a train puzzle done right.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2879931364

A collaboration with @Blathers and a 16:00 multifacet puzzle that encourages gradual expansion, carefully spending your TV2$ and making sure every train drives to the right station and does not crash on the way there.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880362660

Don't go touching anything in the neatly kept garden, keep your track tile count below 170 and find the passage from zone 7 to area 2 ASAP. 14:00, almost unlimited Chocolate and relatively tricky junctions. Happy Birthday!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2882393225

With easy railroad planning out of the picture and no train crashes or wrong deliveries allowed we'll have to keep in mind that not every shortcut is financially viable, depending on your previous decisions and the way you're dealing with Furniture autotrains. A colourful train valley and a great track laying puzzle. I personally failed it twice :)

Well done @Blathers, your 10 Steam gift card is on its way! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

Weekly Winner - October 24th


It's time to assess some Workshop entries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2877662745

At 23:00 minutes, with delivery quests increasing quantity demands, lack of spare engines and bridge shortcuts that are going to put a dent in your wallet you could try completing De plateaux en plateaux only using bridges to connect neighbouring plateaus-no laying tracks down the canyons! DNDATT and DNSAT icons in the top right corner shouldn't discourage you in any way :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878444587

Generous timers, no train crashes + DNSAT, LPT'ed-Konservy represents a subgenre of Workshop train valleys that has a special place in your levels-to-return-to queue I'm sure-compact, easy to navigate terrain that immediately suggests possible delivery routes combined with vanilla 2018 early Workshop days aesthetics and hassle-free gratifying gameplay with one delivery location and just 4 quests.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876924464 and https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876925013

I've received reports that one could start with the Easy version-figuring that one out makes Hard...well, less hard :) Otherwise just send the first Rocket into the city on Mars and things will pick up the pace from there. Deliver at least 100 trains, earn 5 000 000 TV2$ or more, watch the 35:00 timer and get your bearings around prebuilt tracks before the Martians get to your candy supply.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2878918453

Still kind of tricky even with increased 3-stars timer, Halloween Helpers will keep your mouse on the edge of its pad :) DNDATT, hiring both Spiders and Bats to keep the alchemical potioncrafting industrial complex running, interconnecting existing rails in the West and earning enough to pay the Engineers-all the while not buying more than 2 engines. Phew, that one is a very good train puzzle exercise.

20:00, 145 tile limit, demolition jobs budget of 3 100 TV2$-one of the faster, less forgiving valleys that base its gameplay on funds management, gradually growing railway network that connects a new commodity or resource every step of the way, planning ahead of many kinds and distracting the player with picturesque locations.

Great job @Gelledee, your 10 Steam gift card is on its way! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

Level of the Month - September 2022


Several outposts with low quantity but wide resource variety quests, new technologies to put into use with industries available for construction, at least 2 bridges to build and holding down Shift key while deleting tracks-going over the demolition jobs budget of 1 TV2$ is not an option.

It is time to expand your empire in

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856112380

Upgraded engines and no terraforming-Civilization IV is about steady expansion of your railway system, connecting new industries and combining resources from all over the valley. Colourful landscape with cleverly placed decorations that hint at or outright force to take certain routes, 15:00 on the timer and complex junctions coupled with driving several trains at the same time is a sure recipe for a trademark Train Valley 2 experience.

Congratulations @BenGotham, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you to bring out your level editor skills and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

Weekly Winner - October 17th


The Halloween is (almost) upon us, stocking up on candy and finishing your costume are top priorities-but it's as valid a tactic as always to save your strength and work through some train puzzles, don't you think? :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2874756632

The winter is most certainly on its way and multitasking while your final Halloween preparations are underway is a solid plan. Gather your supplies, stockpile local communities, learn how to get Coal and Iron Ore by processing Fish. 30:00, DNSAT, amusez-vous :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2875822118

An oldschool no terraforming medium industry and decorations density tale of fulfilling one's Halloween wishes coupled with heavy duty high volume treats deliveries. Earn at least 2 000 000 TV2$ with a 41:00 timer and destroy 1 TV2$ worth of anything really.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2874059214

A spinoff of the DooM series, this train valley is full of investment opportunities and magical hazards, tunnel building projects (at least 4!) and generous timers (42:00 for 5 stars to be precise), medium level objects and destinations density and elevated chances of staying up long past your bedtime :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2873880324

DNDATT, 10:00, two autotrains and a whole lot of planning and swift execution holds Feeding Frenzy true to its name-a clever puzzle that tests more than just your choo-chooing skills :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876155659

No unlimited free Workers this time, we have 1 Market that distributes exactly 4 cars for 2 500 TV2$-Investing In People cultivates careful fund allocation, railway network planning on a per tile basis and train scheduling of the highest precision. 9:00, DNDATT, DNRT, LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2875189039

A mysterious mud pit that contains Oil, Coal, Iron Ore, Fish, Chocolate and Uranium-truly, every industrialist's dream :) A lot of track building, many trains, and a bit of dynamite is all we need to see this train valley prosper. DNRT, 20:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2875643657

Another train valley set in @Eijolend's Arachnidverse :) Alchemist spider tribe helping our crashlanded explorers tame ancient autofactories-with potioncraft! Do not buy more than 3 engines, 14:00, a chance to start local Paper industry and invest in a Power Plant as a way of saying thank you.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2876088539

A fine design and a tricky puzzle based on a scene from a very popular space saga. With a 10:00 timer, your task is to deliver explosive payloads and disable the station evading many obstacles-DNDATT, autotrains, local terrain and broken targeting computer :)

Great job @Miaxlo, your 10 Steam gift card is on its way! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

Weekly Winner - October 10th


Read on and find out more about latest (and hopefully not spooky) Workshop submissions:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2872781179

A sequel to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865514365 and a lot more frantic one at that :) A bit of a lucky start would be welcome-it's a Passenger Flow train valley after all-, but it isn't a particularly difficult puzzle per se. Rather, everything happens so fast and at such a high speed you will be better off restarting in case something goes less than optimal. Try avoiding building a tunnel for additional challenge, 12:00, DNRT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871055730

A triple sequel to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2629058901
The Vengeance of DooM could strike at any moment, all is not what it seems and numbers mean nothing. Terraforming actively sabotaging your railway network, at least 10 000 000 TV2$ to accrue, connecting every industry and designing junctions in very limited spaces, not getting spooked-there is a lot to take care of and only 35:30 on the timer.
Granted, there is an Easy version https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871837939 - earn just 5 000 000 TV2$, build 5 or more tunnels, same timers -
with faster funds accumulation and altered layout that offers a warmup of sorts while hinting at possible ways of solving the original.
And then there's https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2871856440 with same requirements as Easy yet a bit different layout from the first two variants. Hard in several ways, DooM's Revenge offer that sense of satisfaction that comes with finishing something challenging.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2872964873
Planning train routes and optimizing your deliveries schedule while watching your shiny engines drive back and forth right through the evil pumpkins seeds and slimy stuff-welcome to Evil Pumpkin's Hub :) Tracks inside the spooky vegetable lantern are independent, there's 16:00 on the timer and the Spider factory is waiting for another Potatoes shipment. A fun, replayable, LPT'ed adventure.

Weekly Winner - October 3rd


We hope the autumn season is treating you well. Let's talk Workshop levels.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2870390562

An attempt to keep Workers in the supply chain as much as possible, Worker Recycling trades decorations for increased resistance to being solved at the first attempt-a 20:00 excercise in not reversing your trains, navigating numerous Disassembling Factories and counting your resources :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869056033

We are to look for a way to raise additional funds. Delivery quests, supplying every industry in the valley with Workers, taking your freshly emitted Bonds to the Bank, not upgrading the engines-in an economy like that a 2 tunnels limit and no train crashes seem like very reasonable objectives.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869312544

This time around Toll Stations prevent us from earning a single TV2$ for delivering Workers to an industry. A finely tuned puzzle with resources coming in batches of 5 and easy to track Market prices-an economy that is easy to ruin by overspending yet quick to analyze and find thy error, a Power shortcut worth investing into during later stages of the game and terraced layout that visually separates the valley and presents an extra railway track planning task. There's a 128 track limit in effect, no demolition jobs allowed and a 18:00 timer. LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2869475686

A colourful maze-looking puzzle of many delivery quests, free renewable Power, generous 35:00 timers, hills unfit for tunnel construction that force us to work around them, zero tolerance for wrong deliveries and vanilla Train Valley 2 campaign vibes-almost feels like 2018 again :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2868347096

A challenging journey to a blooming biotech paradise amidst the ruined scorched wastes. Surrounding communities expect Potatoes and Buggies-and hidden Hyperloop shortcut is just what one needs to restart local industry. Begin by accommodating 35 Passenger Flow trains, comply with the DNRT objective, keep the Oil flowing, explore additional routes and remember you only have 16:30 :) LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2867789288

A Christmas before actual Christmas? Where do I sign? :) We need to boost candy output rates in a secret candy production facility located right next to what looks like the biggest gingerbread house on the planet. It's 10:30 on the timer-and we do not have time for engine upgrades or demolition jobs; stock up on candies and punch and send these favorite Christmas treats everywhere using gingerbread container ships! A neat little adventure that goes well with a cup of hot chocolate :)

Weekly Winner - September 26th



Welcome to Choo-Choo Weekly showcasing new Workshop inventions :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865514365

A fascinating Passenger Flow exercise with a twist - one of the stations is locked behind Customs gates! A Workers squad can unlock those for a time, so spend more points upgrading your Luck stat and hope you don't need that station too often :) 5:00, no wrong deliveries or train crashes.

Time for an upgrade-local automotive crowd wants their old Cars replaced with shiny new high tech buggies. And some alien Artifacts too (fancy paperweights? adornments for new vehicles? We just don't know). Both factories need high volume heavy duty fast paced train deliveries-and you are one of the best in the trade. It might have been a while but it sure is a very enjoyable and LPT'able train valley :) 9:00, DNRT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2865017555

You discover a bug-we find a way to fix it. You find a way to push our Editor's limits-we commend your effort. But when you do both, at the same time? :) Your typical supply chain is upside down-Cars, Tanks and Buses stockpiled, 7.5 Disassembling Factories ready to go and many delivery quests asking for resulting resources. Add a Customs Station, a Pass Limiter, a couple of building sites worth 1 500 000 TV2$ total, THE Electricity bug and a 20:00 timer-and you will get a different kind of puzzle with train juggling, wild resource managing and prioritizing and a very colourful valley to spend at least 3 500 000 TV2$
But not on demolition jobs :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2866212279

Autumn is already here, but can one really argue with going somewhere by train in rainy weather? Nevermind Toll Stations, One Way Stations or Pass Limiters-deliver Buses, spare parts, fuel on time and restart that Natural Rubber Power station, navigate cololurful and moderately treacherous lands, avoid flooded areas, keep up with increasing pace-all the while thinking about ways to increase your efficiency and decrease your final times. 16:00, no wrong deliveries or train crashes.

Great job @Thomas, your 10 Steam gift card is on its way! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

Tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. See you next week, friends!

This latest DLC is our thank you for honest, enthusiastic contribution and feedback, a way to support Flazm Interactive and our future projects, and another step in expanding Train Valley 2 presence on other platforms-including GOG, Epic Games Store, upcoming Playstation, XBox and Nintendo Switch releases along with Android and iOS ports.

Q. Will the original Workshop levels still be accessible after every level pack release?

A. Yes, you can still play original levels from the Workshop - we have preserved level names and completed every level's description with the creator's username.


Q. When will Train Valley 2 arrive to any of the gaming consoles/handhelds/operating systems/game launchers mentioned above?

A. We will keep you posted about any future developments, stay tuned to our Discord's #news channel.

Weekly Winner - September 19th



Hello there! Another week and another bundle of new workshop levels is here. Let's dig in.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2862564561

Another episode of pushing the limits of TV2 Editor and creating environments out of this reality, Through Space And Time looks like a fairytale-trees blooming with penguins, toothy fossils hiding Hyperloop shortcuts, geysers exploding with purple cogs and local rocket launch pad infested with curious underground tentacles-and plays as straightforwardly as any train puzzle by @Dracken :) 13:00, no wrong deliveries or train crashes, you could try avoiding the Toll Station route as an extra challenge. LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2864837254

A great puzzle with many ways to expand the railway network but just enough time to explore them all. Manage your funds, produce and deliver resources for the Buggy factory and maybe spend a minute or two sitting back in your chair and watching your engines navigate this tastefully vanilla looking train valley. 16:30, no wrong deliveries or train crashes.

Great job @LittleBear, we're happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card! Please stand by for a message from our award distribution department.

See you next week, friends!

Weekly Winner - September 12th

Hello friends! Another week, another bundle of new workshop levels. Let's see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859311033
Very minimalistic, very conceptual. The gameplay is simple just like these geometric shapes. Well, almost.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860624928
@thomas made a map with many squares and 12 terraforming events. It's a bit like Whac-A-Mole where the mole is your ready resources. Keep your eyes open.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860688991
Gameplay according to the harsh laws of the Wild West: you will probably have to restart this level several times. You need gold and lots of beef. And try not to disturb the natives people.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2861867543
@Plastickbag made a great puzzle with three drivethrough counters. You must make some buses and related resources. The main thing is to cope with this intersection. Great job @Plastickbag, we're happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card!

See you next week, friends!

Weekly Winner - September 5th


Hi all! The academic year has begun in most educational institutions of the world. Everyone is back from summer holidays and typical autumn weather has arrived in many countries. Perhaps you remembered TV2 for the first time in a long time and are wondering what's new there? The workshop always has something new, and we are pleased to tell you about it! Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856146428 Make something new out of something old? Sounds like a trend! You can try it in @angryxpeh's new work. And to make the game more dynamic, there are 50 more passenger-flow-trains at your disposal.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856958760 Breaking: Maestro @Dracken has made a beautiful map again! There is terraforming here, but you won't have to guess how exactly to start the movement of the platforms. The location of the "elevator operator" is indicated by huge gears, you will definitely find them.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2856112380 Leading the top three today is @BenGotham and his Civilization franchise. Everything is just the way you like it: cities require few resources, but you need to upgrade trains much earlier than you have enough money to do so. We really love it when we can play other games inside TV2! Thanks for your input @BenGotham, the 10 Steam gift card is yours!

As always, we are waiting for you at our LPT events. See you, friends!

A quick 18:00 and simple DNDATT + DNST train valley, a perfect warmup for any aspiring train driving enthusiast :) Throw everything you have at local shortage of building supplies, choose the best bridge configuration and take those 5 stars home.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855240648

An island surrounded by dark waters, locals doing their best to build a sustainable economy, DNRT, 13:00 timer, and quite some ways to improve the Island's transportation network.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2855170037

Tasty, tasty, beautiful level. Can you smell the circus, reader? Theres peanutscotton candyhot dogsand a unique custom built design-an eerie looking amusement park of Passenger Flow routes, Potato Power Plants, autotrains, Pass Limiters and many industries bustling with delivery quests and fine details one will most certainly take time to marvel at. A 200 track tile limit along with a 15:00 timer and something (or someone?) moving at the edge of our peripheral vision will keep us alert and ready. Complex, beautiful, and now the Level Of The Month'August 2022 as well.

Weekly Winner - August 22nd


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2851418780

A 20:00 minute timer that suggests avoiding placing tracks on water tiles as an extra challenge, a modest 15000 TV2$ demolition jobs budget and a steady supply of qualified Workers to man every industry there is. No crashing your trains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2849888721

Cargo containers, Disassembling Factories, investment opportunities, limited building space, track tile and bridge count, a central junction slowly turning into a railway maze-and a relaxed gameplay (but an LPT headache :) 12:30.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850837102

Fill the gap dividing the valley with everything you've got-Potatoes, Sand, Logs, maybe Cows too? Look out for many terraforming events, unaffordable Toll Station fees and possible shortcuts. 14:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850995573

Welcome to Potato Land where you can have potato-based dishes 5 times a day, live inside a giant potato and spend your time growing more potatoes! Deliver at least 88 trains, tame the Potato autotrain, complete 25 Passenger Flow deliveries, strike a deal with potato Customs officials and make potatoes flow. 18:00, don't buy more than 2 engines.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850797771

The terraforming will pave our way to new areas ready for total logistic overhaul, DNDATT and demolition crew on leave will keep things simple-we earn enough to open a second Workers depot and race against the 15:00 timer to deliver all the Copper Ingots and Candies this city needs.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2850336363

DNRT + a 23:00 timer? Perfect! Your Microchips and Rockets and Computers factories with corresponding recipes may look imposing but start simple, accumulate raw resources and make your way up the supply pyramid-and soon you bank account will have more digits than you'll know what to spend on :) A thought-out layout with clever puzzle put right on top of it. Terraformingly funtastic!

Be it a mining province located in a particular kingdom or one of a certain dream researcher's designs, Eldin's only settlement demands Artifacts (made of Candies and Uranium by the way :) and the nigh unreachable industrial side of the valley is missing staff and rail tracks to accommodate Coal and Paper autotrains. 30:00, no wrong deliveries, possible shortcuts to discover.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2847575773

TV2$ are no good for that ferriage, and so we need to get our hands on another form of currency. A small camp is there to rest a little and gather some supplies for the journey. Look out for the secondary Workers station you can build and plan ahead for the Customs Station eagerly eating through Gold Ingots-as well as for the treacherous winding route to it. 16:00, no wrong deliveries and safe travels.

We commend you on this latest success and look forward to seeing even more great creations from you @Dracken ! Keep up the good work! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Your hard work, perseverance, unique perspective and ability to find innovative ways to improve your train valley designs is the key to this success and many to come. Flazm Interactive is very impressed with the contribution you made to the Workshop and Train Valley community, thank you.
An easy one this time so we can celebrate too: navigate hilly terrain, accrue 1 000 000 TV2$ and build 10 (or more) tunnels in 18:00 (or less) minutes. Meet us and @thomas by the pool, thinking about new, better, Train Valley related content :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2845510051

An ultimate 32:00 DNSAT test of your snack supplies and problem solving skills-maneuvering around multiple bodies of water with zero bridge building options and spending available funds carefully included, be it engine upgrades or funding the next 1 000 000 TV2$ factory construction project.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2843378301

Setting up your train models and using everyday objects instead of train set props is a particular kind of fun :) Things like paper rolls, books, drawing supplies turn into stations, tunnels and mountains as soon as your first engine departs. 15:00 DNRT Hyperloop adventure right on top of your homework-just make sure you've done your equations.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2844544834

Don't mind the kraken and friends chilling in the river right next to a mountain of very normal sized gold coins-with DNRT and 15:00 timer we barely have time to pay the desert city peoples with Sand (a possible quirk of local supply pyramid :) and other commodities so that they magically raise ground to support our megabridge across those peaceful, rainbow coloured waters-and then build our tracks into the Mushroom Forest, home of the Gigatree tribe.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2844928139

A 185 track tiles limit, two 150 000 TV2$ Toll Stations placed in key access points (dragon and spider kingdoms having a minor disagreement), 17:00 and a flooded Farm to rescue. It's either coming up with the money or finding a way to smuggle resources out to keep everybody happy and unaware. Terrific execution of an interesting idea in a plausible setting.

We commend you on this latest success and look forward to seeing even more great creations from you @Plastickbag ! Keep up the good work!

Weekly Winner - August 1st


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2840509343

25 Passenger Flow ones and a single Coal delivery quest-with DNDATT and limited, heavily forested building space. And don't crash any of those 5 shiny fresh-out-off-the-line engines.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841060398

Sure, this one is just no wrong deliveries and no crashes, but the only delivery quest location is completely sealed off with just one way in and out-by the same mountain range that disconnects two key industries from the rest of the valley! That layout looks way easier and simpler than it plays :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841593572

60:00 DNSAT-and the only thing to do is funding new industries construction and driving your engines around using a ready railway network. The difficulty is to find the good path... the best path. A definitely refreshing experience considering starting amount of TV2$ :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2842141912

Mysterious, inaccessible, other side on the Moon. Do we really have any idea about what's going on there? Teleporting sheep, a chunk of regolith missing that looks like someone or something decided to have a taste, flying space laser bears, crystal trees and booming industry that just posted a contract for dependable, heavy duty train delivery system. 20:00, no train crashing, many suspicious sounds.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841421343

Approaching 2000 Workshop levels, @unclekrusty decided to start the celebrations preemptively by publishing their 50th creation :) Congratulations on that incredible milestone, you have our gratitude and appreciation for your efforts over the years; your abilities and dedication to your craft have helped the success of our LPT challenges and TV2 community in general. We are already waiting for your 51st upload :)
The Milestone Mixtape is on repeat and exactly 18 minutes long-with many advanced goods to produce and deliver across a busy, Passenger Flow trains-populated representation of a magnetic tape recorder. Hurry up and see what's on side B :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841424352

To start recycling huge piles of garbage lying around we need to make sure industrial machine is functioning-like clockwork. Taming the Workers autotrains, building around or mapping demolition tasks straight through somewhat expensive trash, avoiding train crashes and wrong deliveries-all in a 28:20's work.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2841065439

We're playing hide-and-seek in a hedge maze with high-speed electric locomotives, finally! :) No reversing your trains, no wrong deliveries and absolutely no peeking; 45 Passenger Flow deliveries and a lot of presents to unpack and distribute among children-Books, Chocolate, Teddy Bears... If only that party lasted longer than 12:00 :)

We commend you on this latest success and look forward to seeing even more great things from you @Dracken ! Keep up the good work!

Weekly Winner - July 25th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837155353

The River rages through the valley and 10 available bridge spots as well as 2 already existing bridges are the only way to connect bustling cities with remote Wood and Coal industries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2839574378

A summer valley
Terminal requesting Airplanes
No crashing trains.


Very generous 20:00 timer, a Customs Station and an objective to earn at least 500 000 TV2$, trademark outside-the-level-boundaries passageways and abundance of Workers, Japan Airport Station needs just a Power Plant connected to shine :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2839927827

They're taking our Cows, our water and our newspaper's headlines. And they've brought a DNSAT objective with them! Flood the valley with Cows and bottled water, do not destroy anything and keep your eye on the saucers.



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2837369066

A train valley nothing short of a fairy-tale that takes place in a children's bedtime stories book-right there on the pages! Noble knight's dangerous quest for seven Cyber Crystals ends in the mysterious castle, and getting there means constructing a bridge while operating on a very limited amount of building space, learning many new Spider-based recipes-and not destroying a single track tile. Ready the watercolors and get new batteries for your train set, Once Upon A Time there lived a train puzzle enthusiast...

A combo double win for @Dracken-they take away both a Level Of The Week and a Level Of The Month'July 2022 awards! Congrachoolations! All the Steam gift cards will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - July 18th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2835216059

The city wants Cars (yellow only for some reason), Bonds and Building Materials. Shallow waters surrounding it are no match for our diesel locomotives, so setting up a shortcut to the city's industrial district is a matter of funding. Very generous timers.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833971450

Inspired by a certain train board game this valley is full of Passenger Flow deliveries, grass patches that look like a code of some sort with a pattern to their colouring and a ban on destroying anything worth more than 1000 TV2$ or demolishing any track tiles-a clever design with 14:00, T2R Europe is here to steal our evening :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836503425

There is a blackout simulation planned at exactly 3:30, so you better get some potatoes by then, or try completing the level in 3:29 :) Don't forget about not destroying anything worth more 99 TV2$ too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2834685966

Terraforming divine intervention style, 20 Passenger Flow trains, local Torch industry in ruins and we are to somehow earn 750 000 TV2$ and then spend every last cent of it? Say no more, for we have 13:30 and unlimited restarts :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2835633388

Those space conglomerates are squeezing every standard credit they can of any astronomical body they can land on-this martian colony has both heavy industry installations and tourist attractions right next to each other. We even have an engine limit of 5! Set up incoming supplies unpacking and redistribution, get the power Plant going and roll out Artifacts and Cyber Crystals autofactories, then go looking for that secret passage and save some credits by building less tracks :) A grand adventure with lots of twists and turns.

Weekly Winner - July 11th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830930379

We're here to see through this underdeveloped valley's progress-with a twist: 5 trains have to enter a wrong station. No time to question our employer's motives, there's every staple resource any growing town requires to investigate, develop and utilize.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830968985

A DNSAT Tier-1 ride to the Endeen Mountain valley where heavy industry supply chains have plenty of everything except logistic connections and local bridge building subcontractors are about to become very rich :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830702804

We have to win this valley back from deep waters, industry by industry, track tile by track tile. Quite some construction opportunities, Potatoes and Spiders-based recipes and one flying saucer later that 30:00 5-stars timer better be still ticking :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830078159

A [Relax ver.] of https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816920723

With DNUP switched for a DNRT objective, the timer cut down to 13:00 and delivery quests' amounts adjusted this valley retains same enjoyable design and fine gameplay, a backstory including some Shinto-Buddhist folklore-and we get to visit the Temple of the Potato. LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2832333294

Brimming with colourful crystals and Pass Limiter Stations, advanced Cyber Crystal and Yellow Buses factories and adapted to a subterranean lifestyle giraffes, Crystal Mountains is about going faster and faster for the next 15:30 :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833403951

Building tracks on the water is back on the menu! So is the most exotic Canned Goods recipe and a very novel way of combining some coloured letters into actual cash. Highly entertaining, DNDATT :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830614038

30:00, DNSAT, narrow streets to build on, 60 Passenger Flow trains scheduled, two delivery quest locations, industries to invest into and 55 000 TV2$ in our bank account-a challenge with a bit of everything.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2833135530

A sequel to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811932683

that takes place in a birthday cake looking valley plagued by oversized pumpkins, symmetrical timers and a ban on any demolition jobs. Getting into that locomotive puzzle is way easier than getting out and not restarting :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2830922152

It's an expedition-for cow eggs! To get to the cow nest though you have to start a camp, find every spider, resupply your ship for a journey back home and start a cow farm! You can blow many things up, but not that Customs Station (presumably operated by spiders too). Terrific landscaping, enjoyable progression, LPT'ed.

Supplying local farmers' market and cannery with fresh produce while enjoying a well composed railway track building and scheduling problem. Working with longer recharge times of Pass Limiter stations shielding quest cities from easy shortcut usage along with that 65 000 TV2$ demolition job budget. A 16:00 train valley by @Gatebase.

We hope you enjoy your stay at the

A quaint and successfully LPT'ed adventure centered around agriculture with Myths And Rails food related resources and goods sporting lively decorated river banks and costly bridge projects to plan ahead for. Take your time and find a better approach during yet another playthrough-approved by CCW editorial stuff as very suitable for a fun train driving+puzzle solving session :)

Congratulations @Gatebase, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Weekly Winner - July 4th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826971158

A fine little puzzle to start off your Train valley run. 15:00, DNDATT, a Workers autotrain and terrain that both suggests routes to take and restricts one from taking the most obvious pathways.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828974189

Follow the existing railway tracks, upgrade your locomotives, reconnect Power and take local Canned Food industry to the next level :) 13:20, no wrong deliveries and no crashing trains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827176900

Spend at least 400 000 TV2$, crash at least 40 trains and try making some Bats deliveries while you're at it. 30:00, try completing that on at x2 game speed :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828210007

Six separate delivery quest locations and at least five Passenger Flow stations will test the limits of your preferred controller device :) The only bridge you can use-the only one that connects two parts of the river valley-will test your strategic thinking and scheduling skills too. 50:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826790363

Nothing like a contract somewhere at the North Pole in the middle of hot summer: below zero temperatures, no bridge building, ice fishing, trainspotting with polar bears, DNSAT and no need for AC :) 43:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829920921

We're building a first set of railway tracks for a newly invented steam locomotive, and to prove its financial viability we are to make it the most efficient and fast logistics network-which won't be too difficult since it is the first of its kind :) Earn at least 100 000 TV2$, DNSAT, 12:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829372814

Passenger Flow, track building, treacherous terrain and tight funding. DNRT, 19:00, spartan looks and many people counting on us to get around-on time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826879290

Big city=big demands, and Train Valley 2 is almost never about things being easy :) The old oil pump jack will just not do-one of our objectives is to secure the oil platform and deliver oil via a tanker. Problem is the seaport is privately owned and has its own Customs station + this is a 21:00 DNSAT and DNDATT valley too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826693628

Yes, yes we can power Mars with trees and potatoes. And we will :) Why not use both resources since we've learned how to grow that right here planetside? No Customs stations and restricted engine upgrading are enough to even slow our progress down, but detailed and colourful surroundings probably will steal our attention and some seconds off the 17:00 timer :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2828219596

Build 40 bridges amidst constant terraforming of the Treasure Archipelago, your trains cruising just above the clouds, factories digging deep into levitating rock, unearthing magical artifacts, getting energy from the winds, steam powered airships moored and waiting for resupply. A charming design with adept execution, 13:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829289487

Unique approach to terraforming neatly decorated terrain-a valley divided into independent parts that require multitasking and are later to reunite and reinforce local industry, marvelous dynamics and a very enjoyable puzzle. 12:00, no destroying any fungi worth more than 2000 TV2$, LPT'ed.

Extending our cordial congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @LittleBear! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - June 27th



An assortment of levels by @artemiyk20-simpler they look, better they play :) Introducing:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823554296

One bridge to rule them all with quests and industries mixed and distributed on both sides of this river valley. Plenty of space for our tracks and very generous 50:00 timers to let us concentrate on bringing at least 700 000 TV2$ in.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823919520

Constant stream of tourist filled Passenger Flow autotrains keeps railway schedules of this sakura grove valley busy and our job is to find some extra time to deliver and process and ship all that gold and gold related products :) 28:00, DNSAT and DNDATT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823539150

Use the power of a nuclear power plant to set up car production. Use skilled train driving to deliver fuel for the plant and set up parts and resources deliveries for the automotive industries-after you invest money you've previously earned to construct those :) DNDATT, 36:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825163013

Another valley waiting for investment, logistical upgrade and industrial prosperity. Mind the ruined railway track and start building industries and destroying 25 000 TV2$ worth of objects ASAP-we only have 35:00 on the timer :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823620890
and
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823767014

We're contracted to build a railway network on rapidly melting ice. In 13:00 or 16:00, while trying to locate and destroy object(s?) worth 40 000 TV2$ and not to crash a single train. Watch out for terraforming events and work around the Customs station. A refreshing challenge(s? :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823998424

A robust transportation infrastructure is missing around your freshly established trade hub and local work force is relying on shoddy outposts? Call 123-456-TV2 and schedule a complete overhaul of your logistics today :) In 22:00 (or less), with just 3 bridges (or less) and almost no additional tunnels your delivery and production speeds will increase, waiting times and wasted Power units count will go down and your bank account balance will stop fitting inside one bank :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2824741160

Canned Food and Fish shipments seem like a reasonable price to postpone the terrible monster's arrival. Local silicon valley Microchip and Computer factories will need our attention as well, along with the Engineers autotrain and a One Way Station. 12:00, build 4 or more bridges, DNRT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825812761
and
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2823739311

This week's LPT levels duo is packed with bus related adventures. Producing new Buses, recycling old Buses, establishing supply chains for your Bus factories, delivering Buses-the list goes on :) Pick your flavour of a Bus adventure-a 11:00 DNSAT complex landscape challenge by @petronille_marie or a 17:00 terraforming puzzle with no train crashes by @LittleBear and an excellent gameplay with some fine train driving you will get.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2825331204

An impressive multilevel railway maze with decorations seamlessly fused with terrain that still manages to offer some clues as to how your next junction might look like and train driving that requires constant attention. Do not build more than 13 bridges (consider that a hint :), 28:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826050883

A level hand crafted to make us look for a better path to a certain destination only to find one suitable for a completely different direction :) Many track building decisions to make, even more rock formations to remove, elevated replayability levels, DNRT and 23:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2826416335

Two sets of Hyperloop tunnels is the only connection there is for different parts of today's winner's train valley. Before we progress enough to complete certain 12-unit delivery quests and trigger terraforming, we'll have to keep these choke points in mind when building rails and scheduling trains. Many industries to connect, a complex supply chain to maintain and a 22:00 timer, no train crashing, no wrong deliveries policy to adhere to.

Extending our cordial congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @LittleBear! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - June 20th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821764049

A river dividing the valley in two-but this time around it is a proper bridge junction instead of separate bridge connections-with several decisions to make early that decide the lategame outcome. A very well thought out 7:30 DNSAT level, LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821402900

One bridge, a tunnel, 20:00 and 280 grain hoppers to deliver. Dismantle armor and rockets, construct trucks and vans, use resulting resources to power the valley, ship even more grain into the city, restore damaged railway network parts, set up Worker deliveries to local farms and get this train valley's industry back on its feet.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820720187

A quickest supply run this week, Something From Nothing is a (surely :) less than 5 minutes DNDATT train valley with fast locomotives, a Disassembling Factory capable of turning yellow Buses into just as yellow Cars with an assortment of unused parts for an output as a part of a cycle of dismantling, refurbishing and reconstructing motor vehicles to better suit the needs of a nearby city and topography that further reinforces the circular movement of your trains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2822228283

A sequel to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820328539

Life on other planets is still strange :) Resource mining and processing changed both landscape and layout so much so modifying existing railway network will not be enough. Build anew, do not destroy anything of value, supply Diamonds and Artefacts to the central biodome cluster, start investigating and investing into planetside food production and look out for your expansion's terraforming consequences. 12:00, DNSAT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820823621

A colourful layout with relaxed Passenger Flow schedule and a 45:00 timer, Rapid River Valley is a design that keeps puzzle difficulty at a steady level. Add the objective to destroy at least 500 000 TV2$ worth of anything and advanced bridgecraft masterfully woven into local terrain in the mix and you will get a train valley that fits any time of day and goes well with any beverage :) DNRT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2821909724

Detailed decoration combining seemingly everything Editor has, a brood of huts on chicken kegs, some kind of a financial institution run by penguins that sends TV2$ 6 000 to our account like clockwork, a spider autotrain, DNRT, a Passenger Flow network with multiple stations, many delivery quest locations... There is a lot going on in Penguin's Park and we have just 12 minutes :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820356271

The Laboratory that is big enough to need a city built around it is where our next adventure will be taking place. Resource acquisition installations and processing/supply depots to build a complicated railway junction around, a copper autotrain and a Coal mine awaiting railway connection just across the river (try delivering Bricks first), DNDATT and DNUE objectives and indeed not evil timers :) A fun train valley with intermediate goals to work out and resulting replayability.

Allow us to extend our collective congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @singularskittle! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Level of the Month - May 2022



A river of lava crosses the valley from north to south dividing it into very much disconnected parts. While our safety people are busy listing all the reasons as to why building anything over deep bodies of molten rock might be dangerous, we could start by reinvigorating logistic network and connecting stone pillars with local industries conveniently occupying them. With 9 or more bridges, yes.

Next stop:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2804367193

Won't be easy (or cheap)-both topography and overgrowth will hamper our progress, not to mention magic spider chocolatiers being very picky about having rail tracks next to their shop and a 22:00 timer constantly ticking while we are struggling to fund another expensive engineering wonder :) A fun and replayable puzzle with attractive layout and excellent gameplay.

Congratulations @Plastickbag, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you to bring out your level editor skills and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - June 13th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817767504

A DNSAT level about having fun and succeeding; an unusual combination I'm sure, and yet 8:00 timer, accessible terrain and magical backstory make for a fine exercise. Now where does one find toads in TV2?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817954855

A prequel to

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809060550

as well as an answer to the "What would a @Bengotham DNUP level look like?" :)

A strange potato-shaped object is still smoking from reentry and Russets are already contracting us to establish the first set of railway tracks and help them build a research facility. Slower locomotives, some industries to erect, a suspicious purple tentacle sticking out of the water, a forgiving 18:00 timer. I am sure the artifact will be grateful for our assistance too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818575798
Our demolition crews on a leave this time-no track tiles can be removed-so we will blow things up using Steel Slabs (not sure about the specifics here, but it is most definitely doable :) Some advanced resource and component shuffling between several Disassembling Factories later we are to have at least 1 000 000 TV2$ to our name and less than 7:00 on the timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818786518
Tater Town is about to become world's rocket science capital and we're here to facilitate the transition. Reconnect the islands, build around the purple guest from the deep, mind the Pass Limiter charging times and get potatoes and diamonds coming! 5 or more bridges, 170 or more track tiles, 13 minutes and a stealthy quest marker behind your locomotives list.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820305840
A train valley boasting an underwater section with separate access and Passenger Flow deliveries connecting two parts from the very start; a quite challenging 22 minutes long DNRT ride that has a little bit of, well, everything-from Disassembling Factories to Pass Limiters, Buggies, Toll Stations and flying submarines :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820328539
Alien, very colourful and ours for the taking, Alien Sea is a train valley set on a very alien yet strangely welcoming planet. Full with resources to process and introduce into our production chains, pink passages and purple hills to support our railway tracks and several small settlements waiting to buy our entire stock. Our demolition crew couldn't make it, 11:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819654055
Nuclear kaiju monster trucks from the deep in a terrorizing seaside city scenario with high speed train deliveries and terraforming events? Destroy at least 1 100 000 TV2$ worth of stuff and blow up at least 5 trains objectives are there too :) I've already said too much, but know that King Of The Monster Trucks is a wonderful puzzle built on top of a very unusual premise using many new objects and industries, with different choices to make and enjoyment to be had. 16:30, very replayable.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819743994
Welcome To The Machine with undetermined programming and output that apparently can be upgraded to run more efficiently. Navigate numerous moving parts and exercise caution with engine purchases and upgrades-the machine's mysterious creators/owners probably won't overlook even minor damage. 12:00, Passenger Flow mechanics and a super expensive octopus shortcut.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818337726
An industrial complex that runs on Steel Slabs and some Power yet is able to produce almost every kind of product and resource there is... Be it alchemy, magic or alien tech, our job is rather simple-build, connect, schedule, earn 1 200 000 TV2$ in under 18:00 and do not ask questions :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817635572
Terraforming events at 17:30 and 18:00, at least 3 tunnels to build, hidden hyperloop connections, Passenger Flow mechanics, a Pass Limiter station, 25 minutes on the timer and highly detailed, top notch surroundings to navigate, explore and overcome are waiting for us in New Babylon. An amalgamation of biomes, aesthetics, industry types and mechanics crafted into a wonderful train puzzle.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2819697388
Last stop of our today's wild ride is back on Earth by the looks of it-we're helping with supplying local farmers' market and a couple businesses with fresh produce. Our only real obstacle seems to be that Pass Limiter with 3 charges and long recharge times, but we'll find out in a minute that actually finding an optimal approach and designing your track system (along with that 65 000 TV2$ demolition job budget) is paramount. An expertly built level and a very well composed puzzle.

Allow us to extend our collective congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @Gatebase! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - June 6th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816268004

A snowy valley in the middle of June, with terraforming, shortcuts appearing and disappearing, mammoths minding their business and diamond industry growing steadily-but not without our help :) 9:00, no demolition jobs available, pleasant surroundings to look at and build around.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814804837

An island with every food industry out there and an unstoppable Chocolate factory with seemingly limitless supply. Autotrains, flying cars, colleagues from a neighbouring star system, different recipes and tons of quests to complete with just 10 minutes on the timer and a 160 track tiles limit. Colourful design with newest mechanics and decorations + familiar gameplay.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816474068

A trademark Disassembling Factory with many vehicle producing industries and locomotives on a slower side @Thomas level. 10 minutes on the timer, no turning trains around and 3 wrong deliveries requirement. Deceptively simple, objectively fun :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816920723

A DNP train driving puzzle with emphasis on no pause and train driving part :) Embargo and Toll stations to dial the difficulty to 11 and an out of our view shortcut to confuse us further, Spirited Away is an multifaceted adventure with several layers of difficulty and backstory, possibly including some Shinto-Buddhist folklore too. We get to visit the Temple of the Potato, set up Gold deliveries through the Sacred Mountains and into the Fertile Islands-in under 14:00 and without destroying a single track tile.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2816956730

Sometimes things don't work out, and today we get to recoup some of our investments before starting anew somewhere else. We need to salvage everything of value and construct a colony ship while sustaining periodic meteor bombardment-every 4 minutes to be precise. Keep our engineers safe, do not build more than 2 bridges or tunnels. We have 18 minutes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814686306
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2817330328

How can the first railway line on a certain flat disc-shaped world carried by a space-faring turtle be connected to waste management? We just don't know :) We do know however that whichever edition you pick, The Great A'Tuin proves to be a fine design-both from visual and gameplay standpoints, deploying Myths And Rails mechanics and decorations to deliver a wonderful 15:00 DNUP/17:00 and no train crashing experience.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2818176603

We're given 20 seconds as the new Urban Planner to assess the situation before an endless stream of Workers autotrains commences. Reconnect the Power, explore the premises and get to work-build at least 10 bridges, deliver at least 300 trains, spend less than 28 minutes and fund every construction project there is. An exciting race against time with quite a bit of train management.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2815109217

Everything is under control, HQ-the giant skeleton found in local cyan waters is almost certainly out of commission, extensive geyser system constantly testing limits of our biodomes reliably prevents any mining efforts, harsh conditions are present around the clock, purple tinged fish fingers supply plainly refuse to end and there is a 10 minutes delay for every supply ship. Both the Hyperloop and Buggy factory are still operational and so is your starting locomotive. 10 minutes, failure is not listed as an option.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2815575827

Clever terraforming and an array of Pass Limiter stations-choose a path, eventually come to a realization that it is not the most optimal one, restart :) An original take on many paths to same set of objectives design paradigm with new station type, an intricately constructed challenge with expertly decorated and coloured terrain. 8:00 and absolutely no track demolishing + a TV2$ 1000 budget for non-track demolition jobs.

Allow us to extend our collective congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @Gelledee! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Fine tuning a complex mechanism of unknown origin powered by a Potato Power Plant - with many connected moving parts, Disassembling Factories, Pass Limiter stations and some Passenger Flow deliveries on top, limited building space and intricate yet thoroughly detailed layout. Special care needs to be taken not to disturb fragile components of the machine with additional engines or upgrading existing ones. Ready your precision tools-the timers are already eating at the 12:00 limit.

First prize! Congratulations @Dracken!

A world resting on four elephants standing on THE space-dwelling star turtle. Nobody knows where it goes or why-but right now we are tasked with upgrading local logistics network with rail tracks and steam locomotives. Pay attention to fire-breathing fauna representatives and make sure every industrial establishment is well supplied and properly connected. Complete an additional construction project and you may find enough seconds left out of a the 15:00 DNUP timer to cast a look or two beyond the edge, or marvel at the giant beasts that keep this train valley properly oriented in space :)

Congratulations everybody! Steam Wallet funds will be delivered to the winners by our contact ASAP.

Thank you for many interesting and refreshing Workshop uploads, different design approaches and ideas, almost 300 LPTs conquered as well as your apt suggestions and fair assessments in the Forums and on Discord. We can't wait to see your new creations and play them together.

See you in a bit!

Weekly Winner - May 30th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814370606

Last chance to build a snowman and drive some trains in the snow, Although It Is Spring is a doughnut-shaped train puzzle boasting a One Way station, a Disassembling Factory, a Pass Limiter and a bit of a terraforming surprise. At least 5 bridges to build, no train crashes, 17:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2814322817

Deep space colony urban development with low gravity train deliveries! Unknown metal discovery demands immediate investigation by means of AI-equipped reconnaissance vehicles to be built planetside. Then there's expanding the colony to be supported by resupply and construction vehicles. Multiple pricey construction projects, bleeding edge space tech, 70:00 timer, no railway track deletion allowed, hyperloop and Pass Limiter installations present.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811695650

Back up local truckers with a strong railway network-there's no turning your trains back on the way to profit and prosperity. No wrong deliveries either, as well as no working around Customs or building a Pass Limiter connected to even more Customs :) 11:00, three separate delivery quest locations, expensive construction projects, building materials somehow made of yellow automobiles :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812860867

Another offworld settlement in need of transportation upgrades. Kimberlite mines are working around the clock and cannot keep up with the demand, the colony demands more ground vehicles, personnel, tools and processed metals. We are limited by 140 track tiles and 18 minutes flat, but estimated profits of at least 3 800 000 TV2$ will keep us motivated :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812577389

Boil'em, mash'em, stick'em in a stew.
Even terraforming worms couldn't say no to that-so much so that local potato fields are completely overrun and fortified against track laying attempts. We are to produce and deliver significant explosive torches supplies to combat the infestation, take back local Power Plant AND keep local businesses running and resupplied. 14:00, no turning your trains back and no demolition jobs-we're trying a stealthy approach :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811932683

Passenger Flow that familiar-looking colourful train valley to fund new railway junctions and fuel local industries output to turn that railway roundabout into a super efficient and highly profitable complex. 11:11, no wrong deliveries and still no demolition allowed. Pay no attention to the cows :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2812612956

In just 8 minutes we'll work through a Pass Limiter, Buggy shortage, illegally high Toll Station rates, two tunnels limit, a Warehouse filled with Steel Slabs and a One Way Station that isn't big on making friends :) Look out for local terrain's peculiarities and use provided locomotives without crashing any. A lot to deliver and even more to plan ahead in order to meet the Quick Quota.

Allow us to extend our collective congratulations on winning the Level Of The Week award to @Blathers! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - May 23rd



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811419867

Out in the sea one cannot find no demolition crews. No train reversing.
Oh, but all manners of adventure await us there-a sandworm that's a bit lost, marshmallow-riding octopuses guarding an underwater facility, secret Cyber Crystal factories and explosions among other things. A 15:00 valley designed to test one's ingenuity :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2810811315

A fast 9:10 DNSAT adventure-diamonds, secret perfume ingredient and fine landscaping with intertwining junctions to build and some mistakes to be made along the way. No wrong deliveries, LPT'ed :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809705402

Definitely no faster routes to be found on your 7th playthrough of this one :) Production operation of a certain iconic dish is in need of some serious scaling up and delivering ingredients by a trainload is what we're after today. No engine upgrades and a 3 bridge limit will only warm our puzzle solving skills up. 11:40, look out for that power plant eating all your potatoes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809422619

DNRT 35:00 long haul-we are tasked with automating a rocket base by producing complex robots while constructing a cruise liner port and handling tourists visiting the base. Plan carefully-no demolition job slots available-and act fast, for the Space Age does not wait.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809357822

Nothing like a little bit of smuggling in the morning :) Diamonds seem to be the new craze and we're going to move a lot-after swapping the diamonds used in the jewelry with glass stones-through that Pass Limiter station, timing departures to avoid raising suspicion. Might as well make at least a 1 000 000 TV2$ deposit to our bank account while dealing with local terraforming-toting outlaws. DNSAT, 15:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2809060550

We've been told our next contractor is a little bit...eccentric. Mentioning some kind of...third party that has recently arrived and requires their utmost attention. We are to establish an efficient railroad network for rapidly expanding local businesses with as little hustle and distraction as possible-no wrong deliveries and most certainly no train crashes. Don't go asking too much about local alchemical shop preferred potion ingredient and ignore the whole giant squid wrestling a ship business too :) 18:00, bzzzt!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2810332021

Just don't ask where your food comes from...and go along with wonderful new recipes calling for strange looking but totally harmless and super edible alien eggs! Same eggs we get Coal and Sand out of you say?...
Timed terraforming events keep you on alert, admiring great landscaping and colouring gets in the way of track planning, and bonus 19:30 timer, DNRT objective and updated water add to replayability value of Magical Eggs train puzzle :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2811286767

The city of Therum calls for a good industrialist, and TV2 community shall answer! We're here to upgrade local logistics network with latest railway tech and help satisfy the ever growing population's demands. Building around luxurious skyscrapers, spending small fortunes on power plants, handling two autotrain deliveries and looking at a 35:00 timer every 30 minutes or so is what Industrial Metropolis is about :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808838136

Nothing's free in Waterworld.
A locomotive fleet in need of upgrades, several key industries waiting for construction funds and dry land in high demand-this train valley is still on its way to economic expansion and industrial growth. A very welcome blend of advanced design/decorations placement and vanilla evenly-paced gameplay. 18:00, no wrong deliveries please.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808738939

Modern dragons require modern tributes-and Cyber Crystals and Artifacts to make usual Gold and Diamonds more appealing is a start. Construct the mines deep in the fairy forest, avoid damaging the trees and keep the Pass Limiter and the 8:45 timer in mind. A colourful fairytale about paying your taxes on time set in mythical lands with diesel powered locomotives, giant mushrooms and a dragon-owned fortress on a mountain :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808485400

Yeah, they were all yellow.

We're here to build a supply chain consisting entirely of yellow coloured resources. Yellow buses, very yellow potato mines, yellow fuel barrels-you get the idea :) 9 minutes, build at least 3 tunnels and deliver 57 or more trains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2806938390

A toy box full of new additions, a mix of some recent additions to the Editor with both new props and Pass Limiter Station, Disassembling Factories and a track tile limit, Shiny New Toys is a fine 25:00 demo of what one can do with some free time and imagination :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807646987

A race against 12:00 time, empty bank account and ramping up Passenger Flow numbers while trying to meet delivery quotas for building supplies and building 100 or less track tiles :) Six fastest locomotives, banned track demolition, colour palette and layout that take us back to earlier Workshop days and frantic gameplay to look forward to.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808371211

A colourful mix-at least three supply chains to maintain and at least 2 tunnels to build, 17 minutes timer, many industries evenly spaced across several biomes, Disassembling Factories, a prototype Power Plant and a submarine. Start by filling up the potato warehouse :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2808096141

A train valley that looks like a certain plastic construction toy set, The Curse Of Skull Island is a tale of a consortium of octopus pirates that captured the archipelago and is pillaging every ship they lay their extremities on. We're paid in gold bonds, so supply warmongering octopods with rare chocolates and exquisite poisons and get rich-at least 1 700 000 TV2$ rich, fast-no more than 13:59 fast :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2807267529

Stunning and impressive are two most used words in the comment section of Feed The Dragon and here's why. There's the level design-just click the link above-and then there's the gameplay. With just three Pass Limiter stations deployed we get an explosion of possibilities after a few first deliveries that proves overwhelming even with easier no wrong deliveries and no train crashes objectives. A finely crafted train valley and a must-play.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802702087

Magical trees, brightly coloured liquids and chemical element number 79; a spooky mountainous setting with hidden passageways, a mysterious castle and some very interesting potion brewing facility design that will present us with additional terraforming puzzles as the level progresses, 13:30 and no train crashes or wrong deliveries. A fun and attractive train valley with a tricky evolving layout.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2804367193

A lava river separated the valley and spiders cannot deliver chocolate to the town on the right side! Thankfully every major destination is built on a hill and we will restore access by constructing a lot of bridges-at least 9 :) Avoid train crashes, keep in mind the 22:00 timer and bridge the two sides again.

Expert landscaping this one, with a divided in two train valley that can't be solved by a couple of tunnels. A slow start, sure, but since both sides require equal amount of attention and the actual connection has to be rebuilt gradually, The Old Trail proved to be a fine train puzzle-very LPT'eable, elevated replayability potential, tough but gratifying experience. 18 minutes, no train crashes or wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2799531940

Local farmers/potionmakers are in need of a smuggling run using our finest hyperloop crew. The contract includes exclusive transportation right for the entire valley, so making some extra funds (around 1 400 000 TV2$) on the side is a good idea. We have to maintain cover, so there is a track tile limit of 180 pieces too. 12 minutes on a timer and fine colourful landscape await your construction orders-don't let Customs officers stop you :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802036498

We have everything we need to concentrate our attention on making deliveries-a set of locomotives, completed track layout, 0 TV2$ to our name and a DNSAT 23:30 environment that won't let us build more than 20 track tiles too :) An excellent puzzle that is about strategy and planning and driving your trains round that big Round Mountain.

Passenger Flow your way to a six digit bank account and bridge two river banks into a single railway track system.

Beautiful, oldschool even landscaping (adorned with occasional train wreckage) that does not get old after many tries, multilevel train valley lined with long track routes to-and-fro abundant industrial sites, complex railway layout designed to maintain its difficulty without exceeding it, two to seventeen interlinked supply chains to test our multitasking skills.

A fitting testament to creativity, inventiveness and well developed problem solving skills-both @Dracken's and ours :)

Weekly Winner - April 25th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2798253841

Bridge building training day! At least 7 bridges to build while keeping in mind you can demolish one and build another one, somewhere more suitable. A 10:30 puzzle with minimalistic design that hints at some routing solutions, a @thomas classic by @thomas :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2798088835

We will fight the terrain, we will wrestle supply chain difficulties, we will overcome time constraints (12:30), DNSAT and at least 2 tunnels built requirement, we will adapt to the path finding-so much so that we have LPT'ed Geological Circus and found it to be a very fun train valley :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2799313568

DNSAT, DNDATT, 42:00 and just 8 delivery quests. An old school layout and colour scheme, just enough space for your junctions and some crucial investments to plan for. Some room for mistakes too :) An excellent example of a long haul train valley.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2796866145

18:00 DNRT Passenger Flow puzzle with an extra difficulty modifier-we may build bridges to drive across the archipelago instead of laying tracks straight onto the water. The tourist influx is never failing in these parts, and we are tasked with managing both public transit and supply chains for local businesses and industries. Pleasant to look at, fun to play through, challenging yet doable.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @Inunderstandable me! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Level of the Month - March 2022



Level of the Month March 2022 edition is here-a tale about designing a track layout to evade numerous obstacles with a 1000 TV2$ demolition job budget in mind, building said tracks unto a city districted around terrain level and industry buildings proximity, amassing funds to construct and later supply the airplane factory crowning a vast supply chain and not wasting a single second of the 10:00 timer.

Welcome to District Deviation:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778070557

A 6-engine locomotive fleet at our disposal (we're not allowed to crash any :), prebuilt railway line with a hyperloop shortcut that may hint at additional routing possibilities, multibranched yet controllable industries set, classic color scheme and room for approximately 2 (two) track tile mistakes :)

Congratulations @Blathers, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - April 18th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792955572

A slower puzzle with historical premise-we have 30:00 to sit back and watch our lumber and caoutchouc operation succeed. No tunnels and a lot of scenic train routing.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795830612

Bridge your way to the Yellow Potion brewery by building on suspiciously evenly spaced, almost man-made stone pillars. Or go for a longer, intricate route if you have time. 12:00, DNDATT, multilevel two part engineering marvel of a railway junction to construct and test :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2793803880

Watch the last water drain from the lake floor and start building. Local authorities set up this terraforming job to clear more place for future tourist attractions as well as a new energy source... DNSAT, build at least 4 tunnels, 12:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795604917

Stitch the valley together with a network of many tunnels and at least 7 bridges, watch out for incoming planes and notice several clues left around by our...benefactors :) 13:00 minutes, hyperloop connections, autotrains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794824277

Easter is coming! Help the Egg Colouring Site to complete all the pending orders in time. Supply the dyes, mix a fresh batch of glue and make sure there is no chocolate egg shortage for the foreseeable future :) DNRT, very limited demolition job budget, 7:30.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795384738

A spooky hunt for twisty paths to resource sites amid red mountains, forgotten dragon lairs and dark misty forests as well as a search for a meaning of letters B and G used in local Passenger Flow schedule a lot. 23:00, 15000 TV2$ demolition jobs budget, infuriatingly fun, thoroughly LPT'ed and enjoyed :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795748560

Complete the city's transition into oil industry-both production and refining-and dominate transportation market of Sand Quarry's sandy valleys. Battle both DNSAT and DNDATT, make it less than 12:00 and keep an eye on the power plant :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2794356909

Pastel Colours, explosions, hyperloops, fast locomotives, terraforming events, furniture in high demand and your train driving skills are the last bastion between local businesses and financial ruin. 17 minutes, no train crashing, both aesthetic and train puzzle solving pleasure.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2795395156

Taking in local scenery eats through that 24:30 time limit, fast. Intricate track layout backed by multistorey valley design, quite some industries to erect, supply, mantain, locomotive fleet and bank account to micromanage and at least 3 bridges to build. Coming back up from the abyss is as difficult as not trying to shave off a minute or two after a MadeInAbyss restart.

Weekly Winner - April 11th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790722670

A dam, a river, a lake, an area to be transformed with new construction sites and railway networks. DNSAT and DNDATT are there to help us out, and so is the 14:20 timer. A little tinkering, a bit of terraforming-when mixed, these components get us another enjoyable level. LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792386638

Approximately 8 minutes of TV2 time later you will have enjoyed a chill ride through the DNSAT and limited demolition jobs funds objectives, a great colourful layout with room for optimization, fine-tuned production times and improved time limits (8:00 for 5 stars), guaranteed :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2792278872

A lot to do and no terraforming. DNDATT, 16:00 timer, collection of Customs/Embargo/Toll/One Way stations and a defensive moat with one drawbridge completing a layout that forces a very particular set of route instructions on your locomotive crews. Rumours of a contraband operation active in the area are travelling faster than our finest diesel engine too...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790663146

Performance-enhancing substances, fastest locomotives this side of your screen and a DNDATT objective-can your 15:00 journey to astronomical income get any better? :) It just did with pink landscapes, hyperloop connections, Passenger Flow mechanics-now featured in BFTW* menu.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790206255

A continuation of https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670281648

The quest for world domination continues! With Glass and Steel making technologies we are on our way to establish a second colony. We have-although a bit early according to the technology tree-commandeered two steam locomotives, and DNSAT + no demolition jobs + 9:00 timer are no obstacles on the path to a new Golden Age :) No terraforming and a very familiar colour scheme.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791688527

UFOs found in the mountains! And unlike a certain alien visitor they know their way home! The government set up a secure perimeter, checkpoints and a research center to gain complete control over alien artifacts, personnel and knowledge. We are contracted to supply the rocket factory and maintain secrecy. A DNRT, 16:00, ELPT'ed, carefully crafted adventure of routing your trains over canyon vistas through complex bridge and tunnel network.

Weekly Winner - April 4th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2788919257

A story about blowing up lakes, getting an archaeologist degree in under 10 seconds and driving electric trains underwater-with terraforming events and DNSAT objective to keep us on the edge of our seat. 15:00, LPT'ed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785861639

9:15 timer + 100 Passenger Flow trains with 5 seconds intervals + limited bridges + potion crafting + every colour available in the Editor = one of the harder levels fit both for warming up and an LPT challenge.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787391497

Bankroll construction of a prehistoric cave-for science and possible monetary gains! Nearby pumpkin factory is conveniently in need of some fresh logistic solutions, and we are to source necessary pigments locally as well. 8:20, DNSAT, terraforming.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2788404503

At last-we have access to the Gaulish potion of strength recipe. Same 8:20 time limit, treacherous terrains to build on, establish connection between Gauls and Romans and hopefully help the parties come to a truce. Make sure not to drench anybody in that cauldron :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787691460

Growing Lunar base is now used as a spaceport for Mars colonization missions-and it needs building supplies, fuel, exploration vehicles and trained personnel. We start with fastest space trains available and have a set of hyperloop shortcuts at the ready.

If you are up for the challenge, level creator suggests working up to it by completing the other levels in the Luna series first:

Luna 2727 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2441566188 or Luna 2727 one train start https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2441694382
Luna 2727 fast shuttles https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2445565173
Luna 2737 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2477076958
Luna 2747 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2504426531

Feel free to consult the timetable provided in the description section for additional hints on how local railway system works. 255 tiles track limit, 35:00 time limit, no terraforming-not much else can be said without spoiling the actual solution. A true challenge.
Best of Lunar luck to you!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786064573

Inspired by an older Workshop entry https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1448612068
One side of the valley has exactly what the other half needs, now with terraforming events at 15 and 25 (and we don't mean units of time :) 15:00, no wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2787497512

Building upwards is the future-fasten your seat belts and test drive new multistorey asphalt-and-railway track highway lanes. A ban on almost any demolishing job, 16:00 timer, nerves of steel and no margin for error are mentioned in the instruction papers for your locomotive crews. Build away and bring another successful operation for TV2 Logistics' portfolio :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786572417

Build an efficient, fast rail network to ensure free movement of peoples and goods and capable of supporting 44 neighbouring countries at once. DNRT, 22 minutes timer, Passenger Flow and prebuilt railway track bits that steer your construction priorities a bit yet still leave room for variation.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2791597613

A desert run for an appetizer by @Anton Winter-a valiant effort at wrestling the DNUP and DNSAT objectives and acknowledging all the incoming suggestions-not to mention the Desert is their Workshop debut! Just don't think too much about that bridge. 16:00.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2782272145

Looks a little chaotic, plays a little too fun. Build And Rebuild is thoroughly LPT'ed by the community and results are in: with that quest density and layout complexity @Vardion 's latest train valley is a challenge every player wants to best-with a bit of practice. 20:00 and no train crashes allowed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2783384620

Surprise terraforming events will ambush us on our quest to gather necessary studying supplies, regain control of local terrain peculiarities, not use more than 175 track tiles and leave 10 minutes unused on that 12:00 timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2785021965

DNSAT and DNDATT is a rarer mix, yet Brain Drain 1 effortlessly combines the objectives to keep our playthrough intensely varied, easily captivating, fun-as expected. 13:20, several ways to go about earning TV2$, vanilla furnished train valley.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2782580653

Multiuniverse lore-based train valleys is exactly what's happening in An Urgent Polder Matter-which is simultaneously a remaster of an earlier Workshop entry by @BenGotham

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595194866

and a Universe-19 instance of the same railway puzzle where everything is about fast production and high-speed deliveries. Terraforming events-fueled DNSAT + DNDATT (not that rare anymore is it :) 16:00 ride with a destination somewhere in the top 0.7% of the world's ratings.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2782167681

Both 18:20 and DNSAT, ver. 2 is less limited with Workers production rates while ver. 1 present more challenge and takes almost every second of that 5 stars time limit. Terraforming hidden with trademark terrain design and colouring, try both out today and explore solution choices and train routing puzzles, make new advances in organic computing systems production :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2781974330

10 minutes, no wrong deliveries, 6 coal hoppers is enough, and quite a number of suitable sites for bridge construction :) Many ways to complete, many possibilities to pursue, LPT'ed with many solution videos and a great deal of fun.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2779137698

Short enough to restart, complex enough to need restarting. DNDATT, 8 minutes and a slower start leave enough computational power for finding efficient routes, then building around scenic ones and still delivering on time. Don't forget that bridge :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780613125

Planning around that captured station and for making at least 5 wrong deliveries is refreshing, keeping the cities running by gathering materials and mining ores never gets old. Stay safe, keep the gold safe, keep some seconds unused on that 13:30 timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2782018508

Engine limit, DNRT, 16 minutes-a picturesque train valley welcomes our construction and locomotive crews with stagnating industries, untamed canyons and many delivery quests. Also with some Toll stations :) Keep the electricity connection in mind while planning your railway network and enjoy the ride.

Extra Let's Play Together - Forest Airport

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another Let's Play Together competition in the middle of the week. This is an experiment. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation, but if everyone likes this extra competition format we will make it permanent.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level, complete it with 5 stars and have fun!

Weekly Winner - March 14th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2775105435

A passage hidden below waters of unorthodox colour and shape, powerful locomotives waiting in the depots to start the day, snowmen are on a strike and there's 15 more minutes on a timer. A peculiar terraforming ride around another clever design by @thomas will take more that one cup of coffee to complete. We are to crash 4 trains too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778419552

Today's topic is renewable natural gas production by biomethanation as well as building and maintenance of corresponding infrastructure, transportation systems in particular. Plentiful bridge construction locations, several supply chains interlinked, DNRT and trademark @petronille_marie's colouring and floristic abundance. 13:20 on the timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2775381636

With a tiny demolition job budget, Passenger Flow deliveries and several industries to fund, compact layout, still generous timers and a small fleet of faster engines at the ready Potions Pursuit easily reminds of simpler days and vanilla Workshop levels. Enjoyable, complicated in just the right way, fun.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776300108

A DNSAT valley with Customs Stations and free 1st level resources, Choices calls for quite more scheduling and planning. 12 different delivery quests, limited building space, suspicious sheep-shaped rock formations, 11 minutes timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2775160278

Secret alchemical gold production operation is in danger of becoming less secret and there is no room for wrong deliveries. Look out for stealthy terraforming events, Passenger Flow trains, spiders, ramping up gameplay pacing and 13:40 timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2778070557

No demolishing at all with complex layout to build on-salvaging existing railway track tiles, working around obstacles and terrain can be rewarding on its own. Funding a state of the art (well, judging by the pricing :) plane factory and constructing a supply network to maintain production output levels with no train crashes and under 10 minutes guarantees complexity and gratification worthy of a Level Of The Week.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @Blathers! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - March 7th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773682311
A DNSAT valley with numerous deliveries to run through four Customs stations, 11:40 minutes timer, several waterways and complex junctions connecting separate supply chains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2768457032

Our brave locomotive teams will conquer this DNRT valley too, even though there's no rabbit in sight. At least 4 bridges to build, local bat-fueled canned foods industry to supply, hidden shortcuts to investigate-all the while competing with that 11 minutes timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2768905622

Sand and Yellow Potions deliveries open up most of the valley. 130 track tiles limit and a 95 or more trains delivered requirement make sure every second of the 9:20 timer is accounted for. Terraforming events and spider deliveries, potioncraft and electric locomotives.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2768825543

A no-tunnels valley with compact layout, upgradeable engines and plenty of time, stranded UFO in the mountains and bustling Glue industry. Build, deliver, complete, compete.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2773203808

Diesel engines ahoy! Growing Pirate Beach valley demands gold, jewels, grog and other necessities to grow. Happy terraforming accidents to follow, no locomotives upgrades, at least 99 deliveries to make, 12:30 timer. Have a nice ride!

Level of the Month - February 2022



Two Flags Over Lemmings Falls is a riveting story behind interesting design and objectives. A quiet mountainous location is turned into an amusement park with potentially unsafe rides by a shady corporation. Whole town under a contract with pages of fine print, skyrocketing ghost sightings, free cotton candy with every admission and a carefully crafted layout, highly detailed and tricky to build on, DNRT, 9:30 timer, engine limit, Embargo and One Way stations, secret underwater tunnels.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2752285294

Fun level, excellent setting (and a well-written description), seamless gameplay flow. Congratulations @mishalunchbox, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Weekly Winner - February 28th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2760693041

Poitevin Marsh is a large area of marshland in one of the more western train valleys. Divided by many waterways, this farming area is in dire need of its transportation system upgraded. Limited number of bridges to build, new liqueur recipe to learn. 16 minutes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2763470793

At least 95 somewhat chaotic train deliveries later and several complex junctions built, demolished and rebuilt again to maintain the cargo flow, Bad Weather Is Coming can be as fast as you are-if you can squeeze your schedule in 16 minutes flat. Railway routing puzzle with junction trickery. No wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2762688649

This time around our main concern is the health of Hydrotherapy 11 locals. Thermal baths treatment, massage oils and some good old red health potions will certainly come in handy-just make sure you construct at least 2 tunnels, bring sick passengers in and healthy (albeit a bit blue-ish) passengers back and make it 10 minutes and some seconds.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2767444874

An 85th level by @thomas - congratulations! Here's to more train puzzles-complex, interesting, fun!
A compact design that resembles a certain space smuggler's light freighter, cruising trains making chocolate deliveries, a terraforming puzzle around the corner, whole 10 minutes of train watching and not a single train crash or wrong delivery in sight.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2760083670

Major football rivalry and a suburban passenger rail, how does one combine the two? Complete the DNUP Independiente VS Racing in 12 minutes and you will find out.

Scientific train smashing at relativistic speeds-for science!

That is the only way to find out what is inside a train-according to local scientific community. At least 10 of TV2's fastest locomotives, 27 km long circular track and a lot of speed is what we need. Of course there's also an enormous sum to acquire-with under the table luxury watches deliveries; the Locomotive Head-On Collider system also requires a lot of power to function-fortunately we can tap into the neighbouring state's grid. Don't forget about construction materials, qualified personnel, high performance computational devices.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2725354930

Oh, and we are not allowed to damage tracks. Due to Mr. Heisenburg's Uncertainty Priciple we know observing train crashes out in the open affects the result of the train crash. So you'll need to build an impact chamber out of sight...

So we've put a railway track system with autotrains inside your railway track system-now you can drive trains while you're driving trains :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2690074191

Autotrains carrying various cargo can be accepted if your railway track system has the necessary junctions or safely ignored (although that way you will waste some resources)-with 120 trains to be delivered one can expect a lot of locomotive management. Expertly designed and decorated mountainous industrial valley-not a thing about Transrapid is unintentional or random, be it cleverly placed Customs Station or cunningly hidden tunnel building sites, a supply chain that is both dependent on and at the same time divided by the autotrains tracks and ultimately trainloads of gratification to be had upon level's successful completion.

4 meters of water block our access to the island that's in desperate need of some chairs.

DNRT and destruction of anything worth at least 15 000 TV2$. A beautiful train valley with at least 19 Little Green Plateaus we are to build around-no bridges or tunnels this time. Expensive trees everywhere impeding construction efforts too. A fleet of majestic 2-trains to upgrade and turn a slow journey to the Uranium Mine into a high speed chase against the timer. 11 minutes to get 5 stars.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2752624535

As the Sun enters its red-giant branch, part of mankind that decided to stay is now forced to live in underground settlements connected with amphibious train networks. A compact DNSAT mission for nuclear energy and computers with no second chances yet with a certain requirements for Luck or Willpower stats :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2746381358

Can a train do a Super G? No. But A Train Valley 2 locomotive can, with a bit of alchemy :) Beautiful setting, complex terrain, maxed out trains, demolitions team still on vacation, 6 minutes 30 seconds on the timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2746169104

No trees were harmed in the making of this train valley. Wood and wood related products are in high demand and we have 15 minutes to deliver, with our train depot temporarily out of commission as well as unavailable locomotive reinforcements. Rigorously LPTed :)

In an alternate dimension that still has railroads, cars are made with pumpkin pure OR spider juice-don't even think about mixing the two! :) We have a train valley with two parallel production lines-identical end product yet different ingredients, lots of alternatives, scope for improvement and upgrades, subtle terrafroming included. DNRT.

Today we are carrying bleeding edge farming tech and jewelry-in a peaceful untouched by terraforming easy going train valley of All Connected.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2752854393

DNDATT adventure with equal chances to get 5 stars or be witnessed, all shiny and chrome :) Settlements of Candytown and Tooltown have requested our assistance, and we answer the call by building at least 5 bridges and working under the DNDATT orders. Complex terrain patterns, several production chains to attend to and unlimited amount of attempts to complete Desert Bridges :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2752817647

DNRT and no engine upgrades puzzle with a divided in two layout and some out of the box building solutions, a complex supply chain and only 17 minutes on the timer. Fast, colourful race against time and bridge building expenses.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2752677815

Multitasking done differently-The Half-Pipe layout does not prevent you from connecting production buildings outright, it rather enforces a particular layout for your connections. With several trains going back and forth in a hypnotizing pattern a trivial job of completing several delivery quests turns out to be a worthy adversary to one's attention and management skills :) DNRT.

New cargo types coming to Train Valley 2

Hello!

The Russian Pass DLC will include several new resource and cargo types to haul around train valleys inspired by the Motherland. Today we are ready to introduce the Bus Factory and the Kimberlite Mine:



Quick facts:


  • Bus Factory requires Workers, Steel Plates, Processed Rubber, Glass and Fuel to produce shiny yellow public transport road vehicles :)
  • Kimberlite Mine requires Workers to produce Kimberlite Ore. I wonder what happens to that afterwards...
  • Settings like store size, production times and initial resource amount can be adjusted with the Editor for both buildings.
  • Both Bus Factory and Kimberlite Mine can be used in several Scenarios and trigger Activables across the level. Stay tuned for an update to our Activables guide!


We are looking forward to meeting you during this Friday's LPT challenge! Good luck!

Weekly Winner - February 7th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2742073481
A remaster of higher difficulty with generous timers and ruthless DNSAT and DNDATT. By simply switching secondary objectives Space Ghandi creates a new challenge. Try it out today! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2738282794
An upgrade of a level by @Radio long deleted from the Workshop, Valley In The North Reloaded is a close-packed puzzle with a simple when you look at it and not too friendly when you build on it terrain, limited room for error and DNDATT. A tight operation, both in terms of building space and time available.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2744686391
So many ways to solve, so many tries to do it :) DNRT, no tunnels or bridges, 3 and a half parts valley with every food related industry Train Valley 2 currently has, even spider candy. LPT certified

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2742989291
Tonight @LittleBear will show us the best way to mend a heart-with chocolate, terraforming events, steering clear of train crashes and wrong deliveries, hyperloops, trying to ignore Toll Stations, keeping up with the timers, delivering presents and stuff :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2740118108
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2740118981
Bidirectional tunnels or not, do not let the EASY MODE words fool you :) Powered by 16 One Way Stations potion shuffling operation will keep us on our toes regardless. Intricate design, detailed scenery, DNRT and DNDATT. The Magical Mystery Tour is waiting to take you away, waiting to take you away...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2742034071
A beautifully crafted journey into the second half of 20th century Berlin. Checkpoints with Embargo Stations, vast prebuilt railway network, bribing Customs Stations officers, autotrains and highest quality chocolate, numerous landmarks and references, 25:00 timer, DNDATT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2740145406
A refreshingly less than obvious track layout to restore, sneaky terraforming events altering already treacherous valley, DNRT, three quest delivery locations with three separate supply chains interlinked with a single Power Station, fastest locomotives and several hidden shortcuts-everything a train puzzle enthusiast needs to lose track of time tightly packed in this week's top Workshop level :)

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @rrc22! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Even more production buildings coming to Train Valley 2

Thank you for your continuing support and your feedback and creativity. As a token of our gratitude, we have some more top secret data about Train Valley 2 newest content expansion:

Please welcome the Disassembling Factory:



Quick facts:


  • A single incoming resource or product is disassembled into corresponding components.
  • Initial resource as well as resulting components capacity is limited and can be defined in the Editor.
  • A Disassembling Factory can produce up to 5 different components.
  • Disassembling process may require Workers and/or Electricity-this is optional and can be enabled through the Editor's Object Settings screen.
  • No Electricity refunds.
  • Players can follow any recipe or blueprint or let their fantasy free and dismantle candy into Steel and Fish (see the screenshot above :)
  • A Disassembling Factory will not process more of the incoming product before components from the previous batch are shipped elsewhere.
  • Players can choose components for transportation by switching between the Disassembling Factory output options with Left Mouse Button. In the screenshot above we can click Fish to switch the output, and later can click Steel Plates to go back to delivering those.
  • A Disassembling Factory can be used in several Scenarios and trigger Activables across the level. Stay tuned for an update to our Activables guide!


We are looking forward to meeting you during this Friday's LPT challenge! Good luck!

Tonight we are building magic computers-all the computational power of a modern PC combined with magic of divided by a (probably) magical river pink train valley wizards. 8:20, engine upgrades, DNSAT, LPT-certified.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2736655590 by @brunocharles

Industrial factories and secret containers, a nuclear plant hidden by great walls. First deliveries enable offshore uranium mine. DNSAT, 20 minutes, a Toll station and several production buildings' construction projects waiting to be funded.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2734359826 by @thomas

DNRT, DNDATT, 12:00, Passenger Flow valley with a secret tunnel to bring everything together and complete both your railway network and deliveries schedule.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2732297648 by @I love trains

An airport conveniently built on top of a 4 island archipelago, 140 Passenger Flow deliveries, very expensive bridges, DNSAT, a lot of room but not enough space for track layout improvement, 30 minutes timer. Great multitasking exercise with an unusual layout.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2730254237 by @Miaxlo

Improved version of

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680616444


The bridge is now finished at 20:00 mark and the 5 star timer is adjusted to 22:30, minor stations positioning fixes. A great DNDATT terraforming-powered puzzle that inspired some of our newest Editor objects coming in the next DLC :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2736762988 by @petronille_marie

A band of hobbits captured local amusement park, blocked the entrance and are enjoying water supplies left inside. It is up to us to open the park back and restore it to working condition.

Weekly Winner - January 24th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2728087344

A hyperloop-powered color mixing operation somewhere in the snowy valleys ruled by penguins and snowmen. The idea is to manufacture all primary colours and mix those into black colour. 21:40 timer, three island layout and tight budget.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2722363748

It is 1863, we are taking part in the First Transcontinental Railroad construction, an effort to unite the country again. Build your tracks all the way to Promontory Point and connect the oceans. 14:00 timer, DNDATT, several historical landmarks to look for shortcuts around and historically accurate lack of locomotive upgrades.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2728958905

Raven Railway is a compact mountainous valley with a two-part layout divided by a waterway with an island in the middle, separate altitude levels, a Customs station, a Toll station, DNSAT, DNDATT and a number of expensive production buildings to build.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2727999919

A different take on leaving some clues for the players, Golden Gate Parks has almost no terrain-related restrictions and a whole bunch of unfinished and seemingly leading somewhere railway tracks. A Customs station and two autotrains will make next 12 minutes of your Train Valley 2 session extra puzzling :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2725488862

DNDATT 60 trains Passenger Flow train valley with time terraforming events. Chill gameplay with room for different tactics and a touch of randomness.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2725076637

Two parts valley with different altitude and the only way to transfer trains between the two is a moving terraforming powered platform in the middle triggered by a delivery to the PC factory right next to it. 24 elevator platform uses later make sure you have got all 5 stars :) Mind the gap!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2727867854

14:00 minutes DNRT journey through mud moats of Muddy Circles. WE're here to supply a particularly well-defended Canned Food Factory using produce from local farmers. Locomotive cleaning costs are going up with every delivery, some preplanning is in order it seems :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2729173760

Tonight we are riding a pyramid. With trains. In 13 minutes. With stealth option out of the picture disguising whole operation as series of Passenger Flow deliveries is our plan B. We can even throw in building a new Power Plant to further confuse local authorities :) Great landscaping, canned spiders, no locomotive upgrades.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2725674933

Based on a certain series of dystopian novels, Tie Down In Small Pots is an island with delivery quests that has at least 8 different access points and only so much space for moving the trains around. A hyperloop shortcut, DNSAT and 28 minutes timer. Have fun, and don't fall in the water! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2726819002

We are trapped inside this octavarium. Good thing we have some production buildings inside and our trusty locomotives ready. Each Books related delivery might open a way out. Hyperloops, 15:00 with a side dish of blowing up obstacles :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2725354930

Scientific train smashing at relativistic speeds-for science! We are building a new Locomotive Head-on Collider, but first we'll need to raise a lot of money and make sure we have a lot of Electricity. We'll also need building supplies, steel, trained engineers, wiring, electronics, computers-the list goes on, but so does the timer. And speaking of time, there is also a swiss hand watch delivery to complete. Don't ask where the gold is from :) At least 10 trains to Supercollide, DNDATT and 17:00.

New Station types coming to Train Valley 2

Another week-another preview!

We give you the Pass Limiter station:


Complemented with armor on alert as well as some new cargo types :)

Quick facts:


  • A Pass Limiter station lets trains through in both directions-without a toll.
  • Every passing train uses 1 Pass Limiter charge.
  • After all charges have been used up, a Pass Limiter becomes unavailable for a certain amount of time-until it recharges.
  • A Pass Limiter can be recharged unlimited number of times.
  • While recharging a Pass Limiter will not let trains through and will reverse any incoming train's direction automatically-no explosions or money loss.
  • Both recharging times and number of charges can be defined in the Editor.


Do you have any level ideas for this new station already? Tell us in the comment section, and we are looking forward to meeting you during this Friday's LPT challenge! Good luck!

Level of the Year - 2021



Nearly 1800 Workshop levels and approximately 240 Let's Play Together challenges later the time has come to choose a level worthy of the Level Of The Year 2021 title. It goes without saying that picking a single Workshop submission out of many, many wonderful train valleys is...problematic.

During the course of 2021 with your valuable feedback in mind we have added new objects and mechanics to the game, some still available only in Workshop levels. We are bringing these never-before-used by our level design team mechanics back with another official campaign as well as improving on these ideas and introducing brand new objects, buildings, stations-some are making their way into Train Valley 2 very soon. All that would not be possible without you and your unfailing interest in train puzzles. Flazm Interactive would like to express gratitude to every Train Valley player. You all are brilliant.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2461727621

A process or method through the application of which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so.

A fine example of our player's ingenuity that indeed resulted in a new building soon to be introduced to the Editor, Reverse Engineering by @ishKiia is a story of betrayal, hostile takeover, power play among car factory owners, some questionable business practices, heavy duty train deliveries and disassembling ready to ship cars into basic components, smuggling resulting components through many Customs stations filled with officials that are not prepared for a heist of that scale and reassembling cars using smuggled resources after. A complex multistage procedure on its own, while done in reverse requires exponentially more processing power :)

A quaint grasslands valley landscape divided by a waterway suggests several stages to this operation, limited space dictates any crazy track layout you can come up with is the way to go. 15 minutes, Do Not Reverse Trains and Do Not Allow Any Train To Arrive At The Wrong Station. You do have fastest engines from the start.

@ishKiia, outstanding work! A 50 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement :)

Weekly Winner - January 17th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2716030614

A yellow episode of petronille_marie's series of coloured levels-terraforming, fields on naturally occurring wild yellow biplanes and watching your engines delivering components to the yellow potion Lab through yellow flowers populated hills. DNRT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2717128899
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2720380669

Familiar layout yet different gameplay? @petronille_marie delivers-two different DNSAT levels with same lay of the land: attractive lake setting with islands rising from below the lake and revealing additional production buildings to connect to your supply chain.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2721437868

A terraforming puzzle spiced up with DNSAT, Lost Mines has multi-level terrain that turns every delivery into a separate journey of planning railway network extensions with extra care. With demolition team unavailable and 14 minutes on the 5-star timer, this valley is a formidable challenge.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2715965783

Indeed, we have just 60 seconds on the timer, but combined with Earn 28 000 TV2$ and Blow Up 1 Train objectives Very Short presents a puzzle with curiously higher replayability potential :) Dubbed "evil" by the Workshop commenters, this submission is a different experience.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2720425883

Potion-making, Customs stations, complex railway junctions, unexpected shortcuts, autofactories and unconfirmed reports of some LPT-tier tricks involved. A fine recipe that gives a taste of true train puzzle challenge and strength to enhance on it with your own Editor creations :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2720368222

A multi network level with quite some multitasking and almost no changing zoom level and moving your camera around. Compact design that houses two separate supply chains is to be united into one with a trivial 350 000 TV2$ construction project. 40 minutes on the clock and at least 200 track tiles to build.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2717265752

We are breaking into a snowman bank/stronghold. We are to rescue snowman crews from under the water, but the Earn At Least 2 700 000 TV2$ objective and seven separate entry points we can blow up to gain access to the shiny treasure indicate we can...pursue additional venues while we are at it :) We have highly trained spiders, dynamite factory ready to go, no idea where the next terrafoming event will take place and 20 minutes on the timer. Enjoy your ride!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2713728592

A subway train valley with NYCesque layout and Passenger Flow gameplay. Approximately 4000 manually placed skyscrapers, 120 trains to deliver and zero train crashes allowed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2712427275

A terraforming-powered delivery run with generous timers and somewhat increased restart probability. Prioritize oil extraction, follow that by refinement efforts and Do Not Destroy Any Track Tiles :) LPT'ed and recommended.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2726097497

A rescue operation after an accident in a coal mine requires care, planning, expert and swift execution. Bring miners out, make sure local hospital and rescue operation command has required supplies, and extract remaining coal while you are at it. Look out for secret passages inside the mine, DNRT and terraforming events; manage evolving delivery chains and learn new potion recipes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2704992983

Driving heavy trains on top of some really good-looking pastry? Count me in.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2704075314

A multistage level with diverse and intricately detailed layout that progresses along with the number of zeroes in your bank account statement and locomotive fleet upgrades. Manage your expenses, discover hidden terraforming shortcuts and wrestle control of local industry's output to deliver on time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2703538324

A calm valley shaking with explosions, fresh air pierced by construction machinery sounds and train air horns, islands sinking and production outputs constantly increasing - Kasam is a (preferably :) 13 minute compact train puzzle that gradually adds complexity by unlocking new areas and industries. Famously top-tier landscaping, terraforming, 100 track tile limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2704212884

An older level by @Vulcon

Weekly Winner - December 27th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2693444315

A winter landscape dominated by a mountain with a presents factory on the very top, Christmas Tree Challenge has a two-part lay of the land with several ways to make a connection and at least one tunnel built requirement. Should you start a tunnel right away or will Christmas spirit come a bit later to the other side of the valley?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2689087212
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2694211856
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2695457856

Three levels that share creator, design - a bit on the minimalist side but always with some flower fields, unrestricted by terrain building space, gameplay features - occasional DNSAT or DNUP and slightly higher chances of restart, and a wonderful way of weaving all that in a magical experience, more so after getting 5 stars.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2692948184

Make sure the Antarctica Penquins delegation makes it to the North Pole Station on time to give Santa our collective best wishes. Final episode of this season's longest Christmas themed series, The Penquin March presents a trademark experience with numerous routes to be laid down over treacherous terrains spanning multiple climate zones, funding construction of a whole industrial sector worth of production buildings and an Earn At Least X TV2$ objective. The last part of the journey is the hardest - that is a hint from @Strained Rigging :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2695645435

Robust replayability potential, simple yet not that easy, with economic planning required, neat compact layout JLs Small Map marks spiiv's debut as a TV2 level designer. We will watch your career with great interest :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2692931108

Tiny Russian shipyard. Fast paced action with no hiding. Now Christmas-themed and adapted for Train Valley 2, Call Of Trains has a 25 track tiles building limit and 11 minutes 20 seconds to extract the payload. Take nothing less than 5 stars, comrades!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2687809106

A trip down Santa's memory lane takes us back to Anchorage, Christmas Eve '64. Earthquakes, blizzards, extreme presents shortages and no time to waste. A very fun map with well-constructed and adorned landscape, terraforming events that open new routes and destroy established ones and captivating backstory.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2690074191

A track system that has another independent track system going straight through it with autotrains that can be accepted or one could just let them pass through. Many incoming resources to manage, expertly designed industrial valley to navigate and trainloads of gratification to be had upon level's successful completion.

Congratulations on your well-deserved award @striker700! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Dear train puzzle enthusiast! Congratulations-as a member of Train Valley 2 family, you helped achieve significant milestones in 2021:


  • 1600 Discord members,
  • 400 levels (and counting!) submitted to Train Valley 2 Workshop,
  • 104 Lets Play Together challenges and 792 collectible cards sent out all over the globe.

21 may be over, yet more trains, unique puzzles, faster deliveries, complex supply chains, and a completely new journey into the history of Motherland is just around the corner. Here is a first look at one of the upcoming levels:


Any ideas on what that dangerous looking fire breathing not very amused by railway tracks creature is? :)

Weekly Winner - December 20th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680993839

There is keeping track of all your locomotives (see what I did here?), then there's microcontrolling everything possible simultaneously, and then there is Some Trickery LPT veteranship, known tricks usage are mandatory, getting 5 stars form the get-go isn't :) DNSAT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2681187026

Santa Visits Safariland to take their mind of all things festive and had a great time. Many biomes, more animals, story-rich gameplay, funds to accrue and bridges to construct, time objectives to meet and truly trademark terrain configuration to explore.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2681990208

DNUP vanilla-styled train valley, offerings to the spirits to increase crop yields, possible terraforming complications as well as almost no time to dawdle :) Be careful and do not anger the spirit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2686014510
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2686851625

Don't let a bit simpler layout style make you relax, for both valleys are a challenge. Multibranch supply chains and intertwined junctions make petronille_marie's latest Workshop submissions shine, especially in the case of Xmas Again with additional DNSAT and DNDATT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2686019661
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2687224719

Be it the archipelago valley or a certain dualist medieval religious organization themed level, the gameplay will be both relatively relaxing and keep us interested, give us some slack and make us look at the secondary objectives panel time after time, and certainly will be enjoyable in both getting all the stars and restarting :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2687403373

24 Customs Stations, Christmas at our collective doorstep, extra busy and extra inefficient officers taking all the time there is to process the goods and documentation, unfazed even by terraforming events happening left and right. A true nightmare for any locomotive operator with a trainload of delivery orders running late, CUSTOMSized Christmas Calendar is here to overthrow Best From The Workshop tab previous occupants :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2681623321

Try not to crash and get the deliveries right
And you'll earn five stars on this dark Christmas night.


Continuing the Christmas Nightmare levels trend, BenGotham brings us another loaded with buildings, quests and semi-independent supply chains. Prepare a spare mouse/controller and some snacks, and make sure to check the comments for some rhymes as well as gameplay hints.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2685962873

It is from Safariland straight to a country of Round for Santa this year, where locals save up all year long to spend every dime during Christmas and get presents, Christmas trees, decorate their homes and then travel around their country by rail to see all the decorations and enjoy the holidays. Use the hyperloops, control your funds flow and celebrate together with Round.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2686023737

Aesthetically attractive winter train valley that has it all: DNSAT, penguins, time limit that requires investing into and controlling every industry almost simultaneously, a candy factory that requires inexplicable amount of natural rubber, intricate junctions waiting to be designed, built and redesigned again, a range of shortcuts and Christmas spirit built in a great idea and a very enjoyable playthrough or five :)

We congratulate @LittleBear as Train Valley 2 Level Design Contest Christmas Festive Season 2021 newest champion! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2677651715
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2677106990

Elevated Christmas themed levels relevance provides us with seemingly unending supply of snowy train valleys with booming Christmas tree and chocolate presents industries with sporadic penguin incursions and every festive paraphernalia sprinkled on top. No extra difficulty modifiers like DNSAT, just a lot of urgent deliveries across complex landscapes to help out Santa where a track laying puzzle transforms - with time - into a compact railroad tycoon game, where a player has to oversee every move yet can have a nice cup of tea while doing so.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680846651

A map to relax. No tricks, easy goals, and a little terraforming triggered with timber deliveries. 25 minutes, a sneaky One Way Station, almost familiar island in the middle of a body of water layout and quite some bridge construction projects ahead.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2675849473

A DNSAT mission to save the world from an unknown virus starts with a couple of engines and several well-hidden terraforming events. A busy suburban area packed with industries, a quarantined city, unavailable demolishing team and 19 minutes to expand, build, complete, succeed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2680616444

A complete change of direction from a chill evenly paced gameplay commenced by the previous DNSAT nominee, The Warehouse Strategy has an uncommon build and accrue now - deliver and distribute later dynamic set up by several terraforming events that open up an access point to the city way later in the game - at 7.00, 14.00 and 21.00 minutes. Only the last event enables the bridge and allows to reach the delivery sites. Demolition team still on vacation, 23 minutes time limit, busy megapolis streets to navigate and an ATT objective - replayability is assured with both original design and difficulty levels :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2675428851

The hardships of festive preparations can prove a bit too overwhelming at times so spend the next 13 minutes in Train Valley's most recent award winning Christmas puzzle by Strained_Rigging :) Heartwarmingly completable star objectives, prebuilt track system, a fleet of fastest engines, a giant snowman and a mountain of presents fire away your delivery orders and celebrate the upcoming festivities together with TV2 community.

We congratulate @Strained Rigging as Train Valley 2 Level Design Contest newest champion! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - December 6th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2669487810

Giant snowflakes are an immediate threat to this snow valley, and hyperloop connections are our only chance. 35 Passenger Flow trains aside this is a battle against time, funds shortage and impulse to run a locomotive through a snowman.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2669211043
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2671519052

Highly detailed layout, many places to visit, even more delivery quests to complete and few restraints or secondary objectives that can slow us down - this level duo is perfect for getting your Christmas a bit more train-y and puzzl-y :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2669868481

A simple level in winter-y colours, Blue has track tile limit, a tricky bridge placement problem, compact layout but only 20 minutes of having a blast overcoming all that.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670634512

Fastest locomotives, carte blanche to build all the tunnels and bridges, 27 minutes to explore and at least 40 different quests to complete! Sure, Christmas isn't coming tomorrow, but we might as well begin preparations :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670281648

Expanding a newly established city is a slow and difficult task, especially with the barbarians lurking too close, but thanks to TV2 Logistics we start with steam engines before discovering animal husbandry :) Some planning and earning after we fund several construction projects, continue expanding our research tree and ultimately enter a golden age, with 5 stars and many seconds left on the timer :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2674128401

At last, we get to drive on the same tracks famous crimson red GWR 5900 steam locomotive does when carrying students to a certain school of witchcraft and wizardry. We even get to build some more of these tracks (but not too many) and make some gold while we're at it. Yule ball is nigh and requires chocolate, bats and Christmas trees as well as an array of magical potions. Underwater facilities will arise from the bottom of the Lake, cauldrons will breathe purple clouds again, great feasts with endless tables and ballroom dancing with the Tournament champions will take place and Christmas will come.

@Gelledee is first week of December 2021 champion! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - November 29th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662232571

Steam trains driving around a busy city with advanced full-cycle automotive factories and strangely coloured bodies of water. DNRT. There is no terraforming.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2664321537

Summer, Christmas, snow shortage, New Zealand holiday experience. Supply the beachside towns with everything they need to celebrate - including locally sourced pine trees. DNDATT, watch out for that chocolate autotrain and local fauna.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662086327

Easy, but no that easy, It's All Greek To Me is about time management, careful planning since we cannot destroy anything, and timely execution. 24 Passenger Flow trains, 24 letters scattered across the peach coloured plains and only 6 minutes on the timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2665036297
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2666261731
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2667090534

A triple submission, heavily Christmas themed too. Packed with terraforming, Passenger Flow trains, intricately constructed terrains covered in snow and delivery quests everything that portrays holiday travel (and present acquiring) madness we know and love.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2663721921

New Year is coming up faster than it seems, and here is a terraforming-powered train valley dedicated to holiday-season-is-around-the-corner time flow perception imitating all the preparations and festive tasks we usually do in a hurry, simultaneously, forgetting something only to discover later and fix in the last moment, all in good fun and Christmas spirit :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2662564277
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2663214638

A two-part continuation of the Christmas series, a short rollercoaster hand/eye coordination challenge level with no apparent goals yet achievable 5 stars transforms into one more look into the everyday business of producing and distributing Christmas gifts (and spirit) at the Pole. We know the layout already and new objectives make the experience as spicy as a cup of Glhwein and just as enjoyable.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2667254722

Gift Wrapping is the penultimate gift related activity on the enjoyment scale, right after gift unwrapping :) Start by making books, explore the hyperloop options, admire the Toll Station placement, memorize all the different gift recipes and have this snowy gift wrapping facility running in under 17 minutes.


And we have a winner! @LittleBear takes our Weekly Design Contest' first place! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - November 22nd


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2660401963

Simply great use of the train size progression built into a nice compact valley adorned with terraforming and DNSAT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2658120043

Christmas May Not Come is the first of two festivities themed levels, old TV2 style valley and a tale of Santa's workshop inner workings, from the Lists and magical sleighs to an army of elf workers and vast gigafactories hidden under endless snow.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656787314

Help building a new city transport system by supplying tech, workers and chocolate to the construction sites on the hill. Flow the Passenger trains through the hyperloop network and keep up with DNRT, conveniently placed toll station and terraforming surprises.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656417290
Christmas is coming according to this train valley, and it is going to be snowy. Build around decrepit railway network remains - demolishing crew is on vacation, overcome cunning terrain and explore abandoned mines for additional resources. LPT-tested.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2655630141

A 14 minutes DNRT escape mission from a Lonely plateau cut off from the rest of the valley by a grand canyon. There is one way out a puzzle dangerous, terraforming, prohibiting reversing of trains and very enjoyable to solve.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2659916723

Part 3 of the Spider Valley series is here! Humans ans spiders working together to better the whole valley and potentially turn it into a new Silicone one by producing complex technologies. Familiar layout with different challenges, spiders, 18 minutes and expensive tunnels.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2654976842

In the middle of the desert lay the production lines of Big Oil Lake. Water and fuel shortage, terraforming events, alternating routes and strict construction regulations are there to help us start a space rocket factory. Make sure not to run out of fuel as you need it for energy and the production of fuel itself.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2656766648

We are colonizing space with trusty old diesel locomotives! Hyperlooping around at least 4 different planets (not to scale) we establish farms, research facilities and production lines to supply our homeworld, on time. Occasional space tourist flights and avoiding crushing trains in the dark endless void of cosmos for 26 minutes straight is no small feat, but we wouldn't settle for anything less now would we :)

And we have a winner! @BenGotham takes our Weekly Design Contest' first place! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - November 15th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2652649526

The E stands for electricity and shows you the way to the necessary tunnel. Other than that we're on our own :) Mountainous valley with mining based economy is all about overcoming, building around and adapting. Plenty of time to avoid train crashes, master the topography and learn a brand new jawbreakers recipe that calls for copper and processed steel.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2652240174

A split-in-two with a single bridge in the middle look at the everyday chores of Hutchel Homestead hospitable rural location with ruthless gameplay, funds and engine micromanagement and zero tolerance for anything but tightest delivery schedule or using the pause button. One very competitive LPT challenge later we are glad to have 20 minutes and 30 seconds :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2653302403

Fortified castle owners looking to expand their spooky production empire and sprawling city nearby already placed 9 different orders blue potions are trending again. Single track to connect two level parts, some bridge planning required and just enough space for two superjunctions preservation of castle walls as well as railway tracks is a must, as are time management and watching out for scary skeletons. And ghost spiders.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2654053300

A little bit of terraforming and quite a bit of molten lava turns this peaceful lush valley into a scorched fire pit. Mysterious numbers appeared next to many production buildings and time is running short - livestock, provisions and rocket piloting manuals must be loaded into the rockets before everything is flooded with fire. Use 27 minutes you have wisely and keep calm TV2 Logistics never gives up, especially if there's a profit to be had :)

@Miaxlo is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - November 8th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2643124711

A (maybe) quick and simple one, Alta Vista is a terraforming-flavoured story of perseverance, under 10 minutes financial gains, top-shelf junction planning and locomotive driving delivering goods multitasking. Send the first load of ore to Alta Vista and...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2645238338

...find out that Alta Vista still has allies the city of Cascade decided to use its tremendous industrial capacity and technical talent and send necessary supplies in. No easy task, for Alta Vista's less neighbourly neighbours will try and stop us. So will terrain, various bodies of water, terraforming, a 500 trains delivered objective and Chomps a riveting two part story.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2647380263

Learn the premises, objectives, starting funds amount and locomotive fleet, build junctions, a bridge to connect two sides and avoid expensive demolishing orders, drive through DNSAT and tight timers while calculating deliveries schedule. Get 5 stars and start again :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2648600839

Remember, remember the 5th of November.
Explosions! Controlled explosions that open new areas and upgrade our deliveries schedule. Colourful surroundings, tricky intersections, 15 minutes timer and a delightful locomotive puzzle to celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2647582200

Dismantle everything including a vast supply of old cars of unknown or suspicious origin, repurpose airdropped tools, recycle resulting raw materials and construct brand new cars, all in a 20 minutes' work. A balanced puzzle that can be played many times and completed almost every one :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2645904729
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2646565241

Spiders. If Train Valley 2 taught us anything, it is that spiders are mysterious, highly intelligent, resourceful creatures with unclear motives. Powerful allies, brilliant engineers, prime potion (and chocolate!) ingredient there is nothing spiders cannot do. Arachnid Pass and Spider Diplomacy tell a story of a spider clan that lives in a mountain spider city and performs arcane spider rituals and excavation jobs, for a price very extravagant jewellery in particular. DNDATT, engine limit, terraforming events and shared geography make both entries equally enjoyable. Is this a start of a series? We hope it is.

@eijolend thank you for bringing us these levels! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

This Halloween we will be driving locomotives around on a Jack-O-Lantern with so much presence it has its own mountain ranges, mushroom forests, magic cities and ultraintensive passenger flow. Brew every potion there is, make sure 40 passenger trains make it to their destination intact and keep the demolishing job costs at a minimum. 12 minutes, nothing moves except trains :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2641584988

Mysterious ingredients, haunted castles, questionable potion recipes, advanced monoculture farming techniques, and an individual by the name Jack we are to locate :) 28 minutes timer and 4 engines that are more about cruising and sightseeing, a sprinkle of terraforming events on top of a strangely familiar looking terrain - a (very) spooky level that delivers.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2641797818

The advanced prehistoric civilization is visiting thanks to Train Valley 2 terraforming mechanic. Our task is accumulating enough gifts for the occasion gold and gold related products mainly. A two-parts level with gradual supply chain complexity advancement that requires an expenditure plan and at least 16 minutes 40 seconds of your time :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2638252950

Cataclysms seem to be this week's secondary trend caused by falling out of favor with the deities or global warming and this level we are to prevent the latter and help restore the damages after. Track tiles destruction prohibited with a side dish of 18 minutes, Global Warming valley is terraforming right under your engines; saving the city and restoring the industry is achievable, enjoyable, formidable, fun.

Weekly Winner - October 25th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2632089535

Thinking around numerous obstacles to operate Passenger Flow and cargo trains at one and the same time, probably discovering shortcuts too while reconstructing railroad network very carefully - we are not allowed to bulldoze anything over 50 TV2$, with the almost certain prospect of using less than 30 minutes to crack the Hill Valley puzzle.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2636001556

Scout this bustling megalopolis valley with inconveniently placed Customs Stations and Toll Stations for track building space, erect necessary production buildings, spend 1 900 000 TV2$ however you see fit but make sure every resource requested is where it is needed, on time. Aid convention center construction and emerge victorious in 20 minutes flat :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2635979140
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2637818738

Single layout yet two very different valleys. Short Six is DNRT, 9 minutes trip with terraforming shortcuts and simple in every way except operating supply chain. Not So Short Six features same delivery objectives and DNRT with expanded production chain more components involved and more industries to visit as well as 4 minutes upgrade on the 5 star timer.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2631598148

6 engines limit, ever increasing Passenger Flow traffic and a single track connecting two parts of this train valley improving the situation means improving the odds of getting 5 stars, some careful planning and quite some timely prompt deliveries later, especially Sand and Glass ones :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2631228681

A terraforming activable behind every tree and this one is a famously colourful forest valley Underground Overground changes its layout almost every other delivery. Different puzzle levels routes construction with One Way Stations present, delivery order calculations, time and engine upgrades management guarantee improved replayability and this week's Level Design Contest 1st place.

@Gelledee is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2627290740
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2636554315

Two levels to test our hand/eye coordination and multitasking driving all the trains simultaneously while calculating and recalculating many supplies for deliveries while planning our next construction job while peeking nervously at the 5-start timer :) Industry requires us to earn 5 000 000 TV2$ and build no tunnels; Industry Too amps up the pace threefold level creator claims you need to earn just 3 000 000 TV2$ but deliver no less than 500 trains a challenge no TV2 practitioner can pass up :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2625263457

Ah, silicon based computational devices. Connect them into networks, share custom built racing locomotives pictures with your acquaintances, access early Imperial Russia steam engines on-line knowledge databases and evade omnipresent whiskey flavored firebox coal pellets advertisements. Also restock and maintain a supply chain in Train Valley 2's recent Workshop level to produce said devices and distribute them to local electronics outlets. Generous timers, engine set that is before the upgrades more about style than speed, plenty of space to lay down the tracks, premium priced construction projects, and no DNRT or DNSAT :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2626260664

Extreme conditions, hostile environment, inhospitable surroundings and unparalleled scientific potential, Hellish Eye train valley presents a layout centered around the site long one-way spiraling track routes result in very busy schedules, a set of maxed out engines is accompanied by DNRT condition and 4 one-way stations. Use the northern tunnel, keep the timers readings close, beat the level in one go :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2629058901

Follow the Magic Lantern in these eerie lands of ghosts, magic and very hungry pumpkins and don't read too much into local potions recipes please :) We are escaping this Halloween train valley with Wizard's Town, Valley Of Ghosts and Lake Of Fire to visit, many buildings to erect, even more routes to lay down onto deceiving terrain, complex supply chain to run, 1 800 000 TV2$ requirement and a sence of accomplishment after seeing your five stars time :)

@Strained Rigging is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - October 11th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2624746198

Building upwards in limited space is one thing, doing so with changeable terrain height is another. Failed test run left production plateaus of Calculation Blunder isolated, and our job is saving the day :) Not too long, not too easy, many unexpected terraforming twists, DNRT plus no less than 5 bridges to construct - this train valley is restartable for many reasons, difficulty curve being just one :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2623711480

Central Machine Tools Corp. train valley offers numerous shortcuts and junction sites complimented by oldschool step by step track tile building, 15 minutes of train deliveries in welcoming desert conditions with no speed limit, remarkable replayability potential and a successful LPT run available now from your Train Valley 2 Workshop browser :)

Weekly Winner - October 4th



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2617459927

One of the longer levels that makes the railroad tycoon part of Train Valley 2 really shine. DNRT and 36:00 on the timer, a vast multibranch supply chain, maxed out engines and 1 000 000 TV2$ in our account, complex superdetailed terrain, demolition side deliveries, mildly narrow margin for error too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2618286824

ELPT-tested level about spider employment statistics, revolutionized airplane manufacturing involving alchemy, very colourful surroundings divided into three parts and making deliveries on time, by trains, right after building at least more than two quite complex junctions. Hire the arachnids by paying them with pure uranium and rubber, produce magic-imbued fixed-wing aircraft and make your deliveries on time. DNRT, 14 minutes limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2617199497

Level creator claims delivering to the cities will trigger something and there will be a lot of delivering. Modified industry chain with Passenger Flow trains mixed in, seemingly easy to navigate terrain, a peculiar chocolate recipe, DNRT, 17 minutes, terraforming events everything a modern railroad tycoon/puzzle needs.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2618362767

ELPT approved flooded suspiciously snow-looking salt pits themed level boasts terraforming events that open subtle shortcuts, intricate railroad junctions needed to complete two levels of delivering tasks, no bridges available to cross the flooded parts, a ban on demolishing jobs, 15 minutes timer and a very affordable shortcut in the north.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2618794936

A game inside the game, Tic-Track-Toe is packed with terraforming events, tricky intersections, unusual routing techniques as well as straightforward solutions with simple DNRT and complete financial independence from the very start. Our LPT level choosing department's seal of approval as well as Level Of The Week award warrant immediate download, wouldn't you agree? :)

Weekly Winner - September 30th


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2614795632

12 cars with building materials, southern city, make sure you still have 2 bridges to build after completing that out of 6 allowed.
Very beatable but hard to optimize one's final time manage several separate supply chains, reconnect three level zones and remember bridges are not the only way to do so, watch your engine list and be prepared for some non-standard-TV2-Editor surprises.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2614705484

Pandas they need food, shelter, more food and some food for later too. Pandas do not like terraforming events too much, nor do they like bridge building, and the only currency local panda food shop accepts is solid gold ingots, not to mention 13 minutes time limit and shortage of panda operating manuals.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2615444531

Passenger Flow mechanics! Prebuilt and presumably still usable railway network! DNRT and DNDATT! Treacherous topology and expensive to navigate obstacles! Busiest 9 minutes you will have today :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2615030224

A river valley divided in two, terraforming to connect it back into one, cutting edge car printing factory, 150 track tile limit, some Passenger Flow gameplay to start our run, possibly buildable areas hidden in the water and 10 minutes on a timer to keep things really interesting.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612499650

Industrial grade glue escaped its tank and only trainloads of paper towels can save the locals from sticky everything. Colored liquids terraforming scenario, barely any resistance from the objectives, almost 10 minutes on the timer and the exact amount of lightheartedness one needs after solving another Gatebase design.

The city of Vista needs help after an earthquake - food, building supplies, fuel, repair parts and Engineers. Find a way to make vital deliveries with four different takes on the same train puzzle, layout differences, objectives adjusted and a range of difficulty levels to choose from.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612176100
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2615948669

Keeping up with the choose your preferred challenge difficulty trend we are provided with two variations of Elevators Activators design - one has DNUP replaced with DNSAT. An automated aircraft factory malfunction is your newest assignment - a multistorey level with just one try per elevator activation based on quest completion terraforming scenario. More details and tips in the comment section, along with tales of glorious restarts :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2607880196

A subject of a recent ELPT, one more peculiar terraforming design where a secret passage opens only if you possess a similarly secret potion. Distract the pharaoh with uranium and gold, get that underground brewing lab going, escort your peoples to the Red Sea. No calves were harmed while building the level :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2610070649

Sorcery and technology clash yet again we are to fix (optionally) a dark chocolate magic experiment gone wrong, work with DNRT objective and terraforming events on a timer, limit our tunnel building ambition and finish in 15 minutes - preferably even less.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2606968777

Multiple terraforming events, track tile limit, mysterious castle on a hill and complete absence of logistics of any kind. Unfortunately pumpkins won't walk themselves to the factory, so two engines will not suffice. A fabled city in the sands is waiting for us to find the key.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2608979526

Burning waste caused multiple fissures around the valley, isolating cities and production buildings. Get rid of the molten trash, rebuild the rails, work around the terraforming and don't forget about the DNRT. 15 minutes and 5 engines limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2609578020

A terraforming story of electric locomotives and magic successfully ELPT'ed and thoroughly adored, Turn is colourful and captivating tale of why one should not mix technology and witchcraft, for it leads to grounds shifting, cities and productions sites getting cut off, requirement for additional - and expensive - tunnels and bridges appearing spawning every kind of railroad puzzle complication there is.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2607932728

A cowpybara that goes by Dai is off to have some deserved shut-eye. Help it or stop it or send it away a cowpybara's memory will catch up one day.
DNDATT and do not destroy anything worse more than 1 TV2$ 18 minutes, complex potion brewing machinery, beautiful surroundings and a story of possible betrayal and very much certain highspeed train chase to follow.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2610293568

One of the greatest terraforming scenarios showcases what one can do with just a couple of water activables and a great idea. Fixing pump stations brings bodies of water down revealing new ways to connect the industries and the bridge limit keeps our vast railroad network from spreading too much. Rebuilding previously constructed junctions is the way to optimize the trainflow, and time and engine count limits spice the logistics problem up nicely too.

Level of the Month - August 2021


Level of the Month - August 2021 - Highspeed Train Racing Strategy Edition :)

It's a race against time, low funds and well-hidden shortcuts, both financial and geographical. Toll stations that earn you money, pit stops that earn you money but require time investment, rail track system that is built not for delivering to and from but for running your engines in a loop, train valley where speeding up time is a vital tool and DNSAT + DNDATT objectives are not our biggest concern.

Welcome to Cars Race.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2587387472

Racing is a very competitive sport, and than there is train racing while delivering fresh off the conveyor race cars - with puzzles/pit stops and upgrading racing track to acquire fresh fuel and even more prize funds. Master the circuit and get the cars delivered ASAP. Unusual, interesting, refreshing experience.

Congratulations @Miaxlo, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Level of the Month - September 2021

Terraforming Level Of The Month contest is over, so is September, and we are ready to announce three winning levels and Level Of The Month winner - simultaneously :)



Level Of The Month: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2610293568

Water levels are dangerously high, pumping stations in disrepair and no supplies in sight. You will need tools, control stations for the pumps, certified declogging personnel and your best engineers survive limited building space, adapt to changing water levels opening new ways of connecting production buildings, overcome engine and bridge limit. Polished, enjoyable, highly recommended. Bravo, @Striker700!



https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612176100

Has a fair warning of greater than usual restart chances, DNUP, also one of the most unusual terraforming mechanics implementations yet. To get the broken aircraft autofactory built on three different storeys running again you are to use automated freight elevators that turn on in strict order and only go up. Work out the activation order, calculate the amounts of resources to transport, wonder what is the connection to a certain short story by E. A. Poe is :)

Now without DNUP objective! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2615948669

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2609578020

Magical potion test gone wrong left infrastructure very unusable, and where magic fails Train Valley engineers will triumph bridges to erect, tunnels to dig, rebuild rail connections to accommodate the changing elevation level of the central settlement, enjoy the colourful surroundings so much so that forget about the timers. Almost :)

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2612489319

First prize! Congratulations @Gatebase!

Intuitive supply chains, more relaxed objectives, some tricky intersections, receding water mechanics and a fun level idea all in one package. Build new home for pandas and elephants and giraffes (and camels), reclaim the surrounding lands, observe ship hovering without water magics, investigate new water breathing cow species and enjoy your productive stay at After The Deluge.

----

Congratulations everybody! Steam Wallet funds prizes will be delivered to the winners by our contact ASAP.

We at Flazm Interactive want to express our profound gratitude for your interest in Train Valley 2. Thank you for you Workshop craftsmanship and around 200 LPTs you attended, your suggestions and assessments in the Forums, all the trains safely delivered and the ones that were blown up :)

See you in a bit!

Weekly Winner - September 20th



Autumn is coming edition.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2602014335

Autumn is already here, and so are seasonal floods on Arrakis. Spice polluted waters encroach on the processing industrial complex, and your task is completing deliveries on schedule as well as flood pumps running. DNRT, 20 minutes, flooding-limited space for expanding your railroad network to remedy later with terraforming events.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2606362743

Be careful triggering the events when trains are travelling over bridges. They may crash. On the other hand, thats an objective as well.

15 minutes, landscape altering terraforming that breaks old routes to create new ones, alchemy somehow involved too. Do not ignore the hyperloop, figure out the poison deliveries priority, make your supervisor proud.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2604025843

An interesting take on Do Not Destroy Objects with total combined worth of - in this case - over 45000 $TV2. Since almost every track tile we construct requires demolishing a specimen of (possibly) very endangered Poaceae, it works a bit like building no more than 45 tiles, except you cannot demolish unused ones to build more. An outstanding problem to solve.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2602801717

Two separate production lines crossing in a dangerous and deadly grid, and no train crashing allowed :) A puzzle built around another puzzle, Grids Pit is an adventure for you, your wits and your preferred controller. Granted the supply chain is not complex, the actual getting the goods to their destinations is. Replayability over 9000, bridge quota of 10 or more, 25 minutes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2603619165

The elves don't work, but do want plenty of gold.

Tolkien Lord Of The Rings lore-based level about wealthy and goods distribution during the Third Age. We have every Free Peoples race present each with different needs and goals, some terraforming that judging by its location and timing is probably The Enemy's doing, 25 minutes for a time limit, landscapes straight out of the books and initial set of engines that are good both for cruising around and getting that ale to the halfling party. DNRT.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2603963607

Something from the past appears.
Has this all happened before?
Who knows?


Would you look at all the colours :) Level augmented with terraforming events that make you rethink every track tile you place several times - and you are allowed to have 120 max - one more layer of difficulty for a challenging delivery puzzle. Feel free to use all 10 minutes of time you're given to figure things out, look out for the cows and get those trains running.

@Gelledee is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - September 13th


Changing water levels edition!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2596174941

TF1 is a story of two cities divided by great waters and mountain ranges in the times of great need for green potions and polymers. Three different levels to build at, terraforming events, DNDATT and three trains to blow up. Building a bridge will not help much. Building several bridges though...

A double entry by @Gayetemp!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595202015

In this cramped, chaotic, colourless nightmare of a city with soulless skyscrapers and unusually high rates of people falling down the drains the only way out is the colourful island getaway conveniently accessible trough yet another drain/hyperloop. Make your deliveries count and wrestle all the hidden alleyways of this concrete jungle to escape in time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2600226546

Immortality, unicorn farms, alchemy and hangovers with a healthy sprinkling of train puzzles on top, DNRT, autotrains, enchanted mountains, 20 minutes limit, underwater ghosts and spiders only party, terraforming events, cow shortage and one ring to somehow fix everything.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595194866

DNDATT is always a good start, and here we have relaxed timers, a depot of will-be-there-eventually engines, constantly improving terrain conditions sponsored by TV2 Terraforming and a secret passage guarded by seagulls. Get the cows to the city and watch out for new track building opportunities.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605385367

Something to do with matching ground and water colouring to help us out with terraforming activation... Our job is to save everything and everybody - again :) - by making timely deliveries and not making trains crash, constructing a power station, powering up the pumps, preserving the jungle where possible under 14 minutes total. TV2 LPT seal of approval included.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2597075992

C trains are the key. Skilled usage of terraforming changes the layout from impossible to "I only have 4 minutes left", the supply chain is complex somewhere at "what is that" level and there are dinosaurs, yet tracks've been prebuilt, the surroundings are nicely detailed and decorated and we've already given you the only hint you'll need :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2595300100

Are you ready to deliver all goods, passengers and trains within the given time limit? Overcome the clever design that prevents shortcuts and any tricks you normally use to get those 5 shinies, control Passenger Flow trains and use the same set of rails to complete your delivery objectives, take out good ol' spreadsheet to work out the timings and calculate the amount of agricultural goods to sell on the side to try and build a second bridge earlier? DNRT, challenging restrictions, great replayability, out top pick this week.

@Brainstorm4 is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - September 6th


New terraforming mechanics first implementations edition!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2592387934

The most gaseous of giants might not have solid surfaces for any conventional building, but green rocks and oil barrels are to be where they need to be - on time - so that is what we will do. Track limit, DNSAT*, customs restrictions, Passenger Flow gameplay - all of that in space!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2592898041

Things are not as solid as they appear in this highly detailed and colourful treasure hunt train valley. 70 minutes, spend - and earn - a lot of money, discover every route there is and use the shortcuts to your advantage. Lost Dutchman Mine treasures have waited for too long :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2589941632

DNUP*, Frontier Era staple goods deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2594120347

Engine count limit, multiple mine gold extraction operation.

Meditative speed gameplay vs. competitive gold mining. 8:00 vs. 20:00. Simple designs, minimal obstacles for railroad expansion, beautiful landscapes akin to earlier TV2 Workshop levels, perfect warm up levels for your railroad puzzles weekend or a trip down to earlier Train Valley 2 days perhaps? :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2594515058

Trigger the terraforming events in order to build the bridges and to remove some pieces of the cake for tunnel construction. We have track building experience on may surfaces and in many places, time to add - judging by outer layer colour - strawberry cake to that list. DNRT*, appetizing surroundings, terraforming mechanics and just 15 minutes. Don't let the level's name trick you :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2592570548

Travel through 4 different biomes, collect valuable materials and provide your city with wheeled motor transportational vehicles. Feel free not to make wrong deliveries, avoid damaging vintage collectors agricultural machinery, complete a 7-tunnel railroad network and use some of that 30 minutes timer to admire local scenery.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2591433098

A remake of a certain Christmas themed level, without timed productions but with demolition jobs limited budget and track limit. The town behind the wall has grown, send your best enginemen and logistics officers to bring resources and goods and influence urban development on a train valley scale :) Colour palette still retains some of that Christmas spirit, topography is very pro-tunnel, the supply chain is quick to explore yet moderately difficult to maintain. LPT worthy - as you already know - and delightful to complete.

@Gelledee is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - August 30th


LPT'ed two levels before publishing review edition :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2583806426

In its simplicity beauty hides. Twin cities river valley with burgeoning industry and occasional cows, Wrench Valley is a fine example of a level everyone can and should complete :) Perfect amounts of difficult, tricky and puzzling, this train valley offers both topographical surprises while planning your tracks and - again - just the right amount of untimely restart possibility.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2586059018

You completed Train Valley 2 and all its DLCs? You deserve a challenge according to @Captain Obvious 2 cities, 13 productions, colourful 4 island with multiple bridge connections layout, several autotrains to keep it interesting and not a single a TV2$ to waste.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2588175368

Supply the construction site with resources, food and water preservation of many species is at stake (especially ghosts :) no wrong deliveries, optional usage of northern double bridge island, state of the art water factory to build and just 15 minutes?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2586772767

Sequel to the massively popular car deconstructing level picks up the story of car manufacturing business hardships and once again uses the disassemble a complex mechanism into components to use elsewhere. DNDATT, complex junctions, very enjoyable.

We will watch your career with great interest, @Miaxlo :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2583592889 that tells a story of two Martian cities, magical supplies shortage, particular green mineral probable involvement too (don't want to spoil the plot :) lower than Earth gravity, zero tolerance for property damage, very generous timers and seemingly unsuitable topography for track laying.

and

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2585248058 where autotrains invasion is happening all day every day seek alternate ways to cross autotrains' tracks piercing the valley, earn enough money to use them if you find any and avoid train crashes.

and

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2587387472 - this week's winning level.

TV2 Super Grand Prix 2021 is on, fastest engines from worlds' most competitive train valleys gathered to compete in demanding business of very fast railway deliveries. DNSAT is a requirement of course :) Clever pitstop mechanic combined with negative price toll stations make a different Train Valley gameplay alltogether - now with updated objectives, slightly reduced maximum time and obstacles!

Train Valley 2 Steam Workshop creators delivering new levels at full steam once more :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2577296583

Suspiciously perfect Y-shaped mountain formation defines gameplay for the next 23 minutes. We're talking tunnels, pink trees and multitrain speed junctions. Make 4 wrong deliveries, keep an eye on your engine upgrades, anticipate stuffed toy bear black market trend changes and absolutely no uranium smuggling :)

[quote=] HONOURABLE MENTION[/quote]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2577813577
and
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2579469781

[quote=]Upgraded and refined, two levels packed with train heavy duty delivery action, developing massive logistics operation, earning much and rediscovering routes and constructing supply chains while surveying untamed yet somehow familiar and bustling with detail landscapes. [/quote]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2578623427

Yet another extraterrestrial life-themed level that raises questions like "Are we the first to walk this Earth?" and "What kind of cheese is Moon made of?". We will help supplying a super secret facility with everything a super secret facility needs - rockets and cows among other things :) 25 minutes to wrap it up, tunnels to build, ancient and very pricey monoliths to avoid.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2579445409

KamikazeBee claims all they wanted was "something chill to play". We think they succeeded in created that something - chill indeed, with just the right difficulty level that comes from supervising several junctions at once controlling railroad switches and keeping in mind all Passenger Flow colour recipes. Plenty of time and no train crashes, Chill Valley is ultimately not as hectic as it looks and satisfying to solve.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2576688520

Continuing with the chill level trend, SpaceX is all about fulfilling supply requirements. No tricks required. No treacherous terrain to slow you down. Just go ahead and build, connect, upgrade, deliver. A straightforward puzzle, unusual in its delivery yet clear about its message :)

@UnicastProduction is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Level of the Month - July 2021 - Snow In The Summer And Locomotive Palontology 101 Edition :)

We cannot upgrade our engines, we have two separate production chains to run, we are to navigate a three-region valley with a T-shaped junction in the middle of everything, we must persevere cold and exorbitant power bills, we will learn to produce a new fuel formula that includes dynamite sticks and copper ingots, we know there is a shortcut somewhere, we absolutely adore building our tracks while looking at these menacingly towering above fossils, we suspect we are not alone in this remote arctic location...

Weekly Winner - August 16th


Our Workshop this week offers just the right level to start a Train Valley 2 session:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2575447694

a Passenger Flow flavoured multitasking test - watch out for different although so closely built track routes required for passenger trains and Engineer deliveries + a DNSAT objective.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2574976465

Access to airplanes is high. A high-level of topography detail entry that brings us to Nevos / Eden Prime / maybe 2175 Aeia requires of us 200 deliveries without a single wrong station one, deploys fastest engines, provides us with a TV2$ 300 000 and 32 minutes, has certain puzzle inside a puzzle way of keeping us entertained. Access to metals is low.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2573622469

Everything is preconstructed, so a Do Not Build A Single Track Tile is keeping us company. At least 4 autotrains to help boost production in a Passenger Flow mechanic of combining coloured passenger trains into differently coloured passenger trains :) A supply chain with simultaneous dual bribery at the Customs stations, a conveniently located Vespene gas deposit, exactly TV2$ 0 to our name and a single engine to drive. All we need to do is earn all. The. Money.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2570568366

Two tunnels to the west are to be demolished for that funds boost. 18 minutes, no wrong deliveries, a very up-to-date Customs officer that accepts CPUs only, this bright autumn vibe multistorey divided layout design shows little mercy for train crashes or any other kind of accident one may have. Very challenging, much restarts, such wow :)

@Thomas is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - August 2nd



New week is upon us and last week's results and assessments are in Choo-Choo Weekly issue 143 out now in your local Steam news feed!

A double entry of https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2559935594 and
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2560129244 to refresh our palette before the main course, these are Passenger Flow levels with a certain difficulty level, lenient secondary objectives and time limits, light scenery and topography. A nice way to start your Train Valley evening run :)

[quote=author] HONOURABLE MENTION our new column about levels that still need some balancing/fixing yet are too interesting not to be shared. [/quote]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2562977316

[quote=author] VERY HARD indeed, but an interesting design as well, here we have a valley divided completely - meaning that even though there is a connection in the middle, each half needs to be powered separately. A remarkably complex production chain relies on buildings all over the valley, no train crashes allowed and only so many seconds on the 5-star timer :) [/quote]

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2558158603

A reverse engineering themed train valley with a DNSAT, A Question Of Colour is a vibrant story about customs officers that do not like colourful trains. To hit your delivery quota you will have to convert your trains into potions, pass every inspection and then convert potions back into required goods. Smuggling, occasional speed train chase, suspenseful tunes and absolutely no wrong deliveries.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2562461005

A DNRT adventure in a lush green valley brimming with swimming pools, used tires, stadiums, construction sites and other tourism amenities that boasts a vast industry complex beset with need for express, 1-day, loading bay to unloading station delivery. Peaceful landscape soon to be peppered with tracks, junctions and cash register sounds, Overcrowded Relax And Cleansing may be chock full of places to drive your engines to but is definitely overflowing with entertainment :)

Weekly Winner - July 26th



Choo-Choo Weekly arrives at platform 26-07-2021 carrying handpicked Workshop levels. Next station - Restartville with a brief stop at HowDidYouDoThatTown :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2552448919

An entry with puzzling name, bulldozable cash bringing buildings, peculiar power station design and picturesque steel mill location Two Little Villages Three features a two parts layout with plentiful space for building and relaxed time limits with pleasantly doable secondary objectives.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2553000553

A DNRT mountainous train valley that encourages multilevel highspeed track builds and cargo train deliveries through substantial time limits, supply chain diversification and a PROCESSED RUBBER autotrain station - best part is you have to pay for that last one too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2553087585

Where is that any key? How does one get more memory for their mouse? What's the best modem to download? We are about to find out with MotherBoard Mayhem an educational DNSAT level taking place inside a personal computer. Four destinations to deliver to, a lot of computer bytes to avoid building on top of, 6 minutes to complete.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555285606

An updated no nonsense or any building around embargo stations recent summer temperatures themed level with a little bit of a bird invasion, huge power bills, sandy dunes and requiring all of your attention Passenger Flow deliveries with a track tile limit to top it off.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2551905805

Extract oil. Refinery or chemical plant. Deliver polymers / fuel. Repeat. Very manageable, perfectly completable. Complimentary unlimited electricity supply. DNRT + DNDATT and a lot of train upgrades available. Still manageable and completable, but also sufficiently challenging. Don't mind the hovering hand.

Weekly Winner - July 19th


Choo-Choo Weekly analysts proclaim the week of "Do Not Destroy Any Track Tiles" levels. Population of DNDATT objectives doubles! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2544960908

A fun Passenger Flow exercise, ColouredAlphabet DF can also be used as learning aid - alphabet and all its tricky letters stand no chance for we have trains, coloured stations and DNRT, a certain time limit and terrain to build many junctions on :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2544577697

A new iteration of

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2320129814

Port Interchange v1.0 is a railway yard simulation instant deliveries from Factory A to Warehouse B are mixed with sorting, storing, rerouting and other types of train management inside restricted space. Creator claims that one can park around 30 trains before things start looking hectic - that sounds like a challenge :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2549337115

A Passenger Flow level with a hyperloop twist - several, actually. Said hyperloops are connected into a not very intuitive pattern and sending a train from E to B will make you think twice and then rethink it a bit more :) Simple yet elegant idea with very generous time limits.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2548791740

This is a Passenger Flow level where you are to be careful with your funds - many stations to deliver to, not enough track money to spend, and then there's engine upgrades too. Good thing local settlement is in need of some wood products, pronto. Happy colour transportation!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2546393065

The only one with no DNDATT objective, Arctic Glacier Bones prohibits engine upgrading instead :) You can still purchase more engines (Tier 5) and that is a hint. At least two separate production chains several production buildings to construct and peculiarly high grade fuel to produce, snowy mountains with some adequately difficult topography to master and junctions to navigate result in Train Valley 2 experience we know and are very fond of :)

Weekly Winner - July 12th


Choo-Choo Weekly arrives precisely on time with a trainful of new levels to try and complete :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2539423087

Many rivers prohibiting free track building - though there is a 200 or more tracks tiles built requirement - and affordable production chain actually makes sense - especially since it is tied to the story. Supply the city with the goods, keep farmer's village stocked and don't forget about exporting to the harbor. Don't crash your trains. Easy, completable, fun.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2539402924

We have at least two lakes so it's up to us to maintain the books count above zero :) Perfect vanilla-like landscaping and detailing, just enough room for building tracks, DNDATT objective and top (re)playability.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2537931830

A situation best not to think about before bed, Surrounded By Crocodiles claims that no crocodiles were harmed during the levels' making. An unexpected twist closer to the end, DNDATT, a Customs station that's out of stationery (wow) and a bit bumpy terrain to make building more interesting :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538806092

Tough is farfadet's job, but what if we add trains to the equation? Makes it even more multilevel and complex - divide your attention between the Passenger Flow junction while supplying passenger trains to many productions in the valley, control your teddy bear supply, produce cars AND airplanes, crash and/or reverse zero trains and save Christmas - everything needs to be done under 15 minutes too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2542215043

Not just fine dining, but fine dining while shopping for jewelry too! DNDATT, precalculated delivery volumes, busy train schedule to the last second - another example of a nice vanilla-looking level, this time divided into 2 sectors with just 2 bridges and terrain cleverly preventing overbuilding and any kind of boredom :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2543243107

[quote=author] No stopping the trains
and a tunnel helps.
Fog in the south. [/quote]

Generous amounts of time to complete and unambiguous supply chain compensated with a complex junction in restricted space of a diverse terrain valley with a couple of coffee shops made of solid titanium (very not demolishable) and DNSAT, Vertigo keeps one on their toes effortlessly. Makes for a great entertainment too :)

Level of the Month - June 2021


Level of the Month - June 2021 - Time To Dust Off Calculus Textbooks Edition :)

Named after Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci, the Fibonacci numbers are a sequence of numbers in mathematics such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. The sequence starts:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2517117105

And Fibonacci 13 by @BenGotham is built on that sequence. You start by building a 0 TV2$ station to connect it to the Lumber Yard with a construction cost of 1 000 TV2$ to deliver 1 train car of wood back, then two carts of coal, three carts of iron ore - you see the pattern too :)

Delivery volumes go up and require engine upgrades - or multiple stage deliveries - but the funds are tight and local terrain unforgiving. Limited building space and production buildings' location dictate microcontrolling every engine at all times. Time objectives are on our side with at least 13 minutes to spare.

Sanskrit prosody, fruitlets of a pineapple and now Train Valley 2 levels. In all its simplicity a refreshingly unusual entertainment hides. Congratulations @BenGotham, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - July 5th


Levels from Train Valley 2 Workshop with links, image previews and text descriptions with entertainment values assessment. Weekly.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2533678905

A train themed puzzle that includes varied elevation levels terrain, customs stations officers that are really serious about their paper, a multibranch production chain and powerful steam locomotives from the times polymers were only theorized about :) Plenty of space to build junctions and almost relaxed time objectives - especially if you invest in your engines early on - a pleasant design all around.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2536856731

A refined experience of just building your tracks to drive your trains to deliver your goods to meet your time objectives to get that 5 stars win. A bit more relaxed gameplay that challenges you just the right amount. Featuring hand-crafted surroundings, several delivery points and restricted building space, Rocky Cavelands maintains the same level of justifiable difficulty through and through.
And yes, you can drive your engines through the rocks, just don't delete the entry track tiles :)

Weekly Winner - June 21st


Special Time Machine issue of Choo-Choo Weekly is here levels for players by players that were lost (or so we thought) in the dimension where/when only DNUP**** objective exists.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2518107881

A level a bit on the short side with an autotrain, two simple production chains and more then generous time objectives creator also claims it might be unfinished and while that last bit is for them to decide, one thing is certain - it is quite playable and very nice to complete.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2519019298

A powerful earthquake hitting a region with a nuclear power plant forces evacuation of 2 cities, and you are to help while having limited everything time and funds most importantly. A map that requires careful planning and management despite few and very completable looking objectives, DNSAT* included.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2516594535

Ah, an ATU B124 classic. Three structures, different building materials, a certain individual with higher tidal lung volumes, dynamite factory...and a train puzzle? A fresh locomotive-powered take on this timeless story gives you 8 minutes and an objective to blow up anything and everything 50000 TV2$ worth. A fantastic short expertly crafted game.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2522498439

A secret naval base built in record time has some difficulties with logistics, and this is where you come in. Navigate restricted terrain, build amazingly impossible junctions, keep in mind one way stations and the oil autotrain, almost forget about DNSAT* objective and emerge victorious anyway :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2519733331

42 personal computers is the final delivery objective. Probably somehow connected to the meaning of, well, everything? Minimalistic retro-futuristic terrain, a manageable supply chain, a bit less than 42 minutes to complete. A very nice railroad puzzle exercise. Bring a towel.

A level so impressive we LPT'ed it before even writing about it in Choo-Choo Weekly - that is a new record. A very interesting design that is supposed to have some ways about solving it but actually has a lot, this is a classic Train Valley 2 gameplay experience lay down the tracks, keep objectives in mind, look for shortcuts and possible workarounds and that 15 minutes timer will (hopefully) stop at 14:59 faster than you can say "the two-twenty-two train tore through the tunnel." :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2517117105

Fibonacci Sequence, now with locomotive paradox flavour! An inordinately clever creation that looks and plays (at least for the first 5 seconds) very simple, but after that the costs of production buildings, track building (through greater distances), delivery volumes and the overall difficulty go up exactly per the sequences' first several numbers. While there is a long and both exhausting and exhaustive article on the Wiki, Fibonacci 13 explains everything you need to know in a very entertaining and definitely replayable form.

@BenGotham is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Weekly Winner - June 28th



Most recent Train Valley 2 Workshop submissions in this issue of Choo-Choo Weekly levels for players, by players.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2527061536

A simply superb level to get us into train puzzle resolving business in no time employs a mixture of limit on the number of track tiles to build, Passenger Flow mechanics and ingenuity. You could try squeezing all the secondary routes in to bypass the passenger trains, but will you have the funds and time to control two separate track systems?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524234334

A centerpiece in this one is a track you seemingly cannot connect to anywhere else :) There is our friend DNDATT** and his partner DNRT*** that will keep us company while navigating confined spaces of a baobab valley with its multiple branch supply chain and 15:30 time limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2525667855

A Passenger Flow action all the way in Australia, complete with Uluru / Ayers Rock and approximately one friendly engine-sized spider that keeps your gray matter railroad puzzles zone racing at all times. DNSAT*, no demolishing allowed and more stations to look forward too - good thing I have a spare mouse in my drawer :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2524167501

Complex terrain, track tile limit, DNRT*** and plenty of time to account for everything - it is recommended to watch your trains' size. A walk in the Lake District was never this challenging before an interesting design with a simple idea at its center.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2523191570

Ah, where to begin. We have a giant FROG if you ask me it has no trouble crossing any road at all that DEMANDS 5 cows for light brunch and dynamite for dessert. It also has certain interest in potions and canned goods, but we also have a small town on the other side of a very intricate railroad track system with three autotrains constantly using said system that needs some cows too as well as a lot of rethinking on their import/export tariffs. Check your time, control the autotrains, keep the DNRT*** in mind, succeed. A true rollercoaster of a level.

@LittleBear is our newest winner! A 10 Steam gift card will be delivered to them by our contact ASAP.

Level of the Month - May 2021



Logistics tycoons of Train Valley 2 magnitude are used to partying with royalty. Some last minute cargo deliveries and construction projects to make it on time ( 14 minutes + DNUP* ) and maybe secure that exclusive contract with the royal family too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2475631565

A wonderful train puzzle crafted into a peaceful green river valley, we have a three zone plus limited connection options layout with restricted space for track building (there is room for different approaches and you can have all the bridges you want) a DNDATT** objective, three production chains and engine upgrades yet the gameplay is brilliantly paced with prices of building new production facilities calculated and delivery goals adjusted, taking us back to simpler times of first several hundred levels published in our Workshop a balanced, finely tuned experience for everyone.

A couple of complex junctions and some cows surely cannot stop you in your tracks :) Don't mind that entry fee for your final deliveries to the castle and enjoy your time at Party For A Princess.

Congratulations @Sprieltje, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - June 14th


This week's latest designs assessed and presented to you by Choo-Choo Weekly trains, puzzles, train puzzles, puzzles with trains in them every week!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2513502612

Looks like a laboratory setup with productions acting as scientific equipments and white ground in black water looking like a lab table. Don your lab coat and crack this formula before DNSAT* cuts your funding :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2511144490

An excellent fast paced puzzle of "level divided in two with a single route to connect the parts" kind but there are 4 parts and many routes, some more accessible than others. Building bridges is a requirement so you should use that as a hint :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2515126079

@Gatebase strikes again with their newest submission - expertly crafted with tools that are not even included in the Editor it feels and plays just like a campaign level. Fair time limits, acceptable challenges, classic Train Valley 2 looks and a big twist Hydroponics is a must-try.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2512672021

Designed just like vanilla Train Valley 2 levels, Hollowbold uses simple obstacles and objectives to make your solution more complex every minute. Plenty of room for your tracks, but what is the most efficient layout? Passenger Flow trains give you steady income, but should you buy more engines first or proceed with the Power Station construction? A pleasant and seemingly hasteless gameplay.

Weekly Winner - June 7th


All aboard! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived to the What Levels Do I Try This Week station!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509515365

An entertaining Passenger Flow level with 50 trains on a somewhat tight schedule with a dual track circular layout limiting your route options. Took just seven retries to complete :D

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2504426531

The next installment in the Luna 27xx series takes us back to the Moon just in time to help with the Luna University opening. New shuttle terminal is finished as well as new production buildings, so a new schedule is in order. Automated deliveries will keep you very busy and so will the track tile limit.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508628996

A new series created as an homage to the original Train Valley game with a focus on track laying and switching to combat the onslaught of automatic trains. New spawners gradually come online and the order is marked by the letters on the roof a gentle introduction to the

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2508634127

Essentially a new game mode, in Construction you are to work with automatic trains and focus on construction and switching. You have some room for error - the blue roofed buildings will accept autotrains but will set you back on the road to meeting your delivery quotas. Plan ahead for uneven and different timings and watch out for really, really expensive windmills. A different design indeed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2503898176

Snow, cold, research facilities and schedule full of deliveries awaits us. Terrain that does a very good job of making us think it is trivial to build on, production chain with numerous components and DNDATT** objective will accompany us on our journey to five stars and possibly a couple of two :( four stars too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2509492000

Purple Mountains hide many things hyperloop routes, possible tunnel and/or bridge constructions sites, a track on the right to connect the power station, a DNSAT* objective, amusement rides and of course some peculiarly coloured rock formations.

Weekly Winner - May 31st


This is Choo-Choo Weekly your definitive source of Train Valley 2 levels to try. We have quite some on the longer side this time, and some super challenging but quick for dessert, shall we?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2499596650

The War rages on. Supplies are scarce and your job is delivering in time while restoring lost production facilities and reestablishing train track system. A 45 minutes DNSAT* mission where you have to destroy million and a half TV2$ worth of well, anything.
Oh and the enemy have a giant tank. Good luck :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2498995446

A level with generous time objectives and a much welcome opportunity to wind down, in Birth of Confucius you deliver enough paper, books, scholars and bring enlightenment to these pink sand beaches. You are to blow up at least 7 trains too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2498448725

Las Roquetas is about connecting two parts of the level with a track that goes all the way around its edges. No bridges or tunnels this time, so plan ahead, watch the passenger trains, keep in mind you have 25 minutes but you are not allowed to reverse and/or crash trains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2499538364

connect the purple potion to power early in the run
Ahem.
Since Advanced Potion-Making is very much a thing in Train Valley 2 universe, you'll have to conjure a track layout to brew the Tribal Potion. Ingredients include bats, spiders, electricity, a certain level of sophistication of track building. You're given 15 minutes to not reverse a single train :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2499155285

Connect two zones and be fast, smart and very fast about it :) No destroying track tiles, 25 scheduled passenger trains and a lot of cows to move around these rural parts. Tight timing, tight gameplay, a Tight Passage indeed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2496415921

Get all that lovely green and black stuff back to your village while avoiding that pond. Pick up some chocolate on your way, and remember about your time limits and engine count restrictions. A colourful level with variative complexity that is solely your choice to make extra interesting by not using a single tunnel :)

This is Choo-Choo Weekly micromanaging track layouts, suffering complete defeat because of a stray bush that costs 230000 ducats to remove, talking drifting capabilities of the Bulldog series and waiting patiently for the next chapter of Color Factory series.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2491596525

Farming And Mining by @Unclekrusty is one of those trendy entree levels - simple, fast to burn through and enjoyable. It really isn't though you have a lot of freedom to build the tracks where you please yet that doesn't help all that much :) A pastoral landscape with a majestic railroad riddle in hiding.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2492684046

But this one is - Copper Speed Run by @Tanyafxg is all about speed. And resource management. And time management too. Light, pleasant and challenging level to start your Train Valley weekend.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2489501218

@TNTFTB annihilates the competition with his first upload Venturi is an "awkward logistical horror where everything is produced twice as slowly" but do I really have to tell you about the satisfaction of seeing the puzzle turning into a working logistics system?Simplistic looks are a ruse.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494348611

Eurovision song contest level by @Gelledee takes you all around Europe to bring peoples together enjoy some good music, hang out with fellow trains-and-also-catchy-tunes-heads and have a jolly good time. Masterful Passenger Flow mechanics implementation, as always very colourful and pleasant surroundings and almost ornate track layout closer to the level's completion. Australia will join in later.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494850139

@LittleBear's level that has several options achieved through nonstandard design, doesn't drown you in micromanagement, gives you a puzzle buried under even more puzzles, looks great and entertains your problem-solving center. Dump Truck Protest manages to support the design with the backstory too - just look at the level's name :) Give it a try and you will come back to improve your times if not just to look at all them neat yellow lorries.

@LittleBear, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2483956426

J. R. R. Tolkien mentioned a green sun in one of his monographies. But what about green water? @thomas must know something his latest creation has quite a lot! Divided in two halves by a mountain range, it has many tracks to build and several complex production chains to attend to, at least two ways to go about crossing that mountainous obstacle and a Do Not Destroy Any Track Tiles objective.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2485454193

@ishKiia submitted another entry the trains in her Color Factory saga and an unusual one to say the least. The engineer at fault was never can still found and your new job is to save all the color samples to start a new factory somewhere safer. The get through layout is very unorthodox with layers of tracks spanning whole level, there's a restriction on track tile removal and a 10 minutes timer the black ink to keep things interesting :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2487055772

A super felicitous entry by @Polari, this level presents us with classic divided in two geography with a single access point in the middle where you are to avoid any train crashed for 24 minutes :) The execution is on point as both cunning production pyramid and mild lack of space lead to especially neat track layout and possible untimely restart.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2486244771

@UnicastProduction surprises us with a level based on a local memetics phenomenon if there is a level for Train Valley 2, there is a solution to it by @stev1eb that is going to be both vastly different and many times more efficient than yours. In a land where airplanes are used as currency and a staple resource your task is to fly low under local Customs station radars and deliver components for assembling even more red airplanes to the secret Grand Pink Canyon Airplane Factory. There is a nice pace to this level with funds being very tight and production chains being not so obvious.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2483947281

A winning entry by @Inunderstandable me / @Itsumi-chan, Alpine Bridge lets us finish developing logistics network around a giant bridge somewhere in the Alps by building even more bridges - at least eight :) You have an ample amount of time to explore all the routes and route possibilities - this one is truly non-linear, almost sandbox experience with word INTRICATE not leaving your mind once for the whole duration. A pleasurable adventure in an exemplary train valley filled with treacherous hills, sneaky hyperloops. primeval forests and an occasional trainspotter bear :)

@Inunderstandable me, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now.

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Level of the Month - April 2021


Level of the Month April 2021 edition is here, looking creative, fresh and fun to play!

"... to redesign the system for better maintainability or to produce a copy of a system without access to the design from which it was originally produced." - me on reverse engineering after good 10 minutes of googling :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2461727621

@ishKiia created a level brilliant to its core you disassemble ready to ship cars into basic components to smuggle through a wall of Customs stations that won't let through anything complex to later reassemble said components into cars again! A complicated multistage process while in reverse (see what I did here?) proves to be even more processing power consuming :)
Why? A hostile takeover, power play among car factory owners, some questionable practices, profit to be made.
How? That is a good one :) 15 minutes, Do Not Reverse Trains and Do Not Allow Any Train To Arrive At The Wrong Station. You do have fastest engines from the start though.
Where? Quaint grasslands valley landscape with a waterway. Divided layout suggests several stages to this operation, limited space dictates any crazy track layout you can think of that helps you succeed is the way to go.

An enjoyable game all around, the comments section sums the experience up way better:
"My brain can't keep up with this level. but so fun!!" - @hika

Congratulations @ishKiia, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - May 10th


A fine selection of Train Valley 2 Workshop levels and level series is presented to you by Choo-Choo Weekly. Choo-Choo Weekly try them out today!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2481093881
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2481082881
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2481066610

@Jack created something extraordinary this time - a set of three levels that is simultaneously very completable, deeply enlightening and maximum enjoyable. Believe it or not there is a competition going right now, players from around the world are fighting to shave off nanoseconds and come closer to the top. An unusual entree but a very welcome one!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2480737981

Recycling is the future and there's money in it too! A classic by @Gelledee, Scrap has it all booming wildlife, colourful scenery, a couple tricks down the local railroad track layout's sleeve and just enough time to accept defeat.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2479111410

Train Valley 2 and @LittleBear launched a new crypto currency - ChooCoin. With current circulating supply of appr. 1.935 mil and release rate of 18000 per trainful of coal we expect to triple our maximum supply and acquire a new 3 425 000 TV ducats office on an island with at least 5 helipads in the next 15 hours after this issue of Choo-Choo Weekly release. Keep the trains busy and the energy running :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2480296212

An easy to beat, hard to optimize level by @Gatebase claims to flip the swimming in money by the end of a typical TV2 level principle around with particularly high degree of freedom, simple and clear goal and plenty of time to explore and probably complete the level. Just don't go straight for the PC factory like I did >_>

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2480591272

An outstanding level by @Tuskaparaati is here to make your day way busier by offering a Passenger Flow only challenge - there's only train upgrading economy-wise, rather simple track layout (just kidding :) and passenger trains departing everywhere. A bit hectic at the start with a big and scary rush hour closer to the end of your shift, Busy Day arrives at Best Level Of The Week station right on schedule :)

@Tuskaparaati, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - May 3rd


Train Valley 2 Workshop is going strong brimming with new puzzles and brainteasers. Try them out right now, in no particular order! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2472856992
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2474181508

A two part series to start this chart off, Color Factory maps by @ishKiia teach us how colors are made at a Color Factory. Your task as an hired Engineer is to up the production rate and later to clean up the mess the last Engineer left behind after experimenting with Black color (they say he fell straight into the pit never to be seen again). Oh well. A creatively colo(u)rful and challenging gameplay, unusual and different. Thank you, ishKiia! :-)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2472124090

Another rules bending more-than-meets-the-eye entry by @Thomas a simple task of connecting two villages becomes anything but simple too fast (drowned tracks in the middle is a substantially sized nope by the way :), nevertheless an enjoyable challenge for seasoned train drivers and newcomers alike.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2475631565

You're invited to a party and you need money, presents and candy to enter (the best kind of party if you're an owner of a massive logistics company. The entry fee is very affordable but you will easily spend tenfold getting some fresh chocolate and most recent decorations designs and exclusive gifts funds will be your smallest problem because there's always Do Not Destroy Track Tiles as well as the archenemy of many Do Not Pause objective :) Cunningly paced gameplay, picturesque surroundings, top joyous railroad delight of this week's chart.

@Sprieltje, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2467656645 and its updated version
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2467654331

A tiny and delightful level by @engineer_cat get in, connect everything and deliver the goods, get out. Fast and smooth, an outstanding appetizer for today's selection :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2466091741
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2466087202

A railroad puzzle trifecta by @Gaztibelza, based on a motion picture of the same name. Challenging additional requirements, a lot of things to take care of, all three with almost the same terrain but each with a different feel. Story is a nice bonus.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2466173300

A wild ride indeed by @LittleBear, busy marine cargo terminal is filled with possibilities and different routes, a whopping 134 trains to deliver objective and all those SPIDERS and BATS orders to fill this rollercoaster is a must to try.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2465775610

This one by @Pierluigi75 is for the tough guys :) A carefully crafted adventure that has it all - explosions, tons of loot, clever plan B, authorities on high alert and train chases (just no train crashing please), even some unexpected bridge construction. Bellissimo!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2461727621

A process or method through the application of which one attempts to understand through deductive reasoning how a device, process, system, or piece of software accomplishes a task with very little (if any) insight into exactly how it does so. Reverse Engineering by @ishKiia is backed by a captivating story about betrayal, hostile takeover, some heavy duty train deliveries and a mind blowing layout that won't leave your Subscribed list that easily :)

@ishKiia, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Weekly Winner - April 19th



I hope you're ready, because it's this time of the week at last. Choo-Choo Weekly's top picks for your reading and completing pleasures are here:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2455613719

Dis map by @ENFORCER ain't big enough for da two of us! :) A Train Valley 2 remake of legendary 2Fort map brings back memories as well as a fresh railroad puzzle take on a single passage between two separated parts of a level. No underwater tunnel though, not allowed to build additional bridges too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2460176403

@Thomas brings us a feast where a centerpiece mini conundrum defines the whole dinner flavour :) Embargo stations, multiple production chains and not so obvious track layout makes that one an instant classic, challenging and a bit unfair :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2456848429

A fruit themed level by @rachael.brzys is all about managing many trains in confined spaces of a Pineappland where CPUs are in great demand, local university is suspiciously productive while not requiring any resources and a pineapple eating pigs infestation is full on :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2458317649

If there's something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call? @Pierluigi75!
Ghost Busters HQ produces a strange yellow potion and the main component is SPIDERS. Luckily there's an unlimited supply and quite impenetrable fortifications around the HQ - you just need to establish the logistics :) There was something about some portal to another dimension with said spiders that you are to close too.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2458247685

Just as the name suggests, this level's gameplay by @Vardion revolves around storing those interesting green rocks in the uranium factories since you need quite some time before dynamite is available to you (that's a hint alright :) You can't park trains too because the train crews are nervous about their green cargo, and don't forget you'll also have to get some engineers into the lab later somehow. Let at least 1 train enter the wrong station and good luck :)

@Vardion, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Level of the Month - March 2021



We're ready to tell you about Level of the Month March 2021 edition and hope you will approve, it is LotR themed after all :)

There lies his crown in water deep,
Till Durin wakes again from sleep.


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2421613027

Dig deep into the mines of Moria and find your path through the Dark Forest @Pierluigi75 takes us on a journey many of us completed before (just don't mention the theatrical cut please :)
Facilities and production buildings complete familiar landscape Mt. Doom, Moria Halls, Mirkwood, Dead Marshes are easily recognizable and add some unexpected railroad puzzle flavour to the experience. We have sensible timers here starting from 15 minutes, we are not allowed to crash trains or send trains to wrong stations though. It plays admirably smooth things tend to pick up speed the further you progress, there's always stuff to miss or blow up by accident just when you start feeling confident and resulting track network looks like something only Maiar magic could produce :)

A very good brain exercise, quite a bit of fun and not a single "should've just used eagles" in sight :) Congratulations @Pierluigi75, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way!

Weekly Winner - April 12th



Start your week with a still steaming a bit, fresh out of the printing press, highly popular railroad and everything train puzzles Choo-Choo Weekly newspaper! New level creator challenges everyone with their first submission! Spend 40 minutes and fail your playthrough because you blinked too much! Upcoming DLC is rumored to include an Undo button and a Double Pause function!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2448552420

In darkness, I shall be light. This week's level by @BenGotham is divided not only in colour but with obstacles and terrain as well. Multiple production chains and tricky track placement options coupled with generous timers and very strict objectives make the time fly by, or maybe that's my big mug of evening cocoa talking :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2454220146

At least 16, Karl! As the name suggests, a mountainous level by @LittleBear requires your full tunnel engineer attention, because flat surface and simple track routes are out of fashion in these parts :) Connect the cities across the landscape, acquire the very expensive special yellow bottles, emerge victorious and maybe build a couple more tunnels :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2452811504

Good luck, Mr. Architect! You will need some with both Do Not Stop Any Trains and Do Not Pause objectives on the table. @Gaztibelza brings a puzzle that requires coordination, wits, a sprinkle of outside-the-box thinking, and patience :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2454198591

A fresh design by @Thomas, this time we're helping a quaint industrial town to develop a resort with sea access and a uniquely shaped beach area. Or is it the other way around? You have some time to take in the scenery, just watch your trains locals don't seem to like explosions :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2449535599

We weren't click baiting you with promises of a new player bringing the competitive levels even higher in our Workshop. @Engineer_Cat's premiere is on and this single production chain with many branches level will keep you busy for at least 12 minutes Do Not Reverse Any Trains and Destroy Everything You Want But Only If It's Cheaper Than 3.99 objectives are there to cheer you up too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2451890368

This is it. The level of the week. Made by @Pierluigi75. Recovered from abyss with collaborative effort of everyone on Train Valley 2 dev team. Beautiful scenery. Intricate terrain. If you need to get a computer, there's no need to get your tracks wet. Tight budget and expensive production buildings to erect. An objective to annihilate at least 70000 TV2 ducats worth of stuff. Just the right amount of silliness and an overall enjoyable experience.

@Pierluigi75, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - April 4th


This just in - new levels for you to feast your minds on, more exciting additions to Train Valley 2 Workshop, maybe some upcoming DLC news too?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2441566188
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2445565173
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2441694382

A triptych by @Bengotham set in distant future. Resources are nearing depletion and humanity is looking towards the stars. Some trains all the way back from Earth to help you out, authentic Moon landscapes and three different starting conditions sets for you to try out.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2443380655

@Sprieltje present us with a Super Simple Beginners Map that is exactly what is promised on the lid - a simple no pressure gameplay, a light breeze amidst battle for splitsecond results and Do Not Crash A Single Train challenges. Except it has one of those too :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2442925597

An entry by @LittleBear tricky solutions and friendly time limits go well together in this high tech looking industrial complex. Build your way around the machinery to restore power and try to reverse no trains would you? :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2442112687

Northlake city puzzle adventure by @Spons83 with Do Not Stop ANY Trains flavour is a mind-challenging level with respectable timers and a lot of things to keep in mind. Multitasking is a requirement and so is a certain affinity for some good old pixelhunting and a good cup of tea.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2446358233

Yet another gastronomical themed level by @Thomas that plays tricks on your perception as well as your railroad building skills. You are actually encouraged to direct trains into wrong stations and have plenty of time to do that, but we do know that is just the tip of an iceberg.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2443826818

Ah, the ship that halted everything. My Train Valley 2 Oculus Quest delivery was delayed for three days, can you believe that? Your mission should you choose to accept it is to restore the cargo transit volumes while delivering tugboat crews to the crash site. As riveting as watching the news, certainly has way more railroad puzzle action, utter fun to play.

@Unclekrusty, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Weekly Winner - March 29th



We at Choo-Choo Weekly wish you a good day and invite you to indulge in an all new Level Design Contest covering hottest and meanest puzzles of week past.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2432438495

A worthy tribute by @thomas to a level from 2018 by @Mara (here's a link to refresh your memory :) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1413741092
Not so much a rework but rather a recreation that adds and improves without changing the original concept; a thank you from all the players who enjoyed it.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2431464702

@Gelledee and their level at it again - the looks, the gameplay, the puzzle, the fun. New Universal Factory production building is here too, and limited number of tiles to build like a cherry on top of that flavoursome train puzzle.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2432687197

A straightforward level by @spons83 with simple objectives and logical solution hinted at with every detail there is. Don't crash expensive trains, get astronomically rich, build some tunnels along the way and enjoy the scenery.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2439094775

There's a number of cows indeed as well as quite some stuff too on this level by @LittleBear :) A quaint rural slash agricultural experience with forgiving timers and peaceful landscapes, a different take on a railroad conundrum to spend your leisure time solving.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2432823294

Yes @pierluigi75, kaboom! :) We're blowing up mountains today: two stages of production, really cool explosions that unlock said stages somehow combined with avoiding any train crashes objective, just enough time to finish deliveries and not enough time to look back at detonating rocks :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2438712594

Just look at that workshop preview. Did someone say waffles? A Triangular level by @thomas brings a delicious crunch for your gray matter how does one squeeze all these tunnels in? What is the connection to a certain corporation specialized in building better worlds here? What does it take to not reverse a single train? Where to get at least a couple more minutes? :) When will @thomas publish the next one?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2432715367

We all love some locomotive puzzle with our morning tea, our dinner zesty mineral water, our hot cocoa before calling it a night. But what about a train brain teaser that's a tabletop game too? Advertised as "Five star fun for all the family", this level shows us what Train Valley 6 multiplayer might look like, with multiple (oh!) coloured player bases, no track deletion and intricate existing railroad network. Time is the enemy and so is rushing to build everything ASAP. Most enjoyable gameplay and a very nice design.

@BenGotham, outstanding work! A 10 Steam gift card is heading your way right now :)

Weekly Winner - March 22th



Welcome to your favorite part of TV2 experience - Choo Choo Weekly is finally here to showcase the hottest Workshop transportation conundrums.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2428412631

Challenging time objectives, gripping balancing game of construction expenses and train upgrades, treacherous scenery to navigate a very nice level to accompany your 5th cup of coffee this evening :) Thanks @LittleBear!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2427062494

Ultra-simple objectives paired with completely flat topography result in an entertaining and fresh take on level construction by @ishKiia only two tiles to build and zero tiles to destroy, but where and when?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2429155284

A brainteaser by @Thomas with several productions chains, picturesque mountainous surroundings, tricky and risky junctions do your job in time so that the locals have a good book to read before bed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2429332223

A quick but restart-y map by @Gelledee with a big lake in the middle that forces you to think around it. Save the ducks from stale bread crumbs and have a go at our new and improved Do Not Stop Any Trains objective.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2426012783

@pierluigi75 takes us on a journey all the way back to the times of Roman Empire that somehow is in possession of bleeding edge railroad technology :) Conquer the Tiber, become the ruler of local freight transportation, touch not the landmarks and emerge victorious before mere 20 minutes pass.

Update #34 - Bugfixes and QoL improvements



Greetings! It's been quite some time since we last brought you an update, or so we've been told :) Without further adieu:

What is new?


  • Added a Universal Factory production building to the editor - looks more industrial-ish, does the same thing as Alchemical Lab!
  • A new way to delete tracks and nothing else but tracks by holding Shift button and clicking left mouse button.
  • Stopping a train will now only count when it stops completely meaning you have a very small window to change your mind and not fail a Do Not Stop Any Trains challenge.
  • You can now delete a bridge while having negative funds.
  • Both Customs and Power Plant now have a stock counter.


What was fixed?


  • Store icons are no longer highlighted in green colour randomly.
  • Fixed inability to complete a level if the last coloured train goes anywhere except a coloured station.
  • And other minor fixes.


We are always looking forward to your feedback and bug reports. See you in a bit, friends!

Weekly Winner - March 15th



Mighty fine day to you. I see you've got yourself a newest issue of Choo-Choo Weekly too. I approve! Jeeves, please treat our guest to some coffee. Let's see, what do we have here...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2421599906

SPIDERS AND BATS HABITAT DESTROYED BY FLOOD, ENDANGERED SPECIES TAKEN IN BY LOCALS by @LittleBear

The facility itself is in ruins but the entry fee still applies. TV2 Logistics representative steps in to organize specimen extraction while local authorities are asking farmers for help amidst food shortage in the region.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2418548251

AMBITIOUS EXPANSION UNDERTAKEN BY NORTHERN VILLAGE by @Gelledee

Previously assessed as too expensive to develop, this northern region regains hope as TV2 Logistics tunneling engineers claim they have found a way to expand existing railroad network, bringing thousands of potential jobs and at least 1 550 000 of investments. Codenamed CHEVRON, construction project is scheduled to be completed in 20 minutes.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2422705710

YARRIN RUMORED TO BE THE NEXT TV2 LOGISTICS BIG PROJECT by @Spons83

Days before TV2's debut on EGS stock market it became clear how vast its delivery and transportation operations really are. An insider told us in a private conversation TV2 is looking to invest its newly raised capital and Yarrin region is one of the top candidates. Strict embargo rules and difficult terrain considered advantages by TV2 top brass, this phenomenal development campaign made top headlines ahead of its start.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2423278063

SKI RESORT NOT READY FOR UPCOMING CHAMPIONSHIP by @Gaztibelza

Months before a premiere league winter sports championship local ski resort is reported as catastrophically unready for upcoming event. International Winter Sports And Activities Committee refuses to reschedule and even TV2 Logistics revolutionary approach doesn't seem to be enough to turn things around.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2421613027

MORIA MINES UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT, LOCAL FREE PEOPLES COMMUNITY EXPECTING MIRKWOOD FOREST PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT by @pierluigi75

Struggling to handle major Ork oversupply situation following recent events at Isengard, authorities plea for help was answered by a nine specialist team sent from Rivendell TV2 branch to investigate possible jewelry transportation routes. Current reports suggest the team contracted local Oathbreakers PMC and is progressing towards Orodruin smelting facility. While several experts suggest simply using Great Eagles Airlines instead, there is always room for good narrative about overcoming both landscape and personal obstacles, besting rivals and uniting local communities for a noble cause.

Editor's note: Congratulations, @pierluigi75! For in-depth reporting, commentary, and analysis Choo-Choo Publishing would like to commemorate your effort with a 10 Newell's Entertainments Shop gift certificate.

I say! Jeeves, get the car ready. The red one! I'm in the mood for some stocks foolery today.
Would you like to come with? You can tell me everything about that Work-shop invention on our way there.

Weekly Winner - March 8th



I salute you, devoted ferroequinologists (don't ask) of Train Valley 2. Another week passed and new levels are here to bedazzle certain parts of your gray matter :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2412019626

A laid back challenge by @NumbersWoman. The bridge will (most likely) not save you, and seemingly spacious layout isn't there to give you confidence boost too :) Solution variability and specific order not to crash trains at least this one time will keep you company.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2415207207

A captivating action starring @Gelledee. Paid hyperloops! Seagull invasion! Whopping 140 trains to deliver! Intense and colourful landscape to traverse! Possible smuggling operation secondary plot! Out now in your nearest TV2 workshop :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2416627213

@Thomas takes us on a journey to Green Valley, where anything is possible, especially if you have 1 750 000 to earn and subsequently reinvest. A hyperloop haunted forest hides numerous possibilities and peaceful scenery almost tricks you into reversing all your trains just to watch them choo-choo around a bit more.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2417503573

Observe, for @Gaztibelza has already built everything for us, we just need to demolish exactly zero track tiles. Oh and we can't reverse any trains too. Scheduled arrival of several cargo loads from outside, 50 railroad switches, 50 passenger trains on hold, a couple of sidetracks and 22 minutes to take care of everything that's on your plate.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2413262867

You can unlock a second station right at the start sounds like a sensible advice from @Spons83. Might that be a meticulously crafted trap? Heavyport is a fine place to spend next 20 minutes of your evening whatever the answer is, if your idea of a good time is avoiding train crashes, micromanaging your funds and exploring every alternate route to escape those pesky embargo stations.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2417718027

Shopping can get boring and repetitive, sure, but not today. @LittleBear's TV II MALL is now open and waiting lines were successfully replaced by track building puzzles, delivery times were cut down by airdropping your order straight into your train's cargo hold and the boring part of it was annihilated by a brand new Build Your Own PC workshop right on the premises. Passenger transporting fever outside precedes chaos full of tunnels and bridges inside to make your neurons fire and your input device smoke just a little bit :)

@LittleBear, both glory and a 10 Steam gift card are rightfully yours :) Nicely done!

Don't forget to tell us about your TV2 workshop adventures and visit our Discord server for an upcoming LPT challenge. Until next week!

Level of the Month - February 2021



Welcome to the LEVEL OF THE MONTH showdown! Toughest, meanest levels from all over the workshop gather today to fight for the ULTIMATE CHAMPION OF FEBRUARY 2021 BELT! Making his way to the ring from @BlaiddL3g3nd, weighing 1.441 MB, current Weekly Winner on February 16th, A City...AAPAAART! :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384729361

Every time we have to choose single best level we have a lot of unproductive disagreements over several chats spanning at least a week. Visuals, design, usage of different game mechanics, pacing, difficulty, all those things to keep in mind while assessing handpicked weekly prize winning entries. Now this isn't about our job being hard, that's us pointing out that TV2 workshop has a lot to offer :)

This time your job is to connect two cities divided by a flood. Terrain is damaged and uneven, the infrastructure needs repairs and apparently caoutchouc is the answer :) Your every choice will have consequences train upgrades, tunnel building, routes built. While your trains are doing all the hard work for you driving around colourful landscape and not reversing even once, there's a Shelob's relative to find, a giant dragon skeleton to avoid, a 14 minute timer to be a bit nervous about. Plays just as good as it looks.

A City Apart is now the current reigning and defending Champion! @BlaiddL3g3nd, your 30 Steam gift card is on its way. Congratulations!

Train Valley 2 community and developers want you, reader, to bring out your level editor and show us train driving complexity levels we never knew even existed. Build, create, compete. Having fun is a requirement.

Weekly Winner - March 1st



Ah, the smell of freshly built tracks in the morning. And it's the first day of spring. Simple things, am I right? Simplicity can be beautiful, especially if it hides complexity underneath :) Hello and welcome to this issue of Choo-Choo Weekly!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2405093668

So easy its name says "easy" twice :) May look slightly less complicated then some of the entries, but you see there's this tricky turn and then there's a rather sophisticated junction and do you even really need to build that bridge? Not to worry, pondering on the tactics - and this map presents quite a few opportunities - is interesting and delectably easy. It says LOVE at the top too :) Thanks, @!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2407765616

BUILD A TUNNEL TO USE HIDDEN WORKERS ahem, a map by @LittleBear that takes us to the Red Planet on a mineral extraction mission, and a challenging one at that. You'll need to watch your funds closely to open new routing opportunities, but be sure to overspend because one of the objectives is about doing just that. Done easily though, I mean look at that near zero-G glass factory construction price :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2405619638

@Gelledee brings us a "twenty minuter to do" that looks minty (see what I did here?), is interesting to try and keeps you on your toes just the right amount. Shiny new Pioneers strolling around picturesque valleys of Mint will distract you - a lot - and that's a trap this map's creator wants you to walk into :) Don't forget about hyperloops, count your track tiles and you just might make it in time. Easy peasy lemon squeezy :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2404744784

This week's top level by @IxAriela is fast, elegant and not even that ruthless. Your goal is to smuggle 6 bars of gold through 3 corrupt customs stations. Paying off the officials and keeping your trains in check were mixed with that one component we praise in this issue. Simplicity is what gives this level it's undeniable flair and makes it so much fun. Congratulations @IxAriela!

Till next week, fellow train drivers. Spring has sprung and brought us new levels, new challenges and new beginnings.

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another one Let's Play Together in the middle of the week. This is an experimental competition. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation of people, but if everyone likes this LPT format, then we will extend this competition.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level and complete it with 5 stars. Have fun!

Weekly Winner - February 22


Hey there! As the end of February is pulling up, more challenging levels appear in our Workshop waiting to steal your sleep time. Who needs rest, we have trains to crash!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2401646050
A remarkable addition by @Kodama_Kohsawa already labeled as an "adequate complexity" level by the community. A hint in the map's name maybe? No idea to be honest with you :) Limited building space, movement direction restrictions and thoroughly designed traps for those of us that try taking things head on, customs stations and masterful seagull placement - what's the opposite of a milk run again?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2403245611
An avalanche hit the valley hard, cutting the power and blocking all communication - now it's up to you to restore what was lost and retake the place. Level created by @LittleBear presents you with precision building challenges as well as nudges you in all the wrong directions while being merciful enough to let you use the Pause button :)

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2392192178
This one looks pretty straightforward and chill, but that's a ruse! Your money pool is adjusted by evil genius TagTab in such a way that the moment you think you have some funds to upgrade your trains you suddenly don't anymore, and that power station tricky connection is just a single example of what this level will do to your brain.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2399675800
Creation of @Spons83 takes you back to the Breath Of The Wild days with that color palette and then yanks you back to the harsh reality of doing some real tough train logistics with a 141 rail tiles limit. All these bridges cost a couple of fortunes and the train wreck near the customs doesn't nake the situation any better, and that Restart button is only a temporary solution. Entertaining and diverse gameplay paired with neatly designed passageways and colourful looks - @Spons83 is this week's ultimate winner, and we bestow the man with a 10 Steam gift card. Superb work!

We will see each other next week, look at some brand new brainteasers and talk trains. Good luck!

Weekly Winner - February 16


Hello friends! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived at the Tuesday station. Today you will find a selection of various levels for every taste, even the most demanding ones. Yes, that means we're featuring @PureSativa's level. Lets go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2393896153
Is it easy to find your soul mate? To answer this question, @PureSativa created a real quest. He seems to have a clear opinion on this...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2389651094
Two hearts, one in the other. It will be really difficult to find a passage between them (it is at the top). As always, a good quick level by @Gelledee.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2395625379
A lot of stations, a lot of hyperloops. Pay attention to factories in remote areas. Try not to mix up the routes. Luckily, you can rebuild the rails as needed.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2391518206
It's not the first year that @unclekrusty has been making levels in honor of Lunar New Year. This time, he reflects on the importance of cows for neighboring India and China: in 2021, this animal is sacred to everyone.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2391548198
New puzzle by @thomas. Interesting routes await you here. Be careful with the junction near the glass factory, in case of a mistake you will not be able to delete the tracks. Great color scheme, @thomas!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2394150722
If you like levels that are not too short and have moderate difficulty, you will definitely like this map. Fast trains, lots of resources, a power station behind customs great composition and great gameplay.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384729361
Very nice level by @BlaiddL3g3nd. You have distant factories and you have to decide how exactly to build paths to them. You have more routes than you think at first! Superb gameplay and many ways to play. @BlaiddL3g3nd, we are happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

It was a good week! As usual, we are waiting for you at our regular extra Lets Play Together challenge today. See you, friends!

Weekly Winner - February 09


Hello everyone! A new issue of Choo-Choo Weekly is already here. All week we played new levels and chose the best ones for you. It's time to check out our list of favorites!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2387599369
A real hurricane passed on this map. There are piles of rubbish everywhere, and cleaning is quite expensive. Be careful when planning your budget.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2383104663
Are you experiencing deja vu? Yes, this is again the "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" level and no, these are the works of different authors, they are not related to each other. Just a good level by @Gelledee: fast trains, bridges, tunnels, and a moderate amount of resources.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2382379588
Small map with slow trains and offscreen stores. Workers will be sorely lacking, but keep in mind: help will come from outside!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2386079206
New work by @thomas. What if we add special mechanics to the old school level? There will be interesting gameplay! Deceiving simplicity of visual design and moderately difficult gameplay are the hallmarks of @thomas' levels.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2382923572
Large, challenging, and interesting map by @Spons83. Cities require not only resources but also passenger trains. Don't put off building a second station indefinitely. You have to find the optimal order of sending resources and colored trains. Interesting terrain and routes. Great level as always, @Spons83! A 10 Steam Gift Card is definitely yours.

Thats all for today! As always, we are waiting for you at our extra Lets play together challenge on Tuesday. See you, friends!

Level of the Month - January 2021


Hello! Just recently we celebrated the New Year and summed up the results of 2020, and now it's time to choose the best level of January 2021. Many excellent works appear in our workshop every week and we feel a great responsibility for choosing the best ones. We did not doubt the choice of the January level, however, despite this, we still have to clarify something.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2352108889
We know that some players consider rewarding this level to be not very fair to other creators. Indeed, this level was edited in a non-standard way: as you can see, here classic factories require different resources, and stations with workers are powered by electricity. The reason we consider this level to be competitive is that any author can make the same gameplay with publicly available tools in our level editor. This level has many advantages: it is multi-route, it can be passed in different ways, it is very interesting to study it. We played it many times and with every attempt, we found a new bridge or tunnel. @Gatebase, you did a great job! We are pleased to give you a 30 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Friends, each of you can make an unusual map for our workshop! Just try the level editor. We are waiting for your levels!

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived. There are many good levels in our workshop again. In addition, along with experienced creators, new names can be seen there. Well, let's not linger, let's take a look at the best works!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2375858425
Can you hack your way through the deep jungle? Fortunately, there is no limit on deleting trees and other things.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2375866353
A very deep level by @Gatebase. You will spend a lot of time on it and make many attempts. Difficult, unusual. This level will make you look at the game from a different angle. Excellent work.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2375498086
Debut work by @McGill. 2 shores, 2 cities. They need glass, metal and building materials.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2374379308
Does anyone need more sun in January? We seem to see a lot of raised hands! @thomas feels trends well and gives us this truly sunny map. Thank you @thomas!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2378150229
Another yellow map today. But this time gold is responsible for yellow - a lot of gold! @LittleBear made a very interesting landscape and set many restrictions. Embargo and one-way stations will force you to look for alternative routes, and you also need to make a lot of money. Great design, @LittleBear! A 10 Steam gift card is yours.

It seems that the first month of 2021 has already ended, which means that very soon you will find out which level was the best in January. Follow the news!

Hello friends! Another week has gone by, so it's time to tell you about the best levels. There were many long, simple, and unusual levels. Let's see four of them!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2370519565
It would be weird to run a conveyor belt for just one car. Therefore, you have to make a whole batch!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2368818773
This is a story about the union of light and darkness. Prepare complex potions to open customs. Do not forget to make all the necessary resources for the exchange in advance.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2372928148
A beautiful lake, expensive bridges and a lot of plastic.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2366972868
Small map by @Spons83. It's simple: a circular motion counterclockwise through many tunnels. You will have to cross 3 customs, but the return journey is very short and easy. Superb gameplay! @Spons83, a 10 Steam gift card is deservedly yours.

We are sure that @PureSativa's true fans (like our community manager) have long subscribed to him on Steam and will find out about his new levels without our short notes. By the way, there will be a very good map in the Let's play together today! See you at 17:30 UTC!

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly is here. Last week we finally summed up all the results of last year. On Saturday at our regular Let's play together challenge we have set a new record for the number of participants 136 people! Many long levels have appeared in our workshop some of them are really long. Well, let's see which ones get the "featured" mark.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2362514203
One of @PureSativa's most interesting classic levels from last week. Crumpled landscape with barely visible paths, many bridges and tunnels. We love that.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2362541461
New work by @thomas in the style of abstract art with an interesting puzzle. Be careful with one-way and other stations. Remember, there are more route options than you might think at first.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2363445195
A colorful map by @Gelledee. 4 zones, 4 hyperloops. Fast and not too difficult level.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2364111073
Have you missed the slow 2-car trains? @LittleBear invites you to the far wild west. You need livestock, wheat, and gold, of course. And you have a lot of colored trains! Great job @LittleBear! A 10 Steam gift card is yours.

Thats all for today! As always, we are waiting for you at our extra Lets play together challenge today. See you soon!

Level of the Year - 2020


Hello! As promised, we are in a hurry to sum up the incredible 2020. For many people this year was difficult, but we will say frankly our workshop, our contests in 2020 have only become better. People stayed at home and spent their free time in the level editor and our Let's play together challenges. By the request of the players, we made an additional LPT challenge in the middle of the week as a temporary feature for the period of self-isolation, but you know what? We don't even think about canceling it, because people continue to participate! About 75% of Friday's LPT players come to play extra LPT on Tuesday.

Over the past year, we have added many new objects and mechanics to the game. We have a unique situation: some mechanics are available only on custom maps in the workshop, they are not in the main campaign and DLC. Our players and level creators give us a lot of valuable tips and ideas, many of which we bring to life. We love and value our community very much.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2052886013
And we are happy to finally announce one of our longtime authors as the winner. @alphrost makes incredibly beautiful levels. He is very attentive to every detail: with decorative objects, he creates a realistic but more colorful world. A perfectly smooth fence around the livestock pen will rotate slightly just where the gate should be. Carefully adjusted balance, thoughtful routes and, of course, great gameplay. We are glad to see your every new work, @alphrost! And we are happy to give you a 50 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Friends, we are always waiting for your levels and we are glad to see you at our LPT challenges. Stay tuned!

Level of the Month - December 2020


Hello friends! The first half of January is over, and we are finally ready to tell you about the best level of December. It's never too late for good news! In December, we were waiting for a miracle and a festive mood as never before. And our workshop really became the source of the Christmas and New Year spirit. We have chosen a map that combines high-quality level design, beautiful art design and a very festive spirit.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2332385040
22 minutes, interesting landscape and an increasing pace of the game. Time will fly by and you will probably want to push the replay button to improve your result a little. Maestro @striker700 knows how to captivate the player! No wonder his level became the best last year.

Who will win this year? You will find out very soon! In the meantime, we are happy to give @striker700 a 30 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Weekly Winner - January 12


Hello! The past week has been rich with good levels and new names. We had to evaluate your works carefully and for a long time, and we are finally ready to provide the results.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2353768400
You will have to puzzle over how to optimally build the tracks because you only have one attempt.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2352944713
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2352945021
Two similar maps, but they differ like day and night, haha. Short, quick, good.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2354338183
You have a long way from mines to factories to get everything you need for an airplane and a car. The road to wood is surprisingly expensive.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2357595768
Beautiful map with fast trains and expensive fares. These water lilies are just wonderful.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2355410625
Saturated and moderately difficult level. You need a lot of money, a lot of bridges, and then even more money. Good job, @Spons83!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2352590949
Dare to start the industry in the deep jungle? You should clear the way through the tropical trees well. And yes, bridges will cost you a lot.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2350945464
A circular map with many resources. Good balance and routing.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2352108889
An excellent level with varied routes and unusual productions. Be careful, the usual factories require different resources! Very resourceful, @Gatebase! Be careful with your experiments. By the way, pay attention to the alchemic lab in the level editor. And your prize is a 10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

There are so many lovely levels! Well, after a while, you will surely meet some of them again in our regular Let's play together challenges. See you later!

Never before has the production of dynamite been so laborious.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2343681334
A beautiful and unusual level with revolutionary mechanics. We would call it the "gate of wealth".

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2342874376
A simple short map with one little twist: you can't use pause.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2339441140
Crazy routes and many tunnels. Your starting budget is pretty big, so you'll have a lot of fun.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2341051560
Try to build rails across the racing tracks. Hint: look for diagonal intersections.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2342212165

Hello friends! This is the latest edition of Choo-Choo Weekly in this crazy 2020. Many good levels were uploaded to our workshop last week, and the best ones are beautiful, snowy and festive. Let's see them!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2337215688
How about hot Africa in the middle of the winter? Lots of hyperloops, unusual routes, dunes and colored trains.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2329717110
@thomas sums up the year and thanks everyone for their levels. And we are grateful for his works! Thank you @thomas, we'd love to see more of your maps!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2332571034
Lockdown Christmas by @Gelledee. You need to build several passages through the wall in order to stock up on everything you need for the holiday. It seems that somewhere it already happened

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2332344142
Of course, Christmas needs presents, decorations, sweets... But what about sleighs? Someone has to take care of that too!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2330769475
Moderately hard 25 minute Christmas level. There are a wide range of restrictions here: one-way, toll and embargo stations. Try not to destroy anything.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2332385040
Beautiful, challenging and interesting level - we usually say that about @striker700's works. Once again, he is increasing his skill level, so first place is the least we can do for this map.

We remind you that our Let's Play Together challenges continue! We are waiting for you on Tuesday and Friday. See you!

Weekly Winner - December 08


Hello! Another issue of Choo-Choo Weekly is finally here. We took a close look at all the levels that appeared in the workshop last week. We have 2 debutants at once, we are very happy! And we are glad to see our honored authors who find more and more new ideas for their levels. Lets see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2308496403
New relaxing map by @Gelledee. Do you like fast trains? Don't like too complex production chains? Do you just want to relax for a while in the evening after a hard day? Then this is the level for you.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2307290685
@AwR1990V2's debut level. Long distances, not too fast trains, sandpits - this is downright old school! Try to get to the sawmill in the mountains as soon as possible. Yes, you need exactly that tunnel. Great job, @AwR1990V2!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2308584132
@thomas lures us onto his map with its seeming simplicity. And we are happy to fall into this trap again and again, haha! Of course, the level is more tricky than it seems at first. But we assure you, everyone can handle it! An unusual and pleasant map.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2309972325
@LittleBear invites you to her new bar. The concept of this establishment is quite original: you prepare cocktails yourself and add them to the common cauldron. Would you like to try this punch?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2311191092
This is @'s debut level. Very classic and well done, it will help you remember the traditional Train Valley 2. There are a lot of resources here, so it will keep you busy for a while. We will be waiting for your new levels, @!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2310417635
Captivating story by @sabrinalynn23. For Falconer Village, this year was extremely hard: in addition to the well-known difficulties, there was a storm here. Numerous destructions have completely devastated the treasury and the celebration of Christmas is at stake. The inhabitants are desperate. Will you be able to walk past such a tragedy? Then save Christmas! By the way, you can still get some benefit from the destroyed infrastructure. Great job, @sabrinalynn23! Your 10 Steam gift card is waiting for you under the tree.

We are already starting to play new levels that have appeared this week. This means that in the next issue of Choo-Choo Weekly there will again be many interesting works! See you soon, friends!

Level of the Month - November 2020


Hello everyone! This weird crazy year is coming to an end and we sum up the results of the month for the penultimate time (in fact, the last one, because we will sum up the results of December in January). The November workshop distinguished itself by a collection of high-quality levels: almost all maps are very well designed. We've featured 22 of 24 levels! We're thrilled to bring you the best one of these awesome 24.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280323403
A dynamic level with fast trains and a round route. In fact, if you want to fulfill all the conditions of the level, this route will not be round, you will have to choose which path all your trains will take. We have played this level many times and every time it is interesting and exciting. Great stat for a triumphant, right? @Spons83 receives a 30 Steam gift card and congratulations from us.

In December, we expect a large influx of levels with a winter and Christmas theme. For the third year now, these are special maps filled with warmth, coziness, and celebration. We love our authors and are always waiting for debutants. See you in the workshop, friends! Choo-Choo!

Weekly Winner - December 01


Hello friends! Our Choo-Choo Weekly has brought you a new selection of the best levels of the week. Today we again have many levels and in our hearts, they all occupy the first place. This is our habitual suffering, is it even worth mentioning? We'd better get you acquainted with these wonderful new maps as soon as possible.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2299904581
Is it possible not to love cats? Unlikely, so this new map by @Gelledee is automatically sent to the Featured. Jokes aside, it's really nice and relaxing. Well, it's like petting a cat.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2297015556
Now let's go to Mexico. @Spons83 has created a dizzying landscape and you will have to build a lot of bridges and tunnels. Which factories are waiting for you? Sand, a lot of sand in the sandy mountains (who would have thought), and also engineers and books for them. But we understand that no matter how many books you give them, "all they do crumbles to the ground" and turns into sand, right?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2296411203
@Itsumi-chan's new work with three customs. Yes, there are 3 of them, and yes, to open the second one, you will have to first open the first and so on. If this does not scare you, then you will like the level: it is unusual, moderately difficult and dynamic.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2302020257
Another amazing piece by @Spons83. Someone has lost the keys to the kingdom! To find them, you need to bring grain, wood, livestock, and gold. Looks like good supplies for the winter. Maybe the key to the kingdom is the well-being of its inhabitants? That would be just wonderful!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2302077573
Can you already feel the approach of Christmas? @LittleBear invites us to start preparing for this long-awaited holiday. Christmas trees, toys, gifts, and chocolate a lot of chocolate! It will probably take you some time to figure out how to connect all the factories with tracks. We recommend you to make a detour behind the chocolate store in order to lengthen the journey for these trains a little after there is enough chocolate. Great job @LittleBear! A 10 Steam gift card is yours.

You just read about 5 awesome levels, congratulations! Don't forget to take part in our little Lets play together in the middle of the week. And very soon we will name the best level for November. Spoiler alert: it's incredible. Stay tuned!

Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation of people, but if everyone likes this LPT format, then we will extend this competition.

Weekly Winner - November 23


Hello! November is coming to an end, and soon this crazy year will also end. This week we have 2 maps about the colonization of celestial bodies it seems that people are seriously thinking about resettlement from this planet! But let's not dramatize. Next week, our authors will probably look into the "Christmas" folder in the level editor and give us a lot of holiday maps. For now, let's see what's new in our workshop!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2293914036
Provide basic resources for the lunar colony. Perhaps more complex things will be easier to deliver from Earth. After all, the Moon is not that far just a suburb.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2295654868
A complex map by @LittleBear. You need to find the optimal and not too expensive way to the island in the middle of the map. It will be quite a long 20 minutes. Good luck!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2295576717
New work by @thomas. Choose the best way to get gold and copper ingots, as well as the best way to deliver resources to distant factories. And don't forget about 5 erroneous deliveries! As always, an interesting and unusual map.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2293412095
Colonizing Mars is hardly an easy task for anyone. In this regard, this level is very realistic! There are many route puzzles to solve. It will be quite difficult to avoid train crashes. You will find this level in the Featured to return to it for new attempts. Great job @Gaztibelza!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2293191343
A little challenge by @Gelledee on a bright blue lake. You need to make holiday decorations and gifts before the ice covers everything around! Fortunately, you have reasonably fast trains at your disposal.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2294622654
Have you already beat the covid? If not, then you can train in the level by @sabrinalynn23. You have to make a lot of paper, boards, and airplanes. Probably, we all don't need planes now, but on this map, we recommend that you start with them. We wish everyone good antibodies, and we give @sabrinalynn23 a 10 Steam gift card.

Thats all! As usual, we are waiting for you in our weekly challenges. See you soon!

Weekly Winner - November 17


Hello! Another week flew by, so we want to tell you about the good maps it brought to us. There were five amazing works and all of them deserve first place. But rules are rules, we must talk about them in turn. Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2287780491
An unusual level where all resources are created without workers. There will be some very strange cows here! Great debut, @TagTab.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2286989557
At first glance, this is a very simple and uncomplicated level. But this is very far from the truth! Some stations and factories are isolated from the main routes, although they are in plain sight. You even have to use a hyperloop. @thomas has been making levels for a long time and over time we began to consider him a master of puzzles. Do you agree?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2285140145
The chronicle of modernity: we all work and study remotely in Zoom, we need computers, routers, and books. Offline life continues no matter what, but online life has become very important. You have fast trains to get the job done quickly. Don't build too many tunnels.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2288489217
A new level by @Spons83 with a dizzying landscape. @Spons83's maps are a godsend for those for whom @PureSativa's maps were too complex or too long. Interesting, moderately difficult, beautiful this is a distinctive feature of @Spons83's levels. At this level, you will have to work hard to unlock the industrial area in the upper right corner. Be careful: make sure you have enough money to transport the steel plates to the cannery. You will want to play this level a few times, so we'll keep it in the Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2287209477
New industrial and at the same time fabulous landscape by @LittleBear. On the water, in tunnels, under a waterfall your trains can go anywhere. It is a beautiful map with many routes and solutions. We advise you to focus on engineers at the beginning of the level, this will give you a financial boost for the further game. Wonderful job, @LittleBear! A 10 Steam Gift Card is deservedly yours.

It was a great week! See you later, friends.

Weekly Winner - November 10


Hello friends! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived. As usual, it brought along a few cars of excellent maps, and we are happy to tell you about them. Let's start!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2279970605
Welcome to Peninsula Valdes! Two small bays are separated by a narrow strip of land. In some places, only one train can pass at the same time. You definitely need to keep this in mind in order to complete the level in 8 minutes! Great map, @LittleBear.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2275564292
Map by @Spons83 with a very interesting relief. The task is quite simple: you need to make a lot of gold and copper ingots. Also, you need to make several bonds as a bonus. The tunnel will really make the game easier for you.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2277326449
Halloween is over, but it's never too late for some good Halloween maps! This map by @Itsumi-chan is quite difficult and long, so some players will only complete it in time for next Halloween (we will definitely be among them). All jokes aside, this work is striking in its scale: there is a completely insane relief, elevation differences, hyperloops, many bridges. And those fiery orange pumpkins and lava! Very beautiful and very attractive. Fantastic job, @Itsumi-chan! Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2275362467
New work by @Gelledee. It's time to get ready for winter! Harvest your crops and don't cut down a single tree. Plus, you'll need interesting books and candy for those long, dark evenings. Fast trains, colorful decorations you will definitely love this map!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2280323403
Another work by @Spons83 is at the top today. This time you find yourself on the ice. You have to make a lot of planes. We advise you to rely on engineers. There are many interesting routes you can build here, but be careful you only have 164 track tiles available, including bridges. Great design, @Spons83! A 10 Steam gift card is definitely yours.

Do you feel the spirit of Christmas? Will it bring something exciting? Who knows... See you.

Weekly Winner - November 03


Hello! As promised, we have summed up the results of the October Special contest, but only now we are naming the winners of the last week of October. Rest assured, we reviewed all the levels that were uploaded to the workshop before the deadline. Let's see the best works of the past week!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2272631374
Slow level with long distances. Early Train Valley 2 style.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2269550373
A level where you need to be very careful not to accidentally remove trees or mushrooms.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2272354146
Three-tier map. A small isolated valley in the middle, surrounded by a ring of colored train lines, and a large outer ring that links potion factories. A good map for leisurely evenings.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2268601741
Colorful and unusual map by @thomas. In the beginning, you get energy from three ingredients colored trains. But you also have an alternative energy source. You can keep the customs open, or you can go the other way - try to find them all. Making canned food will be quite difficult :) Nevertheless, you will surely like this level. Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2274765551
This level was published after the end of the submission of works for the Halloween's contest. One could regret this, but we will not, because our contests never end and it is never too late to celebrate a good work. This is @KamikazeBee's debut level and it is just great: moderately difficult, multi-route, with interesting terrain. @KamikazeBee, we are glad to give you a Steam gift card and we are waiting for your new works!

It seems like for a long time we haven't reminded you how much we love our authors. We admire their limitless imagination. Our workshop has existed for almost 1.5 years, there are 1200 maps and we still find fresh ideas in the user levels. Open the workshop and see for yourself! Stay tuned.

Level of the Month - October 2020 and special contest winners


Hello friends! It's Halloween Eve, which means it's time to sum up the October Special Level Design Contest. Our workshop has 32 levels with a new type of factory - an alchemy laboratory, and 17 more excellent levels without a lab. We had great fun playing these levels! Now it's time to name the top three maps.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2248429753
One of the first levels this month, where the essence of the new mechanics is best shown. One potion, then another from it, and so on. Pure alchemy! Nice route network, well thought out scenario. Thanks for the interesting level, Mr. @...Dudley! A 10 Steam gift card is deservedly yours.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2260660830
A level that drives you a little crazy at first, but in the end you love it. Lots of chocolate, pumpkins, and weird candies. You would hardly want to read their ingredients. But the most troubling question here is which of these corridors to choose for transit? You have time to think. We're happy to give @LittleBear a 20 Steam gift card.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2267634164
This amazing level by @striker700 is on the top today. We assure you that if you were to remove all the decorations from this map, you would be left with great gameplay that you would enjoy even without all that beauty. An interesting idea, good balance, and @striker700's signature trick at the very beginning quick money. We thank @striker700 for this level and present him with a 30 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

It was a great October! Friends, our traditional level design contest continues. Every week we select the best levels, and at the end of the month, we select the best of the best. We also host a Let's Play Together competition twice a week (1 and 2). Join us!

Weekly Winner - October 27


Hello everyone! The last week of our Special October Level Design Contest has begun. We can already say with confidence that the competition turned out excellent! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's take a look at what's in our workshop last week!

Several great levels:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262823211
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2267342408
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2266876175

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262844743
A spooky level with potions, spiders and bats. This is where you'll have to show real mastery of workers flow management! And be careful not to let the 6-car trains leave the station on the left. Perhaps this is by design...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2267565606
A new level by @Gelledee, where you have to be very careful: try not to touch a single particle of the ghosts! Your trains should be careful to avoid them. Make potions, pumpkins and sweets. After all, what else is needed for a good holiday?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2267634164
Maestro @striker700 is here! Potions, pumpkins, sweets, and a couple of cute animals. But the most important thing is those 180 workers. You must take care of them because you have no more. Each of them must do their job in their place. We advise you to start with gold jewelry, then things will go much faster. This is a very beautiful level, which is much easier to play than it seems at first glance. Thanks for the map, @striker700! We are happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card.

This Saturday, October 31st, we will announce the winners. Friends, you can still hop into the last cars of our train! Choo-choo!

New family story by @gayetemp. Make a lot of glasses in four factories and find a capybara.

A stunningly beautiful level with an eerie cliff and many traps. Be sure to read the description.

The dizzying mountainous ways and passenger transportation around the perimeter of the map.

@Gelledee prepares a set menu. Look at this balanced diet: beef, spiders, bats, whole grains, and sweet pumpkin. Yummy! Yes, we advise you to open customs before figuring out where all these hyperloops lead.

3 cities are located among green meadows, and on the other side of the river, there is a huge ice mountain, where preparations for Christmas are in full swing. Wait, is this still for Halloween? You should find out for sure, so head up the mountain along that path on the right. Or maybe along the one on the left, but it's better not along both at the same time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2260660830
Absolutely insane level by @LittleBear. We advise you to get a good night's sleep and have a couple of litres cups of coffee before opening it. There are many routes, but not all of them duplicate each other, be careful. It seems that the hyperloop in this case is a life-saving capsule, but it looks like there is no exit on the other side. This is a truly fascinating map. A 10 Steam gift card goes to @LittleBear. Congratulations!

It was another busy competition week. We are waiting for your new works, friends! We remind you that we will announce the winner on Halloween Eve, October 31st. You still have time to make a couple of awesome levels! See you.

Update #33 - Bugs Fixed

Hello friends! We hope you've seen our big update and new Alchemy Lab by now. We've made another update. Now there will be fewer bugs.

[h3]What is fixed?[/h3]


  • Now colored trains can be resources. They can be assigned to the market, store, harbors, and Alchemy Lab.
  • If earlier the required resource for the city had to be indicated in the first line of quests, now it is not necessary. If out of the three selected resources you decide to leave only the second or third, then it is enough to put zero opposite the first.
  • Incorrect joining of two bridges on the same cell.
  • Incorrect branching of the end track tile at the customs.


As usual, we appreciate your feedback and bug reports. See you, friends!

Level of the Month - September 2020


Hello! It's been 2 weeks since the last update was released and our October Special Level Design Contest started. The dust settled, we looked around and found that we had a big debt. We haven't named the Septembers winner! We are urgently fixing it.

We have carefully considered our decision and are ready to make it. We sincerely congratulate @thomas your submarine is riding high today, haha!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2219897841
This level organically combines the embargo stations and the toll station, and there are also interesting routes with a tunnel and many bridges. By the way, if you don't just delete that cobblestone near the station in the upper right corner, but build tracks through it, you will get an additional $8k. @thomas, you did a great job, a 30 Steam gift card is yours.

Friends, our October contest is in full swing! There are already a lot of amazing maps with Alchemy Lab in the workshop. On October 31st, we will name the 3 best ones. Stay tuned!

Weekly Winner - October 13


Hello friends! Choo-Choo Weekly is here again. We continue to find new levels in the workshop. They are awesome! Classic ones and the ones with new mechanics, simple and difficult, there are new works for every taste. Most of these new levels you will find in the Featured tab. Below we will list them and dwell in a little more detail on the top three.

Maestro @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley arranges mysterious rituals. You must deliver resources through a dangerous gorge, but first you need to clear a path. For pumpkins, much more workers are needed, and energy is obtained from spiders.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2251078580
New work by @Gelledee. Interesting routes and fast trains and, of course, cute bats. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and see the cars with these cute creatures.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2252972954
And this is a very green map. Seriously, everything is green here. It relaxes and lulls you with its soft green water. But this map comes first not only for that, but for its excellent gameplay. You have 10 minutes to solve this puzzle, and you also cannot delete tracks. And best of all, you can finally make a Christmas tree from resources! @thomas, you have made an excellent level and we are happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card.

As usual, we are waiting for you at the next extra Lets play together challenge on Tuesday, as well as on Friday at the traditional Lets play together with prizes. Speaking of prizes, last week a fifth champion appeared in our cozy community a player who collected a complete collection of our cards. Congratulations Nomiswelt! Just imagine, 5 people have collected 26 cards. These are incredible people, we admire them. Come to our Discord server and you will see everything with your own eyes. See you friends!

Weekly Winner - October 07


Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly is a little late because it has a lot of cars today. We think you enjoyed our big update because soon after the release we discovered a lot of interesting levels in the workshop! Our authors are clearly in a festive mood: just read the descriptions of the levels, there are songs and poems! Incredibly talented people. Well, let's take a look at all these wonderful works!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2242419845
Fall preparations are in full swing with pumpkins all around us, but @dickeyj2316 reminds us that just recently it was summer and hiking. This is how many people have spent their holidays this year, and it looks like hiking will once again become a popular form of tourism. Well, you can take another 9-minute vacation on @dickeyj2316's map.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2245261598
Spooky Hexagon! In the description of the level, @BenGotham gives you clear instructions on how to play. 6 potions, bats, spiders, and colorful pumpkins. Everything is exactly according to the recipe!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2245923965
A new level by Master @Gelledee. There are 3 large cauldrons and a lot of pumpkins and mushrooms. You probably like it now!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2248241760
Beautiful level with the Passenger Flow mechanics by @Spons83. You have 50 trains in line and a large circular railroad for them. Enjoy the views from the window!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2246346445
Free up some of your time in the evening to head to the construction site! The airport by @LittleBear is waiting for you there. It needs: building materials, machines, engineers, and fuel. You have 25 minutes!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2246119997
Interesting puzzle by @Itsumi-chan. You will have to figure out how to lay the tracks optimally the first time because you are not allowed to delete them. You will need a lot of sand, coils, and engineers. All this fuss is fueled by two ticking bombs - but don't worry too much, you have time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2248311768
@LittleBear invites you to descend into the dungeons in order to make many different potions. There are 2 entrances to the dungeons, and you also have to build several bridges and figure out how to distribute traffic flows on the narrow coast.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2247192403
@thomas made a very unusual level with new factories and resources. Instead of workers, you will have real zombies - people received as a result of the action of the electric current from a nuclear power plant. Sounds impressive, doesn't it? You also have weird chocolate and an inexhaustible supply of pumpkins. Great job, @thomas!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2248429753
And finally, real alchemy by @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley. A city with a stack of required resources is like a double-bottom box. I will say right away: a lot of bats and spiders are required there. You have to make a real dark spellbook! To do this, you need to go through a long production chain: make one potion, another one from it, and so on. Interesting idea, good balance and freshness! Mr. Dudley, a 10 Steam gift card is deservedly yours.

It was a dizzying week and it is already becoming clear that the next one will be no worse! We are waiting for your levels, friends. See you!

Hello friends! Six months have passed since the last major innovation in our game. Isn't it the time for us to give you something new? We believe the time has come! In the October update, you will find new objects in the level editor: a new section with Halloween objects, new resources, a new harbor design, and also our main novelty the Alchemical Lab!

This is a new type of factory for which you can set all the parameters yourself. You can select up to 5 different required resources and define any end product. Why not make a yellow potion from pumpkin, gold ore, glass, dynamite and old tire in a witch's cauldron? Easy! Your experiments can go as far as you want.

[h3]What is new?[/h3]


  • Alchemical Lab object in Level Editor.
  • New resources: Bat, Spider, Pumpkin and six Potions. You can use them in Harbors, Market and Store, as usual.
  • New special Harbor Old design Harbor Halloween.
  • 42 new Halloween objects.

Weekly Winner - September 29


Hello everyone! The past week has not brought too many new levels, but Choo-Choo Weekly still has to tell you something. Yes, there is only one level here! However, this debut work by @Jasan Quinn definitely deserves your attention.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2237755885
There is a port city and a small town in an isolated valley nearby. The challenge is simple: produce a lot of grain, cattle and canned food to feed both settlements! The playing time is about 15-25 minutes, you will have to build a tunnel and a bridge (or you can do without a bridge). Find the optimal order for sending resources and get all the stars. Great debut, @Jasan Quinn! We are happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

As usual, we are waiting for you at our Let's play together challenges. Friends, the start of our October special contest may be delayed for reasons beyond our control. We will definitely keep you informed and will not let you miss this big event. Stay tuned!

Weekly Winner - September 21


Hello, friends! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived. There is just over a week left before the October Special Level Design Contest starts, and we have already prepared everything for it! We can't wait to see your levels with all the new features of the future update... But no spoilers! Let's see what our workshop is rich with after last week.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2230781709
@Lasse's debut level. Simple terrain, not too many decorations and obstacles... However, despite its obvious simplicity, this level is pleasant to play. If you are not a fan of challenging levels like this and this one, you will definitely like it. Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2233893074
Our regular community member @Zdenek has updated his old level. This map was made more than two years ago and many probably don't remember it anymore. So it can be considered new! @Zdenek expects that one day this map will be used for our traditional Let's play together challenges and who knows, maybe this will happen one day

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2230945051
Today's winner is a level from our other longtime author. @unclekrusty started making maps when we first launched our workshop. And we are glad to see his new works today! This level touched our hearts: it is dedicated to the 5th anniversary of the release of the first Train Valley. This game has found a place in the hearts of many people, it has many fans. For some, it marks a special period in life, and some people, thanks to it and a couple of random events, found a new profession (like the author of these lines, haha). Sentiments aside, this level has good gameplay. And have you seen this gorgeous cake? It is impossible to resist! @unclekrusty, thanks for your work, we are incredibly moved and happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card.

Thats all for today. We are going to prepare announcements and write the rules of the new contest. Follow the news!

Weekly Winner - September 14


Hello! September has already approached its equator. In the meantime, our authors seem to be gathering strength for the October special level design contest. Anyway, we think so because last week there were only 2 levels in the workshop. However, it was difficult for us to choose the best one!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2227216725
Winter is coming to the forest kingdom and we need to prepare supplies. This is unusual, but mainly gold and its products will warm people this winter. Well, there must be some magic involved! Otherwise, why do they need these devices, glass, and sand?.. Thanks for this interesting map with many bridges, @LittleBear!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2222560277
Today's favorite is an unusual level by @Itsumi-chan, which you will surely play more than once. Briefing: no pause, no train stops, 3 slow locomotives. In such conditions, you have to find the best routes and intelligently distribute the delivery of all resources. You have 15 minutes, but this map will surely take you at least half the evening. Whatever it is, it's worth it! Great puzzle, @Itsumi-chan, we are pleased to give you a 10 Steam gift card.

That's all! As usual, we are waiting for you in our traditional Let's play together competitions. Stay tuned!

Hello friends! Due to the fact that many people are now forced to be at home in quarantine, we decided to add another one Let's Play Together in the middle of the week. This is an experimental competition. There can be different crazy levels. There will be no prizes. Perhaps this will last only for the period of forced isolation of people, but if everyone likes this LPT format, then we will extend this competition.

The rules are the same: log in to our Discord server, keep it running, play a competitive level and complete it with 5 stars. Have fun!
You can get more details on our Discord server (#lets-play-together channel).

A level we are playing this week:

Just open the game - it should be highlighted in the main menu.
Good luck everyone!

Weekly Winner - September 07


Hello friends! One more week is behind us and we are ready to tell you about the best works of the beginning of September. Our selection today has levels for every taste: short and long, simple and difficult. Let's see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2219148794
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2222314589
Did @gayetemp's mom know she would make a big contribution to our level collection? Unlikely, however, we see more and more new stories about her and about the old cities of the United Kingdom. @gayetemp made a new map and told another great story about his homeland. This is not the easiest level: in one version, you cannot use pause, in another, you cannot stop trains. We couldn't decide which is better, so you'll find both of these in the Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2220551456
A small puzzle by @LittleBear. You have pieces of this puzzle sand islands, and you need to connect them so that all colored passenger trains can reach any station. No wrong deliveries! A beautiful and warm level for these cool autumn days.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2217710448
Maestro @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley is here again! We missed you. And we're sure you, too, have missed his long levels, which are so appropriate for dark evenings. (Okay, this noir is more for the northern hemisphere.) This is the classic one-hour level of Mr. Dudley: you have multiple functional areas, you start with the production of primary resources and gradually move further and further. Don't be intimidated by the toll stations you can definitely afford it.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2219897841
And here is the best level of the week. @thomas recalls Mr. Dudley's long-standing trick: you have no start-up capital, you have to sell some property to build the first stretch of tracks. Here it is implemented gracefully, you do not have to look for random items, just start building tracks and you will have money. Apart from that, this level has excellent gameplay. There is a choice, there are limitations, there is a strict timing that forces you to look for optimal ways. Great job, @thomas! A 10 Steam gift card is deservedly yours.

It's been a great week! We have already started preparing the October special contest. Until then, we keep the same schedule: extra Lets play together challenge on Tuesday and main Lets play together challenge on Friday. See you, friends!

Level of the Month - August 2020


Hello everyone! Another month passed and we again chose the best level. In July, we held a special contest under the Minimalism motto: we demanded the authors to make simple levels no more than 10 minutes long. We expected people to miss the long levels after that and the levels would last an average of 30 minutes throughout August :) However, in the workshop we continue to find short levels with excellent gameplay and laconic decoration. Did you like them too? Today we will present to you the winner of August and this is exactly that level.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2194199930
Dried contaminated land, industrial enterprises are chaotically spread over it. But once you start laying out tracks, you will discover how many moves you can make on this map. There are a lot of challenges for the player here: you cannot upgrade trains and you have to decide how to allocate the unusual amount of resources. This is a very laconic and at the same time deeply thought-out work. Congratulations @embRellish! We are happy to give you a 30 Steam gift card.

We are already planning a special design contest in October. Maybe you have ideas about it? We'd love to see your suggestions in the comments!

Weekly Winner - August 31


Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived again. It seems that summer has started quite recently, but today it ends. Therefore, we are in a hurry to tell you about the best works in our workshop over the past week, so that you can enjoy your first autumn evenings this year.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2209430330
A slightly insane level by @Itsumi-chan that you are unlikely to complete on the first try. Also, we do not guarantee you that your second attempt will be successful too. It will also be quite difficult for you to figure out how to complete this level if you do not read the description. Well, we'll help you a little: see that park block, which requires 999 units of dynamite? Before the last train with resources enters the depot, remove this park. Done, you are a winner. You will find this unusual and challenging level in the Featured to come back to it again and again.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2209069157
@gayetemp invites you on a journey through Wales in the mid-20th century (presumably). On the way, you will see everything: beautiful nature, many animals, castles and narrow roads without the possibility of turning. You will have to understand the complex system of tracks and in no way damage anything: the beauty of Wales must remain intact. Brew a large teapot, as this is a very large and deeply detailed map that will take you all evening. Thanks for the tour, @gayetemp!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2208621164
Small map with roundabout traffic. This is where you have to puzzle over how to connect the sand quarry to the main road, but this problem has a solution. Well balanced level lasting 14 minutes. Great job, @embRellish! A 10 Steam gift card is yours.

Very soon we will choose the best level of August, but first we need to prepare another extra Lets play together challenge for you. Stay tuned, friends!

Weekly Winner - August 24


Hello! Another good week is behind us and again we are in a hurry to tell you about the most interesting levels from our workshop. We have new authors, and we are very happy about that. Let's see what debutants and experienced level designers prepared for us!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2206115395
Is this a Train Valley map? This is a map of the world! Small level with continents and trains, and the main resource is plastic. You only have 5 minutes, hurry up. Great job, @sabrinalynn23! Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2203299591
Do you miss the old games? Where the player has to hone their skills for a long time and diligently so as not to fail in the first 30 seconds. Meet the Retro Game by @gayetemp! You cannot stop trains and build tracks, you have to study all switches carefully to avoid accidents. It looks like this level needs a large quick-access "restart" button.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2207020315
Perfectly balanced level by @LittleBear. A large map with complex resources, however, it is played quite quickly - you only have 10 minutes. 4 cities, harbors with expensive resources, and an interesting landscape with the clever use of embargo and toll stations. You may not be able to do it in under 10 minutes on the first try, but you will surely want to come back to this level again and again. We are pleased to present @LittleBear with a 10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Levels last week were so different and unusual! We are waiting for your new work, friends. We are sure that every player should try to make a level. You will definitely succeed, go for it!

Hello friends! Another issue of Choo-Choo Weekly is here. Many interesting levels continue to appear in our workshop and we, as always, are glad to tell you about the brightest ones. Completing the levels from our today selection will take you a lot of time, so free up your evening. Lets see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2198579005
A gloomy place among ruins, a cemetery, and a dump of rusty trains. You have slow trains, you need wood and sand. A simple good map in case you don't have too much free time. Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2199993895
Incredible work by @Itsumi-chan. The whole world on one map! Stories about Atlantis have long amazed the minds of many people and now it's your turn. Finding all the paths will take you a little less time than finding Atlantis itself. Important: ensure communication between colored stations first, because their schedule is very tight. And it is they who will give you money for all the necessary bridges and tunnels. A very large scale level for a long evening. Thank you @Itsumi-chan!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2194199930
And here you will find an industrial desert. Try not to touch these waste piles, they must be collected by another recycling company. You need to make some wood from these dry trunks and also recycle some of the plastic to get some crates. Very interesting routing and great gameplay. @embRellish, today a 10 Steam gift card is yours!

It was a good week and, as always, we are waiting for you on our traditional extra Lets play together challenge on Tuesday. See you, friends!

Weekly Winner - August 10


Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly has arrived. Last week was a little lazy: the authors gave their best in July and now our workshop is quiet. We are also resting after such a hot contest. Today we will tell you about three good levels that appeared in the last 7 days.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2188820970
A big complex map for those who are tired of small and simple ones. There are tracks for colored trains along the perimeter, and you will have to start there to earn a starting budget. Then you take over resources. There are markets, many bridges and tunnels. This is a good level for a leisurely evening. Thanks for your work, @angryxpeh!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2186057757
A level with many islands and a circular route. Workers spawn rather slowly, so you will have time to distribute their flows. The cute and enjoyable level - it's @Spons83's debut. Great start! You will find it in the Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2192463420
Nice level with interesting gameplay. Three cities, few resources, different routes. You can distribute workers to factories in different ways, you can build isolated branches of paths - in general, this level gives you a lot of freedom of action. Great job @LittleBear! We are happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card.

We hope you enjoyed these slow relaxing maps. We are waiting for you on our regular extra LPT on Tuesday. See you, friends!

Level of the Month - July 2020 and special contest winners


Hello friends! July special design contest has ended and its time to name the winners. We want to remind you of the main conditions of this contest: levels should be short (up to 10 minutes) and they should be minimalistic. This is a broad definition and everyone can understand it differently. We expected to see levels with minimalistic art designs, or levels with simple gameplay, or a small variety of resources. Or all of these things at the same time. Anyway, over the past month, we have discovered many forms of minimalism from our authors and we are happy to see so many beautiful works in the workshop. Now we have to do the hardest thing - choose the best maps!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2178618332
Small map with many power plants. The focus of the game is shifted from resource extraction to energy extraction (which also requires resources, however). Nice simple art design and unusual gameplay. @Phil., we're happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card for your debut work! Congratulations!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2167199149
Colorblock-styled map by our LPT Champion @stev1eb. Excellent gameplay, interesting boost at the beginning of the game. There are opportunities to optimize the speed of walkthrough of the level. It looks like @stev1eb hasn't received any prizes in a while - hopefully a 20 Steam gift card will fix that.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2181619645
The undisputed winner of the past month. This level has it all: simple and elegant art, storyline, few resources, and many ways to optimize. In addition, this map has excellent timing. This level is like a well-cooked dish with the perfect balance of salt, sugar and acid. Congratulations, @YaroslavTV, today you are the chef! A 30 Steam gift card is yours!

It was a great month and a great contest! We are sure that such unusual conditions made authors look at the creation of levels differently. Our traditional design contest continues, we are waiting for your new levels, friends. See you!

Weekly Winner - August 03


Hello everyone! Our special July Level Design Contest ended last week. In recent days, a lot of impressive works have been uploaded to our workshop. The latest issue of Train Valley Time will be released very soon, and now it is the time to sum up the last week. Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2180807293
The second work of last week's debutant @embRellish. Interesting map with variable routes. Be careful, trains with the bears are very fast!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2179406469
New level by @Gelledee with many bridges and tunnels. Don't waste money on trains - new colored stations are constantly appearing here and they will require bridges.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2180797889
Hot sandy map by Maestro @h2onik. Fast train updates, lots of gold and oil, and a good balance of toll and one-way stations. Great level!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2182821168
Large-scale work by Maestro @striker700. The author invites the player to figure out priorities and this really makes the map very versatile. You have several zones and directions, you can act on your own, and in any way you choose you will come to success. Very beautiful map. It's pleasant to dive into its gameplay and to study it over and over again. You will find it in the Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2181568294
@embRellish keeps making levels and every new one gets better! Another short level: there are colored stations and factories. But the central place on the map is occupied by two bridges with toll stations and customs. They are symmetrical, try not to mix them up. Good gameplay, this level goes to the Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2179778263
Another level by @striker700. As usual, it is very beautiful - even if @striker700's levels are too difficult for you, you can just enjoy their looks. This map is pretty simple and short: you have 3 stores with basic materials and workers, you have to carefully guide this flow. You need to build a bridge in time for the trains to go to the upper steel factory, and then to the cliff. So dramatic!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2181619645
And this is the best level of the week! It has a very good balance and design. Minimalistic art, not too many resources, good timing. You can play this level using different routes and look for the most optimal one. Great job, @YaroslavTV! A 10 Steam gift card is yours!

It was a great week with fantastic levels. As usual, we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday on our traditional extra LPT. We will publish the results of the special contest very soon. See you later, friends!

Weekly Winner - July 27


Hello! This is the Choo-Choo Weekly with a lot of excellent levels. The last week of our July level design contest has begun. Excitement is at fever pitch! We remind you that simple levels with a duration of no more than 10 minutes are eligible for victory. Levels are shorter, our newspaper is longer. Let's take a look at the new list of talented works!

@BenGotham made two parts of an unusual level featuring a huge pile of waste. An interesting idea gave rise to unusual gameplay: you cannot switch hidden arrows, resources will go to the station from which the last train with workers arrived. Excellent!

A cute level by @h2onik about creatures looking for something new and better. As we all do. There are many tunnels there.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2174706839
@fuegodemalo's debut level. Engineers are stuck among the cliffs. Meanwhile, the magma level rises. You have to build an elevator faster. Remember: the floor is magma!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2172533344
Very beautiful map from Romania. You must solve the riddle and find out how to open the chest with endless supplies of gold. Then you have to deliver sacrifices and wealth to That Castle on top of the rock. At every step, rustling black wings chase you and you cannot stop for a second: no pause, no train stops! The paths are winding and it seems that danger awaits you around every corner. Great job, @Spider [RO]!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2173422032
Nice minimalist level by @dickeyj2316. You need a lot of sand, everything here will be made of sand! Do not mix up routes, because you cannot turn trains around. Great July map, @dickeyj2316!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2176050432
Simple relaxing map by @Gelledee. You train engineers among huge geometric shapes. We advise you to pay attention to the green plus: a useful tunnel can be built there.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2178530005
A very interesting level with a large fortress by @LittleBear. There are many passages through the walls and you will have to find the best routes. Great gameplay. Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2175774323
@embRellish made his first test level for a friend. This person was very lucky: he got an interesting variable level with excellent gameplay. If this is just a test, what would your elaborated levels look like, @embRellish? We will be happy to see them. Great job!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2178618332
Finally, another debut work! @Phil. took a non-standard approach to the game and invites you to try 3 types of powerplants. Timing is pretty hard here, so you'll have to make a few tries before you find the best solution. Interesting design, good art. A 10 Steam gift card is yours!

Friends, for the last few months Choo-Choo Weekly has been published only on the forum and on Discord. We've returned to the news section so that you don't miss new issues. You can find previous issues in this thread. See you!

Level of the Month - June 2020


Hello! The July special level design contest is in full swing, but we have a debt - to give the prize for the best level in June. It was an interesting month, many good levels were uploaded to our workshop. As usual, we should choose only one and today we dont doubt our choice for a second. Meet The Chicago (Hyper-) Loop!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2130794943
Fantastic detail, you can print a screenshot of this level and hang it on the wall instead of a city map. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail. Bridges and hyperloops are interchangeable, you have many routes and the main task is to keep track of all trains. Very deep work. @mishalunchbox, a 30 Steam gift card is yours! Congratulations!

In June, we celebrated the 1000th level in the workshop, and we believe that in July there will be much more. The theme of our July special contest is minimalism. We are sure that each player can make a level for this contest. We are waiting for your works, friends!

July special level design contest


Hello friends! We are happy to announce the start of the July Special Level Design Contest. In the past months, for such special contests, we added some new objects to the level editor. Now we are busy developing another new game, so there will be no new object. But we decided to set up special conditions for the contest levels.

The main idea of this contest is minimalism. We want to see simple short levels. We plan to use them in the future Let's Play Together challenges, so we set a limit on the duration of the level: no more than 10 minutes to get all stars. In addition, we want the authors not to think about our fast champions and take care of slower players. Please set the timings so that many players can get 5 stars. We are sure that this rigid framework will open up great freedom for creativity.

As usual, we will reward the top three levels. Winners will receive Steam gift cards with a face value of 30, 20 and 10 for 1, 2 and 3 places respectively. We wish you good luck and inspiration!

The 1000th level


Hello friends! We have wonderful news: the 1000th level has been uploaded to our workshop! We were looking forward to this event. At the same time, we were not ceasing to be amazed at how many players make levels. We have a thousand amazing levels! We want to tell you a little about the most outstanding authors and for this, we came up with several nominations.

[h3]Most Productive Author[/h3]
@The Good, The Bad and The Dudley made 140 levels for our workshop and it was he who made the 1000th level. He has been making levels since the workshop was introduced and it seems he is not going to stop.

[h3]Most Award-Winning Author[/h3]
This step of the podium is shared by @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley and @striker700. Each of them has 12 awards. By the way, @striker700s level became the level of 2019.

[h3]Most Popular Level[/h3]
Abandoned Oil Rig was made 2 years ago and to this day remains the most popular level. 7484 people subscribed to it, 1800 people gave a positive rating to this map.

[h3]Lead Guide Author[/h3]
@h2onik is an unusual author. She is the second most productive author of our workshop after @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley, with a whopping 58 levels. However, many of her levels are unusual in that in addition to interesting gameplay and art design, they tell us about some places, phenomena, or interesting people. In her workshop, you will find levels about the Glacier Express, about the Polish engineer Ernest Malinowski, as well as stories about the Olympic gods. We also used @h2oniks levels for Let's Play Together challenges more often than any other authors levels: 7 times.

[h3]Most Efficient Author[/h3]
Of the 18 levels made by @striker700, 8 were awarded. Good ratio!

[h3]The Craziest Level[/h3]
You may doubt our choice, but we believe that this level by @PureSativa is the craziest in our workshop. Just look: there are 59 stores, from which trains leave at different intervals. You have to figure out (or guess) in what order these stores should be launched in order to complete the level in 40 minutes. In any case, the level will end precisely at this time. We tried to finish it for 5 stars, but after a few attempts we gave up. If you know more insane levels in our workshop, write about them in the comments to this post!

Level of the Month - May 2020


Hello friends! Another month has come to an end and we are pleased to sum it up. In May, there were many good levels from our regular authors, from new ones, and from those who returned to this craft after a break. The applicants were stronger than ever, but we have to choose only one and it is...

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2100679787
...Resource Islands! A level with amazing gameplay. It captures you for 13 minutes and uses all your mental resources. Yes, it is these resources that the islands really need. You start with colored trains and gradually earn money for the necessary bridges and a tunnel. The ban on stopping trains makes this level even more dynamic and extreme. We also want to note the concise and high-quality art design. @BlaiddL3g3nd, we have played your level many times (not only because of hard timing) and we are absolutely sure that you deserve a 30 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Our contest continues! We hope that in June the number of excellent maps in the workshop will reach 1000. We will be very happy about this event! In the meantime, we are waiting for you at our fun Let's Play Together challenges. More and more people are playing together, recently the number of participants has exceeded 100 people. Only you are missing! Stay tuned, friends.

Update #31 - Gamepad Support


Hello friends! I hope you are well! We have great news. We used to think that train games are keyboard and mouse only. So if you like train management games please play them at the table and even thing about couch gaming. We are here to break this stereotype and introduce you to full gamepad support for Train Valley 2. Maybe it will seem a bit strange at the beginning, but probably after 5 minutes, it will be your favorite way to play the game! What I can say for sure: it is much easier to build tracks with a gamepad! Try it out! There is no special gamepad tutorial yet, but you should easily get the idea of the control scheme from the hints.

[h3]What is added?[/h3]
- Full Gamepad support (Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PS3, and many many others)
- Timings and challenges added to workshop levels description.

[h3]What is fixed?[/h3]
- Wrong hint for Embargo station.
- Scroll added for workshop level description in the game browser. The font size stays the same.
- Unity engine updated to the last version (more optimized and stable).

Please share the feedback about your gamepad user experience and in case you face any bugs or problems. We are here to help as always!
Stay tuned and be safe! tvmachinist

UPD: If you experience problems with the keyboard or mouse controls you can always choose "previous_stable" build in BETA section (right-click on the game in Steam library > Properties > BETA).

Level of the Month - April 2020 and special contest winners


Hello! We are happy to finally sum up April's special level design contest. We remind you that for this contest we have added a new object to the level editor the embargo station. Due to the events of recent months, this inspired many players to create levels. During April, 77 new levels appeared in the workshop, 25 of them with the new object. We had to work hard to look at all these levels and evaluate them. We sent 29 levels to the Featured, it seems that there have never been so many in one month before. We are very happy to do it! And now we are pleased to introduce the finalists of this fantastic contest to you.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2072791934
Only one embargo station and this significantly changes the gameplay. Nice level that is interesting to learn. We are pleased to give @tehrealyoyo a 10 Steam gift card.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2077072839
Absolutely crazy and very funny map. Addictive gameplay and interesting routing. In addition, this is a very beautiful level! @striker700, a 20 Steam gift card is yours.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2052886013
And we give the first prize to @alphrost. Detour Line is a very holistic and thoughtful level. Embargo stations play a key role, without them the level would be completely different and this is its important advantage. Thank you for your job, @alphrost! We are happy to give you a 30 Steam gift card. And we are waiting for your new maps!

Friends, at the time of writing these lines, there are 960 levels in our workshop. Do you think we will reach 1000 in May? We will see!

Level of the Month - March 2020


Hello everyone! Despite the fact that in March there was no special design contest, we found a lot of interesting levels in the workshop. Many people are now at home, some of them create levels, others are happy to play them. We are pleased to present to you the best level of March. It was made by the debutant @Felonious Yeti.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2020673910
This is a very harmonious level. The resources are very well balanced, and the visual design is also well thought out. For 19 minutes you immerse yourself in the colorful country of SIMO and move along narrow paths. Not a bad option for a virtual way out of the house, right? We are glad to give a 30 Steam gift card to @Felonious Yeti. We want to pay your attention to other levels from @Felonious Yeti and say that we definitely want new works!

March was amazing and we believe that our April special level design contest will be very handy for all of us. As you know, recently we have released another update, it contains an excellent new feature Embargo Station. This is a new level editor's object, it allows you to set a ban on the transportation of a certain type of resource. We suggest you use this new object in your new maps. Just try it! As usual, we will be summing up the results in early May and choosing the three winners. We are waiting for your works, friends!

Level of the Month - February 2020 and special contest winners


Hello friends! The February special level design contest is over. We examined many good levels, we saw many new authors, and it makes us happy. As always, it was difficult to choose because many maps deserve to win. But we are really happy with our decision. So, here is our verdict!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2006633161
The debut of @brainstorm4. The trains are in the role of city taxis. They scurry along the narrow streets of the metropolis, many of these roads are one-way. Great job, @brainstorm4! We are happy to give you a 10 Steam gift card. And we are waiting for new levels!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1999397378
@Rock98 is also the discovery of recent weeks. At first, there were very simple levels, then they were more complex and interesting. And now "the green land" has become one of the best levels of the month! It is very interesting to play this level. Different mechanics are very harmoniously mixed here; the landscape is also well designed. @Rock98, 20 Steam gift card is deservedly yours!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2003156133
@Gelledee is the absolute winner of the February special contest. In addition to the combination of all the latest mechanics and excellent visuals, this level best demonstrates the features and capabilities of a one-way station. Great gameplay. @Gelledee, you did an amazing job! We congratulate you on your victory and give a 30 Steam gift card.

Uh, that was a hot month! In March, we will continue our regular level design contest as usual. We need some rest, and then we will definitely come up with an occasion for a new special contest! Follow the news, go to our Discord server and be sure to take part in our weekly Lets play together.

Level of the Month - January 2020


Hello everyone! While our authors are studying the new one-way station mechanic and coming up with new levels with it, we are going to sum up the results of January. We unanimously decided that the main prize of the month will go to our new author: meet @Gelledee!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1965493941
@Gelledee laid down many route options. In this level, you will build a lot of bridges and over time you can rebuild them, creating new routes. This is reminiscent of the stairs in Hogwarts: they are constantly changing directions and almost intersect with themselves. Great gameplay, of course. @Gelledee has other good levels. We are waiting for your new work, and now we are happy to give you the 30 Steam gift card! Congratulations!

Friends, each of you can get on the cover of Train Valley Time. Just open the level editor and try to make a small nice map. You will surely enjoy it! And we will go to play new contest levels. See you later!

Level of the Year 2019


Hello friends! After long torments of choice and heated debate, we have chosen the best workshop level of 2019. Honestly, having watched all the best works again, we were shocked by how many talented authors we have. Your levels are often very different from what you can see in the game because you look at the game from a different angle. And our winner is a big master of using decorative objects in an unusual way. So ladies and gentlemen, please meet the triumphant of 2019 @striker700!
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1694810664
This map was the best in March 2019. It combines great gameplay and excellent visual style. Playing a new @striker700 map you always find yourself setting the game on pause and zooming in to find every small sketch hidden in the background. Of course, even more fun you get playing these surprising levels. Thanks for your impressive creativity, @striker700! We are happy to send you 50 Steam gift card. And we are always waiting for your new levels to appear in the workshop!
Thanks to all of you, friends for making levels, playing levels and participating in "Let's play together" challenges every week!
Stay tuned! Choo-choo!

Summary 2019



Hello dear friends! Our sweet Train Valley family! This amazing year was full of pleasant events and occasions!
First of all, we have finally released the full version of the game in April. Do you remember your first TV2 rocket launched? Amazing moment!
After this year, we had a great summer marathon developing and releasing Passenger Flow DLC in October! 20 more levels, new (or good old) mechanics and a lot of stuff for Workshop! What a time!

But the real gold is our lovely, creative community! Just imagine right now we have 729 levels in the Workshop. 209 of them are featured! 64 of them are using new passenger flow mechanics! You are doing an amazing job, friends! All of you: @alphrost, @h2onik, @striker700, @reg, @gemanera, @Gaztibelza, @unclekrusty, @Nimu, @sarahfmorgan, @gemanera, and many many others! We are proud to have you among our honored authors!
But there is one creator reached a 100 maps record! We are talking about you, @Mr Dudley. I don't know how you find time for that, but you are our hero!
We are truly proud of Train Valley 2 Workshop and it's only because of your amazing work guys!

To support your creativity we sent 93 Stem gift cards and keep doing it every week and month. We keep making weekly newspapers "Choo-choo weekly" and monthly covers "Train Valley Time" in your honor! I hope you are reading them!


This year we have started and keep arranging let's play together contests. We did it 45 weeks in a row already. And we have an amazing champion here as well. It is @stev1eb who collected the first 18 cards of the original set and now all 26 cards of the expanded set of cards. He was a champion in 12 of Let's play together contests! And get an exclusive knitted locomotive from our team! Congratulations!
But there are a lot of other cool guys and girls gathering every Friday on our Discord server: @Yokuyin (your guide is amazing), @Gamma Is Evil, @Unicast, @Nomiswelt, @Zebrakatten, @LiveConnector and many others! Thanks for keeping contests that friendly warm and challenging!

And of cause great thanks to our team. Thanks to Olga aka @glyinderwust for her hard and dedicated work as a community manager and her superior Workshop maps! Have you read her newsletter? It's worth your time! Our level designer Anton, 3d modeler Timofey and programmer Sergey did an amazing job! Special thanks to Alexander Ahura for the new DLC soundtrack! It's an honor to work with you guys!

Happy new year to everyone in the Train Valley family! Warmest wishes to you and yours!
It is just the beginning! Stay tuned! Choo Choo!

Level of the Month - November 2019


Hello friends! December has begun and this means that it is time to name the best level in November. During this time, many wonderful works appeared, but we discussed it and have chosen this one:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1912186429
This is a very beautiful and holistic level. We love it when the author comes up with a story for the level (or maybe the story came earlier). Thanks to the narrative, even the simplest level with one final product becomes unusual and interesting. It is impossible not to note the great work on the decoration of this map. Good balance and gameplay, of course. Congratulations, @sarahfmorgan, and thanks for the good level! We are pleased to hand you 30 Steam gift card.

Well, we are going to prepare for the holidays. Soon, little surprises await you. Stay tuned!

Results of Passenger Flow Level Design Contest


Hello everyone! We are finally ready to announce the results of the contest. We got about 30 levels and only after a long discussion we were able to choose 3 of them.

So, the third place and 10 Steam gift card go to @h2onik.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1895328151
This is a very dynamic level that requires maximum concentration from the player. It is an unusual and pretty map. We liked the clever use of hyperloops. We also like the fresh idea and the short duration of this level.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1891233351
We got a lot of good levels from our longtime author @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley. And it is this level that best demonstrates the principle of a constant shortage of resources invented by him. For this, Dudley very accurately calculated and tuned the order of the appearance of new colored stations they are always ahead of your possibilities and put you before the choice: to buy a bridge or a train? Great job, maestro, 20 Steam gift card is yours!

The best gameplay was shown by @Yokuyin.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1902730413
But in addition to excellent gameplay, we enjoyed the decoration of this level. The earth seems to be painted with watercolors with its smooth gradients, and factories and colored stations are precisely color-matched to their locations. This level is carefully thought out in every detail and we unanimously awarded the victory to it. Congratulations, @Yokuyin! We are happy to give you a 30 Steam gift card.

In addition, we would like to highlight the level of @striker700 in a special nomination.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1894450228
Great design and unusual use of decorative objects! We enjoyed looking at this map. Thank you for this work, we give you a 10 Steam gift card.

We also liked another work of @h2onik.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1884322848
This is a simple and excellent demonstration of the mechanics of colored trains. We believe that everyone who has not tried colored stations should start from this level.

It was a great contest! We want to say a big thank you to all the authors. You are incredibly talented people! We wish to see your new levels in the workshop. See you later!

Level of the Month - October 2019


Hello friends! October has ended unexpectedly, which means it's time to name the level of the month. There were a lot of new works in the workshop, twice as many as in September, and we are pleased to present to you the winner.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1898630751
Picturesque Swiss Alps, turbulent waterfalls and fast trains this is a good recipe from @Gaztibelza. Climbers are based high in the mountains and they need food supplies. At the same time, ordinary life bustles below. The set of productions and gameplay together harmoniously illustrate this story. We thank @Gaztibelza and are happy to present 30 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

Very soon we will summarize the October colored trains level contest, but for now go to the workshop and choose your favorite. See you later!

This is a very large-scale, complex, diverse level. It is difficult to finish it on your first try, we studied it for a long time. It is very holistic; it looks like a good thick book that you read with pleasure for a long time and you know that you will read it again and again.

We thank @alphrost for his excellent work and are pleased to present a 30 Steam gift card!

Level of the Month - August 2019

Hello! Autumn has come and its time for us to summarize the results of August. It was not easy to choose, and we are pleased to present the cover of the new Train Valley Time issue.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1841788958 @tehrealyoyo came to the workshop just a month ago and enriched it a great deal during that time. The works of this author are very mature: thoughtful gameplay is combined with the artistically designed landscape. We enjoyed playing maps of @tehrealyoyo very much and believe that Greenland is the strongest work in August. We are happy to give you a 30 Steam gift card and waiting for new ones!

Friends, do not forget to open the level editor. Try to make a map with a toll station - this is a very powerful mechanic that greatly changes the gameplay. We are waiting for you on the cover of Train Valley Time!

Weekly Winner - August 26

Hello! Choo-Choo Weekly and three wonderful levels, that our workshop was replenished with last week, are here. They are absolutely wonderful and we want to tell you about them as soon as possible. Go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1844139179 The first map of @robocat is made in the best traditions of recent debut works: high-quality, well-thought-out gameplay. We have two shores that are connected by a destroyed bridge. You probably already know what to do! We advise you to prepare more coal and send it to the other shore early. Good work, @robocat, the level goes to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1841044210 Last week's winner @scott.jackson again pleases us with a map. This is an unusual map with very fast (and really explosive!) trains, and even with a ban on the use of pause! Its breathtaking. We advise you to carefully look at it before turning off the pause (of course, if you have chosen to start level paused in the menu) because it does not immediately become clear how exactly the factories can be connected with each other and with the second city. This is a very beautiful level, we want to play it again and again. Definitely Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1841788958 @tehrealyoyo sends us to Greenland to build logistics for a research base. Try to guess from the first try, at what angle to build a bridge across the lake. This is a very thoughtful map with good logistics and elaborate gameplay. The undisputed favorite of the week! We are happy to give @tehrealyoyo a Steam gift card for 10.

August is ending, which means that the fresh issue of Train Valley Time will be waiting for you soon. Friends, since September we have changed the broadcast format a bit and will be publishing on Steam one big digest with the results of the month, where we will select the winner and list all the selected maps. The results of the week we will post on the forum. Choo-Choo Weekly moves to our Discord server to the channel #level-design-contest. There you can follow the winners every week, as well as participate in the Lets play together weekly competitions and just chat. Waiting for you!

Weekly Winner - August 19

Greetings! As always, Choo-Choo Weekly is in a hurry to inform you about the most interesting new works in the workshop. This issue will tell you about only one work, so let's get right to the point!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1832131106 Our only winner this week, @scott.jackson made a level that will take you like three ordinary ones. For the first 30 seconds you will be looking at the map sliced with rails, and then it will become hot: endless train flows with workers will plunge this map into chaos. You have to curb this chaos and direct it to your advantage. After a while, it will become clear that everything is not as scary as it seemed at the beginning, the main thing is to remember to toggle the switches. And of course, you must definitely find workarounds, because nothing can be demolished. You should definitely play through this map several times, it is able to put you into a state of flow; you feel like a pilot of a futuristic spaceship with a huge control panel that switches countless levers and buttons. Beautiful and dynamic map, great work, @scott.jackson! We are pleased to give you a 10 Steam Gift Card.

As we reported earlier, a bot appeared on the #lets-play-together channel on our Discord server. It helps to hold weekly competitions. Last Friday we successfully tested it and this week the bot will become even better. It has become much easier to participate with it: you no longer need to post screenshots, just register your Steam ID with the bot once (you can find it in the Train Valley 2 main menu in the lower-left corner) and your best results will automatically go to the contests lineup. Come, register and win prizes! See you!

Weekly Winner - August 12

Hello everyone! The latest issue of Choo-Choo Weekly has just left the print shop and is rushing into your hands. Over the past week, the workshop has increased by as many as 11 maps and we are pleased to tell you about the most striking works. Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1826606347 @SanSanych offers us to go into a deep gorge, rich in gold ore. Grab a pickaxe: you'll have to lay the rails along a lot of winding slopes. You will have to think hard about the schedule of your locomotive fleet: stopping trains is forbidden, and the distances they have to cover are very long. And, of course, do not forget to look for shortcuts. Great job, @SanSanych, the level is deservedly sent to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1828930350 The debut work of @scott.jackson. You are in a small, cozy valley where a variety of resources regularly arrive on schedule: from workers to computers. You cant take all of them right away, and be careful, ring trains can sometimes interfere with new ones leaving the tunnels. Let's face it: this is a level for experienced players. But we really liked the thoughtful work with the relief and the decoration. Great start, @scott.jackson, we would like to see more of your levels! And you will find this map in Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1827066379 On top of the podium today is @tehrealyoyo. Here are multi-tiered dunes, among which there is an active mining of ore. You have two cities and many forks and hidden passages that you can use in various combinations. One of the tasks is to build many bridges, but you would not have resisted the temptation anyway. Try to find the best routes among a whole bunch of options, but no train stops! Very thoughtful work and excellent gameplay. We are happy to give @tehrealyoyo a 10 Steam Gift Card.

These are the results of the past week. Do not forget to sort the levels in the workshop according to the date of addition, in addition to the Featured there are many unusual maps. Their number approaches six hundred and many of the most incredible ideas are embodied in these maps. Gods, how did the author come to this decision?! is our favorite feeling ;) And we are sure that we will experience it more than once. Waiting for your work! See you later!

Weekly Winner - August 5

Hello! As always, Choo-Choo Weekly and the new exhibits of our collection are with you. This week there were a lot of worthy works, and there were also maps with new game mechanics. So, if you have not looked into the workshop for a long time it's time to fix it, there is a lot of new stuff!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1818825525 A small map about a city, which inhabitants drive to work on the outskirts every morning. If you do not like long difficult levels, then this one is created for you: a simple relief, a moderate amount of resources and not too long distances. And a bonus: cities can take ready-made resources for each other ;) Real neighbors. Great balanced map, @Herd_Killing! Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1821280079 The second map is from @tehrealyoyo and it does not look like the work of a debutant at all. Here is an industrial coast with two cities producing ore and oil. Connect them with rails on all sides that you can find, the author allows you not to worry about finances. It remains only to correctly draw up a schedule and routes because it is forbidden to stop trains! And a tip: don't let the coal mine stay idle. Great work, @tehrealyoyo, welcome to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1824494836 Perhaps, the winner will not surprise you, you saw him most recently on the cover of Train Valley Time. We are always happy to welcome @striker700, his work is visible from afar. Enormous bonfires and scorched earth await you in the dragon's lair, and your task is to pack things, prepare food for the trip and build a rocket in order to quickly get away from this damned planet. You will need time to study this level, but then it will probably seem clear and short to you. We advise you not to delay the construction of the store with polymers. An unusual map that contains all the latest game mechanics, including toll station. We are happy to give @striker700 a $10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

It was an excellent week, friends! Traditionally we are waiting for you on Friday at Lets play together and remind you that even if your time is far from the top 3, you can still win a pin or card, as well as chat with other players and exchange experiences. Follow the news and banners in the game. See you later!

Weekly Winner - July 29

Hello everyone! Choo-Choo Weekly is here with a fresh overview of the best levels of the past week. In addition, we want to remind you of the special level design contest that is taking place right now. You can find its rules on the forum in a special topic.

We are actively preparing for the release of the DLC and have decided to show you something interesting from the upcoming release. Probably, you have already seen the new game mechanic toll station. It changes the gameplay significantly. We have noticed that every time we add something new to the level editor, a large number of levels immediately appears with this innovation. So we have decided to make a contest out of this unprompted wave and give prizes for the best works. Even if you are not sure that you can take a prize, do not forget that you can win the pin! We are sure that this contest will be the occasion for someone to open the level editor for the first time and try their hand. Dare, friends, you will definitely succeed!

But let's go back to the levels of the past week. All the laurels today go to a single author.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1814678748 @Zerpa made a good quality map with interesting logistics. High in the mountains, far from civilization, three small cities are developing. Spend your vacation in this cool valley, stroll around the blue lakes, its shape resembling beans (or kidney, if you love anatomy), stand next to the wind generators this will distract you a little from the 40-degree heat. The level is perfectly balanced, @Zerpa, the $10 Steam gift card is yours!

We are waiting for your work until 16:00 GMT on August 2. We will summarize the results the same day and launch the next Lets play together. Do not go far, there are a lot of interesting things ahead!

Weekly Winner - July 22

Hello friends! Last week was rich in new works in the workshop, and our weekly contest Let's play together once again broke its record for the number of participants: 43 people sent us their screenshots! But let's go back to our authors and see what they have prepared for us. Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1804859863 Sleepytown needs engineers, so it's time to open a university. But, like most of the old cities, it is very densely built and some houses will have to be sacrificed in the name of Science. You will need a lot of money and at first, you will have to negotiate with your neighbors for a long time. However, the bank and the exchange are at your service. Well, we want to believe that in the end, the city will get truly brilliant specialists! Great job, @Zerpa, Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1804624105 It may seem to you that you have already seen this level somewhere. And this is not deja vu, you can really find maps with a similar name in the workshop. A year has passed, many new productions and a game mechanics became available in the level editor and @fendarin made a remake of his map. And it is just great! It looks that you left your hometown, graduated from a university in Sleepytown, returned to your native Steel Town and set about upgrading. Be careful with the stores, we advise you to open them at some intervals. The level that will soon become a classic can be found in Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1810194137 The new masterpiece from @striker700. You will have a very few money, but this is enough to open an inexhaustible source of steady income. But your main goal is to open customs. Entrust the manufacturing of jewels to mountain monks, but for now, watch the trains with microchips: you need to save them before the opening of customs. This map is very interesting to look while paused: @striker700 can find the most unexpected use of standard objects. Perfectly balanced and unusual, this level brings the author a $10 Steam gift card. Congratulations!

That's all for today. Friends, do not forget to visit our Discord server! And follow the news: this week you will find an interesting update. See you soon!

Weekly Winner - July 15

Hello friends! Tomorrow most of the world will observe a lunar eclipse, and today we offer you an overview of the best works from our workshop. There were not many of them last week, but they are definitely worthy of your attention. Let's start!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1801235032 Prepare your spacesuit - we're going to the Moon! But first, we need rockets, of course. @joncb01 compactly placed all enterprises and provided for accelerated delivery of products to them: the latest developments to high-tech industry. Naturally, the best minds will flock to this Valley of Innovation, you just need to give them a way. This is a very dynamic level with good gameplay and it definitely deserved to hit the Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1799071821 A favorite today is the level from the master that is well-known to you. Among the mountain peaks, there is a small agglomeration. Residents of these cities are going to establish automobile production and you have to build several factories. But the bottlenecks of this map are the customs and the powerplant; it will take a lot of resources to support their work. Excellent work, @alphrost, the $10 Steam Gift Card is yours!

That's all for today. We are waiting for your new work in the workshop, friends. And do not forget that every Friday we compete in passing the chosen level from the workshop in the Lets play together contest. Even if you do not consider yourself a fast player, you can still win a prize, and also get tips and just enjoy chatting with other players on our Discord server. See you!

Weekly Winner - July 7

Hello friends! Choo-Choo Weekly and the best levels of the workshop over the past week are here. Green lawns? Dizzying mountain ranges? Breathtaking deep gorges? We pick it all. Now, let's see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1793801940 Traditionally large-scale work of maestro @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley. Two independent cities that work hard for their own benefit. However, you need to find a way to the source of energy and this is truly a non-trivial task. You have to find the right way on your first try, since the author does not give you a chance to relocate the rails. As a result, it turns out that these cities are not so independent of each other: a technological empire needs food, and an industrial one needs automation for its production facilities. But you would still really like to ride along this dizzying ridge, wouldnt you? You will find this map in Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1794312506 It seems to you that you were recently throwing a ring into a volcano? So it was, but this time you are at the theme park. At the well-made park: huts are just like the real ones! But hurry: behind you is a crowd of visitors and the ticket office is running out of paper. And if only they! No one should leave without the coveted ring, so hurry up and send the workers to the mines. And all this for the very book. A wonderful level from @Nimu goes to Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1788155289 And the winner today is @Zerpa. In this level, you will find two cities separated by a deep gorge full of riches. It remains to decide in what order they will begin to mine them. This is an elegant, well-balanced map, with the lulling descent and ascent from the gorge... But try to find all the ways :) Great job, @Zerpa, we are happy to hand you a $10 Steam gift card.

We would also like to mention the work of @[21st-PD] general kitten. This is the beginning of a series of levels dedicated to the Finnish industry. We love this approach to creating maps and will be waiting for the continuation. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1792111557
That's all, friends! We are sure that even more interesting levels will be waiting for us in the workshop and we are going to do something to make them appear. Follow the news. See you!

Weekly Winner - July 1


Hello, engineers! Hopefully, the heat is not knocking you out of a rut too much, because you need a lot of strength. Many interesting levels appeared in the workshop last week and we had to sweat a lot to choose the best ones. Friends, we are giving you the baton, so that you can evaluate them all! Full speed ahead!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1779480939 Three islands separated by two rivers - it is the formula of an ideal landscape. Two cities and an interesting puzzle from @ . This minimalist map is balanced so that, with all its apparent simplicity, you will feel that you can optimize your actions even better :) Excellent map, @ , featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1780686356 A sketch of how tourist glory came to a quiet town. Locals are forced to neglect their minor matters - the garage will put itself in order somehow - and together send their strength to the hospitality industry. And you, friends, like real engineers, focus on building airplanes, a lot of airplanes! Interesting gameplay and excellent balance, the map from @Nimu confidently goes to Featured section!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1786677224 Do you see this famous color of water? Maestro @striker700 is back with a beautiful map you will want to look at for a long time. This dynamic level will keep you in good shape from start to finish, and the location of the tunnels is sure to make your head spin. Works of @striker700 are as an attraction, to which you want to return again and again. We advise you to take care of the delivery of all the dynamite in advance! A brilliant level, @striker700, we will gladly hand you a 10 Steam gift card.

These are the results of the past week. In addition, you will soon receive the latest issue of Train Valley Time magazine, which will reveal the winner of June. We are waiting for you at the competition on Friday, friends! See you later! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - June 24


Hello friends! Your Ferris wheel cabin has slowly come next to Monday, and as always, the fresh issue of Choo-Choo Weekly falls on your knees. Last week, only three maps were added to the workshop, but they are excellent! With great pleasure, we hurry to tell you about them.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1775417932 A survival game by @angryxpeh. You are preparing to go IPO, however, due to the fact that you have little experience in this matter, your friends advise you to be ready for failure and stock up on instant noodles. Well, you can only hope that they will generously share some boiling water with you :) But we think you have every chance of success. You will definitely like the dizzying landscape, high-speed trains will run like a roller coaster in an amusement park. Good job, @angryxpeh, maps place is in Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1778598717 @ put Frostpunk into Train Valley 2 so you can play Frostpunk while you play Train Valley 2. If this is an advertisement, then it is very good! Indeed, the atmosphere is recreated with great accuracy: coal productions of all kinds are everywhere, thermal power plants are in the center of the valley and people are arriving. Well, try to warm everyone here and save Manchester. Elaborate work, @, definitely Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1773609524 The central place today is occupied by maestro @h2onik with no less elaborate work "Ghost towns". If you do not have the habit of reading the description of the level before its first launch, then you probably will not notice what makes it so special and what the huge hangar is. However, together with Craig Mazin, @h2onik puts another monument to human errors, on which it is important to work and remember them for the sake of the future. Using the standard objects in the level editor, the author has created an exact miniature of an overgrown abandoned city with its Soviet five-story buildings and the famous Ferris wheel. Of course, the huge hangar is New Safe Confinement over the 4th power unit of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which was finished just 2 years ago. Move back in time a little and help finish it! Of course, it requires a lot of workers and engineers, as well as metal and other building materials. You will have to transport workers from afar because there is still almost no one in the exclusion zone... Thank you for such an important level, @h2onik, your victory today is unconditional. The 10 Steam Gift Card goes to neighboring Poland!

It seems that this is all that we wanted to tell you today. Take care of yourself and your loved ones and look for inspiration in everything that surrounds you. With the help of our level editor you can create your own story and tell us what is important to you. We are always waiting for your work. See you soon, friends!

Weekly Winner - June 17


Hello friends! It seems the summer travel season has begun, but Choo-Choo Weekly will never leave you without a fresh overview of the best works of the past week. On this warm June day, you can gladly open the workshop and find sea, sun, and

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1767878451 ...the upcoming apocalypse. However, there is also a small lake there, but we would not advise checking out the water. @unclekrusty, on the other hand, encourages you to cast aside your fear of grazing cattle in the infected fields and think about the future. You have to get food and ore while opening new ways and creatively solve logistics problems. A very meditative and atmospheric map for a long, languid evening. Of course, you will find it in Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1771758548 Small islands are scattered in the sea and all factories and cities look like toys compared to huge waves. From the outset, you are very limited in funds and you need to find a way to quickly raise capital. Hint: use shortcuts ;) The main production on these islands is aviation, which makes you fully feel the thirst for traveling beyond these tiny pieces of land. Very fascinating sketch from the recognized master @h2onik, which deservedly goes to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1771029248 We love debut levels. The @Nimu map is no exception: very well balanced and thoughtful, it may mark the beginning of a whole collection of works. In any case, we would be very happy about this! Take a look at the description: behind the usual green picture, there is a fascinating story about the mayors of two cities who could not share the responsibility, which ultimately falls on you. Try to distribute the available budget correctly and finally deal with bridges. While you are choosing between a sand pit and logging, we are happy to hand over a $10 Steam gift card to @Nimu!

That's all, friends. We hope you already have plans for this summer. We, in turn, can assure you that we plan to meet with you this coming Friday at our traditional competition! See you later!

Weekly Winner - June 10

Hello everyone! Choo-Choo Weekly and new awesome levels from the workshop are here. We cant wait to tell you more about them, so we will not hesitate let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1759994003 Let's start with the warm sunny Italian Alps. Green meadows are in front of you as if descended from canvases of pastoral painters that you have to bring to life with threads of railways. Traditional animal husbandry is complemented by the production of printed materials, because each inhabitant of these small towns needs to relax in the evenings with a book in their hands in their lush garden. If you love Italy just like @Giangi7723, then you can find other maps about this beautiful country on the author's Steam page!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1763314839 The author of 50 levels of the main campaign of the game, @Grem made an excellent level for the workshop, or rather, specifically for our competition Lets play together. Looking at the name of the map, you can probably guess who will look at you from this quiet picturesque lake. @Grem offers you a choice of a whole bunch of options for completing this level, and during the day that the competition lasted, it seemed to us that the competition with such maps should be extended 2 times so that there is enough time for everyone to try and hone all the routes and find the most optimal one. However, it is not necessary for you to set records (they are not so easy to beat, by the way), it is much more pleasant to look idly at the uncomplicated landscape, that hides so many routes in some magical way. You will definitely find the work of the Master in Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1762600208 The new map from @h2onik is like a box under the Christmas tree in December: whatever is hidden in it, it will definitely be a pleasant surprise. And the current box amazed us! In it, we found a fantastic story about a Polish engineer who was invited to Peru to build a railway and designed an amazing route that connected the Pacific and Atlantic oceans through the Andes. This was a real engineering marvel (by the standards of the second half of the 19th century; however, even now this road is impressive) that included dozens of tunnels, bridges and viaducts, and also ran at an altitude of over 4800 meters above sea level! Construction was carried out in incredibly difficult conditions and @h2onik very accurately reflected this in her work destruction and rockfalls were a frequent occurrence. We are sure that it would not be an exaggeration to say that this map is another monument to Ernest Malinovsky from his compatriot and a fan of railways. We are extremely happy to learn such fascinating stories through the levels in the workshop and are happy to give @h2onik Steam gift card with a par value of 10. Bravo!

That's all we wanted to tell you today. We hope our winners inspire you to create levels or at least read Wikipedia :) Don't forget about our contest, friends. See you later!

Weekly Winner - June 3

Hello friends! A calendar summer has arrived in the northern hemisphere, and although there are snowdrifts in some northern cities today, we hopefully put our hats in the closet (of course, for now, we leave the scarf nearby). We have already chosen the best level of May, and now its time to present you the candidates for June. You probably noticed the update of the main menu and now you surely want to visit the workshop more often, or even get to know it for the first time. Let's see what's new there!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1755241804 Debut work of @BSIK. Three cities on the island are going to equip their homes and go to the mainland for the most necessary. Try to rationally plan their routes and do not forget that you can always ask a neighbor to pick up your package ;) Excellent start, @BSIK, we are waiting for your new works!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1757920689 Holiday-map from last weeks winner @Erendil. Quidditch World Cup! Who has not dreamed to touch the world of this truly magical sport? You have a unique chance to participate in the organization of a grand match. Get more brooms! But do not forget to deliver the students to Hogwarts and provide the castle with food and textbooks. A beautiful map with an interesting landscape from the wizard @Erendil goes to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1758571851 The first place today goes to @Po with a story that takes us more than a hundred years into the past. You will be fully immersed in the era of the Gold Rush. Before you is Chilkoot Pass and a long, long way to the coveted gold. Do not be confused by the lack of funds to build all the way to the gold mines the trains will go for so long that you will have time to earn money to finish building the rails. Therefore, send getters from the first second! A very unusual level with historical background and interesting gameplay. Like seekers of gold at the end of the 19th century, you will need all your courage and ingenuity to reach it. Excellent card, @Po, a $10 Steam gift card is deservedly yours!

It has been an excellent week in the workshop. We are happy to see new authors, their work is fresh and unusual. Friends, be sure to try the level editor, you can make a simple level even in half an hour. See you at the competition!

Weekly Winner - May 20

Hello friends! It's a new week, and it's time to see what's new in our workshop. The main thing is that we have new authors and their first works are worthy of attention and praise. Meet those guys!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1744769022 Debut map from @[KGL] Hillbilly. People feed people such a simple plot, but so many stories can be built upon it! This map is well balanced in terms of budget. Be careful when upgrading locomotives. Simple and elegant, like a little black dress, it goes to our closet with featured maps. Check it out from time to time to find a level for every taste, mood and available time.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1741024381 Riddle-level from @Inspector. You are free to choose paths, but with a high degree of probability, you will use this freedom incorrectly during your first playthrough. Even the progress of filling the warehouses gives you tips Cheshire Cat-style: you will not feel relieved. For more fun @Inspector forbids us to stop a train, so if you suddenly realize that you need to send the released train in another direction, you will have to build new rails right under its wheels. Excellent puzzle, the map unconditionally goes to featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1741615769 On the throne today is the "Company Merger". @Phlosioneer entrusts you with two bankrupt companies that need to be pulled from the bottom. All paths are built and you can only slightly optimize them. This map has extremely intricate routes and terrain, you should constantly monitor each train, because the rails intersect in the most unexpected places. Pay attention to the author's advices in the description of the level, they will help you a lot. This is the first work of @Phlosioneer and it is just great! Congratulations on your victory and we are happy to hand over a $10 Steam Gift Card.

How do you like our winners? We remind you that every week the levels from the workshop become a battle arena for the "Let's play together" competition and very soon we will update the rules: the prizes will become even more interesting! Follow the news. See you soon, friends! tv2conductor tv2loco

Locomotive 6-2 (The Bullet)

Good day, train lovers! The day has come: we have arrived at the final station, where the last locomotive is waiting for you, the one that inspired us to create a game model. We have come a long way and at the end of it we get such a bright specimen of the railway progress. If you have played first Train Valley, you probably remember its predecessor, the fastest green handsome Shinkansen E5. Today we will meet its younger relative: Shinkansen E6 Series!

The Bullet Trains - E6 Series Shinkansen
If were talking about high-speed trains, theres only one place where this trip should end to come full circle: the very place where they started speeding up, that is, Japan. The first true high-speed train was the Tokaido Shinkansen, which began service in 1964 just a few days before the Tokyo Olympics. It was a real revolution! For the first time, it was possible to go back and forth Tokyo and Osaka, the two largest Japanese cities, in the same day: it started as a 4 hours trip, but in just a few months they managed to shorten it to three hours and ten minutes.

This train was quickly nicknamed the Bullet Train for the bullet-like shape of its nose. It was an immediate success so much that it changed the whole way of making business in Japan, and the life of the Japanese as a whole since it allowed day work trips between these two capital cities for their economy. In less than three years it reached the 100 million passenger mark and an impressive figure of one billion passengers in 1976. Its success convinced the authorities to extend the high-speed rail network and it was a living example of success that helped to convince the world of the advantages of high-speed rails. Without the shade of a doubt, this is one of the many instances of train transportation well implemented changing society for good.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

The E6 series is their latest evolution. The first bullet trains ran at a maximum of 210 km/h; todays Shinkansen are capable of reaching a max speed of 320 km/h. In order to reach their famed speed and regularity, the Shinkansen employs some of the most advanced technology. For a start, their rail lines are completely separated from conventional lines and designed to help trains reach their full potential with as few curves as possible. It has the usual BoBo wheel arrangement of these trains; its engines use (via pantograph) a highly powered overhead in order to overcome the limitations of the direct current that power the Japanese electrified rails.

Were talking about engines because, as happens with lots of high-speed trains, the E6 Shinkansen doesnt have a locomotive as such; instead, each car is individually powered, which allows for faster acceleration and deceleration. This is very important for the Shinkansen since it has more stops than any other high-speed train in the world; it needs that extra kick so as not to lose too much time with every stop. And the living testament of the advanced technology of the Shinkansen is its safety: in his whole history, the Shinkansen trains never have had an accident. The E6 series, the one operating as of today, started its service in March 2013 and has no expiration date yet.

Its in-game counterpart has the same sleek, nimble features that make the Bullet Trains look like something directly from a sci-fi movie and of course, its iconic bullet-shaped nose. This train is ready to take you all the way to the future without even slowing down and in the most comfortable ride of your life too!

In the past months, weve come a long way. We started our trip in the early days of train transportations, discovering some of the iconic locomotives of the Steam Golden Era. We saw these monsters of coal and smoke evolving into faster and more efficient machines, then switching to diesel to travel through mountains and plains all across the world. As time passed trains became cleaner with electric-powered locomotives; then high-speed trains came and started spreading all over the world. And afterward? Who knows what the future will bring, but this we know: there will be trains in it!

Its been a wonderful journey: weve enjoyed a lot writing this historical vignettes, and we hope you had fun discovering the trains that inspired the ones you can use in the game. Thanks a lot for joining us for this trip and for playing Train Valley 2, of course. May your trains run fast, safe, and on time!

Weekly Winner - May 13

Hello everyone! The latest edition of Choo-Choo Weekly is at your doorstep, and there are fresh winners in it, ruddy like morning croissants in a bakery across the road. Pour coffee or fresh tea and get ready to discover the most outstanding works in our workshop this week. Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1738243970 You are already familiar with works of this guy @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley again makes us happy with his new map. It's just about rockets. You need only a few. In fact, you get into full-scale production of shuttles from scratch. Everything falls on your shoulders: from coal mining to engineers training at universities. And try to keep it within 40 minutes (we were not immediately able to do it). As they say in Russia, "How do you like this, Elon Musk?"

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1734753544 While waiting for the prized pin from the Lets play together contest, @yaroslav4tv made a new level. Residents of windy steppes are building a new city, surrounded by low hills, to take cover in silence and calm. Alas, the rock is so hard that you cant cut tunnels in it. The new valley has only one entrance and you need to correctly develop a schedule to make the most efficient use of available tracks and trains. Great job, @yaroslav4tv, your map goes to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1736570921 The winner today is @BlaxlandAlex3 with Lighthouse Point. Here is a small port area with small factories that work at full force. This is a paradise for engineers and high-tech industries. This map is rich in alternative routes, try to find all of them! Very professional work, you can find something new with each subsequent try. Were happy to send a $10 Steam Gift Card to @BlaxlandAlex3 and add Lighthouse Point to Featured so you can replay it a few more times.

That was a great week! We will publish the final issue of our historical blog very soon only one locomotive remains. In the meantime, you can practice your skills on your favorite maps to prepare for our traditional Friday competition. See you later, friends! tv2conductor tvloco

Locomotive 6-2 (The Champion)

Good day, train lovers! This is the last station before our final destination: today and in the next post, well have a look at the historical counterparts of the very last two locomotives you can find in Train Valley 2. Were looking into present day now: these are trains that you can easily find and ride. Comparatively clean, insanely fast, and safest than ever, todays trains are small moving marvels of cutting-edge technology. For the first leg of this journey were going to France, so brace yourselves, for this train goes really fast!

The TGV POS
The TGV is the whole line of French high-speed trains (the letters stand just for Train Grand Vitesse). Its first prototype was built in 1969 and funny enough they worked with gas turbines (basically burning gas oil to produce energy) instead of electricity. Regardless of their performance, the 1973 energy crisis prompted the French authorities to discard this prototype, deeming it to be uneconomic. On the other hand, France had started building nuclear power stations all over the country, so there was plenty of (comparatively) cheap electricity to be used

So, in the end, their engineers turned to electricity from overhead lines and took many of the new technologies developed for the failed TGV 001, like high-speed brakes, aerodynamics, and new signaling systems. Several years later, the first electric prototype was completed and deployed for testing, and after some trials, the French administration decided to commit to the TGV project and started to fund it for good. In 1980 the first high-speed line was opened. After a few years, a good part of the French territory was covered by high-speed rails; in 1994, the Eurostar service connected continental Europe to London crossing the Channel Tunnel.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

The POS itself is in service since 2006; it is a curious specimen, having been built by connecting single-deck carriages of the earlier TGV Rseau with new power cars and the now free TGV Rseau power cars are also in use with other carriages in hybrid sets, so the Rseau spawned not one but two lineages of high-speed trains. The POS power cars have the particularity of being asynchronous: in case of failure, the broken engine can be isolated in order to make the rest work without its output, thus allowing it to reach the station to get fixed without interrupting the service.

The TGV is famed for its safety: it has never suffered a major accident in its entire history. But thats not the only reason for its fame: its also insanely fast. The POS itself is a record-breaking train: in 2007 it set a new world speed record on conventional rails, reaching up to 574.8 km/h. Because the train was slightly modified for these trials, it is considered a somehow unofficial record but this max speed is still impressive, especially when combined with the safety record of the TGV in general. So if you ever ride a TGV, enjoy the ride without worrying for a second at how fast youre going!

Our in-game counterpart keeps the same slender, elegant lines, with the bullet-shaped nose and wide frontal window. You can also recognize its long and stretch lateral windows. Its name is Champion, and you can guess why. This train wont stop at anything to get you to your destination and fast!

That's all for today! We have only one stage left to reach the final station, where we will get acquainted with the last high-speed train. It is truly legendary and is absolutely worthy to complete our long journey through the milestones of the history of train development. For us, railways are a very special world and we believe that the readers of our historical notes are starting to feel similarly (or we just reinforced this feeling). We are anxiously awaiting our next stop. See you later!

Weekly Winner - May 6

Welcome, friends! The latest issue of Cho-Cho Weekly is with you, in which we, as always, want to tell you about new works in the workshop. They are all very colorful and interesting, just like spring gardens in Keukenhof. Lets see!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1727352542 Maestro @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley is seriously testing us for speed. The level is clearly divided into zones: raw materials, high-tech productions and "Wall Street". Dont forget to send trains to the stock exchange! The playthrough of this map resembles a fiery dance, in which you need to quickly and harmoniously move all the limbs, while at the same time moving around the platform relative to the other dancers. It's important to complete the quest of making money in time because if you hold the last train with the products, you will fail the level. Look for this map in featured, you'll probably return to it more than once.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1733256061 We're pleased to present you the first work of our permanent participant of the Lets Play Together competition @stev1eb. This is a story about the monks who derailed their strict fasting and then set off after it themselves. No, no catastrophe, just now there are more workers in the village, and on the high cliff, it deliciously smells of something fried. Life in these parts is quiet and measured, we advise you to carefully distribute the workers, they appear quite slowly! The excellent task with logistics and work with relief, the level deservedly goes to the featured. This is a very good start, @stev1eb, were waiting for your new work!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1729644442 The unconditional favorite today is the map from master @alphrost. Factories and Fjord Town are scattered along the shores of the bay, and all this is folded into an entertaining puzzle, which you dont suspect at first glance. You will probably need several attempts to complete this level for 5 stars, but it is definitely worth all the effort. Very beautiful and compact map, even the power station is placed artistically.

Locomotive 6-1 (The Taurus)

Good day, train lovers! Its been a truly exciting week for us since Train Valley 2 departed from Full Release Station, but it was but another stop. The journey continues: today we resume our trip through the history of locomotives... which is, actually, also about to reach its final destination. In our last historical vignette, we discovered a Chinese locomotive, the SS8, and with it, we closed the chapter of the first Electric Era. Today we enter the second one, which we could say started around 1995 and is pretty much still underway. If the popularization of electric-powered engines was the landmark of the previous era, in this one the most important characteristic is the constant spreading of high-speed trains, which are slowly becoming the norm for long- and medium-distance travels in Europe and Asia.

There is no international standard as such, but trains operating over 250 km/h on new railway lines or over 150km/h in old lines are widely considered to be high-speed. They are not exactly new, though: the first one started operating in 1984 between Tokyo and Osaka. However, they werent really successful at the beginning. The first reason for that is its implementation costs: for a train to be high-speed they dont just need fast and powerful locomotives, but also special rails and sometimes even new railway routes after all, no matter how powerful your engine is, you cant expect to go fast on a dirt track! High-speed trains are also mostly used for passenger transport, and that makes them only really efficient in highly populated areas.

For all these reasons, they only started to spread in the 90s, and only became really popular in Europe and Asia (as we explained in a previous post, America is a different story) the first years of the 21st century. Were still living this process: high-speed lines are still being built all over the world as of today, for instance in the Arab world, China, and even Europe. Today we discover one of the most popular trains of this era in Germany: the EuroSprinter 64 U.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

The Eurosprinter 64 U
The Eurosprinter is a whole family of electric locomotives built originally for the European market, but it became so popular that it spread as far as Korea, China, and the US. Its got an important peculiarity: its completely modular, which facilitates its maintenance and makes it easier to customize to different lines. They are used both for passenger and freight work; its use is stated in their name: the U in 64 U stands for Universal use, while a freight Eurosprinter would wear an F (like the ES 64 F).

The first prototype of the Eurosprinter came up in 1992, and they went to mass production in 1996. With some variations, their production stopped in 2010. Thanks to its modular nature, theyre capable of working in many different situations for instance, they are adapted to all four European electric systems. Its got the well-known BoBo configuration, and its usually capable of reaching up to 230 km/h with a power output of 6,400 kW (thats where the 64 in its name come from!).

We say usually because the ES 64 U is officially the fastest conventional electric locomotive. In 2006, the locomotive 1216 025-5 reached a top speed of 357 km/h when doing tests before its delivery to the Austrian Federal Railways company BB. This broke a record that had resisted since 1955 when SNCF's BB9004 attained 331 km/h between Lamothe and Morcenx on France

You can see the in-game counterpart of this locomotive, which features the same symmetrical appearance and its triangular side windows, and its long pantograph. It sorts of look like a two-headed snake, right? This beauty is ready to cross your best railway lines at full speed! Thats all for today! In the next post, well discover a new locomotive that inspired the ones you can find in Train Valley 2, and continue our trip across the history of locomotives. Until then, we wish you a great week and a safe trip for your trains. Choo-choo! tvloco

Weekly Winner - April 29

Hello, friends! The latest issue of Choo-Choo Weekly is here. It seems that many have finished the main campaign and are charged with ideas for the use of new mechanics and decorations, many of which are already available in the level editor. Let's see what they did!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1721579741 Unusual map from @PureSativa. Five zones with the same production in which you make money. However, each next one makes them faster and it would be better for you not to linger in the early ones. Monochrome at first glance, after building all the rails the map looks like a laced canvas. Dont forget to spend seven million! Great work, @PureSativa, definitely featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1725182530 This time, @h2onik invites us to the future and suggests to fantasize about how to colonize the satellite of Saturn. You already have experience colonizing Mars, so you can do it right. But pay extra attention to the power plant, you have no right to make mistakes. This gray, inhospitable celestial body will make anyone who can conquer it a titan. We promise your eye will be much more accurate after receiving all the stars on this map ;) Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1721723430 Ahead of everyone today is @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley. The Good map is like a small box with a secret: so simple at the first glance, but capable of captivating you for a long time. You need to deliver only one good and you need to buy it, so the whole game you will be earning money for it. Do you think it's hard to make a million on such a small area? We tell you more you can do it in less than 9 minutes! Good goes to featured, and @...Dudley gets a 10 Steam gift card.

These are the results of the past week. Friends, we remind you that our workshop is a storehouse of inspiration and crazy ideas. There are almost 500 entries there already and anyone will find a map to their taste and skill. And we are sure that many of you have yet to contribute to this collection, so we remind you about the green level editor button. Be sure to try it, you will definitely like it! See you soon!

Locomotive 5-3 (The Broom)


Good day, train lovers! Its been a while since the full release of Train Valley 2; for us, its been (and still is) a super exciting period, but we are happy and incredibly grateful for the great reception of the game. We feel humbled by your passion and love, so first of all, we want to say thanks to all of our players. We also want to say that this is the start of the journey. Were gathering all your feedback, and rest assured, there are future stations to look forward to!
But life (and trains) still goes on, and so do our series of historical vignettes about the real locomotives that have inspired the ones you can find and put to use in Train Valley 2. Prepare your luggage for a long, long trip, for today were crossing the world to the Popular Republic of China. Today we discover the SS8, a popular Chinese train and the last one of our first generation of electric locomotives.

A brief history of the railroad in China
Before we dive into the locomotive of the day, its worth explaining a few key details about the history of rail transport in China a history so turbulent that it helped to topple a ruling dynasty. Creating an efficient railroad network for a country so big that amounts to a whole continent is not exactly an easy endeavor so much that we could say that they are still ongoing. On top of that, they started sort of late: by mid-19th century some top-level politicians and intellectuals called for the building of the first railways, but the very conservative Qing court rejected the idea. Apparently, they thought the steam engines were a clever but useless idea, and they feared the railways would eliminate natural defensive barriers and harm agriculture.
Because of this, the very first railroads in China were built by the British in Shanghai but since it didnt have approval from the Qing government, it was dismantled only a year afterward. Just a few years later, the Viceroy of Zhili managed to convince the Empress Dowager to build a railway line from a coal mine to a nearby city. In order to sway her, he built a 2 kilometers railway from her residence to her dining hall. Even though, according to stories, the Empress was worried that the steam locomotive would disturb the feng shui of the imperial city and had the train pulled by eunuch slaves, in the end, she approved the construction of the railway line.
In the next years, railway construction lived a fast development: Chinas defeat in the first Sino-Japanese War convinced the government of the need for modernization and the most powerful nations of the world were also pressing to get concessions to build railways, settlements, and mines in China. In the course of 15 years, Britain, France, Germany, the United States, Japan, Russia, and even Belgium build around 9,000 km of rails. This interference, in turn, angered the Chinese, which prompted the government to permit provinces to create local railway companies and sell shares to the public. Some of these provinces bankrupted, though, and the Qing government sought to nationalize these local companies and offer them to foreign banks in exchange for loans.
Now hold on tight, this gets interesting. This attempt at nationalization angered the public even more, and it sparked the creation of the Railway Protection Movement. The government dispatched troops to suppress this movement. A still-secret revolutionary movement took the opportunity to launch an attack, the Wuchan Uprising. And this uprising kickstarted the Xinhai Revolution, the war that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. In a nutshell: a two-thousand years old imperial dynasty ended because they tried to take some peoples trains away. You dont mess with train lovers!
The first half of the 20th century was marked by World War II and the Chinese Civil War that established the Popular Republic of China. Some railways were dismantled as a war strategic measure, some others were created. In 1949, China had around 22,000 km of usable railway network a low number for a country that big. After decades of war, the communist government rolled up their metaphorical sleeves and put themselves to work. In the first five years, 6,100 km of new railway were built. The Great Leap Forward was a mixed bag, with misguided efforts that pushed the Chinese railroad and engines beyond their capacity causing lots of accidents and problems. Ironically, they tried so hard that it actually slowed down the construction, in some places for decades.
Despite some improvements in the system, the Cultural Revolution slowed down the building of new railways, and only new 16,000 km were set (when their initial goal was of more than 100,000 km by the 70s). During the 80s construction pretty much stopped, with government money going elsewhere although it was also the time when steam engines were replaced by diesel and electric locomotives. And we arrive at last at the protagonist of the day, the SS8.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

China Railways SS8, the Broom
The Shaoshan 8 (SS8 from now on) is a semi-high-speed electric locomotive, the eighth iteration of the dynasty of Chinese electric locomotives. Diesel and electric engines took more time to become popular in China because labor was so cheap that steam was still under use until the 80s. The first SS1 was built during the 60s; the first SS8 was produced in 1994, and it's batch production started three years later. Its a BoBo machine, a quite popular axle arrangement that weve seen in many other machines by now: two bogies with two powered axles.
Their first route was the Kingguan Line, which linked Beijing with Guangzhou; currently, it serves the ShanghaiKowloon and the BeijingKowloon lines, two of the most popular lines in China (and quite long: they take 20 and 23 hours respectively). Kowloon is the old name of the train station in Hong Kong; as you surely can figure, trains from Shanghai and Beijing to Hong Kong are of key importance. The SS8 pantograph had to be adapted to access Hong Kong, and until last year it was the only electric train allowed to enter the city. Thanks to this, the SS8 is a true icon of the recent past of the Chinese railroad network.
The SS8 was, for some time, the fastest Chinese locomotive: in 1998 it broke the Chinese speed record with a top speed of 239,6 km/h on a test run. That record lasted for some time until the popularization of high-speed trains in China during the 00s. Its nickname is the Broom but to be honest, we have no idea why it is called that maybe because it sweeps the railway leaving nothing behind? Weve tried to find a reliable source to confirm it but we couldnt find any, so if any of our Chinese-speaking players can clarify the story, well be happy to update this blog!
And what about the in-game version of the SS8? You can see the serious-looking front, with its square windows and protruding nose, and the iconical stripped plow. The long board on its side and the pantograph are also very recognizable. This machine is used to crossing very long distances and wont stop at anything!

This post ends the first generation of the Electric Era; were getting close to the present day, with trains that still populate their countries railways. In the next blog of this series, were traveling to Germany to discover a very interesting train that you still can find easily in todays German railways.
Stay tuned! tvloco

Weekly Winner - April 15

Hello friends! We still come to our senses after a busy weekend, but nothing can cancel the fresh issue of Choo-Choo Weekly. It seems that in the past week, many have focused on the beta test and less often looked into the workshop, but we still have a couple of great levels to add to our Featured list! Let's go!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1708274344 This week @Mr.Dudley told a story about two kingdoms that were unhappy with their neighborship. Since olden times they provided for themselves and this could go on, but progress has forced them to use electricity, and hunger made them exchange resources. Most of the time you will have to switch the banks, and only at the end will your proteges shake hands. This is a very touching moment, we would like to see the continuation of their relationship! Save to Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1706427611 You landed in the middle of the island with penguins and you must prepare the base for the arrival of scientists. The closer the earth's pole, the more fuel is required for a variety of needs, it will have to get a lot. The treasure is hidden on the map - an iron mine and a coal mine. But where? You should discover it yourself! And here is the tip: start storing food early. It is a well balanced map! Good job @Gaztibelza! The 10$ Steam Gift Card is yours rightly!

Todays issue is short, but a new post about the history of locomotives will soon be waiting for you, dont go far! In it, for the first time, we will go to Asia and find out what trains are capable of in the scale of history. See you later!

Weekly Winner - April 8

Hello everyone! It seems that every day the air is getting warmer and more electrified and it seems that the European spring has nothing to do with it. The release is this week, and we are hastily preparing for it, but there's no way we would forget to appreciate your best works in the workshop. Their total number is gradually approaching five hundred, and it is time to replenish the collection of featured ones. Let's do it!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1700686646 It seems that @Taboo continues the story @h2onik started. Charon finally retired and a mess began at the entrance to the Kingdom of the Dead. Hades urgently needs to tidy up the Elysian Fields before his beloved wife's return, and in exchange for help, he promises you special conditions when you will transfer to his possession. We'll have to start from the very basics, that is, with classic steam locomotives, but career growth is inevitable. Thanks for the interesting map, @Taboo, Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1703567245 Last month's winner hasn't left us. This is an unusual map with ingenious use of letters. Part of the action is hidden from us in secret tunnels, letters on the surface of the rocks carefully tell us about their directions. First, you should buy books, and only then start production - a logical decision! Conditions: dont remove the author's decor and spend as much money as possible (you will definitely manage to do that). This is a very beautiful work with winding paths and thoughtful landscape, a stunning color of the lake and... even waterfall! Absolutely Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1701586869 The first place is claimed by the turmoil from @Dudley. The city sits in the middle of the map, and by its sides are the guards that constantly demand payment. Fortunately, there are alternative roads, although over time it becomes clear that they are not so necessary. To fulfill the condition of the level and earn the required amount, pay the guards without stopping. Thus, the map turns into a hive with maximum entropy. It seems @Dudley is trying to create the Perpetuum Mobile. We are sending him 10 gift card for further development :)

That's all for now! Today or tomorrow we will start pre-release testing of the final version with new levels. As always see you at Let's play together, on Friday and on the full release of the game on Saturday. We will be waiting for your ratings and feedback! Stay tuned!

Locomotive 5-2 (The Caiman)

Good day, train lovers! Were back at our series of vignettes about the history of locomotives. Last week, we entered the Electrical Era and discovered the ChS8, a powerful machine with an unkind fate: built to be the cornerstone of long-distance passenger trains, it almost fell to oblivion after the collapse of the USSR. Today we start our historical trip going from the cold steppes of Russia and Ukraine to the warm and sunny shores of the Mediterranean sea: lets travel to Italy!

FS Class E-656: the Caimano
After the Second World War, the Italian national railroad company FSI (Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane) decided to invest in new locomotives, faster and more potent. The E.626 and E.636, built during the Fascist regime, were simply not powerful enough. In 1953, the FSI started working in a new model engine meant to be mounted on the modified chassis of the E.636. Five years later, the first prototypes of the E.646 and E.645 locomotives were produced. Just a few years later they designed and built a 4-axle locomotive with a similar concept, the high-speed E.444, which would be ironically nicknamed the Tortoruga (tortoise).

The E.444 was a success, but in just a few years the FSI realized they needed new locomotives not just faster and more potent, but also more modern, adapted to modern systems of control (instead of just to the old electromechanical systems). After 40 years of service, the first Italian-made locomotives were obsolete not to say simply limping its way after many tweaks repairs. On top of that, more modern engines such as the E.646 were less and less useful due to the increasing number of passengers after the economic recovery of the 50s and 60s, the Italian miracle. In order to avoid problems transitioning to a brand new type of machines, they decided not to start a design from scratch, go back to the field-tested E.636 and modernize it. The first E.656 was built in 1975; when they went out of production in 1989, a total of 461 engines had been built over the years. The E.656 has a B-B-B wheel configuration: three independent two-axle bogies, all of them individually powered by separate traction motors. Its a rheostatic electric engine which means that it uses a system of resistance to avoid excessive amperage at its start, thus reducing the risk of an electric overload. Funny enough, even though it is more powerful than the Tartaruga, with a +25% tractive effort, it is also significantly slower (150 km/h vs 200 km/h) at least in ideal circumstances: in old lines, or when coupled to old coaches, the Tartaruga could not reach its max speed anyway.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

The E.656 are all-purpose locomotives and they have been used on every kind of work, from freight to passenger transport. Reliable and powerful, they are capable of hauling heavy loads in difficult terrains of which the mountainous Italy has quite a lot. Its nickname, the Caimano (alligator) was chosen by an actual train lover, just like you: every time the FSI built a new locomotive, they called a contest in its official magazine to choose a name with the fans. Of all the entries, they liked Caimano the most and just like it happened with the Tartaruga, they painted the animal of the new logo on the sides of the locomotives. Although with significant updates and tweaks, the Caimanos are still in service in the Italian railways.

In the in-game counterpart of the Caimano you can see featured the same rectangular-shaped windows, the circular ones in the sides, the prominent front, and its two circular lights. The E.656 collects its power from an overhead line, so in this locomotive you can also see the pantograph in the frontal part of the roof.

Thats it for this weeks glimpse at the history of locomotives, but we suggest you not to bring your luggage down, for in next weeks blog were going really far, far away, to discover the history of the railway in China and one of its locomotives. Until then, get ready for the ride, train lovers! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - April 1

Hello friends! First of all, we want to say something that can no longer be hidden: the date of release of Train Valley 2 from Early Access is set! Very soon, on April 13 the game will be released completely. We updated the trailer, laid out new levels on the shelves, put and signed the trains (you could already find the names of some of them in the recent posts about the history of locomotives) and are ready to present you with all the work we have done. It sounds like a bottom line, but this is just the beginning! We have a lot of ideas about the future of the game and were always happy to hear yours.

And now it's time to return to our workshop, which is now rich in new creations. It was not easy to choose only three, but weve managed to solve this puzzle and here is our verdict.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1696643324 A huge densely populated city and several factories on the other side of the river. It seems there should be more of them... Don't worry, you will soon have guests with gifts! Don't mix up their rooms and provide everything they need. Interesting design and a good set of tasks. @yaroslav4tv, congratulations on your return to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1695609141 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1695965193 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1695976003 The second place today is a triptych from @gemanera. A large-scale story in three parts about how people start life from scratch on the forest shores, which they now call their home. They all have known this place for an equally long time and it unites them. Join the construction of the agglomeration and watch its growth and development. You will pass from mining and agrarian industry to a rich civilization with fast trains and high technologies. They probably took care of the cleanliness of productions, judging by the always clean and bright river :) Thanks @gemanera for an interesting scenario and great gameplay! A New Home goes to Featured in its entirety!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1694810664 And on the pedestal is the creation of maestro @striker700. Before us is Sun Valley, a megacity in a picturesque bay with a lighthouse overgrown with palm trees. It is time to cheer up this city, it needs new factories and a huge bridge, and the tender for its construction is yours. Organize work in four districts in time, to then connect them with tunnels, and the final touch will be a dedicated bridge for the fuel store. Very dynamic and balanced level, unconditional victory! We also want to mention another recent work of @striker700, Just in time, which also goes to Featured.

These are the results of this busy week! We also want to draw your attention, friends, that the Daily Deal of the first Train Valley will begin tonight. You can get to know TV2's predecessor at a very attractive price. See you at "Best level of the Month" and Let's Play Together at the end of the week! Choo-choo! tv2conductor

Locomotive 5-1 (The Disco)

Greetings train lovers! Week after week weve been traveling through the history of locomotives in this series of historical posts, discovering the historical locomotives that inspired the engines that you can find in Train Valley 2. Time flies, and after reading more about the steam and diesel eras, were slowly approaching our present time. Today we arrive at the 80s and with them to a new generation of machines: electrical-powered locomotives.
Should we want to go fussy over it, technically speaking diesel locos were also electrical: the diesel engines produced electricity which, in turn, powered the traction motors. But when we talk about electric engines we meant engines 100% powered by electricity, which is cheaper, safer, quieter, more efficient, and more powerful than diesel But it has one major disadvantage: for obvious reasons, you cant run trains with batteries. Thus, the entire railway needs to be electrified which means that the cost of infrastructure is much higher than with diesel machines.
When you want a train to be electrical, you need overhead lines (or an electrified rail running parallel to the actual railways), but also control and security systems to keep the whole thing running without accidents. Thats incredibly expensive, and it cannot be done in stages you need to electrify the entire line before you can put any electrical trains in them. This means that for an electrified line to be profitable, or at least run on an acceptable deficit, it needs to have a consistently high traffic volume and even so, the investment in this infrastructure hardly ever shows in the short-term.
That also explains why there are still a lot of diesel trains running, especially in North America: electrifying a line is not just about economy or engineering, but also a political thing. In the US, for instance, railroad infrastructure is private, and private companies may lack the capacity (or the desire) of investing in electrification. On top of that, the US impose higher property taxes on privately owned rail facilities. In contrast to this, in pretty much the rest of the world railway networks are considered part of the key national infrastructures they are financed by the states, which do have the capacity and motivation for such grand undertakings, and train operators pay fees for using them.
Electric locomotives by themselves are not exactly a new invention: the first one known was built in 1837 and ran on batteries, but it couldnt run for more than 2.4 km before running out of energy. It managed, mind you, to haul up to six tons at a surprising speed (for then) of 6km/h. Funny enough, it was quickly destroyed by railway workers who feared for their jobs but that didnt stop engineers from keep working on new models of electric locomotives. Back then, in spite of all their problems and technical challenges, they had a major advantage over steam: they didnt produce smoke, which was a problem in tunnels and especially in urban areas, where coal exhaust was worsening the life of citizens. The first electrical tram opened in 1881 near Berlin; the first electrically-worked underground line started working in London in 1890. Thus, electric locomotives quickly became the standard for underground lines and tramways, easier and cheaper to electrify with the knowledge they had back then about electricity and its usage.
The first electrical locomotives were all DC (direct current), but that meant an important problem: DC electricity cant be transported over long distances without losing lots of energy, which made its usage out of urban areas impractical. In America, that made it somehow interesting for short sections (like mountain crossings) where coal or water was difficult to come by. That, along with the economical and political implications already mentioned, stalled the electrification of lines in America up to the point that many lines even were dismantled. In Europe, on the other hand, the development of these engines continued. The first technical challenge that needed to be overcome in order to electrify long-distance railway was creating AC locomotives. Italy saw the first 100 % electrical mainline, and after some experiments, prototypes, and inventions by engineers such as Charles Brown and Klmn Kand, by the 30s electrical locomotives were ready for its widespread implementation. AC locomotives were better for crossing the many mountainous regions of Europe both because of its superior traction in steeper lines and the inherent difficulties of supplying coal at these heights and distances. Also, hydroelectric power was readily available, making electricity cheaper and easier to come by than coal and diesel. After World War II, France decided that AC locomotives performed well enough to start implementing it across all its network, regardless of terrain, until it became the standard. Taking into account that France was administrating Germany in the immediate years after the war, and its importance in Europe and in the construction of the European Union, this decision was highly influential in making electrical locomotives the European standard.
Despite everything, such an undertaking is not exactly easy. The world was still in ruins in the post-war era; serious efforts at electrification didnt start until the 60s. But in the next decades, electric locomotives became faster and more efficient thanks to all sorts of innovations, from a better energy usage that allowed for much more speed to regenerative braking that recovered kinetic energy during braking. And just like that, we arrived at the 80s when the development of high-speed trains motivated countries such as Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and Japan to electrify more and more lines, even building high-speed electrical lines from scratch. This is what we consider the start of the Electric Era of Locomotives.

The ChS8 (The Disco)
The first locomotive from this time that we are going to discover is the ChS8, a Soviet locomotive engine designed and built by koda. Back then, the Czech manufacturer Skoda was still a state-owned Soviet company; the ChS8 was produced in Czechoslovakia but used mostly in Russia and Ukraine. It was an 8 axle locomotive, developed for pulling very long passenger trains at 100 km/h or faster. Thanks to this, it helped to mitigate a problem that affected the Soviet railway network since the end of the 70s: the increasing passenger traffic was in conflict with the need for high volume freight lines; since the strained Soviet economy could not afford new lines, the USSR needed existent trains to be more efficient by adding more cars. That, in turns, created the need for more powerful locomotives.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Here enters the ChS8, the most powerful AC passenger locomotive ever designed in the USSR which, because of the turns of history, was relatively short-lived. Three prototypes were built in 1983 and sent to Ukraine for tests and adjustments. 30 locomotives were built in 1987, 50 more in 1989 and then the USSR collapsed. In just a couple of years, the former Soviet republics had more urgent things to care about than trains. After the disintegration of the USSR, passenger turnover in Russia and Ukraine fell dramatically, so there was not a great need for such powerful locomotives. Some of them are still in service, although in the last decade the Russian railways are turning to more efficient locomotives like the EP10 and EP20.


Here you have the in-game counterpart of the ChS8, with a similarly solid, strong, no-nonsense design. See also its two square-shaped frontal windows and its side windows, distributed in pairs except for the crews window and the last one. And check the roof for something you will in all this eras locomotives: the pantograph, the apparatus that collect power from the overhead line.
Todays post is a great example of the close relationship between the history of trains and History in general. The ChS8 is especially interesting for appearing in such an important critical moment for people, and how it affected its implementation, usage, and final fate.

We hope you enjoyed this story, see you next week! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - March 25

Hello everyone! Were glad to congratulate you, friends today the regular passenger rail traffic is 212 years old! However, locomotives weren't used. On March 25, 1807, the first horse-drawn tram ran on the Swansea and Mumbles Railway in the UK. And our workshop is full of large-scale epics this week, you probably spent a lot of time in it. We did too, and are ready to present you the best!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1688038304 Falling meteorites almost always bring with them a lot of interesting things. So is this time: it fell beautifully, and also opened up so much wealth for mining. Let's rush to the very heart of the funnel! There are four enterprising cities with great needs, you have yet to build two of them. This is a map with a very rich and intricate relief, we advise you to carefully study it before proceeding to the construction of tracks because deletion is prohibited. Great job, @PureSativa, the level goes to Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1688900485 Maestro @...Dudley returns to us, and even with the music! The mouth of rage has opened in the Garden of Eden. And its floor is lava, no joke! Late to be righteous, you need to earn all the money of the world to complete the level. This is a very dynamic map, if you suddenly have an idle train send it anywhere immediately. We recommend you to pass this level while listening to the Ultravox album of the same name, their total duration roughly coincides :) Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1688710390 It seems that the letters were added to the workshop just to put them on the tranquil green hills, and @unclekrusty did it! (Seriously, friend, you saved all of us.) Think you will shine in the light of spotlights? No, you will do all the heavy work: deliver equipment, engineers, and finally buy a lot of gold for the main film awards. @unclekrusty masterfully conveys the atmosphere of the behind-the-scenes commotion, forcing trains to get underwheel of each other. The objectives of the level are realistic: do everything quickly (only 12 minutes for three stars), do not destroy the scenery and make a lot of money, of course. Unconditional victory, a 10$ Steam gift card goes to autumn Australia. Congrats!

Friends, thank you for your works! Every week we find out that we are surrounded by the most talented and interesting people. We look forward to your new maps! See you soon!

Locomotives 4-2 (The Rabbit) and 4-3 (The Chief)

Hello, history lovers! We continue our chronicle and today we will continue to discover the fourth generation of diesel locomotives. The German and American diesel locomotives are waiting for us, very important guys in their generation. These workhorses are not chilling in museums, unlike most of their steam ancestors. Let's go!

DB Class 218
This locomotive is a familiar sight for all German train lovers: the definitive (and most numerous) revision of the most popular family of diesel locomotives in Germany, it became the backbone of the West Germany diesel-powered train fleet from the 70s up to the reunification. The DB class 218 had a B-B wheel configuration (two bogies with two powered axles under the unit). Its main feature in comparison with its predecessors in the V 160 family was its more powerful engine that allowed for a single engine to provide tractive power and electrical train heating, thanks to an attached generator (while the DB Class 217 needed a separate engine for heating).

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Almost 400 of these locomotives were produced during the 70s. Thanks to its high power and speed (topped at 140 km/h), its ability to work in multiple with engines from other classes, and a low-speed gear capable of pulling heavy freight trains, it quickly became the most important locomotive in West Germany. With the increasing electrification of railway lines and the popularization of diesel multiple units (trains that have the engines incorporated and therefore do not require separate locomotives), the DB Class 218 progressively focused mostly on freight trains. Also, after the reunification of Germany, it proved useful for the still unelectrified lines in East Germany. For one reason or another, even if they are slowly being replaced by more modern machines, these veteran engines are still in use!



The Class DB 218 was revised in the 80s with the addition of two new exhaust devices, two chimneys that granted the new 218s the nickname of rabbits because they looked like, well, two floppy ears. Our in-game version (which has the same name), however, is more inspired by the first version of this locomotive. It keeps the distinctive solid and bulky shape, as well as its small windows a machine that states clearly that it is 100% ready for any kind of hard work!

EMD F40PH
Amtrak, the operator of most intercity passenger trains in the USA, introduced the EMD SDP40F a diesel-electric train intended to replace the aging diesel locomotives inherited by the company when it was founded, and therefore to become the most important engine for passenger trains in the US. However, in just a few years several derailments started to break the confidence of the company in this locomotive. The weight of the steam generators used for heating, the vibration of baggage cars whatever the reason, this machines derailed one time after another, and railroads started banning it for good until Amtrak decided to move on to another diesel locomotive that was in use on short-distance lines: the EMD F40PH. With its B-B wheel configuration, a high power output, and a maximum speed range of 166 to 177 km/h, it rose to the challenge so well that the F40PH were in production until as late as 1998.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

The EMD F40PH is still in service in commuter railroads, especially in Canada, where they are the main pillar of the Canadian railway company Via Rail long-distance trains up to the point that it was featured in the Canadian $10 bill! More than 500 of these engines have been produced (including variants), and its longevity has led to all kinds of conversions, additions, rebuildings, and customizations. They have been used mostly for long-distance trains, but also in short-line and freights. The Trains magazine estimated that each of them has traveled 282,000 km per year on average!



In its in-game cousin (his name is The Chief) you can find the strong lines of its front and the curved windows that make it look, if not angry, at least starkly determined to get to its destination no matter what. A serviceable and powerful train that picked up the gauntlet when the opportunity came, The Chief rose to the challenge and became a staple for trains in North America.
With this locomotive, we end the diesel era. As we will see in the next post in this series, in the 80s the most important railway lines started to be electrified, and with that, the new electric trains started to become the standard. Well discover this new era in the history of locomotives next week until then, enjoy the ride! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - March 18

Greetings friends! The schedule of our meetings has been changing lately (stay tuned), but the day of the release of Choo-Choo Weekly remains the same. Today is Monday, which means its time to take stock of the past week in the workshop. Today's winners are familiar to you, they show us their skills again. Let's see what they have prepared for us this time!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1682543945 Stone Island, massive gates at the entrance to the bay, ready infrastructure it seems, this is a reality show, and you participate! @reg promises us computers, but first, you have to go to the mines, and also graze cattle and work in factories. Just one city! The producer insists on strictly following the script (and tracks). By the end of the shift, you will open the long-awaited shopping. Try to finish in 35 minutes to collect all the stars. And @reg gets another place in the Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1684028936 A beautiful map from @alphrost, the story of two twin customs and the lands behind them, which are so symmetrical but not that similar at the same time. One half is about liquid energy, the other is about the solid. They are forced to constantly exchange resources, so look, dont confuse the gate! They are so similar Make these cities friends in 30 minutes, dont allow any accidents and false deliveries. Featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1680781503 And today's winner is "Men In Uniform". Wear your sunglasses (as well as a protective suit) and go on a special mission: you need to deliver a piece of rare uranium isotope to your paymaster. The scale of preparation for the task is impressive: you need to bribe as many as 5 customs officers, and the closer they are to the uranium supplier, the higher their requests. It is a pity that there is no one to pay for extra coal It seems that this fierce action, unfolding in a picturesque gorge, will be later seen in the next part of James Bond so smile wider! You have to make it in 24 minutes, never confuse directions and avoid all accidents and this special operation will bring you all 5 stars. Great story, @wantok, 10$ Steam Gift Card is yours!

These are the results of this week. We are waiting for you on Friday at our fiery competition Let's play together. Its results will be available on Saturday, and after that, you will receive a fresh issue of our historical chronicle. Dont miss, a lot of interesting things are ahead! Choo-choo!

Locomotive 4-1

Greetings train lovers! In the
last entry in our blogs about the history of locomotives, we traveled to the United States and the United Kingdom to discover two iconic machines, the EMD-FP7 and the British rail class 37. They were the last ones from the first wave of diesel machines, the 3rd generation of locomotives that you will find in Train Valley. After these first years during which diesel engines were perfected and spread worldwide, they became the standard for the decades to come and actually, there are still many diesel locomotives in use all over the world as we are about to see in this blog because todays machines are still in service!

VR Class Dv12
Lets travel to the cold north to discover the first locomotive of the fourth generation, the VR Class Dv12, which as of today is still the standard diesel-hydraulic locomotive of the Finnish railway network. The Dv12 was built as a general purpose locomotive, both for passenger and freight work. With a B-B wheel configuration (two trucks with two powered axles), the interconnection of its axles (that makes for an individual axle to slip pretty much impossible) give this locomotive great traction for its weight. In spite of having a comparatively low power of only 1000 kW, the Dv12 allows for just one crew to operate two or even three units at the same time.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Thanks to its versatility the Dv12 didnt become obsolete until all the main lines of the Finnish railway network were electrified. 192 of these locomotives were built during two decades until they went out of production in 1984. However, many of them are still in use, if mostly in unelectrified and less frequented side lines. Sometimes they are called back from the bench to pull cargo trains or do shunter work (moving wagons and railroad cars around for assembling or disassembling trains in classification yards). The oldest active Dv12 is 56 years old and there are no plans to retire them for good in sight. The good ole Dv12 still has some fight in it!


And here you have the in-game counterpart of the Dv12! Look at the windows and the long front that make it look a bit like the muzzle of a (slightly worried) animal, but above all at the characteristic design of the horizontal white line. This locomotive is ready to cross any field, snow-covered or not!

In the next issue of our blog, we will continue our acquaintance with fourth-generation diesel locomotives. We will visit Germany and the USA and finally discover an unknown specimen of the orange locomotive! See you soon! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - March 11

Hello everyone! Youre reading the new issue of Choo-Choo Weekly. The theme is tales and myths. In different eras, people believed in a variety of legends (and they still do). In some places these beliefs developed into customs and rituals, in some countries, people still naively believe that spring begins in March, for example. For a part of our development team spring has not arrived yet, though it definitely feels like the exit of Train Valley 2 from Early Access is pretty close. Let's leave them with these feelings for now, let's see what the workshop is rich with this week!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1675183334 Let's go to the legendary lake Guatavita. The thirst for wealth leads many travelers to these lands, the local tribes make many obstacles for them. To get to the middle of the lake and raise the gold from the bottom, you will have to slowly prepare for this hike: the Muisca require offerings and sacrifices in order to open the gates. Many sacrifices! By the end of the journey, you may find that gold has not made you rich enough to get all 5 stars. Continue to perform the ritual and the gods will give you a star. This meditative map from @unclekrusty slowly goes to Features.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1674251712 @h2onik plunges us into another myth. In the center of the landscape is Olympus, a mighty mountain where the gods have gathered to make a feast. Mortals are crawling under them, trying to provide for themselves and feed the Olympians. The gods have an excellent appetite, and man is weak and his age is short. But what is this black water? The old man Charon became so lazy that he built a bridge over the Styx for the transfer of souls and made a ticket window on his boat, now he sits in it and says: "Dear deads, pay the fare!". Well, in fairness it should be noted that he clearly improved the service. Thank you @h2onik for an interesting story, the map goes to our local Olympus!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1675764246 The author of the best map @striker700 does not make explicit references to any specific myth that formed its basis, but Hermes and Mercury (as well as guys from Wall Street) certainly inspired him. We have to go the way of a poor but lucky investor in order to start managing really big money. We see a cramped industrial district, a port, and there is a desert mountainous area across the cascade of dams. Sometimes the road passes in unexpected places don't be afraid to experiment! Before passing through the red wall, remember the advice of Mrs. Weasley gave Harry. Exciting routes, an interesting financial balance, and a great storyline a 10$ gift card is sent to @striker700!

We're waiting for your latest works. Maybe we'll see maps with new letters soon. What did you want to write all this time? Well see next week!
Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Locomotives 3-2 and 3-3

Greetings train lovers! Our weekly look at the history of locomotives is back. Last week we unveiled the 3rd generation of locomotives: the Diesel Era that dethroned coal and steam in the mid-60s. We learned more about the TE3, a locomotive that started as a knockoff but quickly became the staple engine in the USSR for decades. Today well cross the Iron Curtain to discover two Western machines: one from the US and a second from the UK. Just as the TE3, both of them were diesel-electric: engine and wheels were not mechanically connected; instead, the engine drove an electrical generator, which in turn powered the traction motors. Hop in, take your seat and enjoy the ride!

The EMD FP7
The United States of America had started to develop Diesel-powered engines in the 30s. The American Locomotive Company (ALCO) pioneered this endeavor by producing custom streamliners (custom engines designed for specific purposes). General Motors decided to join very soon after seeing their success, so they started producing standardized locomotives under the banner of their subsidiary Electro-Motive Company, later rebranded as Electro-Motive Division. In 1935 they started building their E- and F-units line of locomotives for passenger trains. They quickly became popular, but they had a problem: their wheel arrangement made them less useful when crossing mountainous terrain. The newly designed F locomotive addressed that problem, with a B-B wheel arrangement (two trucks with two powered axles), but there was another issue with them: they used a steam generator for heating passenger trains in long travels and there just wasnt enough space in the F7 for the extra water. They tried to fit water tanks here and there, even putting them in the baggage cars and piping the water to the engines but at some point, they just acknowledged the problem and designed the FP7 which is pretty much just a 1.2 meters-longer F7!

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Check the side of the locomotive in this picture: can you see theres a large distance between the first side porthole and the first filter grille? Thats where the extra space for the water tank was added. The corresponding extra space under the body either remained empty or was filled with another water tank that looked like a transversal barrel. 381 FP7 were produced for 4 years to made different routes all over the United States. They, along with their smaller (but more popular) sisters the F7 locos, remained in service until the 70s (a bit longer in Canada). Thanks to this, its shape (and that of the F7) is one of the easier to recognize by American train lovers, being now entrenched in the popular memory of the whole continent.



And what about our in-game version? Here you have it, with his high front, double windows, and frontal lantern and lights, making it look a bit like a dogs muzzle. As you can see, there is also a lot of space between the portholes, and the long longitudinal grille is also very recognizable.

The British Rail Class 37 The tractors
By the 50s, the British railway system was a bit of a mess slow, unreliable, operating at a loss and even unsafe. The government decided to bring it up to date and take measures to make it more attractive, both to passengers and freight operators. The main measure to be taken was the quick substitution of steam machines for diesel locomotives: it took them less than 10 years to produce implement up to 2,500 engines. Sadly, this haste meant that there was no time for proper research and development, building and testing prototypes thoroughly, etc and actually, the whole plan is now regarded by historians as an incredibly expensive failure, but thats another story.
The Class 37 was one of these machines. The company English Electric had some experience producing locomotives for railways in East Africa; they adapted one of their designs and presented it to the authorities. The design was quickly accepted and even more quickly produced: they didnt even bother with building and testing prototypes! Luckily, they worked well enough so well that some of them still remain active in different duties.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

This machines had a Co-Co wheel arrangement, a common wheel arrangement with six-wheeled bogies with all axles powered by separate traction motors (similar to the TE3, which had two of these). Capable of hauling heavy trains without problems, they were used for pretty much everything, from passenger lines to freight work; so they became one of the most popular in the British islands, especially in Scotland and the East Anglia region where they formed the backbone of the InterCity services. Train lovers nicknamed them as Tractors because of the sound of its engine. And the story goes that a Class 37 loco is haunted by the ghost of a driver who was killed by an object thrown from a train passing in the other direction if you are in a British train and a horn blows by itself, or a fire bottle randomly sets off, maybe you are riding the infamous British Cursed Loco



Its in-game counterpart features no ghost, but you surely can recognize the shape and design of the Class 37 in it. See the curved triple window in the front, the short square front with its stoppers, and how the roof goes down again in its back.
Thats all for this week! See you soon with the next entry in our history of locomotives, when we will see more modern diesel machines from the 60s and 70s. Enjoy the ride! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - March 4

Hello friends! It's a new month and new race for a place on the cover of Train Valley Time. There are more and more game mechanics, the authors are finding new uses for old features and give us a fresh look at the game. Let's sum up the first week!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1666962362 A need has led man to dangerous lands. Previously, shamans called these rocks the Land of Grief, however, it didn't deter pirates from encroaching on the impressive treasure reserves. Nowadays, there are warehouses, markets and enterprises of heavy industry. It seems there is nothing mysterious if it were not for these trains with energy ... well, that's mystical. Leave them crashing on the rocks, better to attract investments to start production. Your trains will have to literally squeeze between sharp peaks and do not mistake the gates, or your trains will not be able to maneuver on a narrow path. Nice colors, an unusual way to supply electricity, and cool design @striker700 drive into the Featured on his steam cabrio!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1668061099 Today, the sponsor of relaxation for your eyes is @gemanera. The Fifty Rails of Gray map initially leads us into nostalgic melancholy with its restrained palette, colored groves, as if from different seasons, and slow trains, but it gets hotter over time. Moving up in a circle, we have to go through customs, and each of them has bizarre requests: one wants dynamite, others want ore, and the fourth needs books of all things. What would we do without markets? Get to the last city in 28 minutes and three stars will be yours! Of course, no accidents and wrong deliveries. And the work of the February winner @gemanera is traditionally sent to Featured.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1669074561 This week's winner is Party at the Customs Post! @reg gives us all the railroads but leaves no money at all. It seems that everything is predetermined here, but no: you have a lot of opportunities to optimize traffic. The main obstacle is customs, but customs officers celebrate something, so they invite everyone to join them and don't want to work at all. We'll have to figure out how oncoming trains with workers will disperse with freight trains. Which market to build first? And who will make the rubber? An interesting quest and a beautiful picture bring @reg 10$ Steam gift card. Great job, congratulations!

That's all! Don't forget that your map besides of being featured can also become a track for our new Let's play together competitions. Create, share your results and join our cozy Discord server.

Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Locomotive 3-1

Good day train lovers! In the last post in our series about the history of locomotives, we talked about the P36 and the DRB Class 41, two of the best-known machines from the last years of steam-powered engines. From a romantic point of view, those were the golden days of locomotion, when daring entrepreneurs and engineers crisscrossed the world with railroad networks and trains were symbols for freedom and progress. Trains needed to negotiate through difficult terrains with increasingly bigger loads, and at some point, engineers realized that steam locomotives had serious limitations in terms of power. As you know, a steam engine burns combustible (in the case of the locomotives, coal) in order to boil water so as to use the pressure caused by the steam to push pistons. In these engines, heat loss is a huge disadvantage that set serious limitations to their power. So they started working in internal combustion engines which, in its early versions, started using kerosene and gasoline as their fuel, until a nice gentleman called Rudolf Diesel patented his first compression ignition engine.
After some more iterations, these engines improved its performance and reduced its size and weight enough to be mounted in a locomotive. Technically speaking, diesel is not the right term for a type of fuel, but a kind of engine. Anything that can power a diesel engine is called diesel by extension, and funny enough, these prototypes didnt run on petroleum-derived liquids but on peanut oil! Soon, the advantages of diesel engines started to become clear: they could be operated by just one person, where at least two were needed in the case of steam engines; a single crew could control many locomotives in a train, thus increasing dramatically its load capacity when needed. Diesel engines can be started and stopped almost instantly which means shorter and easier stops with zero fuel cost and no cooldown times. They needed less maintenance, could work in freezing cold, were easier to repair By 1925 there were already diesel locomotives implemented in the US, and they started spreading slowly to South America and Europe. The Second World War practically stopped the building and adoption of diesel engines, but when it passed, the whole world started enthusiastically adopting them. From the 70s onward, they became the new standard until the introduction of electric trains.
Today were going to start with one of the first post-Second World War diesel locomotives: the TE3 (3 in Cyrillic alphabet), built in the USSR for the first time in 1953.

The TE3
(Photo from Wikipedia)

During the Second World War, 70 RSD-1 diesel locomotives, designed by the American Locomotive Company, were shipped to the USSR to be used in ordinary line service. Also, these engines were shipped to Iran for use on the Trans-Iranian Railway. They were diesel-electric, that is, they burnt fuel to produce electricity, and that electricity, in turn, powered the traction motors. When the war ended the Soviets kept many of these engines, and Stalin ordered to reverse-engineer them to adapt them to the metric system and Soviet norms and regulations. Thus was born the TE1, which was pretty much a knockoff of the RSD-1; in 1953 they started prototyping the third iteration, and three years later the TE3 entered mass scale production.
The TE3 is a CoCo+CoCo machine, which means (these wheel arrangement notations are crazy) that it had two units with two six-wheeled bogies (a chassis with a wheelset) with all axles powered, with a separate motor per unit. Its a common enough wheel arrangement, most suited to heavy freight work because of its good traction. Lets remember the harsh climate of the USSR, where ice and snow were not precisely uncommon this locomotive surely made use of the traction provided by its extra wheels!
Its main weakness was its difficulty to work with variable loads, which lead to constant power cuts, as well as its tendency to overheating resulting in water losses from the cooling circuit. When this happened in water-deprived regions of the USSR, engine drivers were forced to use diesel as coolant which, as you surely imagine, its a fire waiting to happen. In spite of this, the TE3 became rapidly popular, and in time it became the most widely spread locomotive in the USSR. Almost 6,800 were built until it went out of production in 1973.


Our in-game version is this locomotive with a similar sturdy and pragmatic design a no-nonsense machine that will get you and your load there through snow, ice and sleet. The plow, as well as the frontal lights and lantern, will surely remind you of the TE3.

Thats all for today! In the next entry of this series, were traveling to the other side of the Iron Curtain to learn more about a couple of American and British diesel locomotives.

Weekly Winner - February 25

Hello friends! The news feed is full of photos of the happy winners of the Oscars, it's time for us to take stock of the past week.

The awards for "Landscape" and "Writing" go to Complementary Sides by @angryxpeh.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1661250995 This is a story about two rich cities, separated by a deep ragged gorge. Only one bridge can connect them, and the mayors want to hire you to build a universal railway network. In the beginning, you will have to inspect the main factories and then you will have to get raw materials for them. You will use all engineering solutions for laying the ways, and prepare your gear there will be many descents and ascents. This work definitely deserves a star on the Walk of Fame.

Today @gemanera becomes the best production designer with a picture Canal Frenzy.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1662344617 This is a colorful play about islands, which are linked to each other by a multitude of obligations. You will tangle this relationship even more. Dont get lost in it! Shopaholics will especially like this map because you will spend a lot of money and do it often. Perhaps we should add an award for makeup, what do you think? Featured!

And the best map of this week is Reading on the Beach.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1659596802 After a heavy shift in the ice mines, you want to relax on a warm beach with your favorite book. However, you have to pay considerable duties to the customs, so they let the delivery to our library through. It seems that the customs officers with the merchants are clearly in collusion. We need to build many factories and entangle them with roads from all sides to finally break into the long-awaited vacation. @wantok gets a gold statuette 10$ for an interesting idea and the use of new objects. Congrats!

This ends our ceremony. We hope that each work of our authors inspires you to press the play green button of the level editor in the Workshop.
See you soon! Stay Tuned!

Locomotives 2-2 and 2-3

Good day, friends, and welcome to our series of historical blogs about the history of locomotives! In the last post, we traveled to the Far East to discover the D51, a wonderful Japanese locomotive from what we call the Silver Steam Era. You can check the previous entries of this series here and here. Today, we go back to Europe to discover two very iconic locomotives from Germany and Russia and their in-game counterparts. Passengers aboard, were leaving the station!

The DRB Class 41: the Ochsenlok
Back in 1931, the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (the German National Railway) started looking for a new, more powerful locomotive that could substitute the Prussian ones (like the P8 we already talked about), about to be withdrawn by then, as a fast goods train locomotive. They were looking for a 2-8-0 wheel configuration (two leading wheels, eight powered wheels) capable of moving around 18 tons of axle load. The German manufacturer of locomotives Berliner Maschinenbau offered them a different design, a 2-8-2, that could achieve that performance with more ease. The DRG approved it, and thus the DRB Class 41 was born.
Well, it wasnt that easy, to be fair. It took them six years to come up with two working prototypes, and then a year of tests before it started full-scale production. These two prototypes were used to transport cattle trains to Berlin, and that got these engines the moniker of the Ochsenloks: the Oxen Locos. They were relatively cheap and easy to manufacture, thanks to the design principle of Einheitsdampflokomotive: a standardization process that started in the 20s when the newly-founded DRG decided to fix the mess that was its fleet, with more than 210 types of steam engines. If you ever struggle with Train Valley 2, just think of the engineers who had to manage that many trains!

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Thanks to this strive for standardization, every single locomotive manufacturer in German participated in building the DRB Class 41 and that allowed them to manufacture a lot of engines comparatively fast. The start of the Second World War reduced the interest in fast goods train locomotives so much that by 1941 they stopped building them but in those three years, 366 Class 41 were produced. After the war, two-thirds of these engines went to West Germany and one third to the East, with some odd ones sent to Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR.


The in-game version of the Ochsenlok is easily recognizable for following the principles of the Einheitslokomotiven, with its iconic large Wagner smoke deflector, its black locomotive frame and red wheels, and long boiler with a short chimney. Looks powerful enough to take some cattle in record time to Berlin, right? It needs a name, mind you send us your best ideas!

The P36: the General
From Germany, we hop on a train (of course) on its way to the USSR during the 50s to discover the Soviet passenger steam locomotive class P36. The last mainline steam locomotive built in Russia, the General (a nickname that it got thanks to the gold stripe down its side which reminded of the decorations on a generals shoulder) was a powerful 4-8-4: four leading wheels, eight powered and coupled driving wheels, and four trailing wheels.
By the early 40s the Soviet passenger fleet consisted mainly of engines of the class Su 2-6-2, designed two decades before, which were reliable but not powerful enough for long passenger trains. Then they were substituted by the class IS (named after Iosef Stalin), powerful but with a higher axle loading that made it incompatible with a lot of lines. When the Second World War ended and the Soviet economy recovered, the passenger traffic increased, which convinced the authorities that the USSR railroad network needed a new engine class for its passenger trains.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

After some different proposals, the first prototype of the P36 was built in 1950 and tested thoroughly at the outskirts of Moscow. The machine was powerful, fast, and efficient; after some more prototypes and a few tweaks, the P36 started its mass production until, just three years later, the 20th Communist Party Congress decided to stop steam locomotive construction and switch for electric and diesel-electric locomotives. On June 29, 1956, a P36 with the serial number 10420 left the workshop with a sign written on its smokebox door: 1869 - 10420 - 1956 Last steam locomotive built by Kolomna Works. It was the last steam locomotive built in the Soviet Union but it would be in active service with stakhanovist determination until 1974.


And heres our in-game version of the P36. You can see the iconic stripe, the red star on its front, and the red plow and wheels. Our locomotive is blue instead of green (we need to keep one color for all the locos in the generation), but it shows similar sleek and futuristic lines. This machine surely commands respect!
Thats all for today! See you soon in the next entry of our history of locomotives, where we will jump to a new era of the history of the railroad.

Weekly Winner - February 18

Hello everyone! The end of winter is coming, and your warm summer maps make it feel even closer. A lot of markets have opened this week and we enjoyed visiting each of them. Whats in the shopping bag?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1653777770 Sea, beach, shopping... on an island. But not all at once! We'll have to work hard to save up for the first bridge, and we need as many as four. You need to think about whether you need more trains early on. Shopping Island serves as the main road junction. The surrounding sea attracts the eye and makes you look into the dark, dark waves. Blue is so deep and mysterious that it seems as if there is one more sea underneath. Or so it is?
You have a little more than 10 minutes to get three stars, and @h2onik gets featured once more.


https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1654579187 There is only one city among snow and ice, the author asks to keep it warm and fed. And you should, because trains are in short supply, and people are freezing while looking at the cold blue ocean. There is only one market nearby, but it sells polymers. Some resources are being transported from the mainland, on rare patches of fertile soil, a snowman and a deer graze cattle. You'll have to deftly alternate the dispatch of workers and supply of resources. Can you run all winding roads in 27 minutes? Frosty map from @reg goes to featured!

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1653368999 And the winner of this week is Around the Volcano. @gemanera leads us into the world of hardworking people who highly value their knowledge and labor. Two self-sufficient cities around the volcano require the very best and they don't stint on it. To live and work in this Atlantis of John Galt, you need to follow two simple rules: no crashes and no wrong deliveries. But that's not all! To exchange products, you need to deliver a special paper to customs. Its rumored that at night they throw it into the volcano. Despite serious expenses, at the end of the race you will earn a large amount of money, and @gemanera gets a deserved 10 on Steam.

It was a great week! Were sure that soon well see even more interesting works that use new mechanics.
Stay tuned! Choo-choo! tv2cartvvagontv2loco

Locomotive 2-1

Greetings friends! In the last couple of weeks weve talked about what we called the Golden Steam era: the years of expansion of the railroad when trains became not just a means of transportation but a symbol for progress, hope, and even freedom. Today we tackle the next period, and again we will talk about some of the historical inspirations for the locomotives you can find in Train Valley 2. This second generation of machines goes from 1920 to 1950. Since they were still powered by coal and steam, we will call it the Silver Steam era. Pack up and prepare for a long trip, because for the first locomotive well talk about we have to cross the globe and travel to the Far East!

The Class D51
Lets go to Japan! The Class D51 was a Japanese 2-8-2 locomotive: it had two leading wheels on one axle, then eight powered and two driving wheels in four different axles, and finally two trailing wheels in another axle. While usually the firebox (where locomotives burnt coal) was placed above the driving wheels, the 2-8-2 arrangement put it behind them, which allowed a larger firebox and therefore more power and higher speeds. This arrangement was first called the Mikado in the West after a previous Japanese locomotive (the Western nickname changed to the MacArthur during the World War II for obvious reasons).

(Photo from Wikipedia)

The Japanese railway system was built and operated by the imperial government with military and political ends, as a means to connect distant feudal communities in order to establish the central imperial power. Thus, it wasnt only a means of transportation for goods and service: it was a political instrument and a symbol of power, a way to tell everyone that the Emperor authority reached the last corners of Japan. The Class D51 was built from 1936 to 1951, and it was designed by no other than Hideo Shima, a legendary engineer: he was the driving force and inspirator behind the creation of the first bullet train! Because of the war efforts, many parts that were meant to be built in steel were substituted by wood but in spite of that, they kept circulating until 1975. They were almost exclusively deployed in Japan, although a small number of them deployed in Russia, Korea, and Taiwan were seized and used after the Japanese retreat at the end of World War II.



Train Valley 2s in-game counterpart is this beauty. You can see the similarities in the front: the circular smoke box door, the lantern and a feedwater heater; after it comes the chimney, and finally the uninterrupted covering for the upper sand box, feedwater and steam dome. How would you call our first Eastern locomotive?

The map requires a lot of attention to railroad switches and the correct order of production. Take into account, if you want to get 5 stars demolishing of tracks and stopping of trains are strictly prohibited! One advice from our team: send all the resources to all the productions that require electricity and only then start the power station! Great job @Gemanera! 10 Eiffel Towers out of 10! Featured!

And the winner of the week is the level from maestro @h2onik called Being Evil has a price! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1649912413 What price will the city authorities pay for the deal with Him Who Must Not Be Named? As always souls of the innocent people! Quite a creepy theme but just look at the design of the map! Isnt it great? Color scheme perfectly renders the contrast between the green valley and the inferno world. And we only hope that these red rivers and lakes filled with lava The puzzle is nice as well! The customer manager Charon lets the train go to the other side only with the soul contract! An interesting landscape with hidden ways will take some time but the level itself is fast and really fun to beat! Will you dare to challenge the Dark Lord? Congratulations @h2onik! Such a dramatic map! This week 10$ steam gift card goes to Poland!

Thats it for today! Hope to see more great levels with new Market production! And we're looking forward to see new names among workshop authors. Maybe it is you who will win the prize week prize? Jump in! tv2cartvvagontv2loco

Update #18 - The Market

Hello friends! Hope you are well! Here comes our new update. As were promised we are introducing a new object with a new mechanic. Please meet the Market. The concept is pretty simple and transparent: in the Market, you can buy resources for money. It can be a great alternative to the Port if you need to bring some resource to the map without the whole production chain. And the custom price can make it a great tool to balance the economics of the level. Hope you will find an awesome application for this mechanics in your levels.

Features added:
- The Market object.



I should remind you that the majority of new features and objects will be available with new 20 levels on full game release. We are working on it right now.

Please let us know if you face any problems with this update. We are here to help as always.

Stay tuned! tv2cartvvagontv2loco

Weekly Winner - February 5

Hello friends! We have lots of good news for you this week! First of all, Lunar New Year is here, and with it another Steam sale! Check out our discounts during this sale! Remember soon the price will get higher. And our new issue of Choo-Choo Weekly is out! And our top three workshop contributors for this week are:

3. @Vulcon - Build That Wall
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1642219200 What if two neighboring states are separated from each other by customs? And then one of them decides to build a wall? At the beginning of the level, you will have only $1,000 and two locomotives, and you will need to complete the building of three unfinished facilities, each at $ 35,000. In each of the built productions, there are already 35 finished products. This will be of help in the creation of building materials. After that, transporting the workers and their food to customs has to be dealt with. This thing with double customs is awesome! Also you will have a task to destroy 2 trains and save up to $ 6,000,000. Passing this map will bring you a huge amount of pleasure! For more hardcore players, there is a Fast version! Great job, Vulcon! This goes to our favorites!
P.S. Do not build a brick factory until you accumulate enough resources at customs. Trains with bricks will depart very quickly!

2. @reg Flying Saucers https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1640645621 What if aliens were to attack your city? How would you react? A small map, with already laid paths to each production, the difficulty lies in the management of trains and in the arrows. Tasks do not stop the train and managing to send the train to the correct station only adds voltage to the gameplay! The use of new resources, new options for choosing the color of water and an excellent design creates the feeling that you are actually in a city occupied by aliens. Deserved second place! Feautred!

And the first place of this week ... Drum roll please!

1. @gemanera - Archipelago https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1640153191 A tropical archipelago, with 4 cities scattered on different islands. There is only $ 5000 in your bank account. But this level is rapidly gaining momentum! The need to build a large number of bridges and transfer resources from one island to another creates a complex logistical task. And the additional task of not destroying a single object makes you think through every step! Great job! First place and a 10 gift card going to @gemanera! Congratulations! Wellcome back to Olymp!

We are working hard on new content friends. Going to give you a new object pretty soon. Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Locomotives 1-2 and 1-3

Greetings friends! In the last post in our series about the history of locomotion, we introduced you to the Golden Steam era when railroads started expanding and covering the whole world. We also talked about the first locomotive in the game and its historical counterpart, the beautiful Jupiter, the first train that crossed America from coast to coast. Today we want to show you the second and the third locomotives of this era, and the real-world machines they were inspired by.

The Claud Hamiltons and the B4 class locomotives
England is one of the most important countries in the history of the railroad after all, it was an Englishman who invented the first high-pressure steam engine, and steam locomotives were developed in Great Britain during the 19th century. The UK still holds the honor of keeping the oldest operational railway: the Middleton Railway, which has been working since 1758 (although, truth be told, only for recreational and historical purposes now).
But the locomotives we want to introduce you to do not haul from this early days, but the early 20th century. The first one is the Claud Hamilton, a 4-4-0 steam locomotive named after the chairman of the Great Eastern Railway. It is universally considered one of the classic locomotive designs: you will surely recognize its iconic cylinder-shaped locomotive with big wheel arches that remind of the art-deco style.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Claud Hamilton shares some traits with the locos of the B4 class. Both of them were powerful machines, capable of hauling the heaviest trains, be them full of passengers or goods. The B4 and its revision, the B4X, were slightly more powerful, but the Claud Hamiltons were much more popular: only 33 B4 / B4X were built, against 121 Claud Hamiltons.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

This is the in-game counterpart of those two beautiful machines. As you can see, it features their long, sleek body, as well as its big wheel arches.
Again, it could use a nickname let us know if you have any ideas!



The Prussian P 8
This German locomotive was so successful that, having been built for the first time in 1908, it has been in service until the 70s. More than 3,700 were manufactured and sold all over Europe, and more than 500 P 8 engines were in service for 50 years. Not bad for an old steam machine, huh? It used a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement (four leading wheels on two axles and six powered and coupled driving wheels), a setup that had been really popular in the USA known under the name of "Ten-wheeler".
The iconic aspect of the P 8 comes from its practicality: its inventor, engineer Robert Garbe, was a no-nonsense type of guy who just wanted the simplest and most efficient design. Thanks to the superheated steam technology, it was really fast for its time (up to 100 km/h), so Garbe wanted it to be as aerodynamic and easy to drive as possible.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

As you can see, its in-game counterpart shares some characteristics: check the two steam domes behind the chimney, for instance. Steam domes were a measure of security, a way of keeping the main steam pipe above the level of water to minimize the risk of water entering the cylinders of the engine. Although locos tended to have just one steam domes, the P 8 featured two. Theres another important (if subtle) difference: the drivers cab was tapered to give it lower wind resistance.



Now, how should we call this little machine? Its up to you, engineers!

Thats all for today and for the Golden Steam era! In the next post of this series well talk about locos of later Silver Steam era. Stay tuned! tvloco

Weekly Winner - January 28

Hello everyone! We are really sorry about delay with Choo-Choo Weekly. Hope you was waiting for it )) One more winter month is nearly over. Soon days will be longer and sun will shine brighter. In the meantime, we are ready to tell you about new levels from our workshop! Lets go!

What would you say about the level where all necessary track are already laid down? This concept was implemented in the level called Blue Sea by @reg: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1631385433 Map looks great: a large metropolitan area an industrial districts with factories and plants and some farms with cattle grazing around. A lot of details make this level really live. It is a fast-paced and simple level with possibility to create alternative shortcuts to improve the time. Great work from the debutant of our workshop. Featured!

How can river canals coexist with railroad transportation? This is an interesting question and a main theme of new level by @wantok: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1631003457 Six islands, six manufactures, customs, and two cities on different shores: that is what we have to start with. Maybe you would say that the map is a bit empty, but this spare space allows to experiment with new tracks and pretty soon the map become covered with a web of tracks and trains. Try it our yourself! Definitely featured!

And the final chord of our digest is the map RAILSHOT by @Striker700: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1634151341 This beatifull level features a picturesque forests and mountains as well as deep blue lakes and seas.
In order use customs you will have to spend $250K for a store sending trains with dynamite (!). And taking into account the task to prevent accidents it is getting really challenging. Interesting logistics, great work with tunnels, impressive attention to details. Just look at those flags in the corners of the map! Really great job, @Striker700! Well deserved first place of the week and a 10$ steam gift card are yours!

That is all for today! And we are waiting for your new works (some really interesting levels are already published).
Stay tuned! Choo-choo! tv2conductor

Locomotive 1-1

Hello everyone! As you surely know, Train Valley 2 (and its predecessor in the series, Train Valley) is a game inspired by the history of railroads, but not exactly a historical game. We have tried to capture the essence and spirit of every historical period and its iconic locomotives, but we have taken some artistic liberties in the process. However, we think that all our players here might be interested in taking a sneak peek behind the curtains and discovering the beautiful machines that inspired locomotives in Train Valley 2. Today we start a series of blog posts where we talk about the historical counterparts of the locomotives included in the game. Enjoy the ride!

1st Generation: the Golden Steam era (1850-1910)
We have called this first generation the Golden Steam era because these were the years of the expansion of the railroad. Although locomotives were invented decades before this period (and steam machines much earlier than that), the first railways were not built until the 20s. It took some time for enthusiastic engineers to crisscross the lands with their railroads, but eventually trains started moving around people and goods, changing the face of the world (literally and figuratively speaking) forever. By 1850 they had become not just a means of transportation, but a symbol of progress, science, change a promise of wealth and freedom for thousands of people who dreamed of jumping on one of these trains to start looking for a new life.

The Jupiter
The first locomotives we drew inspirations from comes from this era: the beautiful machine officially called Central Pacific Railroad #60, a 4-4-0 steam locomotive. But best known as the Jupiter, it became famous for being the first locomotive to meet at the Promontory Summit in Utah during the historical Golden Spike ceremony that celebrated the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad, which crossed the United States from East to West. As you can see below, it features 4 leading wheels and 4 driving wheels (thats what the 4-4-0 numbers stand for), and a magnificent modernist design that, for todays standards, makes it look almost fairytale-like. This locomotive was in service until 1901, when it was sadly scrapped the picture you can see below (taken from Wikimedia) comes from the replica in display at the Golden Spike National Historic Site.

(Photo from Wikipedia)

Our in-game counterpart is this little friend here. It keeps its toy-like aspect, like the mental picture that we all have when we think of old trains from the Wild West era. You can easily imagine outlaws trying to aboard it, right? Rest assured, you wont have to worry about robberies in Train Valley 2! Our first locomotive features the Jupiters characteristic big conic chimney and its frontal lantern, although the red pilot (cowcatcher) looks more like Jupiters sister engine, Leviathan., come to think of it, we dont have a special nickname for it Why dont you help us choose one? Leave us your suggestions in the comments section!



In the next post of this series we will talk about the second (1-2) and third (1-3) locomotives of the Golden Steam Era.
See you soon, friends!
Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - January 21

Hello everyone! Welcome to the new issue of Choo-Choo Weekly digest! Probably you have already seen our last rainbow update? We were happy to know that it was reflected in new workshop maps! And by the way we have a two winners this week! Intrigued? Let's go!

What if a level could be a beautiful painting and a nice experience at the same time? Please meet an ethereal "Rainbow Dreams" by @Sugarstar:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1628216577 It's amazing how a simple alternative goal (earn 600K) can significantly change the gameplay! Productions located exactly the way they block tracks and force you to build bridges. Simple short map giving you both aesthetic enjoyment and nice challenge! Featured!

Do you know that tunnels keep stories and ready to tell it everyone who have a patience to listen. Want to discover one of them? Try a new map by @Gemanera: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1630304485 Slow trains, lack of money in the beginning of the level, expensive tunnels necessary to move on. You will feel yourself a detective unraveling the tangle of evidences, moving from one room of old mansion to another. Don't forget to turn on the light! Great job @Gemanera! Definitely featured!

There are levels challenging your endurance! If you like marathons a new map by @Vulcon is right for you! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1627528826 A strict beauty of geometry in the heart of this level. It is playing with heights forcing you to juggle bridges and tunnels. High speed trains and fast productions requires a focus and planning. You will have to seriously think over the sequence of bridges construction to get to the right factory at the right time! Try to beat it in 45 minutes or even challenge the current record by @Yokuyin (33:41). Anyway this great puzzle will help to form some neural connections in your brain! As an exception we want to send 5$ gift card to @Vulcon for this map and his dedicated work last weeks! Congratulations!

And the winner is the second entry of our workshop debutant @domgilvary:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1625659466
Very unusual puzzle dealing with difference between trains capacity and number of goods required. And of cause you will face an extra obstacles: do not stop trains, avoid crashes, do it in 30 minutes. Do you think Dark Souls needed perfect timings? Try this! Be ready to press restart button several times before the level would be conquered (have I mentioned Dark Souls already?). But in the end of the day you will be absolutely happy! Well done @domgilvary! 10$ gift card is yours this week!

Have you already tried the level editor? Workshop is waiting! tvvagontv2cartv2loco

Update #17 - hotfix

Hello everyone! Here is a hotfix to our recent update. Unfortunately the last game build caused problems with progress saving (connected to migration from .net 3.5 to .net 4.0 in Unity engine). This hotfix should solve the issue.

Bugs fixed:
- Problems with progress.

[UPD] Looks like if the progress was rewritten in the last version it would be lost. If not - it should return. Unfortunately we can do nothing with lost progress. The only advise here - to run the game with "-open-level 30" parameter. It will not return stars but all levels would be available.

Sorry for inconvenience. Keep us updated!
Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Update #17 - Color of Water

Hello everyone! We are moving toward the release. And this update will be very colorful! Now water surface can change colour. To do it add a water object and set a hex colour code in the "WaterColour" field. If you don't know where to get color codes just google "hex color codes" or visit a site like this https://www.color-hex.com/.
Other feature is pack of animated animals. Hope it will also help to make your maps a bit more live.

Features added:
- Water with custom color.
- Animals models.

Probably you want to ask us: "Is it all? What did you do all this time, lazy pants?!" Well, we are doing a lot of interesting stuff here, but all this content relates to the last 20 levels. We really want to show you what we are working on right now, but it will spoil the surprise. Thanks for your understanding and patience!
Meanwhile we are looking forward to see your workshop maps with red lava, green swamps and black oil (or with some other unexpected liquids)!

Weekly Winner - January 14

Hello everyone! It is a middle of January and it is time to write a to-do list for a new year. To clean a desktop? Start visiting a gym? Maybe to create your first map in TV2 level editor?
Think about it while we are offering you a set of best levels of this week from authors who have already started to delete cases from their lists. All aboard!

What associations do you have with a phrase "Orange and Purple"? An expensive painting from a gallery of modern art? An apricot-plum smoothie in a hipster's cafe? Not half! It is a new level from @h2onik: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1620276091 Two sities in a valley surrounded by mountains and one more on the other side of misterious black canyon. Maybe it is a dry riverbed or a hole of giant earthworm? Who knows. Taking into account a tiny start-up capital you will have to deal with vast amount of resources and goods, build a new city and at least two bridges. It is a great puzzle for 20-30 minutes of your time! Featured!

What is hidden in earth layers beneath our cities? Maybe that hill is actually a last refuge of the ancient giant? It is the main theme of the new level by @angryxpeh called "Electric Grave": https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1619387027 In this map you will have to get to new productions using a tunnels. And it can be tricky in a multilevel landscape. Locomotives of the first age, prohibition to remove any object and train crashes restriction. All these factors can cause a several restarts before you will entirely complete the level. But it worth trying! Great job @angryxpeh! Featured!

And the winner of this week is well known workshop author @Gemanera with level called "Game of Gates": https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1620303611 Imagine a picturesque valley with two cities decided to build a wall of bureaucracy, excise and duties. It can be a perfect scenario for a customs officials, but it's a nightmare for products suppliers and importers. But who said it would be easy? To complete this level you need to perfect your micromanagement skills. Do not forget to earn a tidy sum of money for a new city and fulfill it's demands. Small advise: try to focus on some certain area first and then move further. Wish you luck and patience!
@Gemanera gets a 10 gift card and our congratulations! Great job!

We are having a lot of fun playing all the published levels! It is a pleasure to see our old friends and a new names among workshop authors! @striker700, @Vulcon, @yaroslav4tv, @unclekrusty, @Hugo, @glen, @domgilvary, @thomas - you are doing good! Keep up great job! A bit of polishing and maybe you will be the winner of the next week! Or maybe the genius is sleeping inside someone reading these words right now? Try to open TV2 level editor this evening. At least it is fun! Remember your year has already started! ;)

Stay tuned! tvvagontvvagontvloco

Meadows, mountain landscapes, a cup of hot cocoa. Sounds like a perfect vacation somewhere in Alps? Try a new "Mountainland" level by @Gemanera: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1613410560 Here you will have to deal with monopoly.

A large number of industries, interesting logistics, this level can challenge your brain! Definitely featured!

And the winner of the week is "IKARUGA" by @Alphrost: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1610344239 This is perhaps one of the most difficult levels in the last few months.

Weekly Winner - December 31

Hello everyone! Here comes a new issue of "Choo-Choo Weekly"! Let's check the portion of featured levels. The last in 2018! All aboard!

Usually there are dozens of ways to complete a level. But @h2onik in the new level named "Three Ways" says that there are only three of them. Well, there is only one way to find out. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1607990133 Cities and key productions are located on different shores separated by water and... customs. This pleasant and relaxing level is taking 3rd place of our weekly top! And you don't need to fill a single customs declaration to play it! Featured!

Want to check how the wall of Mr. Trump on mexican border could look like? It is a main theme of new level from @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley called "Rio Grande": https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1604794032 Level looks gorgeous and contain a certain amount of humour. But you are not going to laugh playing it, at least before the end of the level. Very creative level from maestro @Dudley! Definitely featured!

And the winner of this week is @Gemanera with very french level called "Food Food Food"! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1603471615 A new touristic season have just begun and cities need a lot of food. But to get this food we need to send a lot of gold bars to the customs. Excellent level with multilevel landscape. You will have to think twice before each and every step. And it was the first map using customs object. Congratulations @Gemanera! You have won the last weekly contest of the year and 10 gift card! Bravo!

Happy New Year! Hope it was a great year for everyone of you! Because it was fantastic time for us! And one of the reasons is you - our community. 352 levels uploaded in workshop already! Just think about this number. It is 10 times bigger than number of official campaign levels. More than 60 maps were featured. These levels are really hi-quality entries, that definitely worth your attention!
You brings us so much motivation to move on and keep our quality standards high! So thank you very much for being our players, our co-authors and a part of our friendly train family! You rock! All the best in New Year! tv2conductor

Update #16 - ustoms

Hello everyone! Hope your holidays are great and you've got great presents. Because we have something interesting for you as well! Our next update is dedicated to new game mechanics and new object. Please meet the Customs! The concept is pretty simple. You need to deliver some certain product to the Customs (can be chosen in level editor) and as far as it would be "processing" the way through will be open. In our humble opinion this mechanics opens broad opportunities and allows new combinations with existing elements of the game. We are looking forward to see how you integrate it in your new maps!
Full list of changes in this update is following:

Features added:
- Customs.
- Performance revision. Game should consume less resources and work faster.

Bugs fixed:
- "Safe area" frame was hidden after publishing a level.
- Productions icons located in the left side of the screen were invisible on level preview image.
- Level can be started with spacebar on briefing screen.
- A number of minor issues.

Please note that our main goal right now is the full release of the game. The less bugs or features you see in the updates list - the more time is invested in new productions, new mechanics and new campaign levels.
Also that Customs feature was pretty tricky. We already fixed dosen of bugs connected with it. Please let us know if you find some other issues. We are here to help as always.

And yes we are looking forward to see how your creative mind will use this new object in your new levels! Monthly and weekly contests are waiting for winners! tv2logstv2oiltvhook
Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - December 24

Hello everyone! Do you hear a bells on the street? The smell of the Christmas tree, the crisp sound of snow under your feet? Christmas is all around us! Come closer to the fire, warm your hands and grab our festive issue of "Choo-Choo Weekly"! There is a lot of interesting inside!

Everyone knows how does it feel then you are really waiting for something. Counting days and crossing them off on the calendar every evening. Perhaps this was the idea behind "A Very Special Advent Calendar" level by @Gemanera: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1595125286 The level seems very simple at first glance, but you have to sweat a lot to get 5 stars! A complex chain of resources and factories will force you to take a notepad and work out a logistics plan. Good job @Gemanera! Defiantly featured!

In the next level, we are moving from the snow-covered cities to the hot desert. We need to satisfy both oil producers and archaeologists in this new work of our well known author - @Shadow (the winner of the first TV2 contest) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1596065270 Well, this levels is not for claustrophobes. But lack of space and multilevel landscape brings a really nice challenge to tracks placing. It is a hi-quality relaxing map. And if I am not mistaken, the author planning to make a series of such maps. May the force be with you, @Shadow! Shaking the sand out of the shoes and looking forward the sequels! Featured!

And the winner of this week is @glyinderwust, with a very festive level Christmas Tree - directly from a postcard. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1593878327 Author ingeniously uses the landscape and new workshop objects, creating really beautiful map. Add here challenging puzzle with unobvious sequence of productions, fast timing (about 10 -15 minutes) and you get a perfect Xmas cocktail! A well-deserved first place and a $10 gift card going to Russia this week! Congratulations @glyinderwust!

And we are wishing you Merry Christmas! All the best to you and your loved ones! tvmachinist
Stay tuned! We have a couple of presents for your till the end of the year! tvloco

Weekly Winner - December 17

Hello engineers! Were just two weeks away from New Year! Its time for "Ho Ho" edition of our "Choo-Choo Weekly", with festivities-themed maps inside!

Today we start in the distant shores of Australia. How does the New Year feel in Queensland, in the seaside? @Unclekrusty offers an opportunity to find out! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1589707512 A great beach, the Pacific ocean How could you make it better? With trains of cause! In this great level you will find beach umbrellas and other Australian xmas decorations, as well as a wonderful labyrinths between productions and three cities. But beware, you can only spend $250,000, and you cant touch any object! Featured! Great job @Unclekrusty!

At the very last moment, Maestro @Dudley joins this Choo-Choo Weeklys issue. In this special time, everyone makes levels about Santa Claus and forgets another Christmas hero: the Grinch! In the small town of Hooville, everyone is preparing for Christmas but it is also a hot time for the Grinch, who wants to steal all the gifts and spoil the party. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1592764154 One of the questions you might have spinning in the head playing this map: "Why is there so much pain in a life?". There are lot of productions built literally on top of each other, and the additional goals will make everything even more stressful! Do not stop any trains, do not destroy any tracks Seriously? You will need all your zen to get 5 stars here! But it will be a really satisfying experience! Greenlighted and featured!

And the first place this week goes to (drum roll please) @Gemanera with the level "The 24 Labours of Santa" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1589755949 Christmas Eve is a hard time for Santa and his Elves and for you of cause! At first glance, this level looks like a fairly simple job: make 24 products and 24 decorations in 24 minutes. But dont let this fool you: using additional tasks, author created a very interesting labyrinth that cannot be destroyed! For this great Christmas level we award @Gemanera a 10 Steam gift card! Congratulations!

And we remind you that this week we are going to finish our workshop video guide contest. You still have some time to enter the contest, share your wisdom and win a valuable prize!
So many interesting events ahead! Stay tuned! tv2conductor tvloco

Update #15 - Christmas Spirit

Hello everyone! Here is our Christmas Spirit update. Maybe it is little bit early, but our workshop authors already started this trend. So we are happy to announce an official xmas set for your workshop levels!

Features added:
- A set of new Christmas themed objects for workshop.
- Update of "safe area" frame in level editor. Now there is a notification if production is potentially out of visible area.

Bugs fixed:
- Improved import of custom models. Now it should work better (thanks to @SacrilegeGG).
- Problem with bridge entrance and tracks connection (thanks to @sayakai for this issue).
- Problem with electricity connection if tunnel is built under the bridge entrance (thanks to @Tashathepanda and @Mr. Dudley and others in this thread).
- Now tunnels and bridges can't be built from the same cell.
- Problem with a tunnel located under the station.
- Levels map problem. Now stars are grey (not black) if level was not played.
- Bug with achievements given for ages that are not completed yet (thanks to @(Sveta*Sova))
- "Briefing" typo is fixed.

Please note that we have updated all the previous workshop models so it is crucial to use the latest version of the game to get these models scaled correctly.

Let us know if you face any problems. We are here to help!

Weekly Winner - December 10

Hello Everyone! Wellcome back to our Choo-Choo digest, where we are going to tell you everything about new hot levels directly from our workshop! Full steam ahead!

Let me start from unusual level by @unclekrusty: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1582856295 Level is taking place on TRAIN VALLEY 2 islands. Literally. But do not judge by clothes - in the end of the day we have chosen this map not only because of our narcissism. There is a solid amount of gameplay behind "Archipelogo" concept. Three factories, four cities and the only 7 bridges limit. Quite a challenging puzzle. Try to crack it yourself! Good job @unclekrusty! Featured! tvloco

Four peninsulas connected with bridges. "What can be more trivial?" - you say? Try the "Quarters" by @h2onik: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1581840876 Just look at that "fancy" figure of tracks in the middle of the map! Want to try it already? I should warn you: with that small amount of money on the start there is A LOT of things to solve at the same time. Perfect Guy Julius Caesar simulator for both hemispheres of your brain! And it is just 15 minutes long! Brevity is the soul of wit indeed! Thats why we love maps by @h2onik! Surely featured! tvloco

And this week's winner is @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley, with the level "Looking a Lot Like Christmas!": https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1583318918
Somewhere deep in my soul I was always sure that Santa uses trains on his North Pole Factory. Have you ever wanted to help him with his crunch? Thanks to Mr. Dudley now you have such opportunity! Believe me after this level you will be as stressed as aged elf before pension. tvmachinist Well deserved 10$ steam gift card goes to Gryffindor Mr. Dudley! Wellcome back to the pedestal, maestro!

What a great levels we have this week! Can't even imagine what would be further! And our next update is right behind your chimney! Stay tuned! tv2conductor

Weekly Winner - December 3

Hello Engineers! We are one week closer to Christmas! And it's time to think about decorating your house with some beautiful wreaths, garlands and candles. And we are going to decorate your evening with new great levels from our workshop.

Do you want to travel from Chicago to San Francisco on the Amtrak train? @H2onik provides you such opportunity in the new level called "California Zephyr" https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1580690897 This quick but challenging level with picturesque sunny valley is a perfect fit if you are missing some summer and juggling of trains coming from outside of the screen! Definitely featured! Great job @h2onik!

Do you want to live in a castle surrounded by a moat? Sounds great, right? But what would you do if the bridge is broken? You can try to find an answer in a new colorful map by our award-winning author @Mr. Dudley: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1577985276 This map puts the question squarely in the very beginning. How it is even possible to start with only 3000 in your pocket? And it keeps you in tension throughout all the session (35-50 mins) requiring maximum of your concentration. @Dudley masterfully proves that you don't need a huge map to create interesting puzzles and a serious logistical challenge. Bravo maestro!

And the winner of the week is one more medieval themed level by @Gemanera called "Castle 1.2"! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1577493887 Looks like Castle 1.0 and Castle 1.1 were eaten by workshop langoliers but we are really happy to get the finest version of this scenario. Probably it was inspired by alpine landscapes with beautiful castles high in a mountains with equally empyreal prices for square meter. This map will tell you an intriguing story about people of the valley gathering money to redeem the kidnapped heir to the throne (or invest a billion in cryptocurrencies). Or... you can come up with your own plot trying to manage three cities and plenty of productions at the foot of the mountain with cherished goal on the top. But I can guarantee that you will get a "magnifique" experience playing this workshop gem. Congratulations @Gemanera! 10 steam gift card goes to France this week!

Hope you enjoy our Choo-Choo digest because it is entirely powered by your creativity! And we are waiting for your new great maps because we have a plenty of prizes for you here! Jump in! tvvagontv2cartvloco

We have a time proven cure for your soul. Exactly! Trains! tv2cartvvagontvloco Especially with some great new levels from workshop. Interesting? Let's check them out?

First level for today is "Ravines" by @angryxpeh
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1569504251 Productions of the valley divided by X-type ravines.

Make yourself some tea before launching it. Power plant for 1.500.000? It will definitely require some time! Map gets second place and featuring. Good job!

And the winner of the week is one more famous author - @h2onik with the map called "Sands".
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1574423012 Map based on two high bridges, lack of money and locomotives of the first generation? Can it be fun? It definitely do! Try it yourself! Essence of fun in 20 minutes. @h2onik gets first place this week and 10$ gift card! Congratulations!

Do you want the ultimate challenge? Try to beat the time of @Craig. He is Stig of our workshop: passionate speed-runner perfectionist sharing his time in comments. You think you good? Try to beat @Craig!

Weekly Winner - November 19

Hello Engineers, hope your week started great because we have a lot of cool new workshop maps to tell you about in our new Choo-Choo Weekly digest! ! Let's go!

Winter is coming! So this Monday you are probably thinking about escaping to paradise islands. If so @Gemanera prepared a perfect cocktail for you! Meet "Busy Islands" - a beautiful map with a lot of work to do.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1565425904
5 islands forming a cross, 4 cities among them and a lot of resources required all over the archipelago. An interesting level with a fair amount of micromanagement. Good job @Gemanera!

Can humanity colonise other planets? Will it use trains there? Probably Elon Musk knows the answer. But @h2onik offer her own vision of this problem in "Viva Life on Mars" map:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1567322913
Absolutely adorable panorama of "Red Planet" with craters everywhere and products like uranium and rockets in your demand list. It is a quick map (15-20 mins), with a tricky landscape and really challenging balance! Try it out!

And the winner of this week is ... @The Good, The Bad and The Dudley with the "Metroland" map:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1567985584
This time it is a story about two cities Uplands and the Lowlands competing in their growth. But wise leader will try to keep balance thinking about the wealth of the whole country. This map is a a small puzzle masterpiece challenging your both brain hemispheres. Believe me, victory will be very satisfying!

Well I should say that this week brought as a difficult dilemma. From one hand we appreciate hard work and commitment of all the authors. From the other - Mr. Dudley with his great work this month just don't leave us any chance to support other authors. So we decided to arrange additional prizes. 10$ gift card goes to the winner of this week and two 5$ cards to @Gemanera and @h2onik for their great maps! Hope it will help to support your creativity and the motivation to beat the champion! Mr. Dudley should already feel persistent breathing down his neck. Final is very close. Extremely interesting situation!

Congratulations and thanks to all the authors! You are bringing all the workshop players tons of emotions with every map uploaded! Keep up great work!
See you next week! Stay tuned! tvvagontv2cartv2loco

You will not regret amigo! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1558149355
Also, we recommend you to play another map by the same author called "Little Island". A really neat place in the middle of the map quite soon becomes a red-hot frying pan!

We are following you and already waiting for next maps! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1561357744
One more great map last week is "English Electric" by @The Good, The Bad And The Dudley.

Try it out! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1558196986
And the winner of this week is... for the second time in a row, @The Good, The Bad And The Dudley, with the "Tesla Girls" map!

Hello Engineers! It was a spooky week. Thanks to all the authors for their horrifying creativity and great new levels!

First of all, we want to highlight a new map from @InfoSoph:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1549205097

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1549487378
It's beautiful and full of Halloween spirit (argh... those nasty birds)! A tricky puzzle with bottle neck in the middle of the map and factories separated by landscape.

Hello Engineers! There are a lot of good levels this week. Thanks for all the authors for your passion and creativity!

First of all we want to highlight and feature map from our award winning workshop master @h2onik:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1543719278
Nice using of new map objects from the recent update, as lot of bridges (all of them actually), cool maps design! Great job!
Don't hesitate to follow @h2onik. You will not regret!

One more featured level - work from @Jesus is a brand:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1542343910
This map was close to get the prize. Interesting mechanics (close to exploit) with infinitive trains and a great multilevel geometry of landscape. And quite a high challenge on top of it. Try it out!

And the winner of this week is @Renterain's level with appropriate title:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1540291126
It's a great map requiring a solid multitasking skills! Gameplay forces you to keep a balance between cities and send a lot of trains from one edge of the map to another. It generates intense traffic and requires all your concentration to beat the best time! But after that it leaves you with great sense of satisfaction! You should experience it yourself!
And one more point to highlight: @Renterain is very responsive author, ready to fix problems mentioned by other players in comments. It requires time and patience, but we highly appreciate such dedication because it helps to get really polished levels. Well deserved prize - steam gift card $10. Congratulations!

Hope you enjoy workshop maps and level editor as we do! Looking forward your new great creations this week! Choo-choo! tvvagontvvagontv2loco

Update #12 - Electricity!


Hello everyone! We have a HUGE news for you! Train Valley 2 gets first content update! We were not planning to publish new levels before the release, but you were so active in workshop last months that we decided to release new electricity levels as soon as ready. Electricity is the new game mechanics and a new resource required for hi-level productions. You have to feed power plants (fuel, hydroelectric, and nuclear plants) to keep them producing electricity for other buildings connected to the railroad. It's a pretty simple concept, but it brings a new depth to gameplay. There are also prepared some special events and interactive object on new campaign levels. Hope you will like them! Please let us know your expressions!
Full feature list is following.

Features added:
- 10 new levels of Electric Age.

Update #11

Hello everyone! Sorry for delay, there was a reason for it. We are happy to announce a new workshop category - decoration objects. It was quite a challenging task but we finally did it!
So if you like 3d modelling you can create and add to workshop your own model of favourite building or tree or rock or any other decoration object. Or if you prefer to make levels you can now use assets from workshop. We are offering set of 20+ new models to start with (beach vacation setting). Feel free to use it in any combinations with other objects in the game. Check the new video in our level editor guide describing the process of model uploading.
It is the first but very important step in modding direction. Or next ambitious goals are: custom city districts, custom stations, custom productions, cars and locomotives. We strive to make game as customisable as possible to provide you a great variety of ways to express your creativity!

Also some urgent bugs fixed. Full list follows:

Features added:
- Custom models support in workshop.
- New set of workshop models.

Bugs fixed:
- Stores affect maximum number of trains.
- Trains explode in tunnels crossings.
- Sending trains from station under construction.

ːtvvagonːːtvvagonːːtvtunnelː Congratulations to all the creators, uploaded new levels with store productions to the second levels contest. We are carefully studying and discussing all the levels inside the team and announce winners early next week! Prises are waiting for you! ːtvtunnelːːtvvagonːːtvvagonːːtv2locoː

Please let us know if you face any issues or bugs (especially with new workshop functionality)!
Stay tuned! ːtv2conductorː

Update #9

Greetings fellow train lovers! Here comes our new update – and this time we have prepared something really special for you! First of all, we have implemented some important changes in Leaderboards. Now Global rank is not that intrusive, and you can just ignore it if you prefer. But if you do care about it, we have 2 more parameters to compete for: Funds (money earned in a particular level) and Real Time (real-life time you spent playing that level, considering downtime during pauses and 2x/4x game speed). Also, we added some nice charts with histograms showing the total number of results and your position. That should also make the balancing of workshop level times easier for its authors.

The second big thing is a new feature in the Level Editor called Store Production. It sends trains automatically every N seconds. These trains do not require your resources or workers, not even your locomotives – you just get an additional train to deliver and earn money out of it (check the new Workshop guide video for more details). This feature is pretty much inspired by the gameplay of the original Train Valley, and it can help you to set the pace of your levels. To illustrate how it works, we present to you our new workshop level called Canal. And we want you to experiment with this mechanics as well, so today we announce a new Levels Contest! The rules are simple: make a new level using Store Production as a part of gameplay. The most creative, beautiful, and polished levels will get great prizes: Train Valley 2 merchandise and Steam codes!

Check the list below for the full patch notes. Choo-choo!

Features added:

- New Leaderboards screen with histograms and additional parameters
- Your global rank level is hidden on the Levels map. Rank button opens leaderboards screen
- New "Store" production automatically sending trains.
- Some new objects added in level editor.

Bugs fixed:
- "Multilevel road" achievement does not appear when using a tunnel.
- Added filter for inappropriate symbols in Workshop level names.
- "Dealmaker" achievement now requires a locomotive to visit all the stations with the same cargo.
- "At the last moment!" achievement does not appear if the last train was stopped.
- Some localization fixes.

Stay tuned! ːtv2conductorː


[ 2018-08-08 18:07:49 CET ] [ Original post ]

Update #8

Hello fellows! Here is our new update! This it is dedicated to one major feature - achievements. You asked, we did! 59 achievements in total with some hidden ones. Please note that not all of them can be done in Early Access version, but I am sure you will find a way to get most of them on current 20 levels (achievements does not work on Workshop levels). Bonus - couple of bugs fixed.

Bugs fixed:
- Start level paused option is not spoiling "do not pause" star on level 20;
- Bug with tracks construction limited by visible area in Level Editor.

Features added:
- Achievements;
- New interface lines localization to all languages.

We would be glad to hear your feedback on achievements! Probably someone can make a guide how to get them?
And please let us know if you face any bugs or other issues, we are here to help! Our next update is going to be in 2 weeks as always.
Stay tuned! ːtvhookː

Best Level Contest

Hello, train lovers! As you already know, a few days ago we released the Train Valley 2 level editor – the tool that we ourself use for creating the levels that you play in the game. If Train Valley 2 is all about creating your own railroad network in beautiful low-poly landscapes, with this tool you can create those landscapes and fill them with challenges for other players to overcome thanks to its Steam Workshop integration.

We know that we have a very passionate and talented community, and we want to reward that passion and see the great levels that you create using the editor. That’s why today we announce a contest for all Train Valley 2 players: create a level and upload it to the Workshop of the game. In one month from now (by July 15th) we will pick the best one and send him or her a gift from our Train Valley 2 merchandise shop: a t-shirt or hoodie of his or her choice.
https://fretshirt.com/collections/train-valley-2

Maybe you want to make the most beautiful landscape for trains to travel across. Or a level so devilishly difficult that even the creators of the game have a hard time to beat. Do you think you have what it takes to be a railway engineer? Create your own level to find out – we’re looking forward to playing your creations! Choo-choo! ːtv2conductorː


[ 2018-06-16 14:29:36 CET ] [ Original post ]

Update #5


Hello fellows! Sorry for small delay, but we had a good reason for that. We have finally finished level editor with workshop integration! Wow!
Small disclaimer: our editor is not perfect. But now it's much better than just a month ago. And it is functional enough to create sophisticated levels (main campaign stuff was done entirely in this editor).
Please note that it is not localised yet and there are some bugs (in to-do already), but if you face some other issues - let us know.
I have also prepared 3 videos guide describing main features of level editor and showing some tips and tricks. You can find it here.

P.S. In workshop you will find our new level called Fjords with some scandinavian vibes. Hope you will like it!

Looking forward for your feedback and your new levels!
Stay tuned! ːtv2conductorː

Rocket Factory


Hello fellows! It's Saturday, so it's time for swag from Train Valley 2. Today we are going to show you something very special.

So let me keep in secret all the ingredients required for the rocket. You will discover it yourself one day (small clue: a lot).

The loop!


Hello fellows! Great news! We have made a first public playtest of Train Valley 2 on DevGAMM conference showcase in Minsk (Belarus). There was very raw version shown. Players found a lot of important bugs and left tons of helpful feedback. But what is the most important - right now we are definitely sure that we are moving in the right direction in terms of gameplay and fun.
Here is the best moment of showcase from one of the players ))

Now we have a lot of work to be done before alpha testing.
Have a great weekend! Stay tuned! ːtvmachinistː
