Rail Route - a train dispatcher simulator (tuxdb.com)

Update 9 is OUT!

Hello Dispatchers! Update 9 has been released on the stable branch.

What's new?

New Menu

The new menu is the most significant change you'll notice when you start playing the game, and it marks the start of our planned updates to the user interface. One of the most notable improvements (besides the visuals) is that you can use it without a mouse - you can use just a controller or keyboard. The maps have been divided into categories to make finding what you're looking for easier. We've also set the groundwork for adding the workshop browser directly into the menu in the future. Give the new menu a try and let us know what you'd like to see in the future!

Waiting Train Icons

We've made some changes to the icons that show when a train is coming. They're now closer to where the train starts, like the platform or the train yard. That gives us more open space around the station signs - and we have an exciting new type of icon coming soon. Any guesses? Leave us a comment!

New crossings

We adding 148 switch configurations to the game in alignment with previous updates. It's unbelievable we missed so many. We haven't employed any speed penalty on high-density switches as initially planned; we need more time to think it through. Feel free to give us insights on this in the comments as well!

Refactoring

We've made some big changes to our code to help us get more content to you faster through future updates. This also means that the 'level.txt' file for map definitions isn't there anymore. You can make it easier to edit timetable data by importing and exporting it in the editor.

Changelog

NEW: Export and import of trains in Editor - text file editing support (added because of REFACTORING: Storing maps in binary format)
NEW: Possibility to build all remaining switches and crossings where at least one path is valid
NEW: Train reward icons
NEW: Visual improvements

UPDATE: Localizations (cs: tutorials, ui; de: ui; en: ui; fr: ui; no: ui; ja-JP: tutorials, ui; pl: ui)
UPDATE: Pre-defined contracts in endless game preserve number of their prototype trains from Editor (digits only)
UPDATE: Reset All in options resets only displayed options, does not reset saved score
UPDATE: Trains longer than platforms supported
UPDATE: Trial train from editor stops at all pre-defined stations even if it is not the commuter train
UPDATE: Vulcan graphics API as a default target for linux
REFACTORING: Storing maps in binary format (savedMap.bytes) instead of text format (level.txt)

FIX: AutoBlocks were mistakenly considered reachable by connecting to their signal from illegal direction
FIX: Bulldozing 3 connected switches in a specific way resulted in an error and a random signal appearing
FIX: False breaking alerts for passing trains at platform's signal
FIX: Levels without uuid caused map list not being loaded. Now logged and skipped.
FIX: Mouse actions executed even though the mouse on a different application above Rail Route screen
FIX: Focusing on station while focusing on a train was making a glitch and keeps focusing on the train.
FIX: Non rebindable actions on gamepad were still shown in options menu
FIX: Restarting Wakefield map caused a time shifting
FIX: Train overshot station on high speed if there was another platform traversed in the braking distance
FIX: Wrong instant camera padding if mouse was on a different application and then the mouse clicked on Rail Route screen

Rail Route [linux] [280.41 M]

Rail Route is a train dispatcher simulator. You negotiate contracts, build rail roads, set up routes for trains and control the traffic. Unlock features of your dispatcher interface, upgrade railway network elements and research new technologies that allow you to automate the operations!

Manual Routing

Manual Routing is basic mode to control the rail roads from the beginning of the game. You set up switches and signals one by one. Nothing but your skill and focus prevent collisions.

Automated Routing

Automated Routing helps when traffic becomes busy on a complex yard. You need a few clicks to set up all switches and signals en route. Collision avoidance included. Available later in the game when you unlock it and upgrade the signals.

Building

Build your own rail network to optimize the traffic. Be creative and fill every possible space you have.

Automation

Automation allows you to operate your railway network without your hands on. Your growing traffic does not lock you in the operations, freeing your hands for further expansion. You build the automation sensors and set up route to create when trains go by.

Level Editor

Level editor allows you to create a custom board with everything that comes with it. Create a schematic of your hometown rail roads, your imaginary rail network or even model the Tube rapid transit system using it! The rectangles you see moving can be modern or historic trains, the underground trains, trams, monorails, just whatever you imagine.
