While approaching the full release of Rail Route (check out this post if missed this!) we are now inviting you, our beloved community, to be part of Rail Route forever. This is your opportunity to create an immortal piece of Rail Route!
Starting today, and running until the 14th of January we are calling you, our players, to join our Community Map Contest. This is your opportunity to take map creation to a new level.
The most interesting and exciting maps, adding variation (location, play style and layout) to the current selection of maps, will be picked up and included in the official selection for Rail Route 1.0!
How to participate:
Join our Discord, and check out the #contest channel
Create your map and upload it to the workshop, so we can play it
Submit in a post in the #contest channel
Map rules:
Based on a real location (variation in location will be rewarded)
Endless mode
We are looking forward to see your creative contributions, until then - Happy Holidays, dispatch some trains and enjoy the Steam Winter Sale discount of 20%!
- The Rail Route Team
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.
