Enjoy a Smoother Ride: Rail Route Update 2
Hey Rail Route enthusiasts! Weve been hard at work, and were thrilled to share whats new in this update. This quality-of-life update, shaped by your feedback, aims to make the game more enjoyable and user-friendly. Lets dive in!
Weve made navigating the main menu smoother. Now, a single click opens map details where you can start a new game or load a save. Weve also added sorting options, letting you sort maps by completion and recently played.
We cleaned up station-related elements from regular station signs serving as map labels. You can now hover over a station label to instantly see the contract types it serves, with a handy button to configure the station. Plus, you can now order platforms numerically in station timelines via the options menu.
Weve moved the interface configuration and automated contracts manager buttons to the buttons line in the bottom left. The subtitles panel is now positioned differently to avoid obstructing the game board when the Story of Jozic starts. Additionally, you can now toggle the automatic camera moving and refocusing when the offered contract configuration opens.
Buying mode now looks distinct from build mode, and you can repeatedly grab and place items in the same spot without moving the mouse. These tweaks make construction more intuitive and efficient.
Players on the unstable branch have reported significant performance boosts, thanks to several optimizations. We changed how visuals refresh and update, removed some leftover animations and icons that were piling up behind the scenes, and cached some data to improve general performance. See the game changelog for details.
We've addressed several known issues:

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.MINIMAL SETUP
