Hello Dispatchers! Were excited to announce that the Co-Op Update is now live!
This update comes as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Rail Routes 1.0 release. To mark the occasion, were offering our biggest discount yet 50% off! Its the perfect time to invite a friend and play Rail Route together.

Co-Op Multiplayer, Desyncs, and More

We have added co-op multiplayer to all three game modes, so you can now enjoy Rail Route with friends! Adding multiplayer to a finished game like Rail Route was a big challenge, but we found a good way to do it using the lockstep technique. While we have worked hard to make multiplayer smooth, desynchronization issues can still happen. Our amazing Discord community helped us find and fix many problems, but there might still be a few left. Please be patient as we continue to improve multiplayer.

Curated Map Pack

We believe multiplayer is a great addition to Rail Route, and we hope you enjoy this free update as much as we enjoyed making it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3570380/Rail_Route__Curated_Map_Pack/ If youd like to support our team and future free updates, weve released a small optional DLC the Curated Map Pack. This pack includes carefully selected community-made maps that we think are fun and interesting to play. Each map has been slightly improved and included with the authors permission to ensure quality and playability. If you dont want to search for great maps yourself, this pack is for you!

How to check for Desynchronization Issues

If the game desynchronizes, it means that the client and host might see different versions of the game. At first, these differences may be small and hard to notice, but they can grow over time. If you experience this, we recommend the client reconnects to the host. This refreshes the game state and should fix the problem.
If you want to help us find more desync issues, you can enable the automatic game state checker in the debug panel (F2). This tool checks the game every 2 minutes and reports any differences. If you find an issue, please send us the logs from all players involved so we can investigate! Thanks for reading, and happy dispatching!

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.
