Hello Engineers,

On June 20, Train World officially marked its 2-year anniversary! 🥳🥳🥳

Since launch, we've released dozens of updates improving visuals, stability, mechanics, and overall gameplay. With your feedback and support, the game has grown into a robust simulation experience for train fans around the world.

Below is a full recap of all updates released since the last announcement.

• Added fully-modeled tunnel interiors with electrification wires.

• Improved camera behavior in drive mode – no more sudden jumps when entering tunnels.

• Fixed gaps in tunnel interiors on long curves.

• Fixed tunnel entrance model and added proper collision checking to prevent overlapping tunnels.

• Added error messages for invalid construction involving tunnels.

• Fixed wall clipping and camera movement issues inside tunnels.

• Fixed rare rail snapping and overlapping track placement bugs.

• Added the "Pre-place wagons" option – wagons are placed instantly at uncoupling points when launching the train.

• Trains now revert to default layouts (as set in the train editor) when sent to the depot.

• Updated coupling/uncoupling tutorial to reflect new features.

• Added error message when wagon pre-placement fails due to blocked rails.

• Added "Straight Rail" modifier (default: Ctrl) – works for single and double rails.

• Updated rail overlay to be color-coded during upgrades.

• Removed unnecessary path recalculations when editing trains – eliminates jumpy behavior.

• Reduced snapping to lines and improved waypoint editing validation.

• Fixed various UI and construction tool quirks on all maps.

Nearly every train model in the game has received a visual upgrade over the past months:

• Updated bogie geometry.

• Closed gaps visible from underneath.

• Fixed minor model issues across dozens of steam, diesel, and electric locomotives.

• All passenger and freight wagons have been revised.

• Fixed Portola locomotive research cost.

• Fixed rare errors during \era transitions\ or first-time loads.

• Improved research tree scroll behavior – now focuses on newly unlocked items even across gaps.

• Fixed research tutorial flow and starting conditions in certain regions.

• Fixed disappearing trees, water circle artifacts, and tooltip inconsistencies.

• Fixed train edit filter panel reset and waypoint placement issues.

• Fixed cargo type loading options not appearing properly.

• Optimized performance when managing hundreds of trains on large maps.

• Fixed bugs when editing or launching trains with "Poor" power-to-weight ratios.

• Resolved issues with production chains not serviced by existing trains.

• Tutorial text corrections and improved clarity.

• Updated session-based achievements

• Added new map: Ironpeak Pass.

As the sole developer behind Train World, it’s been a deeply rewarding experience growing this game with you over the past two years. While I won’t have time for major new content development in the near future, I remain committed to: active bug fixing, performance improvements, and timely support for all players.

Thank you again for your continued enthusiasm and support! Here's to many more miles of track ahead! 🚂
