We've just released an update that fixes a number of bugs in Creative Mode and adds some bits of polish. Enjoy!

• Creative levels now need to have a description before you can upload them.
  
• Cities in creative mode can now only rotate 90 degrees to prevent problems with houses that spawn around the cities.
  
• Added that you can now brush decorations with an even lower density.
  
• Added three possible random cards to new creative levels by default: cheap rails, cheap bridges and heavy freight train.

• Fixed that diorama mode would persist in campaign levels after playing a creative level with diorama mode active.
  
• Fixed that the game might boot up a VR device or that it might crash if you have a VR device installed. (Please let us know if the issue persists!)
  
• Fixed that you could open a broken state of a level when you open a save of a creative level that has been deleted.
  
• Fixed various models not turning red on invalid locations in creative mode
  
• Fixed that clicking the “open level page in browser” would sometimes give the browser a wrong URL.
  
• Fixed that the “sort by” dropdown in the mod browser would add additional dropdown entries on reopening the mod browser.
  
• Fixed that the density setting didn’t do enough for “dense forest” and “impenetrable rocks”.
  
• Fixed that “no building connection” pins on stations would reappear when you removed them, by disabling and enabling the HUD or taking a Steam screenshot.
  
• Fixed that the controller becomes unresponsive during the credits.
  
• Fixed that the credits wouldn’t scroll all the way up before it disappears.
  
• Fixed that changing the graphics options using a controller wouldn’t save the new options.
  
• Fixed that animals would sometimes be invisible while placing them in creative mode.
  
• Fixed various texts and naming improvements.
  
• Fixed various localization issues in which the text wouldn’t fit in their box.

===============================

• Changed the model of the Passenger Terminal station in Eveningstar Valley to the Maliebaan Station in celebration of the 150th birthday of this historic station in Utrecht (near our office). It's currently the home of the Dutch Railway Museum, and houses the original Big Green - which is the passenger locomotive in Station to Station.
  
• Revamped the save/load system. This shouldn’t cause any issues, but if there are any please let us know!
  
• Improved performance when creating rails.

Konnichiwa conductors! 車掌さん、こんにちは！

Hello conductors,
2023 was a spectacular first year for Galaxy Grove and our journey doesn’t end there. As we lay tracks for the year ahead, we wanted to share our roadmap for 2024 with you.

The first stop is a brand-new region that we’ll be pulling into in March!

We can't say too much about it just yet, but let's just say that Spring blooms spectacularly in this region, which makes it the perfect time to release it!

While we can’t confirm it yet, do you have any guesses about where we may be heading? Drop your best guesses in the comments below!

As it’s a new region, there’ll be new industries to discover, as well as new card types to be added to your deck! In total, there’ll be 5 new levels in this region, as well as a new tiny level, and a brand new level type that we’ll be releasing this update as well.

💭 Speaking of, every region apart from Greenlands will be getting a brand new level! These are fun, creative levels inspired by whatever ridiculous ideas our level designers could dream up and we hope that you enjoy them as much as we did bringing them to life.
But the journey doesn't end there! As the seasons shift, so does our focus. This Summer, we're throwing open the cab doors and letting you climb into the conductor's seat with the arrival of creative mode!
We're keeping the specifics under wraps for now, but trust us, the power to tailor your Station to Station experience is going to be a game-changer.

Over the next few months, we’ll be able to give a more concrete date for this, but we couldn't be more excited to finally add creative mode to the game! We can't wait to see what you dream up on the rails.
