Hey there! Really appreciate you sharing your take on the trains! Yeah, we get that they can feel like a late-game feature with the way costs and upgrades go. It's super helpful to hear this kind of feedback, especially since we're still tweaking things in early access. Thanks for being part of the journey and helping us make Voxel Tycoon even better!

How can you ever "complete" a model railway? ;)
It's something you put away for a while and pull it back out once every now and then.
There might even be some clue in the game not being called "Voxel Railway" or "Train Tycoon"

In my opinion there's nothing wrong with some parts being more easy to access than others. If trains were prioritised over trucks, (the other) half of the player base would complain. Not to mention conveyor belts...
After all, game "balance" is a fickle thing and it's probably impossible to please everyone... especially with this kind of "sandboxy" game where everyone has their own ideas of how to play… and wouldn't I hate it if someone took away my shovel…
