Thank you for reading and playing our game! My name is Daniel and I’m excited to show off our many new additions to Railgrade we’ve launched today in Update #6. Our goal this Update was to expand Sandbox mode and give it more choices and a high tier goal to work towards.
We’ve also implemented a couple super requested features you can leverage in both campaign and sandbox, so keep reading!
Sandbox Features
Nuclear Production Chain
Need an absolute ton of energy to catalyze your economy? Consider the Nuclear Powerplant production chain. These giant powerplants are expensive but produce energy using Centrifuge refined Uranium Ore.
Minimap
Now you see the entire map at once in Sandbox. Clicking on a position will pan your camera over to the destination. Industry, Resource Desposits, and Track are highlighted on the map.
Microdocks & Double Docks
In Sandbox export docks are limited in how much freight they can handle in a minute. Therefore we've added two new docks to allow you better optimization when picking a dock in your export chain.
Campaign & Sandbox Features
Wait until full and Wait until empty Station Behaviour
Players have long requested the ability to tune the behaviour of trains at stations. Now you can!
Warehouses!
Next up, and perhaps our most requested feature: Warehouses! Use these to store excess freight or transfer freight between main lines and branch lines.
Check out the full change log below to see even more features & Fixes. Thank you for playing our game!
