The holidays are coming up, and so here is our gift to you.
Co-op is here!
We've been cooking this up for a while now. Co-op is a separate multiplayer mode that puts you and your friend in challenging scenarios where you have no choice but to work together. Support each other in contract work, use each others' railroads, and unite to survive.
Features:
- Work together on the same goals and tasks
- Help each other out! When one player loses, the game is over
- Contracts can be fulfilled by any player but reward will be received by the one who signed it
- No fee charges when using other player’s railroads
- Game can be paused during cooperative sessions
- Communication during the session is possible via in-game chat
- Special co-op scenarios achievements!
Special co-op maps
Of course, a new mode is best enjoyed in tailor-made maps. When you boot up co-op mode, you can choose between 3 brand new maps to play with your business partner.
Shipyard
The city of Westerly has recently constructed a shipyard. Of course, a shipyard needs ships, and ships need wood. That's what you and your business partner are going to provide!
City prosperity
Local authorities have issued licenses for rail transport! The condition, however, is that carriers improve development and prosperity in the region. You'll achieve this by providing railroad networks from town to town.
The Great Partnership
And of course, there's a sandbox map with no set objectives! You and your partner can explore this large map to your heart's content.
Other changes
Not into co-op? That's okay! We have some other changes as well, like auto-trading rules that allow you to set up what commodities to buy, sell or move between your factories automatically. Check out the changes here.
Invite a friend and give the new mode a whirl. And of course, let us know what you think on Discord!
