Patch #17 - Build 24310
Hey everyone, Joey here! It's been far too long since we had the pleasure of bringing you the latest batch of fixes. First and foremost, we're really sorry about the extended delay here. As we're nearing larger milestones internally with the project, we recently had some goals that required 'all hands on deck', so to speak. Unfortunately, however, this had the consequence of delaying our PC patch that we had planned to have out much sooner.
On the bright side, the scope of these internal milestones, which I sadly can't talk about just yet, resulted in many bug fixes as well as performance improvements. I can hint that they will lead to some really exciting bits of news in the near future though! As we start to shift from content development to polishing, a more stable and finished product will thankfully emerge from the other end. It's too soon to pour the whiskey just yet, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
I won't drone on further here though, because we both know you just want those juicy notes! Please enjoy our latest patch and let us know, either on Steam or on our Discord, if you have any issues with it!

- Fixed problem with blocked tracks in Cologne area, Dresden Pumpjack, and at the entrance of Szczecin Main
- Fixed a problem with a missing entrance marker in Dortmund Steel Mill
- Fixed a problem with snow covering rails in tunnels – I mean, I could have found some excuse for this, like maybe the wind blew it in or something

- Fixed using SPACE as control action's input
- Fixed an issue with stations only producing 1 contract per good type, now they will produce a maximum of 10 per good type – This can only be described as a major bug that I'm surprised wasn't noticed sooner, but we're really looking forward to how the community enjoys the intended contract gameplay!
- Fixed an issue allowing players to enter service centers without applying the emergency brake first
- Fixed an issue where the player could enter the pickup/dropoff minigame without applying the emergency brake first

- Fixed a problem with the money bonus from contracts being different than expected

- Fixed various problems with some missing, disconnected, and clipping electrical lines
- Fixed a problem with redundant lampposts at Szczecin Main
- Fixed a problem with missing passengers on the platforms of Hamburg Main
- ixed a problem with the horn when the player opens the tablet – I'd still like to add a 1/10000 chance that when you honk the horn you hear a goose instead. We'll see what the future holds!
- ixed some missing translations
- Fixed a crash while re-entering decoupling mode after delivering a contract
- Fixed a rare crash that occurred while leaving a Service Center
- Fixed a common crash that occurred when trying to switch to a different tab from the Station Panel
- Fixed an issue with pickup and drop off tracks not appearing after loading save data created within the station
- Improved the visual transition into and out of snowy regions – Minecraft-esque biome transitions definitely shouldn't be present in our game, as much as I love Minecraft
