NIMBY Rails is a management sandbox for railways you build in the real world. Design train tracks, set up lines, and get that stock rolling to make money and serve the needs of the population. Do you have strong opinions on rail projects and want to test your own ideas? This game was made for you.

The world is your canvas. Design and play on a fully detailed real world map with 1cm resolution. A rail link from Lisbon to Shanghai? Anchorage to Buenos Aires? Cape Town to Rabat? Why not!
Your tracks will need to respect real, existing roads and streets. Too many crossings may make your designs not viable.
Streamlined circulation mechanics so you don't get bogged down by the details. Build and run a large network easily.
Trams, subways, commuter, regional and high speed trains. Tunnels, viaducts and ground tracks with a variety trade offs on the environment, train speed, and your company wallet.
Simulated train and station demand, down to simulating individual passengers. Passengers can, and will, engage in train trips that make them board multiple trains, waiting in transfer stations.
Demand flow based on time of day and time of week, with time zone support. Find it boring when night time comes and the stations are deserted? No problem, start a new line ten time zones away.
Passengers will continuously rate their experience based on the trip time and the fares you impose on them, with effects on the demand of the stations they visit.
Single player and offline first.
Optional cooperative multiplayer: build together in real time with friends and others you invite to your hosted server session.

Als Bahnfahrer pocht natürlich mein Herz auf, wenn man solch eine Simulation bekommt. Ich finde die Idee Super nett das man auf der ganzen Welt seine Schienen verlegen und Linien einrichten kann. Für diejenigen die ein grafisches Spiel suchen, die muss ich gleich Enttäuschen. Man muss schon eine gewisse Affinität für Menüs oder Fahrpläne mitbringen. Musikalische Untermalung oder sogar Sounds sind ebenfalls fehl am Platz. Es gibt auch keine Menschensammlung die über die Bahnsteige Huschen. Man befindet sich auf einer art Google Map und kann so seine (Straßenbahn & Zug) Schienen auf der ganzen Welt bauen. Sogar die verschiedenen Zeitzonen werden berücksichtigt. Depot & Signale müssen errichtet werden und kann dann seine Züge (die natürlich angezeigt werden) über die ganze Welt fahren lassen. Es gibt den Wirtschaftsmodus wo Geld eine Rolle spielt, oder man vergnügt sich mit dem Sandboxmodus. Man kann oder muss sogar den Fahrplan jedes einzelnen Zuges anpassen. Wann soll dieser im Depot abgestellt werden und wann soll dieser auf die Linie. Alles lässt sich einstellen. Das Spiel besitzt auch einen Multiplayer-Modus den ich aber noch nicht ausprobieren konnte. Das Spiel befindet sich im Early Access und hat auch noch paar Probleme mit der Zugwegfindung. Grundsätzlich funktinoiert diese sehr gut, jedoch wenn mehr Verzweigungen zusammen kommen, kommt es oft zu Kuriosen Linienführungen. Vielleicht habe ich aber nur falsch gebaut :D
Ich finde das Simulationsprinzip sehr genial und man könnte Stunden darin versenken. Jedoch muss man sich damit abfinden, dass man sich Hauptsächlich in Menüs oder Tabelle aufhaltet und keinen Grafischen Anspruch besitzt.

Man nehme das Openstreetmaps Kartenmaterial (16 GB) und haut da die Spiel UI drüber (18 MB) und nennt es Nimby Rails.. die Idee dahinter ist ganz nett aber mehr auch nicht..

Spiel gestartet Gleise zwischen Orte gebaut Bahnhof angebunden und dann versucht die erste Linie zu erstellen Startpunkt Bahnhof A --> Bahnhof B Spiel: Pfad nicht gefunden und schon steckt man fest weil man die Linie nicht fertig stellen kann.. nirgends wo Hilfe oder ein Tutorial!

wenn das Spiel mal aus dem E.A Raus ist kann man sicher einige stunden in dem spiel verlieren aber aktuell Sollte man besser die finger weglassen wenn es nicht grade im Sale ist!

Bis auf den Fahrplan (bzw. dessen Gestaltung) ist das Spiel echt cool. Nerds werden es lieben und alle anderen, die diese Thematik in anderen Spielen einmal probiert haben, bestimmt auch. Die gesamte Welt ist Dank OpenStreetMAP spielbar und in meinen ersten 7 Stunden habe ich die ÖBB Weststrecke sowie das gesamte U-Bahn-Netz der Wiener Linien und einige Trams nachgebaut (bzw. verbessert, ein paar Stationen weg, ein wenig den Tunnel verschwenkt usw..): ganz großes Kino und dass, obwohl es erst ein EARLY ACCESS ist: WOW! Toll gemacht und ich freue mich sehr über die weiteren Schritte. An die Nerds: KAUFT ES und helft mit und an die Anderen: KAUFT ES und habt Freude daran!

this game has enourmos potential but its not enough just with this version. UI needs to developed. And a tutorial is in need. It's so hard to understand things. Because of it's low popularity you cant find the tutorial videos that exactly teach the game. So i'll be looking at the game when its all finished. But now i've refound it.

you can play this game offline, all the map data comes with the game! besides that you can make very complex networks with the tools provided, the tools are fairly simple and not very hard to understand! this is a great game if you love trains, logistics, or living out you dream of making millions a day using public transport!

This game might be made for a specific kind of person, but since I bought the game I cannot seem to get anything else done. I had to pull myself away from it just to write this review. The level of detail in things that seem so minute such as train speed, population density, profitability, geography, and train models is astonishing. There is a lot going on in this game that you need to figure out in order to make a good virtual transit company, but you can also play the mode with unlimited money and just mess around building trains. There is not as much waiting as I thought there would be, as you can speed time up (just make sure to establish enough of a profit on your railways to pay back the interest from your bank loans). The game is almost entirely logistics, and requires you to think intuitively in both engineering and finance, but it can be pretty casual as there isn't really a barrier to entry. I for one am not an engineer nor a businessman and I seemed to get by. Above all else, this game REALLY makes me wish passenger trains were better where I live.

Despite this game still being in development its got a ton of great features and works well, and a ton more to come in the future. impressive scale crosses the globe or stay local and build accurate recreations from the real world.

There is currently only basic timetables and the stations really need more work but over all this is a great game, and I recommend it.

I'll put it simply, this game is not exciting for most. It involves a lot of starting at maps and numbers. It is slow paced and chill. There is no way to win. Despite this, it is a truly revolutionary title in terms of transport management games. As far as i know, this is the first attempt to create a real world simulator of this kind.

The dev is awesome and work on feedback provided by the community all the time, making the game better and more accessible with each update.

There is great future for this game, so if you feel like you like transport management and trains - this game is for you

Fairly speaking, this early access game still has many areas to improve. It has very simple graphic and no sound track with one game mode with no goals or achievements. But guess what, it still exceeds my expectations. Who can refuse the opportunity to rebuild the rails system in your beloved city, or the whole country, or even all over the world? This game gives you all the freedom to build your railway empire, with rails, trains, and your imagination. And the game developers still keep adding more features that I wish to have to the game. I really look forward to the next stable release!

With over 400 hours that I've already spent on it, I can promise that this game won't let rail fans down. Just buy it!

NIMBY Rails truly is a work of genius.

Why, you may ask? Because it lets you build any railway, real or fictional, anywhere in the world. You want to recreate the Trans-Siberian railway? Sure, go right ahead. You want to build a railway in antarctica? Yep, you can do that as well, but don't expect it to make any money...

Having touched the financial aspect of the game already, there's two modes:
- Normal Mode, where you're given a thousand million dollars, and the option to take out up to three loans of up to three thousand million dollars each. You need to make a profit by transporting passengers or else you go bankrupt.
- Unlimited Money, which is basically sandbox mode. You can build whatever you like, wherever you like, no matter the cost.

In the base game, you get three types of rails plus bridges and tunnels, as well as a few trains with fictional names, which are based on real life trains. However, Carlos, the developer, has implemented Steam Workshop integration and mod support from day one, which allows you to download (at the time of my review) hundreds of train and track mods, most of which are of really high quality.

Being an Early Access title, the game is still being developed, and new features are added with updates on a more or less regular basis. Bugs are almost non-existent, which I was very pleasantly surprised by. In all of my currently over 200 hours of gameplay, I haven't encountered a single bug, though I do not want to deny the possibility of there being a few minor ones. It's Early Access after all.

TL;DR: NIMBY Rails lets you build any railway you want. The choice of trains and tracks is steadily expanding, both in the base game and the Workshop. If you want a bit of a challenge, try playing without unlimited money and see how far your funds take you. Another plus: NIMBY is very polished for an Early Access game. So if you like trains or building complex networks, this is the game for you!

This game really does bring out my inner child, the endless fun of being able to play around with transit ideas that I've had for years now! It's like having a model city and building (almost) whatever crazy idea you want for your city, putting a station here, another transit line over there, and capturing these passengers way over there. All while remaining grounded in reality with the considerations for track speed, passenger timetables/load times, terrain, layout of a station, and so much more!

I feel this is THE definitive transit game that has ever been made, one that is *mostly* rooted reality... hahaha :D

Also I am recommend this game because of the vast improvement that it has come over the past year (2021), thankfully it isn't as frustrating and buggy and crash happy when I originally started playing the game. Do hope that an in-game soundtrack will come down the line and maybe some form of progression/achievement system! That would make this game even better tbh!

If you are much experienced in games of the same type, then you'll find it much faster to construct railways, to create a new line, to manage existing lines, a little bit hard at the beginning though. For me, the most impressive thing of the game is its map based on the real world.

Incredibly detailed for a game where you can build literally anywhere in the world. Realistic passenger figures and behaviour. The only downside is the overly high passenger expectations over long distance trips.

Overall still an awesome sandbox where you can build literally anything

(some of the) Things to do in this game:
- Build your local commuter network
- Build a better network if your local one sucks
- Build the most iconic railways globally (trans-siberian et al.)
- Build a global rail network
- Build whatever you want

Overall this game allows for a ton of fun while you come up with your own railways, try to make current railways more efficient or completely recreate some. Seeing what the current future of NIMBY Rails looks like, it has a high potential of adding even more options to keep you from ever exiting the game.

In current state, I must note that the game really isn't made for people that aren't a fan of simulations, trains or have had any interest in these (sandbox-ish) type games before. However, if you are any of the previous, definitely a GREAT recommendation!

For a game that is only £13.49, you can't argue with the amount of packed content for price. After paying this fee, I expected the game to be sluggish, boring, and lacking of content (bought as I was bored looking for a new game) but boy was I wrong... 933 hours play time, 56,388km (35,037 miles) of track laid, 102 lines created, 358 trains purchased later, I was able to create approximately 85-90% of the entire UK rail network, and I'm still building it 6 months later!! It has simply been an IMMENSE project that has completely submerged me with my free time.

NIMBY Rails provides endless freedom to create whatever journeys you want. Whether that be a small, pacey lines ( that connected two stations in close proximity, to creating feeder lines to service your national services, which, in turn, can be used to supply PAX to your international services. Customization is another great feature, customize lanes with any name, give each line a code, set the base ticket price, as well as costs per km, the line colour, train liveries, and with a future update coming this quarter, you can sub categorize, and sub-categorize, your services into tags, to better manage your services into regional, or national, tags, making it easier to navigate.

Micro-managing so much within your game adds an extra demand to play with. Want to change your company name as and when suited? In two clicks, it's done. Manage a detailed overview of your business, breaking down your accounts for each individual line, your running costs, maintenance costs, ticketing - from fares, refunds and compensations, to how many customers your individual services are running in real time. This can all be broken down into even further sub categories, from yearly, to on the day, in real time.

There is also customer satisfaction to keep an eye on, helping you understand line, and even station, satisfaction. This enables you, in real time, to understand where you're lines are performing above expectation, and where they're lagging, or they may be performing okay generally, but because of a train collision down an approaching track has made the station redundant until it's noticed and fixed accordingly, giving you an amazing overview on how to deal with problems in real time.

Even though it's still in Early Access, there is a dedicated modding community which has always delivered to add new content frequently. And with a dedicated developer, who is clearly passionate and devoted so much of his time to this game, it can only get better, especially with the contracts system, public opinion of your network and freight system being all but a few of my eagerly awaited content to drop.

As you can tell, I'm still very much addicted to this game, and still as hyped for it's content as I was when I first purchased it.

Feel free to drop any questions If you still need more information on my current play.

If you enjoy transportation and have a genuine interest in Railway, logistics, planning, etc then this is the game for you. It is not perfect, however it is still undergoing development.

It takes some time to understand how the game works with building, routing and all of that. However once you get a hold of it this is a game you can spend hour after hour on either re-creating real life railways or designing your own unique network.

This is one of the best train games I've played.

Now, you won't get beautiful graphics and 3D towns you would normally get in a regular train game, but what you do get is very interesting. Instead of building your trains in a small, procedurally generated environment, you get to build in the real world. And not just in a portion of the real world, you have access to the entire world at any given moment. You can recreate real or historical lines, or you can build a railroad line through your hometown and see what it would have been like to have access to high-speed rail.

The game focuses much more on the management of your trains, you will need to place signals correctly, establish lines, and determine the train schedule on your lines. Additionally, demand fluctuates throughout the day, so adjust your schedules accordingly.

I personally have really enjoyed adapting old and current railroad lines around my hometown and seeing how train transportation could work in my area (where there is no public transportation for at least 50 miles, and even then, there's very little).

Pros:

Trains
Trams
Let's you build literally anywhere in the entire world.
You can reopen long abandoned railroads.
You can make abandoned railroads. I guess.
STREET RUNNING IS POSSIBLE (with tram tracks).
There is effectively no limit on the size or complexity of your rail network. You can expand across the globe (other than the limit at which your computer will simply explode from the sheer scale and beauty of your rail empire).
You can pretend that public transportation doesn't suck wherever you live.
You can make profitable lines to prove that a line here IS a good idea.
You can show those politicians exactly what they should be doing instead of building yet another suburb.

Cons

Graphics could be better (I would like to see optional satellite imagery).
Openstreetmap data isn't always consistent. For example, sidewalks in my area are only partially mapped, which makes the sidewalks disappear and appear seemingly randomly. Fields are also rarely mapped (the game uses openstreetmap data). However, these are not really issues that can be solved by the developer.
The game limits the angle at which a crossing can be made, which seems reasonably, but it can actually prevent the placement of real-world crossings.
There's no imperial measurement option. I know metric is better, but when the speeds are listed in kp/h, I have no idea how fast the trains are actually moving.
Railroad crossings are pretty bland at the moment. They exist, but only as a small indicator near the track.
They game is really lacking in terms of customization. It would really nice to be able to add some decor to the map, as it can often be really boring to look at.
Unlike other games, where their nice graphics give you something to look at while exploring your vast transportation network, all that can be seen here is small, bland icons. Understandably, it would be very difficult to make a 3D game on the scale of the planet (unless you're Microsoft and have access to nearly unlimited resources), but it can be boring to simply see numbers and icons moving.

Overall, pretty great.

you will playing a game with wonderful and huge data base according to the earth ( populations, city locations and also without official borders , so u can built every city or country rail network if u want, i started with my homeland in iran and then gone to the japan (for population and huge number of cities on there) then i extended it to india, i will upload my rail networks when it has finished. now i have about 1 billion $ per month income from my rail networks :)
i enjoyed game but also i have ideas to improve gameplay for creators, so if u want to know it, please say how i can talk or chat to you directly ?

Absolutely brilliant rail and transport tool and world builder, but for fun. I've learned so much about trains through this game while also learning a lot about the place names and geography around where I live. It has made me even more passionate about advocating for better public transport options where I live in Glasgow!

Game is constantly being updates, which can be hard to adapt to if you've not played it in a while. Nonetheless, I keep coming back to it. Just be sure to read user guides as they're not only informative of gameplay but rail network terminology. You actually have to learn how real life rail networks work in practice. So super realistic and can be incredibly detailed if you want it to be.

10/10. Very excited to see how the game develops over time.

I understand that this game is ment to be Sandbox, but it is just incredibly easy.
You can throw around with money like nuts, especially because you start with 1.000.000.000 (which is till this date not changeable).
As soon as you build one railnetwork nothing really pushes you to expand, because the income is just ridiculously high. Instead you could just press the speed button and leave it running.
I would wish it would have had a more goal oriented/hard mode.
This review should be a warning for likeminded players.

This game is complicated and simple at the same time. The first time setting up a train line is a bit complicated but after that it is not so bad. The UI needs to be improved and some of the track building could changed.
The way ive been playing it so far is start in a random city and slowly build up a national and international rail network. This for me has been a fun and good way to approach the game. Overall id say the game is good but there needs to some clearer tutourials. Pleas add edge panning and i dont wont to re-click adding more tracks.

The game is very fun and the developer keeps working on the game constantly to improve it. If you build larger networks the performance will drop, but it already is a lot better since it was first released.

I love this game! The DEV post updates very often. Even in its current state the game is very playable. It already has workshop where you can download tons of different trains or upload your design. You can build manage your train networks on an actual map of the entire earth. The only con I can give this game is that I would like to be able for the ability to add a satellite image over lay for realism but the basic roads map still makes playing fun. I highly recommend you buy this game it is well worth the price. The developers are highly responsive and post regular updates something that is rare in Early Access games.

I'm playing the beta version (1.2) and there's a lot of depth to what appears, on the surface, to be a fairly simplistic game.
So far I've learned that nobody really wants to go to Harwich.

If you like railway design, planning and management, you'll likely enjoy this game. Lots of nice and complex features can already be found in this early access. I hope a dark map mode can be added in the future for late night playing.

Honestly, is too expensive for such a short-living fun experience. After a couple of hours the game enters in a stall mode because you've seen everything and there's no evolution or unlocking to do. Your sucessful in the game is too dependant on population so for people who want to start with London, Beijing and Mexico City is ok but don't even try developing a rail network for a small country. This is because the game works and thinks the same without caring if you're in Chicago or Puerto Varas.

Maybe some time from now i'll give it another try.

would only like to know if there will be curved stations & tracks with / without catenary ?
and it would be cool if you could make a 24/7 timetable

The game for the railway nerd!
It's going very well for early access.

What should be added from my point of view:
- single tracks
- clip platforms to the track
- curved platforms / following the course of the track
- a connection that turns stations that are close to each other into one
- more targeted behaviour of the branching tool
- multiple traction
- for the future: bus lines, ferry connections

If you have spent hours following train lines on google maps, this game is litterally designed for you. It is pretty new and is still lacking a lot of basic things like converting kmph to mph and m to ft but its still a great game. If you are not sure about the price come back in a month or two and check back in. The developer has been putting out updates constantly!

I only recommend this to a very niche audience, but for that it's the best (only?) sim/game in its class. If the idea of drawing railway lines on a real world map and then watching passengers and trains path around them is interesting to you, then it's worth checking out. If you're mostly concerned about a *game* rather than watching your railway ant farm then you'll be disappointed. Playing with unlimited money is kind of zen - I can very slowly make a railway map that looks nice, look at which areas are busiest and make new lines to alleviate congestion and in the meantime just watch the bustling activity of my railways.

Like I say, it will only appeal to a niche audience, but if that audience is you it's very worth checking out. The developer is also extremely responsive and active so I'm excited for future improvements.

I love this game, I've spent 250 hours playing it now recreating authentic British rail routes and still I have barely scratched the surface of possibilities open to me through this game. The idea is so simple and the execution so good, I'd been waiting on a game like this for so long and I'm really really pleased not only that it now exists but that it is so good too. There have already been so many changes and improvements and I look forward to all of the ones to come as well. Bravo Weird and Wry!

This game allows you to recreate both modern, and disused lines. The mods that are available add train types from across the world. The only thing I struggled with at first was the scheduling of trains, however there's some excellent material available on YouTube that helped enormously. Endless hours of fun to be had.

NIMBY Rails has only just reached EA so it's far from feature complete, but what is here is already a great deal of fun. Train games are nothing new, and nor are maps that let you build in real-world locations, but this has - no pun intended - completely changed the game because it uses real-world map data of THE ENTIRE WORLD. (If you think I am kidding, or exaggerating, I just tracked down the location of McMurdo station in Antarctica and *It's in the game*)

My first line? A little tram system that ran around my hometown in Northern Ireland, and then connected with Belfast. I know these places personally and intimately, and despite the shall we say functional graphics it is incredibly easy to imagine myself walking down the street and actually seeing a tram trundle by. I found I hadn't laid out the most efficient tram system in the end, but one which connected the places in town I personally would have most wanted connected, and I set the fares at a silly low level because I thought of how useful it would have been for my wee granny to be able to get around cheaply.

Of course with the whole world open there's nothing stopping you from going and building somewhere completely different, whether it's faithfully replicating the London or New York Underground systems, a completely original train network to handle the hyperdense megacity of Tokyo, or establishing a high speed rail system around the continental United States.

I am legitimately going to try and build a rail tunnel connecting Europe and North America and the fact the game lets you do this *at scale* is probably all that needs to be said.

General Gameplay Comments:

Its early access, and as such it does have a lack of some features, an example would be train templates... Another example is there is currently no single track option. things like signals are also not present.

But this stuff should not take to long to arrive once the base and foundations are completed..

I know some of it is planned from reading the boards like the single track. also planned is tweaks to the current management side of the game. Currently you cant view global happiness via a menu system, instead you have to click on each station.

So, its nice to know that changes are coming, but right now its largest downfall is probably in the management systems. They are not bad nor terrible, just not complete and as refined as they will probably become over time.

As you learn the current mechanics it becomes mainly a track laying experience, plus you will also notice some balancing issues, such as the AI(pax) expectations

Conclusion

Is it worth getting...

In its current state if you relish the prospect of mainly recreating a real life network over the management side of this game then its a real winner. but if you want to actually achieve happy customers on real life layouts forget it.

however factoring in the games mechanics doing this is not the best course of action. I believe that when other things are added like single track real world lines will begin to come more of a reality in conjunction with the current game mechanics.

but also in its current state i also have recently starting to become frustrated with some of the mechanics, particular the AI expectations and also content wise, or maybe more apt longevitiy speaking the game is better played with unlimited money and treat as a track laying game. it is starting to feel boring and pointless after 50hrs

But, early access...
So if some of my remarks have discouraged you, dont cross it off your wishlist...

Because the game has massive scope, huge potential, and its still in development. In addition to this if your prepared to tweak (and/or) add some fake lines to the real life routes things can more viable. Not to mention if you completely ignore real life routes altogether then you can achieve more pax satisfaction overall by using the games mechanics more effectively

The games development should bring new management systems, simplify (and/or) complicate other aspects of it.

so yes thumbs up...

however if certain things dont change in the pax expectations that make me happier then this review is going to change to thumbs down even if the words dont alter

1)Plan your cities rail infrastructure system
2)Create said infrastructure system
3) Buy trains establish lines
4) Tweek times to make it all run like butter
5) Realize the people who actually do this where you live don't know what the hell they are doing

At first Glance, this game looks like your run of the mill, Transport Tycoon-but 2D sandbox style game. But once you take more than a cursory look at the game, it is clear to see how one can be so enthralled in it's work ways and design.

To Be fair, there is a little bit of jankiness around the edges, but that is more than expected for a game on Early Access. What is perfectly clear however, is that the Developer has put a lot of thought and love into making this game, and with the use of Online servers such as Discord, is always using the feedback of players to better adapt and perfect an already outstanding game.

Yes, the fact that the entirety of Planet Earth acts as an ever-expanding canvas for you to build from can be quite daunting, but in the few weeks this game has been live (as of writing this review) people have build entire cities, nay, entire country networks using trains, trams, and even Trains pretending to be ferries! (And as for me, a whole lot of Australia will soon see the Physigist Transit Network on it's front step.)

Kudos to the developer for such amazing work, and here's to the future!

Quite a good game if you are interested in business management, trains and geography. Being a early access game, there is some areas which need improving but overall its very good so far. I enjoy placing the railway lines, and you can get some very interesting routes as a result. Platform/station placement could be improved but route management and train operation is very good. The game is pretty self explanatory, but could do with some kind of in game tutorial to help new players.

终于steam上出现了这款测试阶段就展现的如此合我心意的作品。后续更新期�-

From subways to high-speed rails, with a real Earth map with unlimited details, I have no reasons but to give a recommendation. Start with building exiting hometown subway lines, then realise those lines that are still on blueprints and plannings. How enjoyable it is! Some games are too real with quite small maps (TF2, CSL), some are with large maps but unrealistic cities and roads. (Don't remember the name).
Finally, there is one game, THIS ONES, that pops up on steam and shows such a satisfying characteristic even in early access. I wish the following updates will bring even better experience.

Some suggestions regarding future changes:
- More real-world vehicles,
- Stations with more details and parameters that can be customised.
- More advanced transfer AI as mentioned by other players as well.
- Adjustable population density at the beginning. (Or maybe latest maps for China mainland. Some out-of-date map data results in those areas with less population than they currently have, and this may attract more purchases from Chinese players)
- Maybe flight or ships in the far future?
- More currency and languages supported.

Best wishes, that's all I have now!

Pretty basic so far, but it's got great potential is pretty playable in early access. Few points/suggestions:

- Opening/closing panels is a bit wonky right now
- The camera controls are a bit non-standard & slightly frustrating
- Having some road names (not just place names) would be great for laying out real world networks.
- In the roadmap, but the options available for interchanges/wye/switches feel limited right now
- Having different interest points like airports, offices/job density, and stadiums to generate specific kinds of demand would add a lot of depth
